Last weekThe Leftoversdebuted with a grim premierethat was melancholic and borderline unsettling. As of now though,The Leftoversstill has me on the hook. I find Police Chief Kevin Garveys storyline incredibly intriguing based on its surrealism. Its hard to tell just whats real in the chiefs life and whats in his head.

It seems the mayor cannot rationalize how pointless it can all seem. That makes two of us, Mr. Mayor. Especially after tonights episode. Yes, tonightTrue Bloodattempted to ask some big George R.R. And the biggest irony is that this death serves the greatest narrative function of all! …But were getting ahead of ourselves. First and foremost came our first Eric heavy episode in season seven. Its thus unfortunate that so much of it was spent living in the past....

How have you found the reaction so far? Its been incredible and weve had such an overwhelmingly good response. Its all been, for the most part, really positive. Clarke is interesting because shes a natural leader but shes also quite reluctant to take that role on. How do you balance that side of the character with the teenage girl? And she does, and I think she does a really good job for such a young girl....

The Sailor Moon Crystal premiere has arrived. Here’s our in-depth review of the first episode. Mainly yes, with a side of no. This isnt a bad thing. Sailor Moons origin is kind of perfect. When tweaking it, it really becomes a case of less is more. Once time marched on and those trends went out of style, all the emphasis on how MODERN! an interpretationPretty Guardian Sailor Moonwas ended up seeming dated at best and pandering at worst....

Welcome to the first Den Of Geek letters page! You’ve written in, we’ve answered… We did not think you would like the idea very much. Turns out, some of you did. (Also would it be possible to do a list of underappreciated action films? Ad content continues below Also: every Jason Statham film is underappreciated. This letter started with some nice stuff about us, but were a bit shy. Its long been a puzzle to me as to how the weekly cash income of a movie is decided....

Miyazakis final film,The Wind Rises,was a bravely individual parting shot. Can it survive the absence of its most famous and prolific animator? Warmly received by critics,Princess Kaguyaserves as the swansong for the 79-year-old animator ofGrave Of The FirefliesandPom Poko. So what does Studio Ghiblis future hold? We have no future plans, he told Collin. We just want to take some time off. So, Ghibli can say We stop film production....

Ad content continues below Call of Dutys latest isAdvancedWarfare, a game that I dare call cookie-cutter. The change of direction is suspect albeit typical. Activision has a formula, and it has worked. Convoluted single-player campaigns havent been enough to knockdownCoDfrom its throne. Since 2007, the franchise has reigned as THE mulitplayer shooter on consoles. But if one thing is certain in the gaming industry, its that the new becomes old rather quickly....

If you compare this to the last film you directed,4.3.2.1, that had a huge procession of companies involved. This has Universal, your company and The Tea Shop & Film Company. Is that indicative that this was a slightly easier project to pull together? That the currency youve built up over your past few projects makes it a slightly easier sell? Its not necessarily easier. Its just indicative of, as a brand, us getting stronger....

It is, however, a good friend of hers, a young tennis phenom named Rui Saionji. Okay, look, they straight up name-dropped Martina Navratilova; that youmas mullet was no accident. Also, I gotta say… I feel a little uncomfortable with the imagery of an extending phallic symbol knocking out an obviously dykey figure. Considering what a game-changing episode this is, it doesnt really develop the Sailor Senshi at all. In fact, it develops everyonebutthem....

The man who gave you Emily Rose and Sinister delivers a police thriller about demons and exorcisms. Den Of Geek: How did the story of Ralph Sarchie come to you? And I thought that the material was really engaging and got involved then. And that was beforeEmily Rose. I ended up optioning that myself. The two stories have some similar themes… I mean I think obviously they both deal with the paranormal and possession and exorcism....

Think of it as a serious version ofGhostbusters. Of course, he ends up lashing out at his wife and daughter. But then the jump scares, shock noises, and heavy-handed action come crashing in all over again. The best horror comes from the dawning, often subtle realization that something is dreadfully awry with the world.

Four friends find an alien and set off on a quest to help him get home. Here’s our Earth to Echo review… Earth to Echois unsurprisingly, exactly as advertised. But for those who arent old enough to care about such things, it should spark some summertime imaginations. an adorable little alien. Theres little in the way of originality, but theres still a fair amount of charm. Earth to Echois not quite a found footage movie....
