Director William Eubank Talks The Signal

The Signal director William Eubank speaks with us about making a little sci-fi movie with big ideas. Den Of Geek: What inspired the movie? I really wanted to jump into that. There was a specific idea but I couldnt say it without totally destroying the film. But theres like a one sentence line about like hey, I want to make a movie about this. And thats how we got into it....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Wrath of Tiger Claw review

Karai grapples with her parentage and Tiger Claw returns in this new TMNT episode! Its hard to keep a good bounty hunter down. Shredder has a new plan that no one has ever thought of before. Fighting the turtles directly hasnt worked, so hell hurt them elsewhere by going after Casey and April. It was a pleasant change of pace that Casey was the one needing to be rescued. Karai sets off a tracker, signaling Tiger Claw to where she is....

Looking back at Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Odd numbered Star Trek movies are rubbish, right? Stefan goes back to the beginning to check that assertion… Writers log, supplemental. Before we begin, let me quickly present my personalStar Trekcredentials. My favouriteTrekseries isDS9, followed closely byTNG. I could probably offer a half-plausible defence of some ofVoyagerif you wanted me to, although Id rather not. Or just use a tricorder, you qoH. How would you reintroduce him? Its supremely odd, but entirely typical ofThe Motion Pictures approach, i....

The new wave of death-obsessed TV drama

Some lose faith, others gain it. Some pull away from their remaining family, others draw closer. Extravagant belief structures are erected in the post-event world, some groups decrying humankinds sin and others preaching hedonism. However insistent the dogma though, nobody has the answer. Whatever they believe, nobody knows where the disappeared went, or why. Through its increasingly complex supernatural mystery it stages simple human truths. The ReturnedandIn The Fleshform the vanguard of a new wave of moribund TV drama....

Tomodachi Life Review

A direct sequel to the 2009 Japan-exclusiveTomodachi Collection, the game can loosely be described asThe Simswith Mii characters. Tomodachi Lifeis somewhat restricted in certain ways, but extremely open in others. It certainly helps that your islanders will develop unique personalities depending on the parameters you set when creating them. Theres no getting around the fact thatTomodachi Lifeis a weird game a VERY weird game. Adding to this ridiculousness is the absurdist mini-games that can pop up periodically and without warning....

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill Talk 22 Jump Street, Gambit, & N.W.A.

Ad content continues below Channing Tatum:Yeah, for sure. But, I dont know, the movies not out yet, so I dont want to jinx it. Im a little superstitious that way. JH:Especially because it comes out on Friday the 13th....

Downfall of the Planet of the Apes

Not surprisingly then, I became a little obsessed. I sat through every episode of the miserable TV series that followed and the even worse Saturday morning cartoon. Maybe its understandable then why I was so hesitant to see any of the remakes. Who needs wrongheaded crap sullying up the waters when they were perfect as it was? So I opened a beer, took a deep breath, and watched it. Okay, although I would ultimately come down in favor of the film, it was a tough call....

Louie: In The Woods Review

Louie crosses a childhood gateway in the reefer focused episode, “In the Woods.” Louieis almost exclusively multipart episodes this season. In the Woods adds on one more self-contained episode. Furthermore, theres the simple issue of the catalyst of all Louies troubles being marijuana. to further bad choices. In other words, you turn into a lazy, boring piece of shit. smartly presents the dealer as just another dude, as most dealers realistically tend to be....

Remembering Robert Mitchum

Considering he didnt act, Mitchum was amazingly versatile onscreen. He also had great comic timing, and a slow, measured voice. Never once was he upstaged by another performance. If he was onscreen, he held your attention. Maybe that was because he never looked like he cared for your attention one way or another. His performance won him his only Academy Award nomination. He also had great chemistry as a leading man with Jean Simmons and Deborah Kerr....

Why it’s great to see the return of Mirror’s Edge

Against this dystopian backdrop, a conspiracy thriller plays out, with Faiths sister framed for murder. InMirrors Edge,the almost complete lack of guns allowed Graces strength and skill to take centre stage. It shouldnt be forgotten, however, that not everything inMirrors Edgeworked. That she wasnt caucasian, male or overtly obsessed with machine guns alone made her stand out. After years of almost total silence, a sequel toMirrors Edgewas finally announced at E3 last year....

24: Live Another Day: Day 9: 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Review

We outran a few drones to bring you this review of 24: Live Another Day. Wiser men than me have said to not take yourself so seriously. Do even less when watching24because buying into everything it throws our way is maddening. Yet Im still here, watching, reviewing, and hanging on to Jacks every word. The show might have died years ago, but the character lives on. MI5 is cooperative with Bauer because he saved more than a few asses and hes gained their trust....
