We bid farewell to a major character as The Strain races towards its intense conclusion. This review ofThe Straincontains spoilers. It is a moment of mixed emotions. There is a sense of purpose and accomplishment, a feeling of a long life well lived. Between the two, thats a loss of almost 200 years of sheer badassery. Ad content continues below Now that Setrakian is gone, our heroes are emboldened. This season ofThe Strainis quite streamlined, with no time for love triangles or that kind of thing....

Corey Mitchel talks us through the unmade Snake Plissken anime follow-on from Escape From L.A…. This article comes fromDen of Geek UK. While the comic was published, both the anime and game were scrapped before completion. I recently spoke with Corey Mitchel, who co-wrote the screenplay for theSnakeanime alongside William Wilson. Could you give a little background on your writing career, and the path that led to the project? The Snake Plissken anime was my first paid writing assignment....

Ask me again after the eighthChildren Of The Cornmovie as to whether this was a good idea or not. The film then spun its wheels until its characters had caught up with their more knowledgeable viewers. The second film works better by navigating that dramatic irony more successfully. The central partnership that forms the entry into this homicidal and cornfield-obsessed world is also more effective. Its here that the film starts to weaken from a reasonably strong first half....

Telling people you’re facing depression can be very tricky - but it’s worth it. We dont offer miracle cures, just a few thoughts that will hopefully be useful to a few people. Youll grow out of it. Pull your socks up. These are all phrases which have undoubtedly been heard by every one of us at one point or another. For some it was about their hairstyle, for some their sexuality, for some their body image....

The prequel to Life is Strange focuses more on life and less on what’s strange. Here is our review. Life is Strange: Before the Stormdoesnt really seem interested in whether you like it or not. At first, that must seem like an odd position for a game to take. Get a Free Trial of GameFly on Us! Before the Stormfocuses on the normal life of 16-year-old Chloe. That first season of the game reminds me a lot of the CW showRiverdale....

Standing on the shoulders of giants doesn’t always afford you a view into the future. Why Prey didn’t capture the magic of its predecessors. Early into my first playthrough ofPrey, I found myself dwelling on mundane positives. Those intro credits sure are slick. Look at all the stuff it’s possible for you to pick up! Can you imagine if someone from 1994 could see this game? Why was I so hung up on these arbitrary qualities?...

The Mist heads to the smaller screen - but how does it fare? It combined moments of satire, horror, and political commentary with ease by keeping things simple and character-based. Its an effective shift and one which capitalises on the themes established inThe Mists first episode. Its a clever idea and the change in how the mist works well thematically for it. Shes head and shoulders above the rest of the cast and consistently fascinating even when saying preposterous things....

Two women battle over one man while experiencing the title inconvenience in The Layover. Theyre neither outrageous nor original enough to raise even a smirk. Its stupid, sexist, unpleasant and unfunny. The Layoveris out today (September 1) in selected theaters. Rating: 1 out of 5

Roger Cormans Fantastic Four was almost an urban legend in the pre-internet days. Ad content continues below And you absolutely should. You think its bad sorting out Marvel Studios, 20th Century Fox, Sony, and maybe Universal? Yeah, forget it. They dont appear anywhere in the materials for Josh Tranks film, but anyway, I digress. In the postBatman1989 climate, superhero movies were looking more attractive to big studios. Corman didnt directThe Fantastic Four, however....

Montgomery:Were really happy with how the vast majority of it came out. Theres a lot of really cool things that happened in this season. For me obviously bringing Lotor in is a huge thing for everyone. We were all really excited to do that....

If youre a Harry Potter fan, then you probably know that today is an important day. To put it in Rowlings words: all is not, strictly speaking, well. To put it in outdated Facebook jargon: Fandoms relationship with Harry Potter canon is complicated. Collaborative and collective storytelling. What do I mean when I talk about collaborative and collective storytelling? The idea of someone solely owning a story is a relatively modern one....

Stan and Steve become garbage men in a confusing, albeit emotionally satisfying, American Dad episode! This American Dad review contains spoilers. Theres something empowering about having turned out over 200 episodes of a television show. To get a bit of the reverse happening here helps the episode distinguish itself. Im doing a thing here! Roger confidently shouts as he wheels himself and the bumper pool table out of frame. The episode treats all of this bumper pool material with a sort of weight and elegance....

Warning: contains spoilers. John Bradley [who plays Samwell Tarly] widened his eyes. Imagine being at uni though, and beingyou! What a time youre going to have! Just go for a term! Just stalk around Freshers Week! Game Of Thrones, as he says, has been eighteen-year-old Hempstead Wrights education. Hes still around, and more crucial to the endgame than ever.
