It has been eight long years since the release of the last James Bond game. If you’re wondering why it feels like it’s been even longer than that, it’s probably because 2012’s 007 Legends was a poor attempt at not only recapturing the glory days of Bond himself (its gimmick was that you got to play as every major film version of Bond) but the glory days of Bond video games....
While we’ve previously talked about how the PS5 vs. Xbox Series X war likely won’t be won through console sales alone, it’s inevitable that people will want to know which console is outselling the other at any given time. To save you a lot of drama, we don’t know the full sales figures for either console as of yet. Nintendo recently revealed that they’ve sold 735,000 Switch and Switch Lite units in the US in October, but Sony and Microsoft are staying quiet at the moment in terms of each next-gen console’s total sales so far....
In-laws are the worst, right? It certainly will be one of several takeaways Grace (Samara Weaving) carries from her brief marriage into the Le Domas brood. While the actual contract between her and Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien) turned out to be a short one, it had memories that’ll last a lifetime. Just think how nice it’ll be to reflect on that time he revealed to her that his family practices ritualistic sacrifice to the Dark One, although they call him “Mr....
While Spider-Man: Far From Home saw Peter Parker deal with the loss of Tony and grapple with potentially becoming the “next Iron Man,” there’s another young hero in the Marvel universe that is even better positioned to take over the mantle – Riri Williams a.k.a Ironheart. Introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the MCU’s Riri Williams is played by Dominique Thorne, a young actor whose previous work includes Judas and the Black Messiah and If Beale Street Could Talk....
‘Oh, it brings me so much joy. It’s like The Witness for the Prosecution’s Romaine screaming in court ‘You fucking men! You fucking men!’ and then hissing at Mayhew like a cat!’ One of Phelps’ friends downloaded Andrea Riseborough’s hiss in that scene to use as her text message alert. ‘I get such a thrill out of it.’ Phelps’ screenwriting is built on thrill. There’s the all-out thrill of the story she’s telling plus the tiny power-jolts of thrill she injects into dialogue....
It’s slightly odd to behold these 33 discs, squeezed into eight Blu-ray cases, snuggled up in a lovely box, with a little booklet nestled in. So much time has passed since the world watched that finale and the online discourse erupted with the fiery ferocity of Cersei’s attack on the Sept Of Baelor. With so much vocal negativity surrounding season eight, it feels as if Game Of Thrones has ended up in the big pop-culture bin of shows that nobody talks about anymore (unless they’re taking the mick)....
Written by Vinay Patel and directed by Jamie Childs, “Demons of the Punjab” sees the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Graham (Bradley Walsh) traveling back to 1947 Punjab, in the hours leading up to the Partition of India, the violent division of British India into two states: India and Pakistan. The trip is instigated by Yaz, who has just received a watch from her grandmother Umbreen (Leena Dhingra), and wants to know the story of how it was broken....
Shameless Season 9 Episode 6 Goodbye, Ian Gallagher. The title of the episode might be about the inherent beauty of everyone—including presumably (or especially) Ian. But ever since it was announced earlier this week that tonight was for all intents and purposes Cameron Monaghan’s last episode of Shameless, the hour has become the expected, and dreaded, farewell to who is many viewers’ favorite Gallagher. Yet it didn’t play that way. In fact, if Monaghan had not made the announcement himself beforehand, I suspect many would have treated it like the seasons where Carl went off to juvenile hall or boot camp mid-season (“Oh Monaghan must have some other project so is leaving early, see you next year!...
Snowpiercer Season 2 Episode 10 For the fifth time in the history of the show, the titular train of Snowpiercer finds itself under new ownership. Wilford built the thing, and then Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) stole it. She ran it successfully for 7 years, until it was taken over by Layton (Daveed Diggs). Layton’s tenure was not nearly as successful, because a returning Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) hooked up to the tail end of Snowpiercer and took the thing back over, sending Layton and Ruth (Alison Wright) to the compost heap for their troubles....
During the series’ appearance at the socially-distanced 2020 New York Comic Con, TNT announced a release date for Snowpiercer season 2…and the network is probably hoping that the political and social landscape will be a little more chill when the show arrives this time around. Snowpiercer’s second season will launch on Monday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. ET on TNT. Additionally, all 10 episodes of the show’s first season will be available to stream on HBO Max on Jan....
It’s finally here. We truly never thought it would arrive for awhile. But sure enough, the first Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer has arrived. And just as you might have expected from the veil of secrecy that surrounded it, it would appear that at least SOME of the crazy multiversal rumors about this movie are true. From its MCU multiverse shattering central concept to the presence of both Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus (with hints of even more characters yet to be revealed), Spider-Man: No Way Home looks like the biggest Marvel movie since Avengers: Endgame, and seems likely to set up future MCU Phase 4 projects, most notably Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness....
Forgive the overwrought intro, but something exciting just happened in the colorful world of SpongeBob SquarePants. Today, in a Den of Geek-hosted panel at New York Comic Con, Nickelodeon teased more about SpongeBob SquarePants Presents The Tidal Zone: the first-ever SpongeBob Universe (yes, that’s an official Nickelodeon term) crossover special. Premiering Friday, Nov. 25 on Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants Presents The Tidal Zone is a one-hour special that will combine the universes of three separate SpongeBob shows: the original SpongeBob SquarePants, prequel Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, and spinoff The Patrick Star Show....
Al Ewing’s new Guardians of the Galaxy #9 story ‘I Shall Make You a Star-Lord’ reveals that Quill has survived after apparently being killed during an explosion back in issue #2, but has been catapulted into a parallel reality. He then meets two blue-skinned humanoid companions there called Aradia and Mors, and eventually enters into a relationship with both of them that lasts for over a hundred years. Unfortunately, Quill unwittingly stole power from The Gods of New Olympus to survive the aforementioned explosion, and this forces him to return to his own reality, which means saying goodbye to his long-time loves....
Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 8 From the very beginning, Star Trek: Discovery has loved putting Michael Burnham in an impossible situation, and making her choose. This isn’t a bad narrative habit, especially for a show as thematically-driven as Star Trek, but some Kobayashi Maru scenarios are more interesting than others and, some, well… some are just plain clunky. This was the case in “The Sanctuary,” which saw not only Michael but the whole Discovery crew sent to Book’s home planet, Kwejian, to strictly observe, Emerald Chain leader Oysraa show up to bully the trance worm-loving planet....
Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 9 The Mirror Universe works best when we know the characters and world it warps well. The fascinations of visiting the Mirror Universe often come in observing the characters (and actors) we know and love exhibit wildly different behavior (and looks)—for example, the franchise’s original visit to the Mirror Universe came in Season 2 of The Original Series, only after we had properly gotten use to a Spock without facial hair....
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 1 As the Star Trek franchise has expanded in recent years, so has the debate about what these series are supposed to be and do. What makes a show quintessentially Star Trek? What kinds of stories are these properties meant to tell? After all, in the year 2022, the world seems more divided than ever before, reeling from the lingering effects of a global pandemic, rising inflation, and a political environment that seems targeted to anger the worst in us, rather than exhort us to be our best....
Leading the charge back to television for the Star Trek franchise, and paving the way for three further series to follow, Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s seven seasons had some very high points, and a couple of very low ones (that some would simply call “Season 1….”, not that I’m one of them.) These are the top 25 “must-watch” episodes, not necessarily the top 25 for quality, or indeed my 25 favorites, but the 25 stories that give you the best flavor of the series and its relatively unplanned story arcs....
Obi-Wan Kenobi not only brings back two of the most important characters from the Original Trilogy, it’s also an embarrassment of riches for Prequel Trilogy fans who have longed to see the franchise pay tribute to the Star Wars galaxy of the early 2000s. At last, we have Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen sharing the screen once again, this time trading lightsaber blows on opposite sides of the battlefield. In episode 3, the Jedi Master and Sith Lord finally come face to face after 10 years, and the reunion is anything but heartwarming....
In the two-part finale of The Bad Batch, the Kaminoan cloning labs go down in fire and water. With no home left to lose, the clones scramble for survival. Alongside them is Crosshair, formerly eager to turn them over to the Empire. His decision provides the main emotional push of an episode that also shows the wreckage of an era.Take a look at all the Star Wars facts and references we spotted in this episode …...
As well as introducing new stories and characters to the franchise, The High Republic also opens up a new era of the universe for creators to explore. The new initiative will allow the Expanded Universe and the current movie and TV projects to work in harmony without overlapping, according to StarWars.com. A promo for The High Republic also shows that the conception of this new era was very creator-driven, with a story group made up of veteran Star Wars writers, artists (Ian McCaig!...
