10 Best Games to Play After Deathloop

Arkane Studio’s Deathloop is one of the year’s best games as well as one of the studio’s most complete, fascinating, and unmissable titles yet. Of course, it’s also a relatively short game that many will be able to beat after about 15 hours of losing themselves in it. So if you’ve just beaten Deathloop (or if you haven’t had a chance to play it yet due to the game’s PS5 and PC exclusivity), you may be wondering what comes next. Well, it thankfully turns out that there is an elite selection of games out there which either share quite a…

PlayStation Wins E3 2021 Three Months After the Show Ends

While the PlayStation team never really referred to their recent September showcase as their E3 2021 presentation, the buzz surrounding the event suggested that it was going to essentially be the show that Sony would have put on if they didn’t choose to stop hosting traditional E3 conferences and if the Covid-19 pandemic didn’t likely help wreck whatever presentation plans they may have had for June. In any case, PlayStation finally got to have their big 2021 presentation, and it wasn’t just an incredible show in its own right; it was arguably the show that “won” E3 2021 nearly three…

Star Wars: Major Solo Character Returns to Save Han from Boba Fett After Empire Strikes Back

This Star Wars article contains spoilers for War of the Bounty Hunters. Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters kicked off last month with the untold story of Boba Fett’s journey back to Jabba’s Palace after the events of The Empire Strikes Back. Han Solo is still frozen in carbonite on the Slave I, but when the carbonite matrix becomes unstable (which could turn our beloved smuggler into “goo”), Fett is forced to make an emergency stop to Nar Shaddaa, the infamous “Smuggler’s Moon” located smack in the middle of Hutt space. As you can imagine, things only get more…

Michael B. Jordan’s Upcoming Movies: What’s Next After Without Remorse

It has been such a pleasure watching Michael B. Jordan evolve onscreen. From his breakout as Wallace, the emotional center of the first season of The Wire, to Vince Howard, the anchor of the latter seasons of Friday Night Lights, on to film projects that showcased his true leading man ability like Creed and Fruitvale Station, Jordan has always projected both naturalism and star power. He’s been compared to Denzel Washington by The Hollywood Reporter, listed as a “rising young star” in just about every media trade publication, and has even been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Yet despite this,…

Link Tank: Shrek and Its Impact on Animation After 20 Years

This week marks the 20th anniversary of Shrek, the movie that changed animation. Let’s look at the history of this DreamWorks masterpiece. “The history of animation can be divided into two eras: before Shrek, and after Shrek. Today, it’s difficult to imagine Shrek as anything but an instant hit. After all, the subject of the 1990 children’s book was always destined for Hollywood stardom, says producer and DreamWorks founder John H. Williams.” Read more at Inverse. The actors of Mortal Kombat talk the power of a diverse cast and how that enhances the movie. “Mortal Kombat will arrive in theaters…

Link Tank: Saying Goodbye to Superstore After Six Underrated Seasons

Let us say farewell to Superstore, arguably one of the most underrated sitcoms in recent years. “From its premiere in 2015, Superstore never seemed to get the kind of attention it deserved, from audiences or critics. That made every season it was renewed feel like a gift. The show was just as funny as others in its league (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks & Rec, and the like), but maybe a bit more subdued.” Read more at The Mary Sue.

WB Confirms ‘No Ayer Cut’ of Suicide Squad After Justice League

A few months ago, we learned that Warner Bros. executives considered Zack Snyder’s Justice League to be a cul-de-sac. Which is to say, it’s a road to nowhere that will leave the DC Extended Universe exactly where it started. That opinion apparently is shared throughout WarnerMedia despite the apparent success of the newly released Snyder Cut. In fact, WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff is ready to stop now any possible rumors about director David Ayer getting to oversee his own cut of 2016’s Suicide Squad. “We won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut,” Sarnoff said flatly and directly when Variety broached the…

Best Corrupt Cop Movies to Watch After Training Day

Training Day is one of the archetypal crime dramas of its time. It features a classic standoff between a young, fresh-off-the-street rookie police officer named Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) and his veteran partner Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). The older cop is ostensibly evaluating his young partner, but in actuality he’s breaking Jake hm down and trying to corrupt him–just as Alonzo himself, one of the great screen monsters of the past 20 years, is corrupt beyond all redemption. Here is a supposed officer of the law who acts more like a crime boss, ruling over his neighborhood with an iron…

After The Dark Knight on Netflix, Where Can You Stream The Dark Knight Rises?

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is arguably the best Batman movie ever made, so it’s good news that it’s back on Netflix this month, along with Batman Begins, the film that kicked off this critically-acclaimed trilogy. And once you’ve reached the credits of Nolan’s second outing with the Caped Crusader, you’ll undoubtedly want to jump to the trilogy-closer, The Dark Knight Rises, which puts Batman back in the crosshairs of Ra’s al Ghul’s League of Shadows, this time led by the seemingly invincible Bane (played with relish by Tom Hardy). The good news is that, despite what some might say,…

Raya and the Last Dragon Star Kelly Marie Tran Talks Moving On After Star Wars

One of the darkest stains on the history of Star Wars, Disney, and fandom in general was the disgraceful treatment of Kelly Marie Tran, who played Resistance mechanic Rose Tico in 2017’s The Last Jedi and 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. Starting almost immediately after she was cast and continuing through the release of The Last Jedi, Tran was the subject of hideous online abuse and harassment from a toxic subsection of alleged Star Wars “fans.” The constant attacks ultimately drove Tran off social media as members of the Star Wars cast and crew — as well as other actors…

Spider-Man 3: Tom Holland ‘Chomping At The Bit’ To Get Back to Work After Injury

Tom Holland has the day off. The young British actor is currently shooting his third yet-to-be-officially titled Spider-Man movie when he quickly informs us during our chat that he has injured his knee while shooting a scene for the picture. Clearly it’s not the ideal start of his work week. “I’ve had the last two days off, and I’ve got tomorrow off as well,” he says casually. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back to work and back on set. But the film’s going really well.” Spider-Man 3 (as everyone’s calling it until we get a real title) is…

Zack Snyder Wanted to Make a Batman vs. Joker Movie After Justice League

What’s more controversial? Zack Snyder’s vision of the DC Universe as expressed in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and which he will finally complete with the release of “The Snyder Cut” of Justice League in March…or Jared Leto’s tattooed-and-grilled gangster interpretation of the Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad? Don’t answer that, we’re not looking to start that fight yet again. And yet, the debate rages on. And it’s a debate that will be once again opened up when Zack Snyder’s Justice League arrives on HBO Max in March. Snyder has filmed brand new footage…
