Nancy Drew Season 2 Episode 9 Review: The Bargain of the Blood Shroud

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Season 2, Episode 9 Nancy Drew brings back the Bobbsey Twins to tell one of its darkest stories to date in “The Bargain of the Blood Shroud,” an hour that sees Gil Bobbsey steal the magical artifact that resurrected George and threaten to use it again even though he is well aware that to do so will certainly mean her death. Truly, it’s a bit upsetting that Gil Bobbsey – another fictional staple of my childhood – is actually such a monster in this episode that he would willingly sacrifice George’s life…

Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan Is a Netflix Docu-Drama Written in Blood and Ink

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan, a new historical documentary series on Netflix, is being billed as a “real-life Game of Thrones” but it’s much more than that. This is actual history, which is far more compelling than fantasy because it really transpired. “It is like something out of a movie,” says showrunner Matt Booi. “If you wrote this down, no one would believe it. And if you saw it, I think you’d say, ‘Nah.’ But it happened.”  According to Booi, the show covers one of the most violent periods in Japanese history. The six-part series begins in 1551 with…

A Discovery of Witches Season 2 Episode 4 Review: Blood Rage

New DVD release, , , , ,
Warning: this A Discovery of Witches review contains spoilers For a show about vampires, A Discovery of Witches is relatively light on blood and gore. Its undead creatures are civilised types, more likely to be found sipping a 1982 Latour than fang-deep in a carotid artery.  That all changed this week, as season two took a 21st century detour with a police thriller slant. A mystery vamp has been going to town on warm-bloods, and, hope Domenico and Gerbert, it could spell the end for the de Clermont dynasty.  It made a refreshing change to spend time in the here and now instead…

Why Flesh and Blood Is A Must-Play Trading Card Game

New DVD release, ,
Presented by: Despite the name, Flesh and Blood is a relatively simple TCG that won’t leave you covered in cuts and bruises—not literally, anyway. Hailing from Legendary Story Studios in New Zealand, the game involves pitting your hero against your opponent’s in a back-of-forth game of might and magic, using equipment, abilities, and some plain old wits to get the upper hand and achieve victory. It’s a quick game that values making fast moves and keeping everyone light on their feet until someone reigns supreme. The basic format of standard play is as follows: you have a hero and a…

Blood of Zeus Season 2: What to Expect

New DVD release, ,
Netflix has taken up more of an interest in animated series for mature audiences and Blood of Zeus is one of the most enjoyable results. The epic show comes from Charley and Vlas Parlapanides and it explores a “lost chapter” of Greek mythology where the bastard child of Zeus, Heron, learns about his roots and tries to embrace his birthright as a hero.  Blood of Zeus is a staggering achievement in terms of its chaotic animation and fight choreography as well as its take on the subject matter. The show’s first season tells a strong story that sees Heron and…

Warrior Season 2 Episode 4 Review: If You Don’t See Blood, You Didn’t Come to Play

New DVD release, , , ,
This Warrior review contains spoilers. Warrior Season 2 Episode 4 The title of this episode comes from Sophie’s (Celine Buckens) date. Spencer (Russell Crous) comes from the upper class and he’s trying to court Sophie in an upper-class way, but she’s is having none of that. She brings him to the Banshee to slam some drinks, and coyly asks him about his athleticism. Spencer says he plays rugby and Sophie feigns being impressed by the roughness of the sport, egging him to say, “If you don’t see blood, you didn’t come to play.” Then she takes him to the back-alley…

Mortal Kombat 11’s Rambo Pays Homage to Your Favorite First Blood Movie Moments

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Back in 2011, Mortal Kombat 9’s DLC run came to an end with the first downloadable guest character in the franchise’s history, the classic slasher Freddy Krueger. Many other famous movie characters have followed suit, including Leatherface, Predator, the Xenomorph from Alien, RoboCop, and the Terminator. Now it’s John Rambo’s turn. The First Blood protagonist will hit Mortal Kombat 11 alongside Rain and Mileena. While we thought Rambo’s teaser announcement trailer from earlier this month would be all we’d see of the action hero in the game, we’ve learned that NOTHING IS OVER! NOTHING! YOU DON’T JUST TURN IT OFF!…

Blood of Zeus Review (Spoiler-Free)

New DVD release, ,
This Blood of Zeus review contains no spoilers and is based on all eight episodes. Many properties across all media look to Greek mythology for story inspiration. It’s territory that’s been explored from nearly every angle at this point. What makes Blood of Zeus feel exciting rather than regressive is that it presupposes that its story is a lost chapter of Greek mythology. It tells the saga of Heron, a warrior who learns that he’s a rejected offspring of Zeus and must become ready to confront his past in an effort to change everyone else’s future. Heron’s original story allows…

Books of Blood Review: A Bloody Bore

New DVD release, , ,
Clive Barker’s horror is immediately recognizable. One of the most influential Gothic voices of the 1980s and ‘90s, his stories on the page and screen mingle body horror with kinky fatalism: pleasure and pain sprinkled with an undercurrent of happy self-annihilation. He wrote and directed the exceptionally perverse Hellraiser, and with his literary Books of Blood collection of horror short stories, he penned the origins for future movie cult classics like Candyman—as well as the less glowing adaptations of The Midnight Meat Train and Rawhide Rex. I’d like to say Brannon Braga’s Hulu adaptation of several of those Books of…

Vampires vs. The Bronx Trailer Keeps Blood Off the Streets

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Ever wonder what effect a crosstown might have on vampires? Netflix’s upcoming horror comedy is an educational look at an urban problem. There’s a lot of things happening in the neighborhood right now. Keep your eyes open. That may sound vague, but the new Vampires vs. the Bronx trailer is about a silent threat: gentrification. And it’s not just any old white people buying up property in the Boogie Down Bronx; it’s ancient old people who stay that way by sucking the blood out of locals while draining the community of anything special. Have you noticed those missing kids’ posters?…

The 100 Season 7 episode 13 Review: Blood Giant

New DVD release, , , ,
This THE 100 review contains spoilers The 100 Season 7 Episode 13 Is Bellamy Blake really dead this time? It feels more accurate to say that Disciple Blake is dead. Bellamy Blake never made it back from that other planet. And in a way, Bellamy Blake never made it out of season 6. If The 100 is viewed as Clarke Griffin’s story – it’s easy to, considering she gets the narration, opened the show, and is one of a dwindling number of characters to appear in every episode – then Bellamy’s death is a gutting blow, but a strategic choice, from storytelling…

I Didn’t Know It Was Blood Review: One Survivor’s Ordeal Encapsulates a Killer’s M.O.

New DVD release, , , , ,
Investigation Discovery is premiering all new specials every night for five days during Serial Killer Week. The majority of them are similar in format to many true crime documentaries. But there is a recurring theme among these killers. No one pegged them for psychopathic or sociopathic tormentors in day to day life. They all could have been the guy next door, down the block, or in the next room. That is, until they were trying to escape a room. That’s how “I Didn’t Know It Was Blood,” a special extended 90-minute episode of the series Evil Lives Here, opens. The…
