Once Upon a Time in America Is Every Bit as Great a Gangster Movie as The Godfather

This article contains Once Upon a Time in America spoilers. The Godfather is a great movie, possibly the best ever made. Its sequel, The Godfather, Part II, often follows it in the pantheon of classic cinema, some critics even believe it is the better film. Robert Evans, head of production at Paramount in the early 1970s, wanted The Godfather to be directed by an Italian American. Francis Ford Coppola was very much a last resort. The studio’s first choice was Sergio Leone, but he was getting ready to make his own gangster epic, Once Upon a Time in America. Though…

Mass Effect: Every Legendary Edition Squad Companion Ranked

Along with the promise that our decisions would have galaxy-wide consequences (which turned out to be…mostly true), one of Mass Effect‘s biggest selling points was the ability to command a ship and assemble a squad of companions that would join us on our journeys and help us fulfill our Star Trek dreams.

Resident Evil Village: How to Unlock Every Weapon

Resident Evil Village is much more action-oriented than Resident Evil 7 was, which means that you’re going to have to rely on the game’s extensive collection of guns and weapons in order to survive its toughest challenges and tallest vampires. While you could technically beat Resident Evil Village with only a knife and a prayer (at least that seems to be possible…), most players will want to turn to the game’s other unlockable and discoverable weapons at some point. Just as it is in most Resident Evil games, though, it’s easy to miss some of Village‘s best guns if you’re…

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song Was Revolutionary on Every Level

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, which turns 50 this month, is the opposite of the definition imposed on it. The 1971 film inspired the Blaxploitation genre, but Melvin Van Peebles exploited no one but himself. He got the money together, wrote the script and the music, selected the shots, aimed the camera, and starred in the film. He even did the stunts and post-production editing. Everything that came after was a reaction to his revolution. The father of Black cinema is one of the godfathers of independent filmmaking, and he turned everything upside down doing it. Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song defies…

Every Game of Thrones Spinoff and Prequel in Development

Line of Duty: Ranking Every Bent Copper By Level of Corruption, Mother of God!

“When did we stop caring about honesty and integrity?” asks Supt. Ted Hastings in the Line of Duty series six trailer. His words could be this show’s battle cry. The first series of the BBC crime thriller was inspired by the 2005 fatal shooting of Jean-Charles de Menezes, an electrician mistaken for a terrorist by a Metropolitan Police surveillance team. In the four series since, it’s drawn on other real-life failures of the law – the framing of vulnerable people for serious crimes, child abusers being protected from investigation because of their status, officers leaking to the press and accepting…

Every Star Citizen Controversy So Far

When Star Citizen was publicly revealed via Kickstarter in 2012, it felt like a dream come true for many gamers.

Coming to America: Ranking Every Eddie Murphy Character

Coming to America remains one of Eddie Murphy’s funniest comedies. As a still reliable go-to example of fish out of water humor done right, as well as a vicarious fantasy about a fairy tale like version of Africa, the film has endured for more than 30 years. In its day, (mostly white) film critics dismissed the picture as vulgar and crass, but audiences found the laughs in Murphy at the peak of his skill and popularity, particularly whenever he donned a bucket full of makeup. In the movie, Murphy primarily plays Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the fictional…

Cruella: Does Every Villain Need a Sympathetic Origin Story?

Clearly this isn’t your parents’ Cruella De Vil. This isn’t even your Cruella De Vil.
