At the same time, a young man named Miguel (David Illescas) has returned to Mexico after being deported from the U.S., and eventually his path converges with Magdalena’s.Release Date: Jan 22, 2021

Dragon Age 4 Trailer Features the Return of Solas

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s been a little while since we’ve gotten an update on the next Dragon Age game, but BioWare was good enough to check in at The Game Awards 2020 with this teaser trailer for the studio’s next RPG: In true Dragon Age fashion (at least as far as this project is concerned) the trailer doesn’t give us much to work with. Don’t you just love the endless teasing of a high-profile game? Doesn’t that always justify the drawn-out hype rather than lead to titles that fail to live up to overblown expectations or the burdens of years worth of anticipation?…

Xbox Series X vs. PS5: Which Features Set Each Console Apart?

New DVD release, , , ,
Xbox Series X vs. PS5 will be a console war unlike any other. At a time when console game libraries are becoming more homogenous and we look towards more than just console sales to determine success in this industry, you may think that the decision to buy one console over another really just comes down to a few exclusive titles and personal preferences. Even the specs of the two consoles appear to be fairly similar at a glance: However, a closer look at both consoles reveals just how different these machines truly are. Granted, neither the Xbox Series X nor…

Final Fantasy 16 Already Features Some of the Franchise’s Best Clichés

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Final Fantasy 16 team released a small preview of the game’s world, protagonists, and plot, and it is loaded with many of the clichés that define the Final Fantasy series nearly 33 years after its debut. It’s understandable if your mind goes to a negative place when you hear the word “cliché.” The word is most frequently used in a derogatory fashion (sometimes rightfully so), but when you’re talking about a series as old and celebrated as Final Fantasy, thoseclichés become more like traditions. They’re these little plot beats we dance to every time they come up because they…

AFI Fest 2020 Features Some of the Year’s Best Films

New DVD release,
This year, like just about every other film festival that managed to put on some kind of show in 2020, the 34th annual AFI Fest went nearly all-virtual. The yearly American Film Institute event, which usually combines major studio and independent releases, bypassed its usual eight-day blitz at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre complex in Hollywood for an online simulacrum that did not perhaps offer up the same glittering premieres and major studio contenders as in past years, but still managed to offer up a number of superb offerings. “Attending” a film festival from one’s desk or couch can be…

PlayStation 5: Best Features of the DualSense Controller

New DVD release, , ,
The PlayStation 5 has already made its way into the wild as media members, celebrities, and other industry figures already have their hands on the next-gen console and its DualSense controller. Actually, it’s the DualSense controller that’s making the biggest impression so far. While early PS5 owners only have access to one next-gen title at the moment (built-in platformer Astro’s Playroom), that game effectively serves as a showcase for both the abilities of the PS5 console and the many ways that the console will be defined by the abilities of its controller. That may sound sensationalist, but a quick rundown…

The New Mutants DVD/Blu-ray Release Date and Special Features

New DVD release, , ,
The New Mutants will soon stream and spin at homes in the very-near future. While many speculated that this news would precede the recent move by studios Fox and Disney to release the film at theaters, it does signal the end of an era—especially for those of us who have spent the past 3+ years covering it—since the film will likely go down in history as having faced one of the hardest roads to a release, perhaps ever. 20th Century Fox will, at long last, release The New Mutants on Digital HD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, November 17. The Marvel…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Rockstar has released the first details for the next major GTA Online update: San Andreas Prix Week. “Speed is a vice like any other: it’s expensive, exclusive and some people die in pursuit of it; especially when we’re talking about the kind of eye-watering speed that turns a car into a screaming blur on a racetrack,” reads a description of the upcoming update. “Slide behind the wheel in any of the Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races and earn Triple GTA$ and RP all week long, including on these nine new tracks unveiled as part of the Los Santos Summer Special.”…

Control: AWE Expansion Trailer Features the Return of Alan Wake

New DVD release, , , ,
It appears that Alan Wake will finally return in Control‘s upcoming DLC expansion, AWE. A new trailer for AWE is light on details, but it opens with the sound of typewriter followed by Alan Wake’s voice warning us to “stay in the light.” After a few cinematic flashes of some mostly industrial settings, we’re treated to a few snippets of gameplay from the upcoming DLC. While Alan Wake does not appear as a playable character during those gameplay segments, we do catch a brief glimpse of him during the trailer’s closing moments. Interestingly, he’s shown in black and white during…

Utopia Trailer Features John Cusack and Rainn Wilson

New DVD release, , , , ,
Putting aside for a moment the premise of Amazon Prime Video’s new original series, Utopia, the highlight of the teaser trailer that dropped during the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel was the appearance of 80s-film everyman John Cusack alongside Rainn Wilson of The Office and Star Trek: Discovery. What a combination! Add to that the fact that the series comes from best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter Gillian Flynn of Gone Girl and Sharp Objects fame, and it’s clear that Utopia has an incredible pedigree right off the bat. Utopia is inspired by the British series of the same name and is described…

New DVD release, , , ,
Goonies never say die, and neither do serious physical media collectors, so it’s about time that Richard Donner’s 1985 kids adventure classic got the 4K treatment. Indeed, a limited edition 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray box set is on the way (along with a more modest single release) and we’ve got all the details you need to decide whether this is an essential purchase or not. Regardless, it’s almost certainly time to update your Betamax copy. This is the part of the article where I tell you what The Goonies is about and a little history on the film. Feel…
