50 Best Fighting Game Final Bosses from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When it isn’t about rage-quitting against your best buddy sitting next to you on the couch, or some guy playing against you across the country, fighting games are all about beating the arcade mode. Doing so means defeating the pesky final boss. We’ve fought so many final bosses over the last 30+ years. Whether they’re godly megalomaniacs or bloodthirsty loners out to prove they’re the best, there are pleny of cheap-ass villains standing in the way of character-specific epilogue cutscenes.

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s a very thin line to walk between comedy and horror. Yet filmmaker Mary Harron skipped over it so perfectly with American Psycho that, 20 years later, people are still talking about it. Indeed, we recently unpacked the subversive feminism Harron brought to Patrick Bateman, a yuppie serial killer in Armani suits as realized by author Bret Easton Ellis, and Harron herself is now making the press rounds to talk about the film—including how she almost didn’t make it when Lionsgate fired her and her early choice for Bateman: Christian Bale. As hard as it is to imagine now, there…
