Marvel Future Revolution Character Tier List: Who is the Best Hero in the Game?

New DVD release, , ,
As a free-to-play ARPG/MMORPG hybrid starring some of the most famous characters in the Marvel universe, Marvel Future Revolution has to be considered one of the most surprising mobile games of the year. While Marvel Future Revolution features some of the more unfortunate qualities we associate with the mobile gaming scene (quite a few cosmetic microtransactions, simplified controls, and occasionally limited gameplay) it’s actually a fairly robust RPG in its own right that might even be better than Square Enix’s Avengers game. Actually, you could argue that it comes closer to being the RPG that some fans wanted that game…

1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything’s Sound Chief Talks Revolution

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The revolution is being televised. Fifty years later. Apple TV+’s 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything highlights how musicians were in touch with what was happening around them even as they were making things happen. Marvin Gaye lays down “What’s Going On” in the first episode, and the remainder of the eight-part docuseries builds the basic tracks which became the soundtrack to a changing world. Solo ex-Beatles took to the streets and concert halls while The Rolling Stones, as a group, went deep into exile. Aretha Franklin went to the courthouse to post bail for former University of California…

1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything Review – The Revolution Is Hummable

New DVD release, , , , ,
Apple TV+’s 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything is immersive and fairly ambitious. The eight-part documentary series wants to run 33 revolutions per minute, and only comes up about a third short. It captures how musicians’ fingers were on the pulse of the day’s headlines and the laid the tracks for the nights’ rhythms. Artists sang the news, sometimes causing it, other times reacting. Rock and roll had grown up and rock musicians took on responsibilities. Rhythm and blues got loose and soul musicians took to the streets. A former University of California philosophy professor named Angela Davis was…

Super Mario 3D World Never Promised a Revolution, But Still Stands Apart 8 Years Later

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Getting a new Mario game, even one ported from a previous generation, always feels like opening a present on Christmas morning. Nintendo obviously knows this, having gone so far as to include the never-before-seen Bowser’s Fury expansion as a bonus for players already familiar with the wonders of Super Mario 3D World. And while this new side experiment may not quite be enough to encourage returning players to undertake a second playthrough, newcomers finally have the chance to play one of the most underappreciated Super Mario gems on Nintendo Switch. It’s an apt way to cap off the plumber’s 35th…

Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks Review

New DVD release, , ,
This Doctor Who review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free preview is here. It may be the start of a brand new year, but ‘Revolution of the Daleks’, an episode of Doctor Who that’ll need to tide us over for a while, is more focused on looking back and taking stock than teasing what’s ahead. As the pre-title sequence informs us, courtesy of some Big Chunky Captions that the show currently favours, not only is this episode a follow-up to the events of ‘The Timeless Child’, it’s also a sequel of sorts to the 2019 New Year’s Special, ‘Resolution’. Things pick up…

Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks Preview

New DVD release, , ,
“Hi, Chris, any chance you could pen us a spoiler-free review of the Doctor Who special?” Well… Not really, no. Not that we’d ever risk giving the game away ahead of the upcoming New Year’s Day adventure (a ‘Festive Special’, as the BBC have termed it) but the thing is, this is a very story-driven episode with lots we’d rather not spoil. To be able to examine its quality in any meaningful way means diving into the details – in particular, decisions certain characters make and how well the episode delivers on its premise, all of which we’ll obviously be…

Doctor Who: John Barrowman to Return in Revolution of the Daleks

New DVD release, , , ,
Captain Jack’s last Doctor Who appearance was a surprise series 12 cameo in ‘The Fugitive of the Judoon’ (not the biggest surprise that episode had in store, it turned out…). He showed up, kissed Graham on the lips, alluded to the Doctor and her companions having an orgy, and issued a life-or-death warning. All regular Captain Jack stuff. He also said that he’d be seeing the Doctor again. “Maybe not soon, but when she needs me. I’ll be there.” He wasn’t lying. The BBC has confirmed that Jack will be making good on his promise with a guest role in…

Doctor Who Special: Revolution of the Daleks First-Look Pictures

New DVD release, , , , ,
Series 13 may be a long way off yet (the BBC is still hopeful for a late 2021 air date, and hoping for filming to take place before the end of 2020, Covid-19 chaos notwithstanding), but it’s not long until Doctor Who will be back on our screens. As teased at the very end of the series 12 finale, “The Timeless Children,” the next episode will be one-off special “Revolution of the Daleks”, which is due to air over the upcoming festive period.  Released as part of this year’s online New York Comic-Con panel, see below for a couple of first-look images…

Enola Holmes Review: Millie Bobby Brown’s Revolution Lacks Revelation

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Sherlock… Mycroft… and Enola! The Holmes siblings—we’re looking for a mind at work! It is easy to insert the names of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective and his brother—and their baby sister, Nancy Springer’s relatively recent creation—to the tune of “The Schuyler Sisters” from Hamilton. It’s just the sort of playful, futzing-with-lore vibe given off by Enola Holmes, Netflix’s feminist riff on Doyle’s canon. But unlike Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical, the Netflix movie won’t stick in your memory beyond the credits. Still, it’s diverting fun with a valuable message for both its Victorian era women and contemporary young adult viewers.…

Judas and the Black Messiah Trailer Promises Revolution

New DVD release, , , , ,
During the late 1960s, Fred Hampton was one of the biggest voices in the American Black Panther Party where he preached revolutionary socialism and founded the Rainbow Coalition. He was also shot repeatedly in the head at point blank range by members of the Chicago Police Department in 1969. In 2021, director Shaka King looks to tell Hampton’s story, and that of the man who betrayed him, in visceral detail. That at least appears to be the compelling setup of Judas and the Black Messiah, a new film which just dropped the riveting trailer below. As a film produced by…
