How Will Shadow and Bone Incorporate Six of Crows?

New DVD releasecrows, incorporate, shadow

Shadow and Bone, the Netflix series adapted from Leigh Bardugo’s gorgeous Grishaverse series, isn’t just a straight adaptation of the book that shares its name. In addition to the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the series will also be adapting Six of Crows, a duology set in the same world. It’s an ambitious choice, given that Six of Crows takes place after the events of Shadow and Bone, but it’s a smart one. The addictive heist drama of Six of Crows brings a different and complementary energy to the dark, fantastical world readers are introduced to in Shadow and Bone. If…

Link Tank: Is Shadow in the Cloud Worth Watching?

New DVD releasecloud, shadow, watching, worth

Shadow in the Cloud, directed by Roseanne Liang and starring Chloë Grace Moretz, is a surprisingly complex movie for its premise. “For a movie about a woman fighting a giant creature on an airplane during World War II, Shadow in the Cloud is surprisingly complex. It’s basically two movies; one is a claustrophobic, paranoid thriller with a character in a single location under intense distress, the second a swashbuckling adventure film that gives Indiana Jones and Spider-Man a run for their money.” Read more at Gizmodo. Reports of The Mandalorian Season 3 suggest that we may see more of Pedro…

When asked about the evolution of American Gods from Shadow and Wednesday on the road to the more hidebound setting of Lakeside, Ricky Whittle makes no secret of his feelings about American Gods season 3’s bold change in scenery. “This is my favorite part of the book. I’ve always been looking forward to doing this,” Whittle tells Den of Geek. In a sense, if you are hiding from the world, there is no better place to do it than Lakeside, which is as far out in the middle of nowhere as can be managed by someone in the modern world.…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 6 Review – Shadow Puppets

New DVD releasebeyond, episode, puppets, review, shadow, walking, world

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 6 Perhaps I’m just projecting the character of Abraham onto the actor, but as a director, Michael Cudlitz seems to be able to have fun with his material, no matter how dark. Throughout “Shadow Puppets,” there are a lot of fun little touches and moments to lighten things up and serve as an effective tension break during some of the more nervous moments. Towards the end of the episode, as Iris is skulking into an abandoned department store, there are two back-to-back scares, one a…

Shadow in the Cloud Review: Chloë Grace Moretz Faces World War II Gremlins

New DVD releasechloe, cloud, faces, grace, moretz, review, shadow

During the Second World War, the Army Air Force Corps referred to B-17 bombers as “Flying Fortresses.” Such words conjure an image of invincibility and safety. But for the men and women who occupied that space it was anything but comforting. In its best moments, Roseanne Liang’s Shadow in the Cloud remembers this. As a new wild horror movie made possible in part by the New Zealand Film Commission, this chiller at 20,000 feet is never scarier than when Chloë Grace Moretz’s officer is strapped into a lower ball turret, with only a view straight down to keep her company.…
