Diablo Immortal Gameplay Trailer Shows Significant Improvements

It’s been a long time since Blizzard has updated us on the status of Diablo Immortal, but a new trailer reveals some fresh gameplay footage for the controversial mobile title. This trailer features some of the same footage showcased in the Diablo Immortal trailer that Blizzard quietly released as part of the BlizzCon 2019 celebrations, but it focuses much more on the game’s UI and some of the details of its six currently available character classes (Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard). The UI and other visual elements are arguably the biggest takeaways from this new footage. As…

The Best French TV Shows on Netflix

When acclaimed supernatural series Les Revenants/The Returned aired on Canal+ in 2012, it emerged into a fairly barren landscape for French-language scripted TV drama. The story of a remote mountain town whose dead are mysteriously revived, its stylish, cinematic look and philosophical, grown-up approach to genre television had little precedent. While the French ‘polar’ or detective series had long been a television staple, France had almost no tradition of sci-fi, horror and fantasy TV shows – or at least, none taken seriously by its understandably cinephile-and-proud cultural gatekeepers. In the last five years, coinciding with the global growth of scripted…

Fear City Trailer Shows How the Cops Bugged the New York Mafia to Life Sentences

As police forces across the country are held under tighter scrutiny for crimes against the people they swore to serve, Netflix will feature a previous victory law enforcement can brag about. The three-part series, which premieres July 22, presents the prosecution’s case for the Mafia takedown in New York City during the 1970s. “Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, the ‘Five Families’ of the New York mafia—Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Luccese—held a powerful, and seemingly insurmountable, grip on the city,” according to the official synopsis. Directed by award-winning documentarian Sam Hobkinson, Fear City: New York vs The Mafia details “the…

Peacock: NBC Streaming Service Release Date, Shows, Price, and News

The streaming service field is becoming more fractured, as more and more media companies break from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu in favor of creating their own streaming services. While Disney’s Disney+, HBO MAX, and Apple’s TV+ may be the most talked-about right now, NBCUniversal—the Comcast Corp. division that owns NBC, MSNBC, USA, and the Universal Pictures movie studio—is also planning to launch its own streaming service.

The Tax Collector Trailer Shows Shia LaBeouf Embracing His Dark Side

The Tax Collector, despite its title, is not a Hallmark channel drama about a lovelorn IRS agent, which the just-released trailer makes abundantly clear. Indeed, the film, an intense crime drama from Suicide Squad director David Ayer, is a Southern California-set tragedy with quite the ace in its hole with a maniacally unhinged performance by Shia LaBeouf. Ayer, best known for the aforementioned DCEU outing, along with Will-Smith-starring (and sequel-set) Netflix feature Bright and Brad Pitt-headlined WWII epic Fury, makes a thematic reprisal of sorts with written/directorial offering The Tax Collector, which returns him to the wheelhouse of his earlier…

Everything on HBO Max: A Guide to the Movies and TV Shows of WarnerMedia’s Streaming Service

The goal of any new streaming service worth its salt is consolidation. We’ve got a lot of major entertainment conglomerates now and each one of them needs a streaming home to consolidate its content on. With that in mind, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max is undoubtedly the biggest streaming release since Disney+ last year.  When AT&T acquired Time Warner and all its holdings in 2016, the newly-branded WarnerMedia subsidiary needed a place to house thousands of Warner movies, and other series, films, and documentaries from Warner-branded studios like CNN, TNT, TBS, The CW, Adult Swim, and much more. Enter HBO Max. Though…

Upcoming Stephen King Movies and TV Shows in Development

It’s no accident that Stephen King is one of the most heavily-adapted writers in horror movie history. From horror gross-outs and intense psychological thrillers to far-out sci-fi romps and ambitious horror epics like It Chapter One and Chapter Two, there’s a King movie or TV show for everyone. It certainly helps that King is also one of the most prolific and successful writers working today. Since 1974, with the publication of Carrie, his debut novel about a troubled girl with telekinetic powers, King has been raising the bar of weird fiction. He certainly has some of the best human villains and…

Star Trek Streaming Guide: Where to Watch All the TV Shows and Movies

Launched on September 8, 1966 — nearly 54 years ago — the NBC-TV series Star Trek was the beginning of a new age of science fiction on television and, eventually, the big screen. The first show to echo the sophistication and vision of sci-fi literature, Star Trek was only a cult hit at the time of its initial run but refused to die even after its cancellation, with the original 79 episodes running for years in syndication. More than five decades later, Star Trek encompasses eight TV series (a total of 764 episodes and counting) and 13 films, plus countless…

Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man Shows Life After Dark Universe Death

Over the last weekend, an eerie thing happened at the box office: Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions’ The Invisible Man brought the Universal Monsters legacy back with a vengeance. Over-performing with a monstrous box office bow of $29 million in the U.S. alone, the horror reimagining of the H.G. Wells novel (and James Whale’s 1933 film) more than quadrupled its $7 million budget in only three days. This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But…
