Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons a Blow to Left-Handed Link Fans

New DVD release, , ,
While The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for Nintendo Switch was arguably the biggest game revealed during Nintendo’s recent Direct presentation, it’s hardly a surprise that the internet is losing its collective mind over the also recently revealed Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons. I mean, just look at them: The colors alone make these controllers a winner, but the real joy they inspire comes from the fact that they’re modeled after Link’s most famous pieces of equipment. The right Joy-Con is designed to resemble the Master Sword while the left sports a design similar to the one typically…

Can The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword be Saved by the Switch?

New DVD release, , , , ,
A few years ago, I asked Zelda fans to forgive Skyward Sword for its shortcomings and find a little room to love some of the things that the game did so well. I stand by that plea, but the truth of the matter is that I’ve always found it difficult to defend the title against a legion of gamers who consider Skyward Sword to be unplayable due to the prevalence of the project’s controversial motion controls. Some of the problems with Skyward Sword‘s motion controls come down to technical and design flaws that Nintendo really should have done a better…

Crazy Samurai: 400 vs. 1: The Most Epic Sword Fight Ever Filmed

New DVD release, , , ,
When it comes to action choreography, any long take sequence that lasts more than a few minutes is an achievement. Stunts and fights are risky. They can even be deadly. The longer the scene, the more chances of an accident. But a 77-minute one-er? That’s just crazy.  Talented filmmakers strut their stuff because the technical skill behind a good one-er demands next-level directorial and choreographic mastery. Setting up a long take scene is exponentially more challenging than a normal scene with cuts. For example, the short one-er that opens Lindsay Vonn’s new Amazon Prime reality game show series The Pack…

WandaVision Episode 4: Is SWORD Hiding MCU Fantastic Four Clues?

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The Fantastic Four will finally come to the MCU in the next few years, with a feature film directed by Jon Watts. While we don’t expect the FF to make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut until roughly 2023 or so (although 2024 might be more appropriate), there’s nothing stopping Kevin Feige and company from laying the groundwork for the MCU Fantastic Four with their current projects. And specifically, we think WandaVision episode 4 might be the first real indication of plans for Marvel’s First Family. Yes, WandaVision has enough going on with its own weird…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 14 Review: The Split Sword of Swanstantine!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. I had a grin on my face from the start of this DuckTales episode to the end. The premise of this outing was a winner from the jump; the family all-splitting up to find three different pieces of the titular split sword of swanstantine.  It’s a simple “find the macguffin” story that could have been routine but DuckTales has its characters to fall back on. The team behind the show have done so much work developing these characters over the last three seasons that simply watching them in these “mini-ventures” was a pure delight.  Webby and Dewey was…

Sword of Trust

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
Mel (Marc Maron) is a cantankerous pawnshop owner in Alabama who spends most of his time swindling customers while trying and failing to get his man-child employee Nathaniel (Jon Bass) to do any work. When Cynthia (Jillian Bell) and her wife Mary (Michaela Watkins) try to hawk a Civil War-era sword inherited from Cynthia?s recently deceased grandfather, he tries to get the better of them. The sword, however, comes with a convoluted report from Cynthia?s grandfather claiming the relic to be proof the South actually won the war. It isn?t long before the coveted ?prover item? draws the attention of…
