New World’s Players Are the Best and Worst Thing About the Game

New DVD release, , , ,
New World‘s recent open beta proved to be a tremendous success with some reports suggesting that the MMO attracted over 140,000 concurrent Steam players. While it remains to be seen how many of those players will purchase and ultimately play the game when it’s released on September 28, it certainly does feel like this Amazon Game Studios project has a fantastic chance of at least launching with a sizeable player base eager to dive into what figures to be one of the most fascinating upcoming entries into a suddenly resurging genre. Interestingly, though, that may prove to be both a…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 Review: Save the Devil, Save the World

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 “This is the worst idea the doctor has ever had.” It’s the rare episode of Lucifer that moves outside its comfort zone of dead bodies, shady suspects, and puzzling evidence, but “Save the Devil, Save the World” does just that as it hones in on a much bigger problem. The end of the world appears nigh, and no one knows why.  While the introspective offering ventures into clip-show territory, the past scenes never feel obtrusive, nor do they stand in the way of fresh, new material. It’s fascinating to learn…

Could The Walking Dead: World Beyond Jadis Casting Set Up the Rick Grimes Movies?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Anne a.k.a. Jadis (Polly McIntosh) has come a long way on The Walking Dead. First introduced as a quite literal garbage person in The Walking Dead season 7, Jadis received the honor of being the character that brought Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to safety so that he could live another day…and get his own spinoff movie franchise. Now the character is on to big things once again. AMC announced today that actress Polly McIntosh will return to the franchise and reprise her role as Jadis in The Walking Dead: World Beyond season 2. They also released a new trailer with…

How Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Inclusiveness Could Conquer the World

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Looking at Destin Daniel Cretton’s filmography, he would appear to be an unlikely candidate to helm a Marvel film, especially one as pivotal as the first fresh installment of MCU Phase 4. Cretton has directed five feature films previously, all of which are real-life dramas, three being based on books, with two of those being memoirs. These seem a far cry from comics, but Cretton has a deep Marvel connection – Captain Marvel no less. Cretton’s second film, Short Term 12, was the first leading role for Carol Danvers herself – Brie Larson.  His following films, The Glass Castle and Just…

Wheel of Time Trailer Celebrates the Women Who ‘Protect the World’

New DVD release, , , , ,
”The power inside you: all over the world there are different names for it. But it’s one thing, One Power, and women who can touch it — we protect the world.” So says Rosamund Pike’s character, Moiraine Damodred, in the first Wheel of Time trailer released by Amazon. Even for those who have never read the Robert Jordan novels upon which the series is based, it’s clear that the powerful women featured in this preview are the ones to be reckoned with. So why is someone called “the Dark One” pursuing a small group of friends who look much less…

No Time to Die Trailer Teases Bond’s Struggles in a Changing World

New DVD release, , , ,
James Bond has spent nearly sixty years on the big screen consistently overcoming elaborate, seemingly-insurmountable attempts on his life from an assorted array of ostentatiously megalomaniacal madmen. However, pandemic-era delays clearly have his number, having forced No Time to Die, the franchise’s long-heralded 25th official film, into over a year’s worth of release date retreats, now leaving it to finally face the music in October. Interestingly, the film’s new trailer seems to thematically parallel its potential box office plight, since our out-of-retirement MI6 agent seems perplexed against an invisible, intangibly-operating global threat. Daniel Craig’s long-heralded curtain call in the Bond…

Kings of a Dead World: Why We Tell Sleep Dystopia Stories in an Age of Climate Change

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This piece is sponsored by Author Jamie Mollart laughs while admitting this, but the idea for Kings of a Dead World, his new dystopian novel about a world put to sleep to conserve resources, came to him in a dream. And why shouldn’t it have? “Sleep on it” is the common advice for a human being pondering a big choice or change, with the promise that a good night’s sleep will allow them better perspective to write a novel, make a life-shifting decision… maybe even save the world? Over fifty years ago in Welcome to the Monkey House, Kurt Vonnegut…

World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic: Best Addons to Download

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While part of the appeal of World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic is the chance to relive one of the best expansions in WoW history, the truth of the matter is that World of Warcraft has improved in some significant ways in the 14 years since Burning Crusade was first released. The ideal WoW experience is arguably somewhere between “Classic” design and modern innovations. Well, the best Burning Crusade Classic addons essentially help bridge that gap. By improving some of old-school WoW‘s most annoying shortcomings, they allow you to enjoy a version of WoW that some will argue is close…

World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic: How Long Does it Take to Reach Level 70?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is finally here, which means that it’s time to use every guide, cheat, and skip you can find to reach level 70 as quickly as possible. Ok, there are still plenty of players who love to take their time on their journey to the level cap, but as WoW Classic showed, more people are interested in reaching the “endgame” as quickly as possible than ever before. Call it a symptom of dedicated gamers “figuring out” older WoW games and optimizing the best path through them, but it seems like more and more Classic…

World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic: How to Fix Server Issues

New DVD release, , , , , ,
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is finally here, and unless Blizzard has figured out something about server overload that the rest of the video game industry hasn’t, the return of one of WoW‘s most popular expansions ever will likely also mean the return of server issues that prevent some from playing the game. Server problems are essentially the cost of doing business for those who love to play online games, but knowing that doesn’t make it any less frustrating to learn that you can’t actually play your favorite game because the servers that run it just aren’t working.…

And Tomorrow the Entire World

Max SchindlerMovie reviews, ,
The 20 years old law student Luisa, who comes from an upper-class family, joins Antifa because she is opposed to the rise of the political right in Germany. The plot is partly inspired by the biography of director Julia von Heinz, who belonged to Antifa herself when she was younger. The political design of the movie's right-wing "Liste 14" party is also a reference to that of the Alternative for Germany.Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: May 06, 2021

Loki Was Supposed To Die for Good in Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Infinity War

New DVD release, , ,
The Marvel Cinematic Universe just can’t seem to quit Tom Hiddleston as trickster God Loki. Both the actor and character he plays are returning for their seventh total Marvel project, the chronologically ambitious Disney+ procedural Loki, on June 9.  In an interview Thursday with EW promoting the new series, however, Hiddleston and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that the MCU did try to quit Loki several times throughout the franchise’s run. The God of Mischief was marked for death (for good) not once, but twice in the MCU. As was previously reported, Loki was never intended to make it…
