Entertainment Unfiltered
I’ve never read the graphic novels upon which AMC’s new show Preacher is based, so I have no idea how faithful the show is. What I do know is that in its 90-minute premiere, Preacher is able to establish a small corner of its bizarre world, one that draws the viewer in. I don’t entirely know what’s going on […]
File this on under “things that should have existed for ages.” The Nintendo Entertainment System is pretty much the reason we are all here playing our fancy PlayBoxes and X-Stations. The little grey toaster is getting up there in years, and while good controllers can sometimes be difficult to track down. And even if you […]
How do you end a time travel story? Is there any way to do it successfully? So much of the thrill comes from spending time with characters like Jake Epping/Amberson as he tries not to get caught, or found out, or foiled in his mission (in many ways, 11.22.63 was structured a lot like an espionage thriller). […]
Dungelot: Shattered Lands is a quirky roguelite by Red Winter Software and published by tinyBuild (who also published Punch Club). Fundamentally speaking, it’s what you get when you play Minesweeper by way of a roguelike RPG. And it’s better than it sounds. The story is mostly the standard fantasy deal, but with a twist. Their […]
House of Cards is allowed to be many things: weird, nasty, cynical, satirical, pulpy. One thing it is never allowed to be is boring. “Chapter 47” wasn’t a total trainwreck, but it was one of those dreaded place-setting episodes, which are a necessary evil in serialized dramas like this. Characters have to move from point A […]
Star Wars Rebels hasn’t really had many Chopper episodes. That’s probably because the body count would get too high if it did. I have no idea when the whole Malachor thing is going down, but it’s not this week. The Ghost is out stealing fuel from the Empire again, this time on a planet that, […]
In a weird way, the thing I admire the most about 11.22.63 is its restraint. It’s hard to restrain anything when your show is based on an 849-page book and involves nothing less than time travel and the future of our country. To say nothing of the show’s huge scope (Jake has to stay in the ’60s […]
Star Wars Rebels established pretty early on that Zeb is sort of a “last of his kind” deal. In a technical sense, he is. You know, from a certain point of view. No, I will not stop linking to that, it’s still funny. Okay, so he isn’t really. Hondo Ohnaka just happened to float some […]
For this installment of Bad Movie Review, Margaux suggested going back to where it all began: Nicolas Cage. We watched Pay the Ghost, and were frustrated by its almost aggressive mediocrity. Read on – IF YOU DARE! Trevor: :Nicolas Cage is maddening. I don’t mean that in the usual sense people say it, as in […]
Margaux and I liked half of last night’s The Walking Dead. Unfortunately, we had to review the whole thing. Trevor: Anybody sick of this back-and-forth about Glenn? The shot of the watch remains in the credits, which is where the show can reinsert Steven Yuen’s name, and that voice on the walkie-talkie at the end sounded a lot […]
With Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden out this month on October 16th 2015, BANDAI NAMCO has decided to ease the pain of waiting by launching a brand new digital experience for the game – so get ready for “Twitter plays Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden”. To thank fans for their support, the legendary and acclaimed “Super Butoden 2” *(Super Nintendo) is available to download […]
Yes, we are finally at the point where developers are announcing DLC packs before the core game has even gold Gold. Assassin’s Creed –no stranger to botched releases and a Madden like turnaround– has announced that a Jack the Ripper DLC will be available; Available for the game that isn’t even done being made yet.
