Perhaps that’s a little strong, but this 2014 remake doesn’t really compare favorably to the 1987 original. The original was a fun blend of humor, action, and over-the-top violence, while the remake took itself much more seriously and aimed for realism, losing much of what made the first film so enjoyable.
As a huge DC fan, it’s been rough watching so many heroes fall over the years. I remember being shocked when characters like Rick Flag, Superman, Supergirl, and even Michael Keaton’s Batman bit the dust in the old DCEU continuity. And honestly, James Gunn’s new DC Universe is already starting down that same path – we’ve already seen Nina Mazursky and Princess Ilana Rostovic get written out. It wasn’t just the movies either; The Penguin show on TV was pretty brutal with its kills. Now, with HBO’s Lanterns series, it feels like we might be bracing for even more characters to meet their end.
Season eight of Outlander is kicking off with a bang! The show immediately reminded us of what we love – Claire Fraser taking action – and then jumped right into a dramatic scene. It’s exciting to have a new version of the iconic ‘Skye Boat Song’ (sung by Annie Lennox, no less!), but the fast pace is a bit jarring. This is the final season of Outlander, and with only ten episodes left, the story needs to move quickly to wrap up Claire and Jamie’s incredible journey. Just give viewers a moment to catch their breath!
Amazon MGM Studios now owns the James Bond franchise, meaning they’re in charge of future films. The longtime producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, stepped down in February of last year. Since then, the studio has brought on acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve (known for Dune and Blade Runner 2049) to direct the next installment, and Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, is writing the screenplay. Knight’s involvement is influencing predictions about who will play the villain in the upcoming film.
Though it doesn’t seem obvious, “300th Night” is a continuation of a Star Trek: Voyager episode from 1998, “The Omega Directive.” That earlier episode first introduced the Omega molecule, and until now, it hadn’t appeared again. “300th Night” features a man-made version called Omega-47, which is just as dangerous. The original Omega molecule was too unstable to be controlled, but that’s no longer true at Starfleet Academy. Now, it’s been developed into a weapon powerful enough to potentially destroy the entire Star Trek universe.
Here’s the information you’re looking for about when Season 2, Episode 10 will be available, plus a few other important details.
First Reaction – Salem’s Lot struggles to land the horrors involved.
The film War Machine follows Ritchson’s character, 81, as he endures the incredibly demanding US Army Ranger training. Just as he’s nearing completion, he encounters a terrifying new enemy. The movie blends a touching personal story with thrilling action, making it an enjoyable, fast-paced experience, though it perhaps doesn’t delve as deeply into its themes as some might like.
The film features a team of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Alan Ritchson, in a role that feels like a somewhat uninspired attempt to emulate action stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately, a weak script from director Patrick Hughes and James Beaufort doesn’t help Ritchson create a truly compelling character – he comes across as just another generic action hero. The real focus of the movie is actually the alien robot, reminiscent of those in Transformers, that’s hunting Ritchson and his team. If you can overlook the film’s overly serious tone and predictable plot, it surprisingly manages to be quite engaging.
In the new Prime Video series Spider-Noir, Robbie Robertson plays a role similar to Jimmy Olsen – he’s the dedicated news reporter who’s always right in the thick of things.
