The Lord of the Rings is the most popular and one of the most recognizable fantasy stories. J.R.R. Tolkien’s book has sold over 150 million copies worldwide and has lived in hearts of so many for generations. It even inspired a massively successful film series that brought new standards for cinema and special effects. But as much as I adore the films and indeed the books, one can’t help but think that their classification as a “children’s book” is very generous....

Eddie Muller is proud of his alias as the Czar of Noir. Being the founder of The Noir Foundation comes that kind of infamy, as does being the host of Turner Classic Movies’ Noir Alley every Saturday night. A scholar of the film movement that shot a bullet of cynicism right through the heart of post-World War II America, Muller has spent a lifetime as an author, conservationist, and simply a fan of the hardboiled form....

Randy Orton has gone back in Doc Brown’s time machine, becoming the “legend killer” for the second time in his career. After taking out Edge and Christian in the last few months, Orton had set his sights on Big Show on last night’s episode of RAW. The story weaved throughout the episode and had elements of old-school pro wrestling. Orton cut a killer promo where he talked about his motivations and why he’s taking out so many WWE legends....

This Killing Eve post-mortem includes spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3. It’s not so often that we get to see the two Killing Eve leads together on screen. Much of the draw of the spy-assassin drama is the cat-and-mouse game between Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer), and a cat can’t chase a mouse if they are already together. Still, watching a drama that is ostensibly about the complex relationship between these two women in which the two women never see one another wouldn’t work either, so every once in a while, Eve and Villanelle meet and, more times than not, it means fireworks....

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is in the hands of players worldwide, and that means once again, the loyal fans of the pink puffball need to leave no stone unturned as they search for the game’s secrets. Indeed, even as Kirby makes the jump into 3D after years of remaining a 2D side-scroller, the title is far from lacking in having plenty of things for players to do and find. As the game progresses, it’s only natural that these secrets would only grow harder and harder to find, and it may lead to plenty of players struggling to find one last item to clear many different missions....

Made by several of the developers previously involved with Lionhead Studios’ Fable series, Kynseed has remained in Early Access ever since November 2018 — a little over four years ago. Within that time, quite a few players ended up enjoying Kynseed’s life sim RPG gameplay. The game currently boasts a “very positive” rating on Steam out of over 1,300 user reviews. Fortunately, those who fell in love with Kynseed may soon feel even more positive about the experience, as developer PixelCount Studios revealed that the game will officially leave Early Access and see a full release date next month....

This past week, the highly anticipated collaboration between Rockstar Games and Team Bondi, L.A. Noire, was finally released. Though I have had considerable hands-on time with the final game, there are still many more cases to solve before the 20+ hour title is complete. Even though the final review is not yet prepared, I am far enough into the game to offer-up some basic impressions of the title’s core mechanics, story, and presentation - for those gamers who might be thinking of picking it up....

Chris Hillman spoke with Den of Geek about his bands, bass, and the canyon which created the California sound. CHRIS HILLMAN: We were just following our instincts. I mean it sounds corny, but we were following our heart. We came out of folk music, and me more so out of bluegrass and traditional mountain music. It was quite a move just to plug in amplifiers. We really took what we had been doing and put it together, especially with “Mr....

This Legion review contains spoilers. Legion Season 3 Episode 8 What a long, strange trip it’s been. Besides being the series finale, “Chapter 27” of Legion feels like an end of era because it very well may be the last live-action piece of Marvel content not cooked up by the Disney brain trust, and while Doctor Strange dipped its toe into psychedelia, I can’t envision the House of Mouse ever making something so delightfully demented and off-beat for a wide audience....

Sega has pulled out all the stops to create a genuinely enjoyable mini-game compilation in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Considering the series’ pedigree, that’s quite the feat. It might seem odd that a mini-game fest would have a gameplay length, though, so what gives? A series first, Tokyo 2020 includes a story mode for players to dig through. More of an extended tutorial for 95% of the mini-games, there is an actual plotline with some small collectibles scattered about....

Luke Cage is back! In his own show! And so are our Marvel-Netflix episode notes where we’ll do a bit of commentary and reference-spotting for each episode of the series. Feel free to read along as you watch too, but please don’t spoil future episodes for anyone in the comments!

Today, Blizzard has revealed that over 25 million players have logged in and played its latest shooter, Overwatch 2. This comes just 10 days after the original release of the game, which was released as a free-to-play title for PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Oct. 4, 2022. It’s an impressive number to say the least, especially considering all the troubles the game has gone through over the course of the last week....

After a week of speculation about its upcoming spring and early summer release schedule, Warner Bros. is finally making waves due to the coronavirus crisis. The biggest release date shift was that Wonder Woman 1984 is moving off its June 5 release date in favor of Aug. 14, 2020. However, just as important were the announced delays of WB’s animated Scooby-Doo movie, Scoob!, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, and James Wan’s Malignant....

It’s been over a decade, but the groundbreaking animated sci-fi comedy series, Invader Zim, is finally returning to television with an hour-long television movie. The brainchild of comic book artist and writer Jhonen Vasquez, the series premiered on Nickelodeon in 2001, but was canceled during production of the second season. Though an ongoing comic materialized in 2015, fans of the cult hit have long hoped for Zim’s return to the small screen....

Back in June this year, director Todd Phillips shared the good news that Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck AKA the Joker, will be returning for a sequel titled Joker: Folie à Deux. While that was certainly welcome news, not many other details were shared about the movie.
