Red Notice will be writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber’s third action film collaboration with his star of choice, Dwayne Johnson. And although this latest offering follows the familiar heist movie formula, the recognizable narrative patterns in all Thurber/Johnson collaborations are becoming their own trademark. Like Skyscraper (2018) and Central Intelligence (2016) before it, Red Notice is

It’s never easy trying to rank Animal Crossing‘s cast of beloved villagers (we’ve taken a couple of looks at that topic in the past and have certainly received more than a few passionate replies for our efforts), but we just can’t help but open this debate up again by ranking the 16 new villagers recently

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 5 I’m a little bit concerned by how much the newest season of Young Justice is dragging.

This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 4 Once a season, Legends of Tomorrow runs an episode where they try and change the past. It’s inevitable on a time travel show: the characters all have histories, and the consequences of changing the past are sufficiently dire to keep dipping

We’ve already talked about the best legends in Apex Legends‘ impressive Season 11 update, but even the strongest characters in the game won’t make it to the final circle if you’re not using the meta’s best guns. While just about every Legend in Apex Legends is useful in at least some situations, we’re starting to

This article contains spoilers for Army of Thieves and Army of the Dead. Army of Thieves, the prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, has less to do with zombies than you might expect. Yes, there are a few undead creatures shambling around the claustrophobic hallways of Ludwig Dieter’s (Matthias Schweighöfer) nightmares and on

This is not Zeb Wells’ first time in a comic book writers’ room. It’s not even his first time breaking Spider-Man stories as part of a team. The big difference with this one (besides the focus shifting to Ben Reilly, Peter’s returned clone wearing the official red and blue for the first time in decades)

The beginning of autumn is supposed to be spooky season, particularly in the U.S. where Halloween is treated with more reverence than most national holidays. It’s that time of year where children go trick ‘r treating and adults also dress up as ghosts and goblins—seeking out out new chillers and thrillers of every stripe. Even

Sadly, spooky season is over. That pumpkin you carved a few nights ago? It’s starting to look scary for all the wrong reasons as it decays. Those ghost decorations? Maybe you can let them ride for a few weeks more, but turkey season is around the corner if you’re in the U.S., and the neighbors

“They’re really nice people you know. [Laughs] They look very frightening, but they’re really very nice.” That compliment, dubiously delivered on Saturday Night Live’s 1981 Halloween episode by a thematically-apropriate host in Halloween star Donald Pleasance, served as the introduction for the show’s most unique musical act: SoCal hardcore punk rock band Fear. However, differing

There’s something special about “that moment” in the horror genre. Whether it’s the scene from that movie that’s been burned into your head since childhood or the passage of that book you’ll always wish you couldn’t recite from heart, there are just times when horror is so perfectly distilled into a single moment that we

Like a needle on a record, Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho drops a sharp stylus into a deep groove and lets her spin. Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) is a modern fashion design student in the film—modern in the sense that she is a 21st century woman living in contemporary England. But in her dreams she

Ben Gibson has a habit of surprising people with his knowledge of intensely local lore. Oftentimes when a stranger mentions that they’re from a small town he’s never heard of, Gibson is ready with a whole host of native facts. “I’ll respond with ‘Oh that place where they have the local legend of the firebird

New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talks about, um, Count Orlok? Yes, vampires are everywhere. Movies have documented them in tall mountains, small towns, icy landscapes, and in the desert wind. But why rough it in remote locations when you can enjoy all the discomfort of a torn throat in the hustle and bustle of

This article contains Halloween Kills spoilers. What compels Michael Myers? Why does he wear the mask? What once seemed to be a simple but ominous question to psychiatrist Samuel Loomis—because he’s EVVILLL!—has somehow led to a dizzying variety of answers among the Halloween franchise’s various timelines and narrative cul-de-sacs. Michael could be evil because of
