The Training Day Moment That Won Denzel Washington An Oscar

Throughout the movie, Alonzo maneuvered his impressionable trainee into a place of rage which was both personal and professional. Before the movie begins, Alonzo was given 24 hours to deliver a cool million to a bunch of pissed-off Russians, and the corrupt cop was ready to leave young Hoyt with the bill. The “hot-headed” Alonzo killed a man on a weekend trip to Las Vegas only to find out later that the victim was connected with the Russian mafia....

The Walking Dead World Beyond Episode 3 Review The Tyger And The Lamb

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 3 The Campus Colony in The Walking Dead: World Beyond is less like a hard-scrabble camp and more like a small town protected by stone walls. There might have been thousands of people who lived and worked behind those walls, but that clearly wasn’t enough to allow someone like Silas to join the community without making a few waves. In a small town, nothing moves as fast as the rumor mill, and when the hulking new arrival comes from Omaha with whispers of violence in his wake, it’s only natural that people talk while he tries desperately to sink into the background to be left alone....

The Walking Dead World Beyond Episode 4 Post Credits Scene Explained

To understand what happens after the credits roll on The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 4, one needs to look a little further back in The Walking Dead history. The final sequence of Rick Grimes’ last Walking Dead episode “What Comes After” features an anguished Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) on a walkie-talkie, communicating with a mysterious helicopter. “I have a B,” she announces. “Not an A, I never had an A....

The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 16 Review A Certain Doom

The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 16 The Walking Dead has, occasionally, taken some heat for its special effects. For some, the problem is the practical effects, because they look a little too good for the comfort of some. For others, the issue is the CGI effects, because they have looked a little less than stellar at times. Remember the CGI deer? If not, don’t worry, no one will let you forget it....

The Walking Dead Season 11 The Commonwealth Reapers And What Else To Expect

The Walking Dead season 10 is the show’s longest season to date, with 22 episodes, but the 11th and final season will take the cake. Kicking off later this year, season 11 will run for 24 episodes through 2022, concluding this chapter of The Walking Dead franchise. While we know there is more story to tell beyond the flagship series, with Daryl and Carol getting their own spin-off and a Rick Grimes movie still on the way, season 11 will mostly likely close the door on a few other storylines....

The Walking Dead Season 11 Who Is Virgil

Near the end of The Walking Dead season 11 episode 6, Virgil (Kevin Carroll) takes in the sight of some feral human beings and remarks “I’ve never seen someone this far gone.” Given that these haunted house ghouls are completely inhuman, it’s a perfectly fair statement to make. It’s also a bit ironic coming from Virgil, Connie’s (Lauren Ridloff) new travel partner and previously one of the most “far gone” characters introduced on The Walking Dead....

Todd Haynes Slowly Peels The Cover Off The Velvet Underground

Haynes had been developing the documentary for several years. Besides contemporary interviews with John Cale and drummer Maureen Tucker, there is only archival footage of conversations with Reed, guitarist Sterling Morrison and Christa Päffgen – whose stage name was Nico. The Velvet Underground only includes interviews with people who knew the band personally during the time they were together. We hear from Reed’s sister, Merrill Reed Weiner; Warhol Factory artists Mary Woronov and Amy Taubin; cult director John Waters; and Modern Lovers front man Jonathan Richman....

Universal Monsters The Invisible Man Shows Life After Dark Universe Death

This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But it’s also rather miraculous news for the Universal Monsters label, which has by and large languished in the 21st century despite multiple attempts to resurrect it from the dead. Indeed, just three years after the Dark Universe was embarrassingly put out to pasture following The Mummy’s disastrous June 2017 debut, the Universal Monsters once again look viable....

Venom 2 Soundtrack List Every Song From Let There Be Carnage

A track from legendary rapper Eminem, fittingly titled “Venom,” that was featured in the 2018 Tom Hardy film has popped up all over the Internet in recent years. Here is a particular favorite example of mine. Yes, most of these memes have to do with filicide. Read into that what you may. Now that the long-awaited sequel to Venom is out, Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, shouldn’t we be expecting another quality Eminem song to go along with it?...

Vigil Episode 2 Review Deeper Into The Conspira Sea

“You’ll be on board for three days, finish your paperwork, then they’ll let you off on a raft,” DCI Silva was told. Small hope of that. More like you’ll be on board for three weeks, have zero time for paperwork between the near-misses with passing tankers, nuclear reactor failures and scheming Lieutenant Commanders, and, if you come any closer to the truth, they’ll only let you off as shark chum....

Watchmen Episode 1 Easter Eggs Explained

HBO’s Watchmen is a sequel to the classic comic book story by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. That’s right, it’s a sequel, not an adaptation of the original work. And yes, you’ll note that we said it’s a sequel to the book and not Zack Snyder’s movie, which was faithful to the broad strokes of the book save for a handful of details. While Watchmen isn’t the most sprawling superhero universe in comics by any stretch, it’s one rich in comic book mythology, commenting on the superhero genre as a whole while engaging in some incredibly detailed worldbuilding....

West Side Story The Brilliance And Tragedy Of Its Disney Release

Forgive the glibness, but it certainly felt that way over the last week when Film Twitter was inundated by stunned reactions to a certain tweet which revealed just a single snippet of Spielberg’s lively cinematic remake of the Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim musical. In the clip a solitary, mind-numbingly complex dolly and crane (or drone?) shot follows a group of characters that include Maria (Rachel Zegler) and Anita (Ariana DeBose) as they enter a school gymnasium to attend a dance....

What Next For Doctor Who Books

Hack’s approach to the art, which is the really distinctive element here, is a successful fusion of the monochrome TV original, Whitaker’s prose, and the Peter Cushing colourful movie version from 1965. There are some of the same bold colours from Cushing’s movie but usually one colour dominates each painting, giving the images a sense of monochrome without painting in only greys. With Whitaker’s imagination not limited by a TV budget Hack is also able to work on a larger scale than the original, and ramp up the horror in some scenes: the realisation of the Dalek mutants is satisfyingly unsettling....

Why 1992 Is The Year That Changed Gaming Forever

It’s really fascinating that 1992 ended up being this incredible turning point for the industry. With due respect to the exceptional titles of 1990 and 1991, the first two years of the new decade strongly suggested that developers were still living in the ’80s to some degree and were only just starting to figure out what the future of the industry was going to look like. All of a sudden, the market was flooded by titles that felt like they were pulled from the future....

Her speech goes: “The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. ‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The thronèd monarch better than his crown....

Will Dota Dragon S Blood Season 2 Happen

Produced by Legend of Korra animation company Studio Mir, along with Netflix Animation and Valve, this new take on the franchise is inspired by the lore found in the MOBA, but is also serious narrative expansion of this universe, introducing backstories for not only some of the characters we know from the games but the goddesses and dragons that rule the world of Dota beyond the mortal realm. The series not only serves as an origin story for Dota hero Davion, the Dragon Knight (Yuri Lowenthal), but also fleshes out many other fan-favorite characters like Mirana (Lara Pulver), Luna (Kari Wahlgren), and Invoker (Troy Baker)....

Will Gta 6 Be At E3 2021

To be fair, this rumor isn’t quite as far-fetched as it may have been in previous years. Not only is Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive scheduled to host their E3 presentation on Monday, June 14, but recent reports suggest that we may be closer to playing GTA 6 than we thought. So does that mean a GTA 6 reveal is indeed imminent at E3 2021? While that honestly seems highly unlikely, in the interest of being thorough, let’s look at everything we know about the possibility of GTA 6 being revealed at E3 2021....
