Classic text adventure fans rejoice because the ’80s are back with 1981’s Arctic Adventure returning for its 40-year anniversary — purely by coincidence. This text-based survival game was written by a 17-year-old Harry McCracken and published in “The Captain 80 Book of BASIC Adventures,” with one unfortunate flaw: The way it was printed in the

Fame is a tricky thing, and it’s something that Kristen Stewart dealt with in a higher volume when she played Bella Swan in the Twilight movies, especially when she started dating her co-star Robert Pattinson. All of a sudden, she became the subject of paparazzi crowding and tabloid front pages. Stewart had to “rebel” in
Paul Schrader, who co-wrote Martin Scorsese‘s Raging Bull, disagrees with his old collaborator on whether Marvel movies are cinema. Schrader has screenwriting credits on some of Scorsese’s most acclaimed works, including Taxi Driver, Bringing Out the Dead, and The Last Temptation of Christ. He’s also an impressive director in his own right. Despite this storied resume, Schrader picked up his first
Thanks to Marvel, film soundtracks have been on a steady comeback in recent years. While Guardians of the Galaxy kicked things off, it was the Black Panther soundtrack that made OSTs fashionable again. Hit songs like Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “All the Stars” received most of the credit, but the film’s score played a significant
DC and Webtoon have partnered for a brand new series starring Batman’s family in Wayne Family Adventures, showcasing their experiences as a group outside of their heroics in Gotham. As many DC fans know, the Dark Knight has amassed quite a few sons, protegés, and allies over the years, becoming the patriarch of several young vigilantes as
But again, that sort of villain isn’t easy to create, even in the world of 007. Just look at Spectre’s reintroduction of Blofeld, which, quite frankly, rubbed some fans the wrong way. More specifically, the twist where James Bond and his classic arch-nemesis are revealed to be adopted brothers had some series loyalists crying foul,
The gangster movie that started it all, Scarface (1932) was actually banned in several areas of the United States upon its release. The original Scarface was a project of producer Howard Hughes, whose life was documented in Martin Scorsese’s true story movie The Aviator, and director Howard Hawks, becoming one of the first talkies that dealt with
It’s only natural that those working on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would take the time to pay tribute to the man who was supposed to lead this movie, following his earlier outings as T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Sadly, we’ll never see how T’Challa’s second solo

The fearsome Pinhead of the Hellraiser series is now available in Dead By Daylight, and he’s bringing a friend along for the ride. The pale-faced, chain-wielding Cenobite Killer was confirmed to be making an appearance in Behavior Interactive’s multiplayer survival horror title last month, serving as the latest horror film icon that players can either
As Guy Pearce is intensely grateful to Ridley Scott’s decision to cast him in both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, his claim to know nothing of any sequel progress feels valid. But then again, that doesn’t mean that there’s no room for Pearce’s Peter Weyland to appear again. Whether it’s through the FX series being developed
Warning: contains spoilers for Infinite Frontier #6! In Infinite Frontier, DC has revealed the true nature of its supposed Black Lantern, leading to a major sacrifice to save the multiverse from Darkseid.

However, if you’d rather enjoy Star Wars as a filmed spectacle, and through the power of Lego or not, Disney+ has you covered.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings fan art recreates Bruce Lee’s iconic Game of Death poster pose. Marvel’s newest movie is also its newest smash hit after it took in $90 million over the long Labor Day weekend. It would be an exaggeration of course to say that the blockbuster Shang-Chi actually saved the 2021
I think the film version is superior mostly because of the performances by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter. The book actually feels kind of sparse on content in comparison, and the ending of the novel is extremely different from that of the film (Read: Not as good). Visually and viscerally speaking, though,
WARNING! Major SPOILERS ahead for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The Ten Rings have been part of the MCU since its beginning, but Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings finally reveals its full origin, along with that of its founder and leader, The Mandarin.

For nearly 20 years now, Selena Gomez has been one of the hardest working people in show business. Whether it be appearing on shows like the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, in offbeat horror movies like The Dead Don’t Die, or with her successful music career that has resulted in millions of albums
