In this episode, Dan scores a significant big game kill, which gives his camp a strong advantage.

Warning: Major Spoilers for Alien: Romulus below!During the finale of Alien: Romulu, a Xenomorph ends up saving the life of Cailee Spaeny's Rain, but its motives aren't exactly heroic. The Alien movie franchise wasn't in great shape following the critical and commercial letdown of Covenant in 2017. It was the job of Fede Alvarez's Romulus to wipe the slate clean and get audiences excited about the property again. On that front, Alien: Romulus' box office success and positive critical response (it currently sits at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes) suggests the latest sequel has done exactly that.

The big question is where will the franchise go next? Alien: Romulus' ending suggests that survivors Rain and Andy (David Jonsson) could return for a future misadventure, though outside of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, the saga has struggled to keep the same protagonists beyond a single entry. Rain will no doubt want to...

Bittner’s statement [via Metal Injection] reads as follows:

“On August 1, 2024, I played the Vagos Metal Fest in Portugal, and it was the last show I will play in the band Overkill. For a while now I have been juggling a few different bands along with Overkill, and I knew at some point something would have to give since I simply can’t be three places at once. Over the course of this last year, my schedule has reached that breaking point.

At this time Shadows Fall is working towards completion of our new material that will take us back...

Fallout 76 is not the most acclaimed entry in the hit RPG series by a long margin. Apart from the game’s quality, which series enthusiasts almost always criticize, the state of the game at launch was nothing short of deplorable.

In addition to almost unanimously agreeing that the title was perhaps the series’ weakest entry, the community agrees that ‘The Scorched’ can be incredibly challenging to slay. But many fans might be unaware that a much scarier enemy almost replaced them

Fallout 76 Lead Artist Reveals That He Wanted A Much More Unsettling Enemy Type Instead of the Scorched Fallout 76‘s Scorched could have been much more scary if the original designs were retained.

Fallout 76 recently shattered Steam Records thanks to the TV Show on Prime Video and Amazon Games giving away the title for free. Despite everything wrong with the game, per the community, the game once again became a...

Issue 350 of Spawn is a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, as it wraps up a storyline that began in issue 100. The vacant throne in Spawn's story will finally be filled in issue 350, which will have significant repercussions for the Earth and other comic books in the Spawn universe. Artist Brett Booth will be taking over Spawn, while Carlo Barberi will be moving to Gunslinger, in order to bring fresh perspectives to the characters and keep the artists engaged.

Todd McFarlane has several projects in the works, from his beloved toy company to the ongoing Spawn comic book series and the long-developing Spawn movie. Spawn was first created by McFarlane in 1992, and he first announced a new movie nearly ten years ago, in 2015. The movie is a passion project of McFarlane's, and there has been quite a bit of buzz around it recently.

Jason Blum revealed how he hopes...

Nita Strauss, who recently rejoined Alice Cooper’s band as lead guitarist, has announced a new solo album. The set, titled The Call of the Void, will drop on July 7th via Sumerian Records.

Strauss explained of the album’s new title in a press release, “Have you ever been at the top of a high building and had the fleeting thought, ‘I could jump right now?’ This feeling is sometimes called ‘The Call of the Void,’ also known as ‘high place phenomenon.’ It’s not a suicidal impulse, rather the exact opposite — a subconscious decision to live your life, to step back from the ledge, and take control. As researcher April Smith aptly put it: ‘An urge to jump affirms the urge to live.'”

She continued, “I wanted the follow up to [my debut album] Controlled Chaos to be exciting, new, and fresh, to take listeners to a new place and...

Meet Your Maker will be launching soon and players will be able to experience this post-apocalyptic world of building and designing levels and bases combined with first-person shooter mechanics on nearly every major platform as soon as it releases.

Whether building customizable traps or raiding other player-built outposts, the game offers a variety of ways to have fun.

The creative building processes include a large variety of traps, custom patrol paths for guards, and more. Meet Your Maker features a post-apocalyptic world design and touts that it offers ever-expanding gameplay with additional building and raiding content being added regularly.

Juice Wrld’s untimely death two years ago did little to snuff out his burgeoning stardom — quite the opposite, in fact. As evidenced by the very existence of Tommy Oliver’s documentary “Juice Wrld: Into the Abyss,” the rapper’s impact on those around him — to say nothing of his legions of fans — continues to be felt today. The film’s vérité, behind-the-scenes look at his trials and tribulations may feel surface-level to those unfamiliar with Juice, but his many admirers will likely consider it essential viewing.

One of the first things we hear Juice say in the film is “I pop Percs to numb all the pain ’cause it hurts to live,” a line delivered with characteristic effortlessness in one of the many freestyle raps he performs. Like just about everything else he ever wrote and recorded, this one is “from the dome” — off the top of his head and not written in advance.

It's hard to believe that it has been a quarter of a century since Alicia Silverstone made her name in the high school comedy Clueless. Now she is about to return to the genre that made her a star after joining the cast of Netflix movie Senior Year, which has already cast Rebel Wilson in the lead, with Sam Richardson, Mary Holland, Justin Hartley and Chris Parnell among others. Will it be a happy homecoming for the actress, or will it turn into a school reunion nightmare?

The movie is being directed by Alex Hardcastle, best known for his work on the TV shows Grace and Frankie and Parks and Recreation, from a script by Brandon Scott Jones, and tells the story of a cheerleader who awakens from a 20 year coma and attempts to claim the prom queen crown that she missed out on at her old high school. With...

It’s the granddaddy of British cop dramas of the modern era. The most popular English picture of 1950 introduced PC George Dixon, a warm-hearted constable who would become a staple on BBC TV for 21 years. T.E.B. Clarke’s screenplay of a murder manhunt is stocked with actors American fans know well — Dirk Bogarde, Bernard Lee — and some we should know better — Jack Warner, Robert Flemyng, Dora Bryan. The show was made by the top craftsmen of Ealing Studios, and its fast pace and Brit sensibility will definitely impress. And remember — the Bobbies on the beat don’t even carry guns.

The Series: This is a Robbery Where You Can Stream It: Netflix The Pitch: A docuseries that covers the still-unsolved 1990 robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Why It’s Essential Quarantine Viewing: There are a lot […]

The post The Quarantine Stream: ‘This is a Robbery’ Investigates ‘The World’s Biggest Art Heist’ appeared first on /Film.

If you’re anything like me, you speed-raced through the four parts of Netflix‘s This Is A Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist docu-series, aware that the creators behind the documentary were almost certainly not going to break this 30-year-old cold case wide open, but also desperate to see what conclusions would be drawn. As much as this is a documentary about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, it also quickly becomes a story about organized crime in Boston and New England circa 1990, and the methods with which the FBI investigates. Because of this, the final part of This Is A Robbery focuses on the Boston Mafia and the FBI.

Who stole the paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum?

While This Is A Robbery is careful not to make any declarations about who actually pulled the heist, the docu-series does seem to come to the broad conclusion that...

Peter Benchley’s follow-up to Jaws is a treasure hunt thriller starring Robert Shaw and filmed in the pearly waters off Bermuda. The exciting underwater scenes boosted the careers of Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset but the memory that stuck in the minds of millions was a particular wardrobe decision for Bisset’s siren of the deep. Who needs Spanish gold and a fortune in lost morphine? This import disc features a commentary by actress Illeana Douglas.

Exclusive: Screen Gems is developing a feature adaptation of Edwin F. Becker’s book True Haunting which The Call scribe Richard D’Ovidio is writing.

Cindy Cowan has optioned the book, and will produce with Steve Bersch and Scott Strauss overseeing the project. Screen Gems’ Brian Dukes will oversee for the studio.

True Haunting is the terrifying true story of the first televised exorcism on NBC in 1971. Millions around the country watched the program. The NBC news segment was a success, the exorcism was not. Instead, it made things worse for the Becker family who lived there. Much worse.

D’Ovidio (pictured above) is best known for writing The Call starring Halle Berry and The Forger with John Travolta and Christopher Plummer. He also wrote the spec script for Eye In The Sky which sold to Millennium Films in 2015 with Simon West directing.

Cowan (pictured above) has produced several films...

Actor Woody Harrelson is taking a well earned break after starring in his latest film Scorched - by cutting himself off from civilization. Woody finished shooting in Los Angeles in June, and is now resting in Costa Rica without the modern conveniences of everyday life. Bob Mazza, publicist for Danny Sherman, one of the film's producers, reports that Harrelson is living in a lean-to, unburdened by modern conveniences. Mazza says, "He doesn't even have a cell phone out there." Scorched, which also stars John Cleese and Alicia Silverstone, tracks the lives of several bank tellers and their separate, bumbling schemes to rob their employer.
