[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3.] Since Yellowjackets premiered in 2021, it’s been clear that no character is safe. From Laura Lee (Jane Widdop) to Jackie (Ella Purnell), the wilderness quickly began to take its pick of the ensemble cast of characters. But, with Season 2, it became clear that the writers were adamant to bring some sorrow to the adult timeline as well. While this wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, the adults the writers continue to kill off are all linked by a fundamental aspect which joins them: From the teen timeline to the adult timeline, these characters have been plagued by the Doomed Character Trope. A show like this is captivating because of the unpredictability of its circumstances. When each death relies on characters who have already suffered tenfold, it’s impossible not to feel nauseated each time someone is picked off. Although this trend feels like it started with Natalie’s (Sophie Thatcher,...

In a 1992 comedy flick, a carefree cheerleader learns about her destiny to hunt down and kill vampires. Although this teenage girl is initially flippant about her burgeoning abilities, a series of events forces her to take vampire-hunting seriously. Amid a botched prom and an antagonistic showdown in the school basement, the girl and her allies emerge victorious, having put an end to the tyranny of vampires hounding Hemery High School. Mostly unserious and wholly slapstick, this Fran Rubel Kuzui-helmed film received a negative to lukewarm reception on release. This comedy was none other than "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

But this isn't the version of Buffy that entered the global pop culture DNA. After all, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the television series we know and love, is remembered through its enduring imagery: Black leather jackets, occult/religious iconography, passionate romance, and gothic architecture, to name just a few. At its...

In 2009, Attack on Titan began its run in a world dominated by the shonen behemoths. Since then, Hajime Isayama’s celebrated series has single-handedly popularized anime and manga as a medium among international audiences.

As successful and influential as all the shonen series including Dragon Ball, the Big Three anime, Yoshihiro Togashi’s Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter have been, there’s one record unique to Isayama. This record is a testament to the consistency in the plot progression of Attack on Titan, which no other series has been able to achieve yet.

Attack on Titan defines success and consistency with this record

The Attack on Titan anime was first released in 2013 and concluded its run in 2023. There are a total of 94 episodes split in four seasons, released over the span of a decade.

When you read about the films that could, and really should, have been made, you usually hear about Jodorowsky’s Dune, Richard Stanley’s The Island of Dr Moreau and Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon are among the most frequently mentioned. However, one that should get just as much mention is George A. Romero’s Resident Evil.

Four years before Paul Anderson kicked off his franchise, George Romero, who certainly knew a thing or two about zombie movies, was hired to shoot a commercial for Resident Evil 2. When it was well received, plans were made to have him adapt the property as a feature film. A year later, he was fired from the project by Constantine Films.

Director Brandon Salisbury and co-writer Robbie McGregor devote just under two hours to exploring what happened, starting with his groundbreaking film Night of the Living Dead.

Judging from the trailer released by Amazon Prime Video on 8th January, it seems like fans won’t be disappointed. We might be all set to witness a return of everything that made the first two seasons memorable, including one trope that fans have grown to love.

With the annual Haunted by Daylight event winding down today, Behaviour Interactive have announced the next Chapter for Dead by Daylight with Doomed Course, available today via the Steam public test build, and officially releasing on November 28. Doomed Course introduces The Houndmaster as a new Killer with her AI-controlled companion, and Taurie Cain as the new Survivor to The Fog.

Also known as Portia Maye, The Houndmaster “stands as one of the most unique and tragic characters to enter the Dead by Daylight universe.” Beginning life as a curious, kind-hearted girl, Portia’s mind was shattered when she was forced to witness the brutal torture and murder of her father at the hands of pirates in the 19th century. Consumed by her hatred, she grew up alone on the mysterious Dragon’s Tooth Island in the Bermuda Triangle, devoting her life to inflicting pain on those responsible. The only remaining...

Chris Pine had a laugh but wasn’t exactly thrilled when fans focused more on that scene in one flick than the gritty, R-rated action. The $120M epic delivered brutal battles, but what grabbed the internet’s attention? Pine’s brief full-frontal moment. Despite the blood and gore, fans zeroed in on his unexpected cameo.

Pine, ever the good sport, joked about the attention but admitted he wished people had talked more about the movie’s intense storytelling and less about his “junk.” It’s safe to say this flick gave audiences more than they bargained for—and Pine, well, he kept it classy.

It’s a running gag that powerhouse streamer Netflix loves to cancel its original series.

Very few TV Fanatics have escaped Netflix’s penchant for ax-swinging when it comes to some of our favorite series.

And now, the gods were not smiling down on the modern-day Greek mythology series, Kaos.

(Justin Downing/Netflix) Kaos Offered a Truly Unique, Refreshing Take on the Genre Series

There is nothing quite like Kaos currently on the air, and unfortunately, now there isn’t anything at all.

Kaos was a genuinely fun series, in many ways taking a similar approach as The Boys when tackling a specific genre that is either overfraught or not approached in unique ways.

Hugh Grant took all of our hearts away during his rom-com days but his real-life personality couldn’t be farther from a male romance lead. Often deemed as grumpy, sullen, and sometimes straight-up disrespectful, Hugh Grant holds a certain reputation for himself that you wouldn’t expect from the charming star of films like Love Actually.

It was probably this unusual side of Hollywood’s heartthrob that weirded out Sandra Bullock to the point that she ended up avoiding him for years. Before the two starred opposite each other in Two Weeks Notice, Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock united for a “relationship meeting” where the actress was so grossed out by a story he had to tell that she walked out and didn’t return for three years.

Ubisoft's free-to-play XDefiant has only been out for four months and it's already facing trouble. The game was off to a strong start when it launched in May 2024, hitting a reported 1 million players within 2.5 hours of its release. Since then, the game has been unable to retain its player base.

During an investor call, as reported by Dot Esports, Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot admitted that XDefiant has fallen "behind expectations." This is in spite of the fact that Ubisoft already had "lower expectations" for the game. Just a few weeks ago, the official XDefiant X account shared a roadmap through to Season 4, including plans for new weapons, maps, and modes, although there are no release dates planned yet. This suggests Ubisoft isn't giving up quite yet, though players still could.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 2, Episode 7, “Doomed To Die.”]

Shortly before “The Rings of Power” Season 2 debuted, there was a short-lived Twitter tiff over whether fans should care how much money Amazon spends on its “Lord of the Rings” prequel series. On one side, there were fans happy to take their entertainment at face value: “It’s TV! It’s meant to be fun! If a trillion-dollar shopping giant wants to cough up half a bill on the boss’ favorite fantasy franchise, then who are we to complain? And if you don’t like it, don’t watch it — there are other shows, you know.”

Fair points, to be sure, but the opposition argument focused on the bigger picture: “Think of all the other shows Amazon could’ve made with $465 million. Think of all the other artists who could’ve been working on those shows.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 4 was a turning point in the sci-fi horror series as Buffy and her gang transitioned from high school to college. With such a drastic change in her life, Buffy finds it hard to adjust without the support of Giles, away from her mother, and with Angel in Los Angeles.

From fighting silent monsters to Faith's return, new relationships, and the introduction of the Initiative, this season gave fans a lot. Some fans believe certain episodes suffered because the show creator was also working on the spin-off show, Angel, at the same time. However, many great episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 4 left a lasting impression on viewers.

The hype surrounding Alien: Romulus has been growing more and more as the release of the film approaches. Being the latest addition to the franchise and more grounded in its roots, it is safe to say that the film has become one of the most hyped from the series in years. One of the biggest contributing factors to this has to be its cast, featuring Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, and even Archie Renaux.

With its spine-chilling xenomorphs, the Alien Franchise has captivated fans’ hearts ever since its release. The franchise has many movies and Alien: Romulus is an upcoming movie, making it the 7th addition to the franchise.

Fans have been waiting to hear a few rumors and leaks about that plot point of the movie. However in a surprising turn of events, players got leaked information about the Aliens: Fireteam Elite sequel, despite the original game receiving mixed reviews from the fans.

In both Hades 2 and actual Greek mythology, the Fates are characters that have consistently shaped the world and schemings of the Gods and Goddesses. The Princess of the Underworld, Melinoe, regularly asks Fate to lend its aid in Hades 2. Although this might not always be successful, you can still unlock the Fated List of Minor Prophecies.

Veterans of the original Hades title will remember the Fated List of Minor Prophecies as a list of tasks you can complete for standard rewards. The item serves the same basic function in Hades 2, although its not free this time. Acquiring the Fated List and bringing it to the Crossroads where Melinoe, the new protagonist of Hades 2, resides is a relatively easy task, but it will require some investment, like all other incantations.

Steven Spielberg is undoubtedly one of the greatest voices in filmmaking today. Since the ’70s, he has proven himself to be a very competent director who can dabble in any filmmaking genre with ease. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of The Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, The Color Purple, etc. are examples of his complete mastery over varied genres.

Spielberg tasted success early in his career with Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. When he decided to put a comedic spin on the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, many, including John Wayne, warned him that it would backfire on him. The underwhelming reception of the film led to a big realization of the mistakes that he made.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was way ahead of other action-adventure games of its time. It was a multi-level game that focused on the element of stealth. Even though all Splinter Cell games focused on stealth, Chaos Theory introduced significant changes to stealth mechanics.

This game set the benchmark for other stealth games. As such, many would agree that Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is one the best Ubisoft title out there.

X-Men ’97 opened to positive reviews on Disney+ and many critics hailed it as a nostalgic throwback to the original X-Men: The Animated Series. Just before its release, the showrunner Beau DeMayo exited the series for some unspecified reason, starting a whole new rumor mill on the internet. When he was part of the show, DeMayo revealed that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films would have never happened if it was not for the original X-Men animated series.

The Incredible Hulk animated series has a range of excellent episodes that explore the character effectively. The series continually adds dynamic allies and evil foes to the epic Marvel saga, including many familiar faces for MCU audiences. Many of the best Hulk show episodes explore Banner's connection and conflict with the Hulk.

The Incredible Hulk produced a wealth of fantastic episodes depicting the eponymous Marvel hero, though a handful stand out as the best episodes ever. The Incredible Hulk ran from 1996-1998, producing 21 episodes across 2 seasons. With the X-Men '97 revival posing potential avenues for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its future, revisiting The Incredible Hulk opens up similar narrative options.

Produced as part of Marvel's 1990s animated universe, The Incredible Hulk shares a continuity with X-Men '97. Depicting the beloved Marvel Comics character and his associated allies and enemies, the cartoon proffers a comprehensive overview of the Hulk's comic book lore.

Brazil’s giant media conglom Globo and Spain’s Atresmedia International, the overseas arm of top commercial broadcaster Atresmedia, have renewed their strategic pact for another five years, in which Atresmedia delivers Globo telenovelas, series and mini-series across Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market.

“Since we launched the agreement five years ago, we have witnessed how well the audience of Atreseries and Atresplayer welcomed Globo’s content, which every month occupies very significant positions in the audience rankings and perfectly complements our original offer,” said Mar Martínez-Raposo, director of Atresmedia International.

Key Brazilian productions comprising some 500 hours a year via Atresmedia include “A Life to Die For,” “Doomed,” “The Hunter,” “Time After Time” and “Ambitious Women,” many of which premiere exclusively on Atreseries and Atresplayer.

“We are very pleased to continue this long-standing collaboration in strategic territories for Globo such as Latin America and the U.S. We...

Editor’s note: Jesse Andrews is author of the novel Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, which is one of five books pulled from the library shelves of high schools within the purview of Tallahassee, Florida-based Leon County Schools superintendent Rock Hanna, after the Leon County chapter of the conservative group Moms for Liberty petitioned the schools to remove the book because of the frank depiction of sex and gender identity issues. The others include Push, the Sapphire-penned book that inspired the film Precious; Doomed by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk; Lucky by Alice Sebold; and Dead End by Jason Meyer.

Rumours are rife about who’ll be cast in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Fantastic Four” movie, marking Hollywood’s fourth attempt to bring the iconic superhero quartet to the big screen.

One of those reports indicated that Mila Kunis would be playing an uncharacteristic role in the film: Thing, a.k.a. Ben Grimm, portrayed in earlier film iterations of the franchise by Michael Chiklis and Jamie Bell.

The rumour was sparked after she was spotted having lunch with director Matt Shakman, who’s been tapped to helm the new “Fantastic Four” film for Marvel.

The tagline for The Asylum’s latest film Monster Armageddon reads “Welcome to the Multiverse”. But the film actually has less in common with Marvel or DC’s concept of shared universes than it does with Toho’s monster mashes like Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla Final Wars.

A handful of Hollywood Critics Association (Hca) members, including Variety’s senior awards editor Clayton Davis and two other Variety journalists, have resigned from the fledgling awards body over the expulsion of a critic who raised questions about the group’s financial status, fundraising distribution and operations — then took her complaints public.

An individual with knowledge of the resignations told TheWrap that Davis along with senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay and red carpet reporter Angelique Jackson all resigned from the Hca. Kristen Lopez, a TV editor with IndieWire, also announced on Twitter that she resigned from the group.

The dustup has created a rift both within and without the Hca, which evolved from the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society.
