It’s been a few months since the incident in Arkham. The one where the water wouldn’t stop rising, and something else was rising with it. The city is working on rebuilding, but some things should never be rebuilt, and Isabelle Barnes is determined to make sure those things aren’t. With the help of maybe the only decent cop in Arkham, Tommy Muldoon, Isabelle works to
Read MoreIn February 2025, Amazon gained full creative control of the James Bond franchise. Although audiences are still eagerly awaiting what Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve will do with the property in the eagerly awaited next film involving the character, actor Riz Ahmed‘s new Prime Video series Bait takes a different angle. It’s a sort of meta-commentary on the cultural weight of the role of James Bond. Bait sees Ahmed playing a British Pakistani actor who is going through
Read MoreProducer George Miller, co-producers Judy Morris and Warren Coleman, and John Collee’s musical comedy adventure animated film, Happy Feet, briefly returned to Regal Theaters this past weekend. This is due to their “And the Award Goes to…” daily re-release of award-winning films for the month of March, from the classics to this year’s Academy Awards nominees.

Read MoreTisannah is used to being the underdog. After signing her life to the Order to help save the slaves in Threll, she was double crossed by the very people she helped.

Read MoreFor a long time, I’ve asked myself the following question: Have I aged out of Pixar, or has Pixar lost its magic? With Daniel Chong’s Hoppers, we finally have an answer to this question. It was the latter. In a post-Incredibles 2 era, only Turning Red felt like the masterpieces the animation studio consistently released and pushed the medium forward in unexpected territories. For a
Read MoreHigh on Life 2 was one of my most anticipated sequels from Squanch Games. It immediately steals the show by being a very confident sequel that knows exactly what kind of experience it gives the players. It was built directly on the foundation of the first High on Life game, but it clearly aims to be bigger and better in every way. But it has
Read MoreResident Evil Requiem is one of those games that I had really high hopes for. As I mentioned in previous reviews of horror games, I am not a huge fan of this genre. But, over the years, I started to appreciate it and checked out many of the horror games. And with Resident Evil, it was really worth it. As the ninth mainline entry
Read MoreNirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is Matt Johnson’s continuation of the television series of the same name, which follows the fictitious antics of Johnson and his best friend Jay McCarrol as they attempt (and fail) to book a show at The Rivoli, as if the Toronto-based café was as complex to book as Madison Square Garden.
