Boardwalk Empire: The Farewell Daddy Blues, review

Here’s our review of the Boardwalk Empire season four finale, which definitely got the job done. All is not quiet on the ocean front. Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams) is not in the mood for words. And why should he? Backstabbing is rampant on theBoardwalk.Empires are built on broken promises and .22s behind the ear. Chalky and Nucky share a problem, Dr. Valentin Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright). Chalky has no way of knowing that the good doctor has been lightening Nuckys envelopes....

Dirty Harry’s Scorpio: the most overlooked screen villain?

and setting the template for a legion similar cop movies. Dirty Harrybegins with one of the coolest opening sequences in any thriller. In a sense, Scorpio is Callahans worst nightmare made flesh, and an inversion of everything he is. Its worth noting just how little screen time Andy Robinson actually gets until the second half of the movie. In many ways, Dirty Harry is a deliberately manipulative movie. Its important to note how much of Scorpios character came directly from Robinson....

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4), Review

Not only did it feel illogical it also felt forced. Not only that, but it also shows that Guerilla really hasnt learned much over the past fewKillzonegames. Couldnt this next gen hardware be used to program some more competent A.I. that doesnt depend on bullet sponge enemies to be a challenge? Despite the A.I.s stupidity, though, theyre crack shot shooting you through the tiniest of openings. Shadow Fallalso introduces a lot more stealth options than previousKillzones, and this is a mixed bag....

50 Dedications at the End of Movies (and What They Mean)

Lots of films are dedicated to, or in memory of someone. But it’s not always clear why. The card read Dedicated to our friend Kevin Cordasco. After all, the dedications are there for a reason. What I uncovered was some funny stories, mainly extremely sad ones, and some extremely moving dedications. These stories are presented with due respect to everyone concerned. Ive tried to stay clear of the more obvious ones (with one or two exceptions)....

Deadpool: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Review

Could this be the best Deadpool story of this millenium? It isnt enough that Deadpool is funny. There has to be a certain level of pathos at his core. He has to be serious at times to really work. Mark Waid understood this. Joe Kelly perfected this. There needs to be some real emotion to ground him. Luckily, the new guys dont fall into that trap. Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan had a rough start when starting up the newDeadpoolvolume for Marvel NOW....

Nebraska, Review

Hollywood will always maintain kernel of backhanded love for Americas classic Mid-Western culture. The jokes are plentiful, blatantly placed, and at times laughably surreal. Ad content continues below Nebraskahas a very Coen Brothers-esque sense about it. Aside from the Coen Brothers style at times, there is a touch of Wes Anderson here and there. A director does not need to present the same film over and over, in actuality they shouldnt....

Deadfall Adventures (Xbox 360), Review

The worst part about the entire scenario is that the plank breaks in half just after crossing the pit. Youll also venture into the forgotten Mayan ruins and the Arctic. However, youll only find yourself using the flashlight. The campaign isnt the only mode, though, as there is also multiplayer team deathmatch and survival. Its not very amusing. Minor quirks aside, theres still many issues withDeadfall Adventures. The game lacks polish, and suffers from severe framerate issues on the Xbox 360....

Who is Billie Piper playing in The Day Of The Doctor?

Rose Tyler isnt quite looking herself in The Day of the Doctor trailers, so whats the story? Spoiler warning: contains some fairly wild speculation aboutThe Day of the Doctor. Avoid if thats not your thing. Theres a very simple two-word answer to that headline question: Rose Tyler. Its what the IMDb says. Its what common sense says.
