10 strange and unnerving paranormal powers in the movies

This list is devoted to a few of the weird and sometimes unsettling use of paranormal abilities in movies. Youre thinking of… a brick wall! First, he scowls at a herd of giraffes, causing the poor creatures to flee in terror. This is as amusing and as unsettling as it sounds. In 21st century terms, this means that a Sith Lord could easily kill you via Skype. If that isnt an unnerving paranormal power, I dont know what is....

Dead Island: Riptide PC review

NowRiptideis here to deliver more of the same, but can it refine the formula? Joined by newcomer, Aussie soldier, John Morgan. More of the same? Controls seem more fluid, the engine runs a little better and theres a bit of extra overall polish. However, it also doesnt take long to see that little has changed. Riptideis, right from the off, more of the same zombie-killing we experienced in the first game....

Aaron Eckhart interview: Olympus Has Fallen, White Cargo, The Core, directing and more

He’s the president in Olympus Has Fallen, and a fine, fine actor. Aaron Eckhart spared us some time for a chat about his movies… Note that the following interview contains mild spoilers forOlympus Has Fallen. Every day I tried to kill somebody. I threatened to kick somebody in the balls, or headbutt somebody, or rip the railing off. Did you get cramp in your arm? I could not feel my arms for three weeks, Im not kidding you....

15 genuine reasons people asked for cinema ticket refunds

Going to the cinema can be an expensive hobby. It got us thinking, though. What other reasons might there be for people to get refunds on their cinema tickets? (Seriously, wait till you get to number 10.) Maybe they thought the cinemas sound system was just playing up. Cue lots and lots of complaints and demands for refunds. (Or maybe they were just too scared to stay in their seats.)...

Fade to Black (1980) Lookback/Review

Fade to Black is a coming-of-age movie for psychopathic film geeks. Any movie that opens with James Cagney clips gets a film buff/movie geeks attention. You wonder what line is that from? When you recognize the voice, you venture to identify the film before they show something iconic. Its like trying to yell out the answers before the contestants on Jeopardy. It might sound smart for a minute, but it marks you as a film geek....

Top 50 Retro Game Box Designs

Like so many hand-painted covers from the 80s and 90s,Chase HQs artwork used photographs as a reference. Is it wrong to include a videogame cover because it has a racoon (or tanuki) on it? Probably, but no matter. you’ve got the option to read more about the cover and the game itself on Sandy Whiteswebsite. Its a fittingly striking, devilishly simple piece of artwork for this sinister sequel toSabre Wulf....

Elysium and the gap between rich and poor in sci-fi cinema

Last yearsLooper, written and directed by Rian Johnson, was itself a post-recession movie. The disparity between rich and poor has come up time and again elsewhere. A lot of people want to help out the rest of the world. Other people want to terminate the borders. I mean, thats a fairy tale definitely. But I was very interested in machines… Blomkamp is equally interested in machines, as theElysiumtrailer attests. Science fiction is the sugar coating that sweetens realitys bitter pill....

Defiance (PC), Review

In fact, SyFy and Trion Worlds state thatDefianceis the first interconnect video game and television series. But doesDefiancelive up to the hype, or is it just another sci-fi shooter? Character creation is very limited, having only a few numbered options available with little variation to them. But, theres no customizing beyond that. And, there was no option to give your character a full beard. No full beard to speak of....

Game of Thrones: Dark Wings, Dark Words, Review

Or you think that is all Valyrian gibberish and are in a hurry to be charged the Iron Price. The biggest introduction of new girl power tonight is the charmingly dignified Olenna Redwyne. The Lady of the Tyrell family is as politely disarming with a wry smile as she is painfully direct. Like seriously, one can instantly tell her points are as sharp an Unsullieds Blade. The Tyrells have summoned the little dove, Sansa, to their newly marked turf in the Red Keep....
