It’s very safe to say no one expected “KPop Demon Hunters” to blow up as big as it did. Even the people at Sony who produced the film didn’t, otherwise they wouldn’t have sold it to Netflix. Merchandise for the film has been hot, whether it be the soundtrack, Halloween costumes, or figures. Speaking of the latter, if you’re in the market for some super high-quality ones, Sideshow Collectables has unveiled the Hot Toys “Kpop Demon Hunters” line. If you’re not familiar with the company, Sideshow distributes a number of collectibles from big franchises including juggernauts Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter,…

1996 was one hell of a year for video games. It was the year the Nintendo 64 dropped. Super Mario 64 redefined gaming in a 3D environment. It was also the same year that brought us “Resident Evil,” the Japanese debut of “Pokémon,” and “Crash Bandicoot.” It also just so happened to be the year the world was introduced to one of the most famous female characters in gaming, Lara Croft. Yes, it was 30 years ago that “Tomb Raider” debuted, and the franchise plans to celebrate in style. “Tomb Raider” holds an interesting place in the gaming landscape. By…

We are very excited to share the first look at Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming film, “I Play Rocky.” Starring Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone, it will release this Thanksgiving. It’s a date even more significant, thanks to the fifty years of “Rocky” history behind it. On November 21st, 1976 “Rocky” was released in theaters and became a cultural touchstone. The film, written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, was an underdog story both in its plot and in real-life. Stallone was a struggling actor who had managed to knock out a screenplay that he knew he needed to play the lead…

Music, like all art, is going to mean different things to different people. It will forever by a creative force that is subjective. This is why listicles of the best songs will always be subject to debate. That’s a good thing though; it gets people thinking and discussing their passions. That’s why we absolutely respect the effort that went into the list of the 50 Greatest TV Theme Songs that was written over at Consequence of Sound. And now let’s talk about how absurd the list is and where it has some significant faults. Again, opinions being opinions, there is…

Considering what I had to sit through in order to be able to write this review, I feel like you, as a reader, deserve better. So, I’m going to cut right to the quick and let you know that “Return to Silent Hill” is a bad movie. What’s worse is that it’s not even a movie that’s so bad it’s good. This isn’t a “War of the Worlds” type of awful film where you wonder what everyone involved was thinking or doing. Instead, we have a movie that has every intention of trying to be something interesting and finds multiple…

It is not going well at Ubisoft lately. The gaming giant coincidentally shuttered its Halifax division shortly after it unionized. The company claimed it was all part of an overall restructuring which, okay, maybe. Regardless, it seemed to portend problems. And now we see more evidence with the announcement of six outright cancelled games, and numerous delays. Ubisoft’s track record has been spotty recently. High profile franchises like “Far Cry,” “Splinter Cell,” and “Assassin’s Creed” have grown fairly stale, and “Star Wars: Outlaws” woefully underperformed in sales. We don’t know what the path moving forward for the company is, but…

Aww here it goes! Well, kind of at least. Those four opening words greeted viewers at the start of each episode of the Nickelodeon sitcom “Kenan & Kel.” The beloved show and duo entertained audiences for four seasons and a TV movie from 1996 to early 2001. And in the 25 years since then they have never really left the public consciousness. While we got a dose of them again with 2023’s “Good Burger 2,” the boys are coming back again to face off against Frankenstein for Prime Video. This is not one nof those things we could’ve predicted but…

There is no doubt about it, Martin Short is a national treasure. Well, a Canadian national treasure. The actor has been gracing television sets and film screens for roughly five decades, and there is no “short”-age of roles and projects showcasing his immense talents. The last several years have seen his star power shine even brighter with a career resurgence in “Only Murders in the Building.” But there’s so much more to him than that; enough to where you just might need a documentary to help you digest everything he’s done. Well, if that’s what’s needed, Netflix has you covered.…

The timeless story telling of Edgar Allen Poe has seen itself appear in film and television through adaptation and homages over the decades. The late, great Vincent Price found himself in a number of these in the early 1960s, cementing himself as an absolute icon of horror. Full on Poe adaptations have been fewer and further between in recent years, which is why we were pleasantly surprised last year to see that A24 was looking to resurrect “The Masque of the Red Death” with Sydney Sweeney attached to star. Now, a year later, we have more concrete details about the…

They say an elephant never forgets. What they didn’t say is that’s not a statement of fact; it’s a promise. In what could be a real-life horror film, a rampaging elephant in the India state of Jharkhand has already claimed the lives of nearly two dozen people and as of the time of this writing is still on the loose. Elephants are complex and wonderous creatures. Between their size, intelligence, and social behaviors they are a unique land presence in the animal kingdom. The average Asian elephant can weight around four tons and nine feet tall. That’s more than enough…
