This summer, Ritter will be releasing “Sharks of the Corn,” a horror-comedy that pretty much tells you exactly what to expect, with just a dash extra. Ritter is a unique character in the independent film community. His career as a director stretches back to 1984 with the release of the campy, low-budget slasher flick, “Day of the Reaper.” As is the case with many a camp b-movie director,…

The story of Adonis Creed will continue in 2022 as MGM has officially announced the release date for the third film in the “Rocky” spin-off series. Michael B. Jordan reprising the role of the son of Apollo Creed, while also serving as the film’s director. This announcement had been preceded by rumors about Jordan directing in 2020. “Creed” co-star Tessa Thompson let word slip that Jordan would be assuming the director’s chair, but both Jordan and MGM had remained tight-lipped on the matter until now. Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time in the history of “Rocky” movies that the…

Following a decision by Dr. Seuss Enterprises earlier this month to discontinue the publishing of 6 of the famed author’s books, eBay has announced that it will follow in kind.

March 6th, 2021 will mark five months since the death of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen. Despite his untimely death at the hands of cancer in October of 2020, and the dissolvement of the band that carried his name, his legacy lives on in more than one way through his son, Wolfgang Van Halen. Following in his father’s footsteps, Wolfgang’s debut single entitled “Distance,” has just topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Wolfgang’s entry into the greater pantheon of rock was met with a degree of controversy when it was announced back in 2006 that he would be replacing longtime…

Type in the phrase, “’Dark Souls’ with guns” into Google, and the first results you’ll come across are from a game called, “Remnant: From The Ashes”. This 2019 third person shooter was developed by Gunfire Games, previously known for their work in porting “Darksiders 2” to the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, as well as developing “Darksiders 3”. Fittingly enough, “Darksiders 3” also drew inspiration from the “Dark Souls” franchise. While “Remnant” certainly does take some mechanics that were either popularized or originated by “Dark Souls”, it plays and feels very differently with its own identity. To get the “Souls”…

The troubled story of EA and BioWare’s 2019 game “Anthem” has come to an unceremonious end. Earlier this month, “Anthem” publisher Electronic Arts was reportedly mulling over whether to allow BioWare to continue trying to revamp and improve the game, or shut it down altogether. On February 24th, 2021, a post from Christian Dailey on the official BioWare blog revealed that the decision had been made, and further development of the game has been halted.
