[Editor’s note: this review of HBO’s “The Last of Us” premiere comes to us from John Starling, reporter at large and man of leisure.] Theatrical video game adaptations have a notoriously checkered past. Not every video game can or should be adapted into something for the big or small screen. But “The Last Of Us” always seemed like a shoe-in for a screen adaption. It was a multi-award-winning game with a strong story, good acting, and was a best-seller. The original game (sometimes now referred to as the “Last Of Us Part 1”) has been re-released and remastered multiple times,…

If you are of a certain age and/or played a lot of Guitar Hero II, chances are you know all about the majesty of Trogdor The Burninator. Maybe he was a man, maybe he was a dragon man, or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still Trogdor.

Trogdor has now known life as the above video, a computer game, a bonus track on Guitar Hero…

Oh, nameless sources on the internet. Is there anything you won’t claim? Factual casting information? Naaaaw. Real, honest-to-goodness leads? Not in THIS place, friend! At least we have personalties like DC Studios’ co-head James Gunn to weed through some of the more egregious rumors; giving us the ultimate primary source. Today’s little chestnut is the frankly outlandish rumor concerning a new face as Superman. Jacob Elordi (“The Kissing Booth,” “Euphoria”) has apparently been suggested as taking on the mantle of the Last Son of Krypton. Online ‘sources’ claim this choice came from Gunn, for one of his upcoming projects for…

The great Mel Brooks making a sequel to “History of the World Part 1?” We kind of thought it was a joke. It’s absolutely NOT, as a teaser for the upcoming series was released today.

This just in- Universal Studios’ Parks & Resorts has announced plans for a brand new theme park. The location is a little surprising, honestly. Frisco, Texas will reportedly be the home of a “new concept” from the entertainment giant, looking to cater to “families with young children.”As Universal says,”The new park concept, set in a lush green landscape and featuring immersive themed lands, celebrates Universal’s iconic brand of entertainment, humor, and innovation and brings to life its beloved characters and stories in ways that will wow even the youngest theme park goers.” We’ll let you know what we find out.

When Amazon Prime Video confirmed the long rumor of a live-action “God of War” series, one question immediately leapt to mind. Who would play Kratos? The first (and some would argue ONLY choice) is Chris Judge, who has been voicing the character since 2018’s franchise relaunch from Santa Monica Studio.He’s got the background- action and adventure through “Stargate SG-1” (and other “Stargate” series) made him a genre staple. He’s got the imposing height, and most importantly, the VOICE. But another actor has been mentioned recently as a good fit- Dave Bautista. The WWE star-turned serious actor has recently been searching…
