TRIGUN STARGAZE gives us our long-awaited duel between Nicholas and Livio/Razlo in Ep. 8 "Good Bye, My Friend". As you can imagine, it's an epic duel of the fates worthy of a Star Wars movie in more ways than one. And as readers of the original manga by Yasuhiro Nightow will know, this duel
Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters feels like the Monsterverse finally found its long-form superpower. The series takes the best parts of the films and binds them into something richer. You get the human cost that makes the Godzilla stories sting. You get the lore and sci-fi that makes the
HEEL, aka THE GOOD BOY HAS A LOT OF SIMILIARITIES TO BLACK SNAKE MOAN... The new movie Heel (also known as The Good Boy in the UK) is like an updated, more twisted version of Black Snake Moan. Instead of Samuel L. Jackson chaining up a sex-crazed Christina Ricci, its about an innocent-looking
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride is fantastically unhinged in the most delicious and deliberate way. This is not a nostalgic retread of Frankenstein. It is a reclamation project. A gothic romance filtered through 1930s Chicago Mob grit, stitched together with satire, horror, and a sharp awareness of
Journal with Witch gives both Makio and her niece Asa a serious case of writer's block for their respective tasks in Ep. 9 "Intersect". For different things, of course. One is having writer's block on writing a novel, and the other is getting the same thing writing song lyrics. But regardless of
I am such a sucker for films that make their setting a character. The kind where the city itself is so integral to the story it can't be made anywhere else. I also love a good 70s crime thriller, character-driven narratives packed with equal heart and thrills. Enter The Only Living Pickpocket in
Psychosexual horror comedy featuring tentacle sex and a satirical sledgehammer to therapy culture is a hard sell anywhere. For something like that to work, you've got to be all in on the vibes. If not, the whole thing crumbles and becomes an insufferable sit, the hyper stylized execution more
At the end of last week's episode of The Pitt, we finally learned what happened to cause Westbridge to shut down. As PTMC preemptively secures itself from a possible cyberattack, the younger doctors and nurses get a trial by fire on how their superiors did their jobs "in the 1900s." With their
In a place as vast as the Amazon, it makes sense that a giant snake would be the ultimate predator. Feasibly, a giant snake could dwell in the waters of the Amazon River; after all, with how many new species are still being discovered each year it really would not be too far-fetched. Beware Boiúna
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a franchise revival that feels like it understands what made the original games so much fun. The gameplay is fast, frantic, and often delightfully violent, while the game throws a surprisingly large number of systems and mechanics at you. Thankfully, most of them feel
Anna (Jasmine Trinca) is a wealthy woman who has a beautiful family in the 90s in Italy. The story, split throughout time with flashbacks to their lives in the 90s and up through 2026, allows the audience to see what Anna inflicts on her family through each decade. The Spiral gives Anna an
