Assassin’s Creed, the game series that launched a thousand parkour-related broken bones, just released their newest title, Assassin’s Creed Origins. Ubisoft has been developing this prequel chapter for no small amount of time, and the early buzz for it after E3 was marginally better than the previous title, Syndicate. ‘Origins’ takes place in ancient Egypt, […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Snowman is said to be based on a novel of the same name by author Jo Nesbo. That the film was developed into a script in the first place would seem to indicate that the original must had some merit as a crime thriller. Unfortunately what is releasing this weekend is so […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″]   One of the more rehashed film tropes that has been in play in recent years it that of the protagonist reliving the same day repeatedly. The classic Bill Murray film, Groundhog Day was the originator (the short film 12:01pm notwithstanding) of the time-loop storyline and remains the gold standard. Most are pale […]

Our own Baltimore Lauren will be liveblogging tonights season 2 premiere of CW’s Riverdale, airing at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific, It’s been five months since we last left the gang in Riverdale with Fred (Luke Perry) having just been shot at the diner, Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) tossing a lit candelabra into her gasoline soaked house […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Every so often I go into a film not particularly expecting to be caught up in it. Not for any lack of its own part, but perhaps the trailers haven’t really connected, or the news around it hadn’t yet gotten my attention. So I settled into the screening of Professor Marston and the Wonder […]

Hugh Sheridan reporting from NYCC for Bleeding Cool: Last night at NYCC, attendees were treated to a sneak peek at some clips from the new movie The Death of Stalin as well as a discussion and Q&A session with the author of the original graphic novel upon which the film is based, Fabien Nury. The film’s […]

I just got done with my Blade Runner: 2049 screening, and this will be one of two reviews (at least) I will write.  Without pretense, I am completely astounded and blown away.  In a statement from director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival) read before the film started, we were asked not to reveal key plot points and I will honor […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Hollywood studio executives seem to continue to be under the impression that any film that was made more than a decade or two ago is ripe for a remake. I’m sure some suit will come along and notice that Trolls and Trolls 2 hasn’t been dug out for a redo yet, and we’ll […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] These days, Tom Cruise is in a rather odd position as a Hollywood star: people expect him to be solid in his roles, but they don’t really expect him to do anything that might be award-worthy, either. He always gives a full-court-push, regardless of the project he’s in at the time, be it Rock […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Fresh off the series finale of Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien continues to prove that he’s got some genuine acting chops — but even paired alongside Academy Award nominee Michael Keaton, they can’t save American Assassin from being an uncompelling and ambivalent bore. After the pre-release studio buzz of Assassin possibly being on the level […]
