Believe it or not, Survival Horror and Resident Evil are turning 16 years old. Let’s take a look at how Resident Evil has evolved over the years and see how competing franchises like Silent Hill and Dead Space have added to zombie shooting, whether it’s in space, a creepy town, or a secret Umbrella lab.
We are
three episodes into Parks and Recreation’s fourth season and
though it has yet to produce a real barn burner, the season also
hasn’t put out any complete duds. “Born & Raised” continued
that trend with a story that brought Leslie’s birthplace into
question. Though the episode took a while to really get going, there
were still some great laughs to be had throughout its second half.
The cold
open provided a few humorous moments early on, though they would drop
off after that for awhile. Voice of Homer Simpson, Dan Castellaneta,
was responsible for a few of the opening scene’s great lines, if only
for the mellifluous drawl with which he delivered them. Besides the
comedy, the scene also introduced the driving force behind all of the
episode’s storylines. Leslie’s book about Pawnee was actually a bit
of product placement for the real life companion piece for Parks
and Recreation, but it ended up
causing nothing but trouble for the book’s fictitious author.
Deadline had the exclusive on the new
project from the creative minds behind Lost (one
of them anyway) and Supernatural. Not much is known
about Revolution at this point, as Abrams is always tight
lipped on his new series, but what is known is that the script penned
by Kripke has been given a pilot production commitment by NBC. The
action adventure thriller will be produced by Bad Robot and Warner
Bros.
With all the plates he is already
spinning, J.J. Abrams will surely be keeping his name in the news
whether Revolution is picked up or not. Fringe is
moving into its fourth season, just after Person of Interest,
one of the new series from his production company, recently
premiered, and Alcatraz is set to start as a midseason
replacement early next year. Abrams is also maintaining a presence
on the big screen with a sequel to Star
Trek.
As I put the game in and reached the main menu, it already
began to win my attention with the dazzling background and mesmerizing music. El
Shaddai from the very beginning is a game which contains a marvelous mixture of
colors, but the colors are not the only good thing about the game.
You start off as the main
character Enoch, a human scribe who has been allowed to stay in heaven while
still alive as a result of his righteousness. Now the story is based on the
defiance of a group of angels named Azazel, Ezekiel, and Sariel who are known as the Watchers.
The angels were so fascinated with the way humans lived on earth that they
decided to leave heaven to go live on earth. As a result of their actions, the
elders of heaven make the decision of flooding earth, but Enoch with his pure
heart objected. Enoch was given the mission of going down to earth and bringing
back the fallen angels to be imprisoned in heaven, in order to prevent the
elders from flooding the earth. This is where your journey begins.
There’s some familiar elements to 50 Girls 50, but added together and you have a great mix of campy sci-fi that hasn’t been seen since the golden era of television. 50 Girls 50 is about a team of women that are sent through a worm hole to discover the galaxy and bring home their discoveries after being gone for over five years. The warp is set to return them, but due to a miscalculation somewhere they are sent to a different planet that’s nowhere on their maps.
It was long ago… way before Image Comics was born. The time was 1986 and then comic book store owner Mike Richardson decided to be a publisher, from that point on Dark Horse was born. But to hear the tale of origin, it is best to hear it right from the horse’s mouth and this is what you should know. “Dark Horse Comics, Inc. is a privately held Oregon company established in 1986. Corporate headquarters are located in Milwaukie, Oregon. Founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson, behind the concept of establishing an ideal atmosphere for creative professionals, Dark Horse Comics has grown to become the third-largest comics publisher in the United States and is acclaimed internationally for the quality and diversity of its line. By attracting the top talent in the comics field, Dark Horse continues to change the shape of the industry and grow its brand throughout the world.
In movies, it’s not “beware the ides of March.” After the doldrums of January and February films, things finally start to pick up in March and this month looks like it could hold the first memorable films of 2012. From the animated film Rango with Johnny Depp opening Friday to Zack Snyder’s much-anticipated original film Sucker Punch on Mar. 25, there’s a high ceiling as things turn to spring.
Sundance is coming on Friday! I know what you’re thinking, “I live in Atlanta, why should I give a shit?” Well, sir/madam, I’ll tell you why. Sundance isn’t just important for the people who are fortunate enough to attend (me, /gloating), but for all the movie enthusiasts in the world.
As exciting as it is to start 2011 with a clean slate of movies, if you know anything about the annual movie calendar, studios dump films with low expectations into January (usually) with hopes of making whatever money they can. So in figuring out what to see at the theaters, there’s always this giant shadow of doubt because the film was released in January. So tip-toeing cautiously, we present to you our January Movie Preview.
Peterson returns to his prime and shows why he’s the only one that can truly craft the world of Mouse Guard. The Black Axe raises the stakes of not only his storytelling, but also his art style.
The last series of Mouse Guard – Legends of the Guard – was a series of short stories written and drawn by some of the top talents in the comics industry. The problem with the series was that it was to carefree and lackadaisical. The world of Mouse Guard is one of danger and death and Legends never seemed to capture that element.
