The Legend of Tarzan, directed by David Yates is overly formulaic and has a lot of flaws, but it’s still a passable action-adventure propped up by a good cast and likable characters. John Clayton (Alexander Skarsgård), after being raised by an ape in Africa and becoming known under the name Tarzan, has returned to London […]
The season three finale of Silicon Valley, “The Uptick,” serves as a case study in anticlimactic serial storytelling. The previous nine episodes of the season ratcheted up the tension with regards to Pied Piper’s success as a company and Richard’s evolution as a CEO. In episode nine, “Daily Active Users” (reviewed here), Richard was forced […]
Once again, Capcom had another surprise up their sleeve at the end of one of their Pro Tour tournaments for Street Fighter V.

Under the proposed deal, full seasons of CW series would become available on Netflix less than two weeks after the final episode of […]
Batman #1 may be a DC Rebirth title, but that’s something of a misnomer. In fact, you don’t need much knowledge of current Batman continuity to follow the events of this inaugural issue. The story itself is straightforward: a plane flying into Gotham is shot down with a missile and Batman races against time to […]
Learning that the tentatively-titled Spider-ManPS4 was on its way was an emotionally draining experience.
