The Running Man review: Glen Powell proves a charismatic hero in Edgar Wright remake

by

Okay, so the story takes place in a really messed up, controlling America where everyone’s basically distracted by super violent TV. It all started with a book by Stephen King – he actually wrote it under the name Richard Bachman back in ’82 – but Edgar Wright, the guy who did Shaun of the Dead and Last Night in Soho, wanted to make this movie really faithful to that original book. He’s gone even further than the first film in sticking to the source material, which I think is awesome.

I’ve Got A Confession To Make: I Don’t Like This Perfect Game From 14 Years Ago

I’ve never really gotten into Skyrim, despite its popularity and influence on other games I love. For the past 14 years, I’ve been trying to explain why it just didn’t click with me. It’s not that I think the game is bad, or that people who enjoy it are wrong—it’s just that something about the series hasn’t resonated with me personally.

by

Fans of the sitcom A.P. Bio will be disappointed to learn that all four seasons are leaving Netflix on November 15th, just a year after the show joined the streaming service.

Forced to return to his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, he takes a job teaching at the made-up Whitlock High School. Despite being hired to teach AP Biology, Griffin mostly uses his students to help him get revenge on those who have wronged him.

The Running Man Meanders His Way Toward a Middling Sci-fi Destination (Review)

by

Director Edgar Wright is known for his fast-paced, visually dynamic films, a style that’s been hard for others to copy. This energy was evident from his early work like Shaun of the Dead, continued through films like Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and seemed to reach its height with Baby Driver. While Last Night in Soho attempted his signature style, it suffered from a confusing story. Now, with The Running Man, Wright’s trademark flair appears inconsistently, though the performance by lead actor Powell is still captivating.

There’s Only One Way to Save the X-Men and the Avengers (& No One Will Guess It)

by

Marvel has been struggling to generate excitement for the Avengers and X-Men recently. While they’ve announced Brian Michael Bendis’s return for a brief Avengers story and previewed the next chapter of the X-Men’s adventures following the Krakoa era at New York Comic Con, these efforts haven’t really addressed the core issues. Marvel needs a way to reignite interest in both teams, and I believe bringing back the Avengers Unity Squad – the Uncanny Avengers – is the answer.
