The classic kid's tale of a doctor who can speak to animals and fix them hasn't been adapted in a while since that one 1998 starring Eddie Murphy. Seeing as Hollywood is pretty bankrupt ideas-wise, the folks from Universal Pictures, Team Downey, Roth Films, and Perfect World Pictures saw it fit to retell the tale in a new way set in a period settin...
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: RPG version of the Dragon Ball Z saga for 2020 For a lot of people who only vaguely familiar with Dragon Ball, the franchise is synonymous with overly-muscular characters screaming and fighting. On the other hand, fans would understand that at the heart of Dragon Ball lies a sense of adventure, which is how it a...
Platforms: PC, Xbox One Genre: Remastering of Bungie's final Halo-titled pew pews Ask me any day of the week on what's my favourite game on the Xbox 360. Without any hesitation, I'd tell you, it's Halo: Reach. Bungie's last swing of the bat with the Halo universe was not only their swansong with the franchise, but it was also their best. Tying up...
I'm not a fan of war movies. I mean that in the sense that I've not watched a lot of war movies. The last war movie I watched was probably Fury, that movie with Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, and a tank. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed 1917. It's a war film that takes the buzzword "personal" to an entirely new level. Director Sam Mendes has been p...
You've probably never heard about William Eubank's sci-fi horror Underwater. That's because the movie actually finished filming over three years ago in 2017, but is only now receiving its theatrical release. Should it have remained lost in the depths, or does it deserve to finally see the light the day? Deep Blue Alien [caption id="attachment_4971...
Gundala is Indonesia (and Southeast Asia's) first attempt at creating its own superhero film franchise akin to that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is written and directed by Joko Anwar, whom many are dubbing the 'Kevin Feige' of this ambitious Bumilangit Cinematic Universe (BCU). Unbeknownst to many (even amongst hardcore comic book fans), I...
As annoying as it is to some people, it's almost impossible to discuss the fantasy genre on TV without mentioning HBO's Game Of Thrones. It was The Lord Of The Rings' equivalent on TV, a genre-defining feat which would have been fondly remembered as a classic, if not for its widely-derided final season. Netflix's The Witcher has an advantage compa...
Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker should have been the Chosen One, bringing balance to the Sequel Trilogy. It should have been the sweeping grand emotional payoff that fans have been waiting for. Everything from 1977's Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope to 2017's Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi has been leading to this, for better an...
Spies In Disguise is one of the last animated movies to be released in 2019 before we make way for 2020. The premise is simple; what if James Bond or Mission Impossible's Ethan Hunt transformed into a pigeon? How will he complete his missions? By teaming up with a 'weird' genius teenager, of course. That's basically all you need to know going into...
A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon is a Shaun The Sheep episode stretched out to a feature-length film made by the folks from Aardman Animations. The original TV show features slice-of-life comedy featuring smart-but-naughty sheep, a loyal but irritable sheepdog Bitzer who acts as the sheep's comedic foil, and the oblivious Farmer. Expect more of...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Part action RPG, part isometric platformer, all Darksiders Trust the Airship Syndicate (or ex-Vigil Games, if you want to be blunt) to be inspired by gaming design trends they like while putting a spin onto it. With the first Darksiders, it's The Legend of Zelda. With Darksiders 2, it's the 3D Prince of Persia titles. And no...
Trust Razer to brand itself as the go-to gaming peripheral brand for the elite and the hardcore, all the while charging its base audience up the wazoo. Don't feel too sorry for them; they have the disposable income to fall for this ploy time and again. But I digress. Even if most of these peripherals are overpriced to the point of absurdity, the c...
Platform: PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Grid-based tactical Gundam game with dozens of stories. From the get-go, it's easy to see that a game like SD Gundam G Generation: Cross Rays is made exclusively for Gundam fans. It's not meant to be accessible to anyone who isn't knowledgeable about Gundams and the various anime and stories that they have...
Platform: PC Genre: Sid Meier's Civ + Command & Conquer + 2019 spit & shine = this The second Age of Empire is being repackaged once again, but at least there's a few new things added to make its price justifiable. The Definitive Edition straddles between being a remaster and a remake. Its art and AI has been polished and revved up, while...
Do you hate watching slow-burning murder mystery films that take their sweet time to their payoff that usually never ends in a satisfying manner? Director Rian Johnson probably has seen too many of those back in the 80s and 90s, and actually thought of a great solution when making his own black comedy murder mystery film and possible Clue tribute K...
Platform: PC Genre: Detective game with an existential crisis RPG So far, 2019 has been a great year for role-playing games. With titles like Fire Emblem: Three House and The Outer Worlds giving RPG fans great opportunities to dive into massive worlds full of interesting characters spouting well-performed dialogue, there's no doubt that it will be...
PASKAL, a military gung-ho film by Adrian Teh, was an admirable Malaysian-made film that failed to decide whether to be a serious military drama or an 80s action flick. Thankfully, he learned from his mistakes there and proceeded to create a pretty solid action flick called WIRA. She Ain't Heavy, She's My Sister The story revolves around Hassan (...
[Review originally published on 15th November.] The more things change, the more they stay the same. If you're Disney these days, sometimes change doesn't come that often, especially when you take into account The Lion King's (2019 version) disgusting box office numbers. So we should be glad that the team of Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Metroidvania, Soulsborne-lite, & Uncharted-lite For over four decades of its franchise, Star Wars has translated pretty well into video games. Putting aside all the shooters and racing games we've received, games that really allow players to live the fantasy of being a Jedi have ranged from being great (Raven...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Fantasy animal cockfighting simulation Two steps forward, one step back: this is developer Game Freak's development philosophy when it comes to every mothership Pokémon game they've handled since the second generation days of the late 90s and early 2000s. Has that changed in the Nintendo Switch's first-ever moth...
