The Man Who Fell To Earth The Myopic Wonder Of David Bowie S Earth Oddity

The Man Who Fell to Earth isn’t like any other science fiction movie, even though it inspired and continues to pour new life into the genre. It is subtle, ethereal and a wholly human story. Indeed, David Bowie’s Thomas Jerome Newton is the most human character in the film. If not more human, certainly one with more humanity. He is an ideal that the people who betray him, and that’s almost everyone in the film, could only aspire to....

The Terminator The Many Performances Of Arnold Schwarzenegger

This Terminator article contains spoilers. Right up to the series’ widely praised return to form with Terminator: Dark Fate, we’ve seen that the Terminator franchise absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are dead. Through all of the series’ recent experiments with timelines and casting, Arnold Schwarzenegger has remained the constant, in some form or another. Though often underappreciated as an actor, Schwarzenegger wouldn’t have been the biggest movie star in the world at one point if he couldn’t back up his physical presence with at least a bit of charisma, to say nothing of his deadpan comic timing....

The Twilight Zone Episode 4 Review A Traveler

This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Episode 4 When it comes to science fiction, the devil is in the details. Hell, when it comes to any piece of narrative art, the Morningstar remains in the minutiae. That’s what makes the beginning of The Twilight Zone Episode 4, “A Traveler” so promising. The first quarter of “A Traveler” establishes its tone and world more effectively than any of the other three offerings thus far (save for maybe “The Comedian” and Kumail Nanjiani’s deliberately awful Second Amendment joke)....

Tandem A Tale Of Shadows Preview A Dizzying Yet Creative Puzzler

I’ve recently got into the groove of puzzle games, especially ones that aim to test my admittedly short patience. The livestreaming craze of It Takes Two’s launch prompted a fire in me to grab all my friends and jump into as many cooperative puzzle games as I could, with the intent of making frenemies out of them as they fail to listen to my instructions. Fortunately for them, Tandem: A Tale of Two Shadows is a single-player experience; yet similar to the cooperative puzzle games released as of late, you still control two perspectives....
