A Hit Thriller That Failed Miserably at Homaging a Classic Survives Netflix Assassination

via Sony There’s no harm in paying homage to an undisputed classic of cinema that changed storytelling forever, and 2008’s Vantage Point is far from the worst attempt to employ the Rashomon method first brought to prominence in the legendary Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 classic, but it may well be one of the most underwhelming. The technique involves the retelling of the same core plot point with a number of characters from multiple perspectives to try and create an air of mystery as to where the truth really lies.…

Garfield rallies to defeat rival Roosevelt in East L.A. Classic

Eyes rimmed red, black smeared across his cheeks, brows curved upwards in astonishment, Damian Cabrera glanced for a moment at the sea of fans in Garfield blue celebrating in the seats of red.This was it. This was everything. This was the East L.A. Classic not only personified but elevated into a community-event-turned-blowout at the Coliseum. This was pride, blue confetti erupting and someone in the stands of USC’s home stadium proudly waving a cardboard cutout of his face, his Garfield family of thousands chanting “East…

The Worthless Spinoff That Diluted a Classic Franchise Braces for Impact on Streaming

via Universal Based on what we’ve seen over the years, we can assume that every major studio in Hollywood has a secret panic button marked “SPINOFF” that comes in handy when a franchise has run its course. In the case of The Bourne Legacy, we’d have much rather it hadn’t come along to significantly water down one of cinema’s all-time great trilogies. Matt Damon’s three-film arc as Jason Bourne delivered a trio of bone-crunching action thrillers that brought the tired espionage epic kicking and screaming into…

New Final Fantasy 16 trailer expands on the classic RPG setting

A new trailer for the long-awaited Final Fantasy XVI shows that it doesn’t just share a classic fantasy setting with games like Final Fantasy I, II, III, and IX, but a similar plot as well. The trailer, though, titled Ambition, teases an expansion on those old plotlines as well. Final Fantasy 16 takes place in the land of Valisthea, which is shared by six uneasily peaceful factions: Rosaria, Sanbreque, Waloed, The Dhalmekian Republic, and The Iron Kingdom. Each of these kingdoms has taken plots of land near one of…

A Grotesque Mind-Numbing Cult Classic That Left Critics in Awe Is Earning the Praise of Horror Hardcores

Begotten-1989 In this day and age, silent films are a forgotten treasure of the past as dialogue-focused blockbusters have engulfed the cinematic scene.

The film in question is Edmund Elias Merhige’s Begotten (1989), which has recently resurfaced in the hearts and minds of the horror-loving…

Looking Back At The Classic Album 20 Years On – Entertainment Focus

Christina Aguilera first broke into the UK consciousness in 1999 when her debut single ‘Genie in a Bottle’ shot straight to No.1 on the Official Singles Chart in October of that year. Due to her having found fame in America through Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club alongside a certain Britney Spears, the comparisons came thick and fast. Christina’s voice was clearly a huge asset for her and whereas Britney seemed sweet and innocent, Christina was definitely a little edgier from the get go. Although a further three Top 20…
