The Erasure of an Overlooked Entry in an Iconic Horror Saga Won’t Stand

The problem with any long-running horror franchise – besides the law of diminishing returns – is that the lesser-known or least popular installments end up sinking so far to the bottom of the pile that they end up being forgotten, something fans of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge will not stand for any longer. As the first sequel to the game-changing original that helped usher in a new wave of cinematic terror, the pressure was on for Robert Englund’s return as the world’s scariest sweater enthusiast to…

The 3rd Entry in a Saga That Boasts The Rock and Dave Bautista as Alumni Slices It up on Streaming

The bad blood between Dave Bautista and Dwayne Johnson intensified after the Guardians of the Galaxy star fired another shot in the direction of his former WWE rival, which was just the latest in a long line of digs dating back years. It’s obvious that they’re never going to star in the same movie, but the inexplicably lengthy Scorpion King saga does at least give them a shared franchise. Of course, The Rock headlined the opening installment back in the summer of 2002, using his feature film debut in The Mummy Returns as…

Netflix Users Strike Gold With the 8th Entry in a Tedious Horror Franchise

As a general rule of thumb, almost every franchise under the sun will fall victim to the law of diminishing returns, and that becomes especially true when we’re talking about horror. Turning convention on its head, though, Leprechaun Returns proved to be the most acclaimed installment in the titular series, even though it marked the eighth installment. In fairness, none of the previous seven were exactly dripping in critical acclaim, but piggybacking on the Halloween-inspired craze to disregard canon in favor of a direct…

The 3rd Entry in an Interminable Spy Franchise Gears up on Streaming

Consistency is key when it comes to sustaining any long-running franchise with dreams of carrying momentum through multiple installments, but Rowan Atkinson’s Johnny English went about it in the most frustrating and interminable way possible. Each of the three films in the series performed almost identically among critics and at the box office, but that’s hardly a glowing compliment when the bar was set so low. Johnny English, Johnny English Reborn, and Johnny English Strikes Again secured respective Rotten Tomatoes…

One Piece Odyssey is a great entry point for the series

The One Piece series is no stranger to the world of video games. Throughout the years we’ve seen the popular manga and anime series become a multimedia giant, and that has taken it into the realm of gaming spin-offs. However, we’ve never truly seen it in the Japanese role-playing genre where it belongs. That’s changing next month with One Piece Odyssey. One Piece Odyssey - Gameplay Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games When I initially saw One Piece Odyssey, as both a huge series fan and role-playing game lover, I felt that…

With Phase Four Finished, the Time Has Come for Its Most Hated Entry to Finally Be Avenged

Phase Four is now officially over, and it seems fans have wasted no time in revisiting the Marvel Studios projects from the past couple of years and re-evaluating those that underwhelmed us upon their release. Unfortunately, the one at the top of that list has to be Black Widow, the would-be 2021 summer blockbuster that massively underperformed at a time when COVID was still ravaging the industry and, besides that, received a battering from disappointed MCU diehards. But as we head into Phase Five, and what with this…
