Moon Studios, creators of the impeccable Ori and the Blind Forest, has finally held a showcase for its next game, No Rest for the Wicked. It details the world, combat, and what already feels like a gripping story drenched in darkness and brimming with depth. Until yesterday all we had to go on for Moon Studios’ next title was a short trailer that made it look more like a pirate title than anything else. The Wicked Inside: Showcase, a video packed with 25 minutes of gameplay and discussion on No Rest for the Wicked, has…

Private Division No Rest for the Wicked has a lot going for it. The upcoming action game already has me charmed me with its distinct sense of style. There’s just one thing that’s yet to win me over, and that’s its sometimes cruel gameplay. First teased by publisher Private Division at The Game Awards 2023, No Rest for the Wicked is wildly different from what the studio has made before. (The game spent six years in development at Ori and the Blind Forest developer Moon Studios, which has faced reports of misconduct.)…

Musicals are a tried and true genre in the film world, with a number of movie musicals winning Best Picture over the years. After Mean Girls' strong box office performance, the next of these movies will be Jon M. Chu's Wicked films. That pair of flicks will star Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, with the latter multitalent explaining how she transformed into Glinda for the role. What we know about Wicked is substantial, since the movies will adapt the Broadway musical of the same name. Anticipation is high, partly thanks…

Before X or Twitter or even YouTube, if you wanted to vent your rage at an unjust world on a blameless bystander you had to go to the trouble of actually writing a letter and posting it. These were the days of the poison pen letter, an early 20th-century socio-criminal phenomenon here revived by comedian Jonny Sweet’s gleefully sweary script and a competent ensemble of British comedy’s finest directed by Thea Sharrock.Swearwords, you see, can be very funny – especially when primly pronounced by a pious spinster such as…

That’s plenty enough to sustain this witty, joyously written piece of forgotten history, scripted by comedian Jonny Sweet. Colman plays Edith Swan, the Littlehampton resident who, in the early 1920s, found herself inundated with…

Unconvincing, unfunny and bafflingly heavy-handed, this shrill non-comedy fails to say anything entertaining or historically insightful about the true story of the Littlehampton poison-pen scandal of 1923. It’s a terrible waste of a stellar cast, headed by Olivia Colman, although the simple aggregation of everyone’s acting talent does raise the film a bit.Colman plays Edith Swan, a prim-and-proper spinster in the curtain-twitching world of 1920s Littlehampton, always congratulating herself on her Christian rectitude; she…

Ariana Grande has built such a mighty pop legacy over the past decade as one of the most consistently kicky hitmakers around — but also as one of the weirdest minds in the game. “Yes, And?” is her Number One comeback, a disco rage-queen anthem that raises expectations for her long-awaited return, Eternal Sunshine. It’s a brilliantly nasty manifesto to kick off the new Ariana era. She’s just hit her thirties, wrapping up her Saturn return, and she’s making music after a four-year layoff. But she’s got some nonholistic…
