It was only a week or so ago that I finished watching Season 1 of Ozark on Netflix, it was something I stumbled upon while browsing the streaming service one evening and gave it a shot. I am so glad I did and then binge watched all 10 episodes within a week. (That’s binging for me)

As soon as I had finished I wanted to know about Season 2, when is it due to hit and are they even making it, and then I found out that Season 1 had only just been released in July. It could take ages for them to decide on a Season 2, so I spread the word to everyone I could, more people watching means more chance of getting another season we assume, although Netflix never release their viewer numbers for shows.

Rumours suggest that Bioware has secretly been working on a Knights Of The Old Republic game. Please be true...

Here's a hot new rumour for Star Wars fans to chew on: it's been suggested that BioWare (specifically their Austin branch) has been working in secret on some sort of revival of the Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic gaming series.

See related The Last Kingdom series 2 episode 4 review The Last Kingdom series 2 episode 3 review The Last Kingdom series 2 episode 2 review The Last Kingdom series 2 episode 1 review The Last Kingdom series 2: politics, battles and arselings

If you're unfamiliar, this much-beloved RPG franchise from Bioware debuted way back in 2003, with Knights Of The Old Republic ('KotOR' to its friends), an epic yarn set within the ancient history of the Star Wars universe, which allowed the player to choose either the dark side or the light,...

With a filmmaking career extending to 35 years, the Romanian-born, Israeli-raised director Shimon Dotan (Repeat Dive, The Finest Hour, You Can Thank Me Later) will bow his latest film in U.S. theaters next month. The Settlers present audiences with the harsh reality that Jewish people who live along the West Bank face today. After earning acclaim following its Sundance Film Festival debut and appearance at New York Film Festival, the U.S. trailer has now arrived.

“Partisans on both sides of the conflict will find plenty to argue with, as would be the case with almost any movie on this topic,” Variety‘s Ben Kenigsberg writes. “The real achievement here is in going beyond the buzzwords of newscasts and talking points to convey a sense of what’s happening on the ground — and to give it a sense of urgency.”

Check out the trailer below and return for our review ahead of the theatrical release.

When production began on Wonder Woman back in November, Warner Bros. confirmed a number of new supporting cast members, such as Robin Wright, Sa&#239d Taghmaoui, Elena Anaya and Lucy Davis, alongside the previously-announced Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. In the months that have followed, we haven't gotten confirmation about any of the supporting characters' identity, but it seems that another piece of the casting puzzle has come into place. Metro.uk has posted new photos from the London set, giving us our first look at Lucy Davis, who appears to be playing Etta Candy.

The site reports that the characters' identity has not been confirmed, but many have surmised this is who she's playing, given her red hair, costume and her friendship with Gal Gadot's Diana Prince. Both actresses are seen in London's Trafalgar Square, in a scene depicting Armistice Day (November 11, 1918), the day World War I ended.

From Bayonetta to Lara Croft, there are a good amount of female leads in games who are strong, intelligent, and badass. Unfortunately, most female sidekicks tend to be nothing more than eye candy or comedic relief. However, every once and a while we see a fantastic supporting female, like Alyx Vance or Liara T’soni, and once in a blue moon there’s the female sidekick who transcends the supporting role and becomes the star of the game.

Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong series)

Yes, Dixie is the star of Donkey Kong Country 3, but for the majority of the Dkc series she plays the role of sidekick. In both DKC2 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Dixie is easily the best Kong to play as. Her signature ability is to twirl her ponytail, which acts like a propeller on a helicopter, allowing her to hover a bit and gain good distance.

One of the many great things about being a horror fan boy and reviewing movies is finding these great little gems that go in your back pocket to pull out for those moments when you want to make a stellar, but obscure recommendation. A suggestion that will almost surely merit a response kind of like “That movie was awesome!

The fine folks over at Harris might be best known for their polling work during the lead-up to election season, but the company actually works year round, gauging public opinion on a wide variety of issues. This week, they decided to tackle the movie industry and more specifically, why people are or are not venturing out to the theater. Like most extremely detailed reports, this one is filled with a lot of numbers and pretty obvious revelations, but upon closer examination, it.s actually overflowing with a ton of fascinating information about how our movie-going habits are collectively changing and staying the same too. Luckily, rather than having to read all the graphics and jump to these conclusions yourself, I.ve gone through and picked out 5 fascinating little tidbits that point to larger trends.

EA Sports

I recently outlined something of a saga in my life, one that involved a Playstation 4, an excessive amount of my time, the virtual Wolverhampton Wanderers, and a copy of FIFA 14 by EA Sports.

And it was during that run that something was crystallized for me: there is a concrete process involved when it comes to how your mind consumes the soundtrack to an EA Sports game.

Though it was FIFA that led me to realize it, it was a mental recap of some two decades of being an EA connoisseur that truly cemented the epiphany. There is no question that the mind is conditioned to deal with the soundtrack of an EA Sports game in a very specific, structured manner.

Now that I’ve uncovered it, I’m sharing it with the world right here. For free.

The post 7 Stages Of Relating To...

don’t want to sound like a cynic, but few games surprise me anymore. I’m still quite young, but part of me feels like I have seen almost everything the gaming industry has to offer. There is the constant barrage of annual Fps games, the standard turn-based strategies, the uninspired action titles... all completely expected. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy Dishonored, Saints Row, and GTA, but none of them were out of the ordinary. I bought them looking for a specific experience, they delivered it, and I left relatively satisfied. The Stanley Parable is most definitely not one of those games.

Unfortunately, The Stanley Parable is a game I can’t say much about without completely ruining the entire thing. Here is what I can say. It is first person. You walk around. You click on objects to interact with them. You listen to the narrator.

My advance reading copy of Shivers VII didn’t include an introduction, and the table of contents gave no indication there would be one added to the finished and published edition. I’ve gotten used to anthologies leading off with some sort of mission statement or manifesto (sometimes, these missives are better than the stories that follow), but I guess hitting the seventh entry in a series indicates you know what you’re doing, and readers should know what to expect. After plowing through the 26 stories in Shivers VII, I’d say agree that no introduction is necessary. Like the six volumes before it, this is an anthology of rare quality, a collection of contemporary fiction that provides an excellent snapshot of where the genre stands today, and a roadmap to where it’s going. However, it’s important to remember where the genre came from even as it continues to move forward,...

Potential Spoilers Below These set images from Anthony Russo and Joe Russo’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” have been online for a while, but for one reason or another (mostly laziness) I’ve never gotten to posting them.

The only thing worse than the music they slap on these things are the inane voiceovers. You can thank me later. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will pick-up where “Marvel’s The Avengers” left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

Brian Michael Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man

By Logan Dalton

Brian Michael Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man is the book that got me into comics, and despite Miles Morales replacing Peter Parker as Spider-Man for good, it consistently remains one of the top books on my pull list. What draws me to the book each month is the solid mixture of well-written dialogue, interesting characters, a quick moving plot, and emotional draw. I have also enjoyed Sara Pichelli and now David Marquez’s art whether showing the character’s emotions through their facial cues, Miles’ awkward attempts at web-slinging,...

It’s been a while since I last harangued you, with musical acts that you should be ear-ingesting, and for that I am sorry. However, here I am again and here you are. To make up for my absence over these last few months, I return with an extra special selection of new music for you to have a listen to and love – whatever your taste.

Now, twelve new things might be a lot to take in all at once, but I assure it’ll be worth it, besides new music is officially good for you – I’m doing your brain a service here. You see, it would appear, some scientific studies have revealed that new music is both rewarding and beneficial for that wobbling mass of grey matter you have locked up in that skull of yours.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Streaming Dead, where I will be sharing with you some titles of note that have been added to Netflix Instant during the month of April 2012.

If you missed my initial post on what to expect from this column, you can read it here. However, if you don’t feel like reading that piece, the gist of it is that this column will feature three recommendations from the new crop of horror titles that are currently available for streaming via Netflix Instant: One “Featured” title from the latest additions to the streaming library; One title chosen from the many pre-existing titles that the service offers; One pick chosen from the titles that will be expiring within the next few weeks. Following those recommendations will be a quick rundown of several other horror-related titles that have recently been added or renewed that you may be interested in checking out.

NBC currently sits in 4th place in the ratings among the broadcast networks. The lowly last place is a tough place to be. Especially for a network that dominated just around a decade or two ago.

So it's hard to blame NBC for resorting to going back in time and giving viewers a taste of the good ol' NBC days. Hopefully fans forget how bad the network has screwed things up, NBC hopes no doubt.

One of the new pilots currently in contention for the 2012-2013 season is Downwardly Mobile, a sitcom starring Roseanne Barr. This will mark the actress' return to the network she helped rise to the top in the 90s with Roseanne. This past week, the travel back in time continued when it was reported that her Roseanne husband John Goodman would be joining her in Downwardly Mobile.

Although they won't be playing spouses (yet) in the new sitcom,...

What was your favorite quote from the episode?

Courtney: "There’s nothing more boring than a sense of morality, Humphrey." Classic Chuck Bass.

Christina: From Blair: “That is much more civilized, unlike your hair, Humphrey. You look like a Muppet.” I really just can’t get enough of the Dan jabs.

Leigh: Chuck to Dan in response to Dan doing some persuasion: "I have knee pads in the bedroom if you need them." First of all their banter kills me.

Never let it be said that Chris Alo, Ted Ledger and the rest of the crew over at the Hudson Horror Show rest on their laurels. Far from it. Already having a kick ass lineup of films slated for their fourth event, the boys decided to take it a step further and add a mystery sixth film to the day. Goddamn boys, how much horror can you expect to squeeze into one day? These guys might be approaching the all-time record.

Hudson Horror Show IV, fittingly entitled The December to Dismember, will be held in the Silver Cinema South Hills 8 in Poughkeepsie, NY on December 3. The day is absolutely packed with entertainment already, so where these guys think they're going to squeeze in another film is beyond me.

Finalists of NBC's "The Voice"

It worked for "American Idol" and "Glee," so why not "The Voice"? The hit NBC reality singing show that wraps its first season run on Wednesday will reportedly send its finalists on tour this summer for a string of dates featuring amateur vocalists Frenchie Davis, Beverly McClellan, Vicci Martinez, Dia Frampton, Nakia, Xenia, Casey Weston and Javier Colon, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Unfortunately for fans of the show who have fallen in love with the chemistry of celebrity judges Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, the stars will not be joining their protégés on the road. Quoting multiple unnamed sources, THR said that tour producer Live Nation negotiated to have the foursome join the outing, but talks broke down over compensation.

"The Voice" is taking its show on the road. NBC's hit singing competition is following in the footsteps of "American Idol" and sending its contestants out on tour this summer, in a move that will no doubt sustain interest in the series following its season finale on Wednesday. The tour hasn't officially been announced by the network yet, but musical coach Adam Levine tweeted, " @Javstwtr (aka Javier Colon) & @casey_weston are hitting the road in July for #TheVoice Live Tour. You can thank me later> I'll thank u now bro." Levine coaches...

It looks like NBC’s The Voice is about to (wisely) steal a page from American Idol by sending its contestants on tour.

I hesitated posting the first bit of news this week in regards to the new cable series "Powers" and "100 Bullets" simply because they aren't very well-known outside of the more hardcore comics community. Which is kind of strange, really, considering they would be good fodder for recruiting n00bZ into the fold. Hence TV adaptations, perhaps?

Well, now I feel comfortable in relaying that Jason Patric, he of Speed 2: Cruise Control, has been cast in FX's "Powers" as co-lead Christian Walker. The original comic, created by living legends in the field Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, follows the lives and cases of two cops, partners Det. Walker and Deena Pilgrim, as they investigate crimes involving "capes" -- those civilians with super powers and who do not abide by Spider-Man's number one rule. Patric joins Lucy Punch as Deena Pilgrim (she of the line, "Shut the front door,...

Hey! Guess what?! The Twilight Saga: Eclipse won best movie at the MTV Movie Awards! In fact, it won most of the awards, beating out real films like The Social Network, Inception and Black Swan.

Considering I’m a sucker for quirky American comedies, it’s no surprise that Sol Tryon’s immensely enjoyable indie feature “The Living Wake” was one of my favorite discoveries from 2010.

Back in October, we brought you the exclusive news that Godzilla was returning to comics — and he was bringing a whole mess of monsters with him. Today, Idw Publishing has revealed the creative team that will handle Godzilla's new adventures, and offered up a brand new cover image for the series.

Scripted by "Goon" creator Eric Powell and Tracy Marsh, the newly retitled "Godzilla: Monster World" will feature art by Phil Hester ("Green Arrow," "Firebreather") and painted covers by Powell and Alex Ross. According to Idw, the series unfolds in a world where "the monsters are a force of nature whose attacks can be no more predicted or rationalized than a lightning strike. There will be no clean-cut heroes with perfectly chiseled chins and capes billowing in the wind; only ordinary human beings struggling desperately to survive in a world gone mad."

"Godzilla: Monster World" #1 will hit shelves in March 2011.

Miami — For Drake, even as the venues get bigger, his performances grow more intimate.

On the second date of his Light Dreams and Nightmares Tour — the sophomore headlining trek for the Toronto lyricist following his Away From Home outing earlier this year — Drake was ever the gentleman, as he catered to a single invited guest onstage at the James L. Knight Center, despite all of the shrieks from the sold-out crowd.

"Stay right there," he told concertgoer Veronica. "Let me take my time."

With that, Drake casually walked over to the young woman, took her hand and began slow-dancing with her. "Hold on," he shouted to the audience, pausing only a minute in. "If you have a camera on your phone,...

You can thank me later or send me one of those internet get well cards to Wil@horroryearbook.com. I'm not kidding someone better send me a damn card! I'm in a lot of pain and miserable.

Codeblack Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights to Thomas Ikimi’s thriller Legacy starring Idris Elba, with a late 2010 release planned.

The film, which we’ve discussed a bit on this blog, most recently won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 American Black Film Festival, which wrapped up last weekend, after making its U.S. debut at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, which is where I saw the film. I reviewed it afterward, and you can read that review Here.

And while we haven’t put out a press release yet, I’m happy to leak out the fact that we will be screening the film here in New York City, in August, as part of the ActNow New Voices In Black Cinema Screening Series, which I’m a curator of, as long-time readers of this blog will be know. A formal announcement is forthcoming… But, if you live in NYC,...

I know, I know — “Dinocroc vs. Supergator” is complete garbage, and shouldn’t be covered by any discerning film fanatic. However, the three spiffy clips and a trailer I’ve lovingly provided below are undeniably funny, especially if you absolutely adore the motion pictures that make their worldwide debut on SyFy. Of course, if the names Roger Corman and Jim “Return of the Swamp Thing” Wynorski mean nothing to you whatsoever, perhaps this isn’t the film for you. The rest of us, on the other hand, have much to be excited about. June 26th cannot get here soon enough. Watch the trailer first, then move directly to the aforementioned clips. You can thank me later if you so choose.

We tried really hard to find you a clip from "Black Dynamite" to share here on the blog, but there's really nothing that could get through standards. In other words: this is not a movie for kids.

What it is is one of the funniest films of 2009, a personal Sundance favorite of mine and one of the sharpest genre parodies the industry has seen in quite some time. In this extra, we see co-writer/star Michael Jai White and writer/director Scott Sanders discussing the film's blaxploitation roots. White specifically references era superstar Jim Brown as one of his personal inspirations for the Black Dynamite character.

Seriously... see this movie now. You can thank me later.

Netflix’s Instant Watch service is a godsend for movie-watchers, stateside. For as little as $9 per month, you have instant access to a vast selection of movies, old and new. No need to wait for them to send you the next DVD in your queue. Just fire up the old computer, head to Netflix.com, find what you’re looking for, and click the button to immediately watch!

It’s even better if you have a TV to connect your computer/laptop to, or an Internet-ready TV set, so you’re not limited to the size of your PC monitor.

Initially, Netflix’s Instant Watch selection was quite limited; however, they’ve been doing an incredible job of loading up with thousands of new and classic movies online, and there’s more than enough currently there to...

Oh, you're so welcome, too. You're going to love this one. It's just what you asked Santa for.

You remember that time you sat on his lap, and you felt a weird protuberance? Yeah. That's what watching this trailer feels like -- being molested by a fat man in a Santa suit with whiskey and sausage breathe.

This decade's Secret Shames are, more often than not, the next decade's Hangover Theater films. It's a decade-long process, really. Movies debut on the screen to terrible reviews, eventually get aired on television cable on a loop, and then viewers inexplicably get caught up in them, revel in their atrociousness, and a consensus begins to form until films once thought to be terrifically heinous can be collectively appreciated on the so-bad-it's good scale. The next thing you know, it's in your DVD collection, and you're waking up on a Saturday morning covered in your own drool and begging your roommate to pop in fucking Joe Dirt because you can't bear anything more intelligent.

Over the years, Secret Shames have been a popular topic on Pajiba -- it takes an intelligent audience, I suppose, to own up to their guilty pleasures without fear of reproach. And as someone familiar with thousands...

Without pandering to fans and without alienating them completely, Bassett has managed to take a fun, dark character and introduce him to a larger audience by concentrating on making a great film while focusing on the tone of Solomon Kane - who he is and what his world look like.
