Is FOX's Gotham The Comic Book TV Series We Deserve?
I've wanted to watch Gotham for a while but I had quite a few mixed feelings about the show in general. I understood the premise, but I wasn't sure if it could actually achieve something as grandiose as what I've seen in other comic book based ventures ...ahem Daredevil. Regardless of my emotional hesitation, I tried and tried to sit down and watch Gotham, but I could never get going on it and eventually my DVR waited too long and my episodes vanished, only to make me believe that I would never be able to watch Gotham.

'Metal Gear Solid' Could Break the Video Game Film Curse With This Marvel Actor As Solid Snake
It's a common phrase in the gaming world — 'the video game movie curse' — because it seems as though every time a studio sets out to develop a major film based on a video game, it winds up being a disaster. Going all the way back to the early '90s with Super Mario Bros. there have only been a handful of video game adaptations that have exceeded mediocre reviews and reception, most of which have been considered critical and commercial flops over the last 30 years.

5 Of The Best Sci-Fi Movies Of the 90s
There are just some movies you can rewatch several times and never get bored, the ones that take you away from your everyday existence and into a fantasy world you wished you didn't have to leave after the credits rolled. That's what a good science fiction movie will do, and lately, I've been rewatching some of my favorites from the nineties. These are movies that, to me, will never be replaced.

The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale: Devastating Death Not Expected?
Showrunner and cast of the hit television series, The Walking Dead, have teased the introduction of a fan-favorite villain of the graphic novel series making his first appearance in the Season 6 Finale. Along with the introduction of said character, Showrunner Robert Kirkman has teased the "controversial" conclusion to the season 6 finale, hinting at a possible major character death before the end of the episode. SPOILER ALERT: Episode 14 of Season 6 on The Walking Dead saw the death of Dr. Denise Cloyd. Denise had become a series regular on the series but met her demise at the hands of Dwight, a member of the Saviors. Dwight has made a few appearances, and now looks to be a prominent member in Negan's band of Saviors. But Denise's death can't be considered a major character death, implying the death of a major character means the likeliest candidates to die in the Season 6 Finale are the characters who have been around the longest, then there's the characters whose graphic novel counterparts have died in events simultaneously taking place between the television series and the graphic novel timeline. However it needs to be stated that The Walking Dead television series has deviated from the source material of the graphic novels for which the television series is based on, and could completely take another direction when it comes to relatable events taking place on the television series. SPOILER ALERT: As made apparent in Episode 14 of Season 6, the scene wherein Dr. Denise takes an arrow through the eye by Savior, Dwight was portrayed slightly differently in the graphic novel companion. The graphic novel companion had an identical scene where the Saviors and Dwight attack, but Abraham is the one to die. Abraham takes an arrow through the eye, identical to the wound Denise takes which ultimately kills her. The difference in the graphic novel and the television series deviating in such a way presents some interesting repercussions for the remaining survivors, specifically for Abraham. With Abraham's graphic novel counterpart meeting his end, and his live incarnation played by Micheal Cudlitz avoiding his likely death; that puts Abraham's future at risk. Abraham has just made a drastic life decision to leave Rosita and approach Sasha because "life is too damn short". His arc on the television series is only beginning to develop which would put his death in Episode 14 at an inopportune timing on the program. Although deviating from the source material could be showrunner, Robert Kirkman's intention to throw fans off of his intention to kill Abraham in another manner. Abraham's death would be felt more deeply by the rest of the group if he solidifies his place in the group before the end of the season 6 finale, and then ends up being mercilessly killed by Negan or one of his Saviors. It's all possible and just puts Abraham's future up in the air.

Why 'Destiny 2' Is The Fresh Start Bungie Needs To Stay Relevant
The big gameplay reveal for Destiny 2 dropped last week and it was anything but a letdown, proving a defining moment for Bungie and signifying the start of a great year going forward for the FPS franchise. After all the issues, bugs and complaints with the first game in the series, Destiny was a fairly divisive game within the community. Some players loved it, some were indifferent, others found it abhorrent. I was somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed it on day one, but then once it became overpopulated and the raid/strike/Crucible grinds began, that's when I faded out because I'm very much a solo player.

Don't Close The Door Just Yet
Game of Thrones's sixth season quite literally blew us away in flaming green fireball, and the death of Kristian Nairn's Hodor was quite the talking point. We are only just beginning the long "winter" until Season 7 of #HBO's epic returns, but the sixth season may be worth a rewatch for more than just a refresher course.
