For many cinephiles, November becomes Noirvember, a month dedicated to noir. Noir is often characterized by its fatalistic outlook, highly stylized imagery, down on their luck and morally ambiguous protagonists, urban settings, shadows, corruption, narration, and the femme fatale.

Old school gamers of kaiju mayhem remember SNK’s King of the Monsters games. While they weren’t the deepest fighters, they did give us the dream of battling other kaiju in one-on-one battles.

Given that Diablo IV was already without a public release window, this should come as no surprise. Blizzard made the announcement after the Activision Blizzard third quarter calendar 2021 results conference

Film criticism has never been an exact science, and movie critics themselves are still fallible human beings.

Toho International, Inc. is celebrating Godzilla Day on Wednesday, November 3rd in several ways, and they’re even bringing the original classic back to theaters for the big day.

Michael Myers’ adventures in murdering babysitters have certainly changed since his silent and disturbing introduction in 1978. While John Carpenter introduced us to a more subdued yet equally terrifying Shape in his first film, the series would soon transform the white-masked menace into something more.
