Little Brother, starring John Cena and Eric André, offers a blend of ridiculous humor and heart, though it treads familiar comedic grounds. With a review score of 7, it's a decent, if not outstanding, watch. Cena's tightly-wound character contrasts well with André's calamity-prone role, making for some genuinely funny moments.
Jackass: Best and Last, hitting theaters June 26, serves as a nostalgic farewell to the long-running series, blending new stunts with a "greatest hits" approach. While the new material feels somewhat contained compared to its predecessors, the film's heartfelt sendoff and previously unseen archival footage make for a satisfying, if flawed, conclusion. With a review score of 7, it's a must-see for die-hard fans.
Catch the Amazon Prime Day deal on Kirby Air Riders for Nintendo Switch 2, now 30% off at $49.94, featuring its unique Road Trip and City Trial modes. This kart racer offers a distinct experience from Mario Kart World, with a focus on battle-oriented gameplay and a dedicated single-player story mode. Whether you're a fan of Kirby or kart racing, this deal is a steal for Switch 2 owners looking for a fun, action-packed game.
Despite its ambitious concept, "In the Hand of Dante" squanders its potential with a languid narrative and observational aesthetic, failing to deliver on its promise of exploring the depths of Dante Alighieri's inspiration. With a star-studded cast, the film attempts to weave two timelines but ends up with a disjointed, overly long 153-minute slog. The movie's inability to coherently connect its dueling narratives and themes leaves viewers with a sense of unfulfilled potential.
Supergirl, the latest in James Gunn's DCU, hits theaters with mixed reviews, praising Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El but criticizing the film's derivative and messy execution. Despite its action-packed narrative, Supergirl fails to match the uniqueness of its lead character, often feeling like a generic, VFX-driven blockbuster. Alcock's portrayal is the standout, making the movie worth watching amidst its shortcomings.
Netflix's upcoming horror game, Unhinged, developed by Oxenfree, offers a uniquely immersive mobile experience blending a fictional in-game phone interface with a chilling narrative, starring Zoë Kravitz and Sadie Sink. This first-person horror game leverages your device as an in-game tool, complete with a crucial flashlight mechanic. With a playtime of around 20-40 minutes and a release set for June 30, Unhinged is poised to captivate both core gamers and newcomers alike.
"The Get Out", starring Russell Crowe, hits select theaters on June 26 and Digital/On Demand on June 30, but fails to capture the essence of its underworld crime caper ambitions. Despite Crowe's vibrant performance, the film's narrative shortcomings and lack of clever spark make it a "parade of half-measures". With a promising but underutilized cast, including Aaron Paul and Nina Dobrev, the movie's dry and toothless storytelling overshadows its potential.
Robo Rally Dice, a spin-off of the 1994 programmed movement game RoboRally, introduces fresh mechanics like custom dice rolling and a time pressure system, offering a unique twist that mostly works. Despite some drawbacks with upgrade cards and scalability issues, it's an enjoyable, chaotic experience. With its blend of strategy and luck, Robo Rally Dice is a worthy addition to the series.
Olivia Wilde's "The Invite", a remake of the 2020 Spanish original "Sentimental", showcases artistic maturity with its intense portrayal of a dysfunctional marriage. Starring Seth Rogen and Wilde, the film excels in capturing the awkwardness and tension of its characters. However, it falters in its climax, leaving a somewhat dissatisfying yet hauntingly relatable conclusion.
X-Men: Elsewhen, a personal project from legendary creator John Byrne, reimagines the X-Men comics as if Byrne had continued his work post-1981. This series of graphic novels, now officially partnered with Marvel and Abrams ComicArts, offers a unique glimpse into an alternate X-Men universe. With Vol. 1 available, fans can experience Byrne's fresh, yet nostalgically rooted, take on beloved characters.
