When Microsoft acquired developer Compulsion Games in 2018, all eyes were on the studio to see what it could deliver at the release of its last game, “We Happy Few.” Compulsion Games had something special and intriguing with the game’s narrative premise, set in a dystopia where everyone took drugs to stay happy. However, the early access approach fell short as feature creep began to set in with survival mechanics and roguelike elements. Now, Compulsion Games is back with “South of Midnight,” a single-player action-adventure game that’s reminiscent of the PlayStation 2 era, when platformer games reigned supreme. Its linear…

When he died on Tuesday at age 65 of pneumonia, everyone had their image of Val Kilmer at hand to personally mourn. There was the wonderfully showy Juilliard valedictorian, the youngest actor ever accepted into the prestigious school, the young Brando who made his method bona fides known with theatrical, physical turns in “Tombstone,” “The Doors,” and “Wonderland.” There was the steely, isolated professional who shunned Hollywood’s pleasantries and erased his natural charisma in films like “Heat” and “Spartan”, men who saw through the machinery while becoming one with it. But there’s a reason that so many people were quick…
Medical dramas were a TV staple in previous decades, but it feels like they’ve taken a backseat in a procedural world overrun with firefighters and police officers. However, in the last year, the tables have turned, with NBC’s “St. Denis Medical” and HBO’s “The Pitt” becoming more popular each week they air. Hospital-set dramas can feel a bit formulaic at times, especially when they go on for decades and twist between focusing on medical cases and romances until both threads feel like they’re going to burst. Thankfully, this isn’t the case for Netflix’s first English-language medical drama, which is a…
Adi Shankar is the person that video game publishers call when they are interested in adapting their beloved franchises to animated television. After revitalizing “Castlevania” for Konami and blending all the Ubisoft franchises into the neon-drenched retro remix “Captain Laserhawk,” Shankar and company have hit the jackpot with Capcom’s “Devil May Cry,” now on Netflix. The hack-and-slash video game series about Dante, a white-haired demon hunter with a Hot Topic attitude, is the perfect candidate for Shankar’s demented, graphically violent worlds. His take is a gleefully violent, high-octane action adaptation with a punk edge. Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch; funny casting…

So I guess this is, like, a sixth night at Freddy’s? Five more nights at Freddy’s? Five additional nights at Freddy’s?Maybe I’m overthinking this. Universal is simply calling it Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. That’s probably the right call for this sequel to the surprisingly huge film adaptation of the video game franchise. (The second Five Nights at Freddy’s video game was also called Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.)The first film came out in 2023, and despite being released in theaters and on streaming on Peacock simultaneously, it became a major hit, grossing nearly $300 million worldwide. That’s an almost unheard of sum for a film that’s available…
