First off, let’s take one part action pointless violence, one part science fiction confusing random alien encounter, and one part gooshy horror low-budget slime mess. Mix them all together in a big old pot of DVD plastic and half-bake the entire concept in a pan lined with the worst script you could find and the result is Disturbance, a big steamy pile of waste of our time....

Like someone at New Line decided, several months too late, to cash in on the surprising success of Snakes on a Plane. Meanwhile, Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane seems to be mostly about a flight about to be overrun by zombies due to a highly unauthorized, illegal, immoral, etc. project currently in the cargo hold....

The show felt like a breath of fresh air in an era when kid-centric sitcoms used to be highly sanitized and safe....

Nier is an eccentric franchise, to say the least. Originally a spinoff of the cult-classic Drakengard games, Nier flew under most people’s radars until 2017’s Nier: Automata came onto the scene. A critical and commercial smash hit, Automata combined intense combat, role-playing elements, and shooting sections with a compelling narrative that toyed with players’ expectations with every twist and turn. What made Automata especially noteworthy is how its story was structured, forcing the player to replay familiar scenarios from different perspectives in order to get a clearer image of the game’s plot....
