Assassin S Creed Trailer Michael Fassbender Battles The Video Game Movie Curse

‘Assassin’s Creed’ Trailer: Michael Fassbender Battles The Video Game Movie Curse By Angie Han/Oct. 18, 2016 6:20 am EST Michael Fassbender may be able to fly and bend metal as Magneto in the X-Men movies, but he stands to pull off an even more impressive feat in his last film of the year, Assassin’s Creed: convincing audiences that a video game movie can actually be good. Okay, perhaps we’re being a bit unfair – Warcraft definitely had its moments, even if it was kind of a mess overall, and The Angry Birds Movie was a bonafide box office hit — but the fact remains that on the whole, audiences have had very good reason to be skeptical about video game movies for a very long time....

An All Female Lord Of The Flies Remake Is In The Works Written By Two Men

Violence and Masculinity in Golding’s Lord of the Flies Despite Twitter’s tendency toward knee-jerk reactions to news, there were some well-worded criticisms of the Siegel and McGehee-helmed Lord of the Flies. While Golding set out to make his book about the brutality inherent in men when divorced from civilization and not just a commentary on gender, it’s hard to separate the story from what it does say about toxic masculinity in a modern context — and from the context from which it was written in the 1950s....
