Annabelle Comes Home picks up right after the prologue to The Conjuring, but its ending takes place before the remainder of the film. Following the success of the first Conjuring in 2013, Warner Bros. and New Line decided to move forward with a prequel based around the movie’s evil Annabelle doll titled, well, Annabelle. And when that film went on to become a commercial hit too, the studios were quick to green-light another prequel - this one referred to as Annabelle: Creation - that revealed both who built the wicked toy and how it became demonically-inclined to begin with....

When the Watchmen movie hit theaters, it revealed a vast chasm between comic book movies and the comics themselves.

Homefront: The Revolution delivers an interesting premise: liberating America from foreign occupants building on the first title that told a story of an invasion from North Korean forces. It unapologetically played out as a reminder of Red Dawn and portrayed some interesting ideas but was greeted with a lukewarm response when it hit PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles over five years ago. So it was somewhat surprising when a sequel was announced and that it was to be an open-world experience, this time from developer Crytek (Crysis) who salvaged the project even after publisher THQ went bankrupt....

The discussion when it comes to animal companionship in the Harry Potter series often centers around owls, cats, and toads. If the discussion evolves beyond this, questions and comparisons between a person Patronus and their Animagus form come up. Here we are going to look beyond the wizarding world into the world of Philip Pullman’s, His Dark Materials. What daemon might each Harry Potter character possess? Would a daemon match a Patronus or an Animagus?...
