Negan Is Back And Lucille Is Still Thirsty In ‘Tekken 7: Season Pass 2’!

The most infamous and popular villain from AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Negan and his barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat Lucille are making a comeback in the fighting game “Tekken 7: Season Pass 2“. Tekken is a fighting game series that was popular back in the arcade days before it came into our homes as console games. The game is known for its large roster of anime-like characters with unique abilities and finishing moves. “Tekken 7” is already out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC but “Season Pass 2” (which can be bought separately if you already own the game or bundled with the game when you buy it) will be bringing back some popular characters from the game’s past and introducing Negan. Negan’s release date is unknown at this time but it’s safe to say his introduction to the game will be just as dramatic as it was for “The Walking Dead”.

Movie Review: The Meg

Out of the big blockbuster films of 2018, one of the films I’ve most looked forward to seeing was The Meg. I’m a sucker for sharks and even have a few Megladon teeth in my collection. So, when The Meg arrived on Blu-ray this week I was psyched to finally get my hands on a copy. I had high hopes for the movie from the first time I learned that it was coming and I was not disappointed. The film opens with action star Jason Statham on a mission to rescue sailors from a sub. Unfortunately, he had to leave a few men behind t save the life of those already on the rescue vessel. Just as the rescue sub pulls away something big hits the wrecked sub and blows it up. Blamed by his co-workers for the lost lives of the men he left behind Statham’s character Jonas trades in his life for a life of intoxication. His permanent

Jacob Tremblay Reunites With Director Mike Flanagan For Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’

Child actor Jacob Tremblay has already made a name for himself, starring in films like Before I Wake, Shut In, and The Predator. Now, the young man will reunite with Before I Wake director Mike Flanagan for Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep, though his role in the adaptation has yet to be announced. Tremblay joins previously announced cast members Ewan McGregor (Danny Torrance), Alex Essoe (Wendy Torrance), and Rebecca Ferguson (Rose). On highways across America, a tribe of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Doctor Sleep is aiming for a January 2020 release date. As soon as we know more we’ll give you an update.
