A while ago we got the chance to review an Elderwood Academy Chest with the Acquisitions Incorporated logo on the top We were mighty impressed with the look and design of it, so we wanted to see what else the group had in store This time around we're reviewing one of their awesome Spellbook game[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The Predator features a fantastic cast that is wasted with a production that was hacked to the bone in post production Director: Shane Black Summary: When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe's most lethal hunters' return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of[...]

The second pair of dice we received for review from Die Hard Dice blew us away as we got to play with some of the Gold Emerald metal dice from the Gemstone Collection We'd seen them in display a few times before but had always gravitated to different sets for our characters So how well[...]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of FXX's long-running comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; as the series steamrolls through its hopefully lucky 13th season, we're taking a look at the season's second episode 'The Gang Escapes.' Nothing against Cindy (Mindy Kaling) because I feel like we're going to see her again, and her insane[...]

Did I say it's great? No, but it's a blast of a popcorn ride. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] In a similar fashion to most of the franchise, The Predator isn't really a horror film At best it's a thriller, but mostly it's action We know all about the alien's abilities and bag of tricks, so we don't really get[...]

truck, the pair were reunited with Morgan (Lennie James) and met new "friends": Jim (Aaron Stanford), Wendell (Daryl Mitchell), and Sarah (Mo Collins).  What they don't know (at least not yet) is that Tonya Pinkins' mysterious stranger is far from being their friend – and she has some very interesting theories on what our heroes need to[...]

Ninety minutes later, I was just glad it was over. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] The film centers on the discovery of a young nun at a cloistered abbey who has taken her own life The Vatican dispatches a "miracle hunter" priest (played by Demián Bichir) and a novitiate (played by Taissa Farmiga) who is on the threshold of her[...]

But did those revelations bring answers that Henry and Molly (Melanie Lynskey) – and the town of Castle Rock – won't be able to survive? To see if what we learned made the trip to Castle Rock worth taking – and staying with for the season finale – check out our review of Castle Rock s01e09 'Henry[...]

AMC Welcome to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead season 4, this time with our thoughts on the season's 12th episode, 'Weak'. So Morgan's (Lennie James) decided to try for the best of both worlds: use his new "frenemies" to scoop up the folks he left back in Texas, drop off some safety[...]

As we can see from the preview for this week's penultimate episode 'Henry Deaver', those revelations might bring answers that Henry, Molly (Melanie Lynskey), and even the town of Castle Rock itself won't be able to survive: Try to escape #CastleRock, and it will pull you even deeper Just ask Henry Deaver Episode 9 streams Wednesday,[...]

Combining elements from a number of Stephen King's works into a "shared universe" narrative that's based around the (in)famous fictional town, Castle Rock stars Andre Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Melanie Lynskey, Sissy Spacek, Jane Levy, Scott Glenn, Terry O'Quinn, Noel Fisher, Chosen Jacobs, and Allison Tolman.

Another box we received late this time around was the Loot Gaming box from Loot Crate in July. Well, late is better than never, right?

The next set of items we received from Jinx for the summer was a set of awesome t-shirts with a whole new set of designs and prints.

The next article of clothing we're taking a crack at from Jinx was this awesome blue hoodie they sent us for review they called the Endgame Zip-Up Hoodie While it may not be totally ideal for us to review it while it's scorching hot outside, fall is slowly approaching and we need something to bundle us[...]

AMC Welcome to Bleeding Cool's weekly review of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead season 4, this time with our thoughts on the season's eleventh episode 'The Code.' After a weak mideseason start, FTWD threw the second-half of the season back into quality overdrive thanks to Alycia Debnam-Carey and Alexa Nisenson's performances in 'Close Your Eyes'[...]

They have a pretty impressive line and we were lucky enough to receive two sets for review The first ones we're going to talk about are the Forge Dice set, specifically the Raw Steel set in Paragon Blue. First off, take a good look at the care and quality that went into making what are essentially heavy[...]

In what might be one of the best viral marketing campaigns for Hulu's Castle Rock (???), the staff at The Stanley Hotel had an unexpected guest on Thursday.

Unfortunately it turned out to be the insides of a waterlogged puppet — soggy, mushy, and without any heart. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Brian Henson's production company Henson Alternative produced The Happytime Murders for their first feature film, with Brian himself serving as director along with a script by Todd Berger. In the film's mythos, puppets exist in the world — and[...]

The Happytime Murders somehow goes for the laziest possible jokes while also trying way too hard to be crude. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Director: Brian Henson Summary: When the puppet cast of an '80s children's TV show begin to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet takes on the case. The Happytime Murders has been in development[...]

All of that took a back seat to the big, fat cliff we were left hanging from by the end of the episode: Pangborn (Glenn) realized his deal with "The Kid" (Skarsgard) was less about help and more about payback — and as we nervously ease into our review of Hulu's seventh episode, 'The Queen,' it appears his[...]

However, times have changed, and now we can come across little gems like Prodigy, a laser-focused psychological thriller from first time feature writing and directing team of Brian Vidal and Alex Haughey. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] The story would find itself an easy drop in for fans of twisted tale series like Black Mirror and Twilight Zone[...]

Castle Rock co-creators Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason are giving viewers a list of four of Stephen King's works that heavily influenced the series.

In a similar vein to other recent "it's about time" cinematic entries like Wonder Woman and Black Panther, its overall impact with its virtually entirely Asian casting on the current sociological landscape will probably take a while to fully distance comparing the film's impact from the simple question of how good of a film it[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Alpha feels like an independent feature in the best and worst ways; it's wonderfully acted but poorly paced. Director: Albert Hughes Summary: An epic adventure set in the last Ice Age, ALPHA tells a fascinating, visually stunning story that shines a light on the origins of man's best friend. Alpha is a movie that mainstream studios don't[...]
