Malice

1993’s Malice is your typical thriller, except for the fact that everyone involved isn’t typical at all. Written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, The Newsroom, and Sports Night) and Scott Frank (Out of Sight, the underrated Heaven’s Prisoners, and The Lookout) and starring Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman, and Bill Pullman, the story takes an expected number of twists and turns down a dark road until the truth is fully revealed. And you also may have heard of its cinematographer Gordon Willis who shot a little series known as The Godfather Trilogy.

The story centers around a young couple (Pullman and Kidman) whose lives are shattered when their friend (Baldwin) operates on her making a mistake in surgery that costs her the ability to have children. The fallout for the couple and the doctor leads to grief, a lawsuit, and the husband to begin looking into a situation that he discovers is far more complicated than he ever imagined.

Continuum - Lost Hours

Continuum begins its shortened final season with a big shift for its heroine. By last season’s finale Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) had finally come to terms with helping to create a better future than the one she was separated from. The arrival of Brad‘s (Ryan Robbins) fellow soldiers from an even bleaker future controlled by Kellog (Stephen Lobo) who knock the Protector into a hallucinatory reunion with her son reignites Keira’s desire to make it back home. It’s a pretty quick one-eighty (even if it may be necessary given the limited time remaining to wrap-up the show’s various storylines), and it also stunts some of Kiera’s growth as a character over the past couple of seasons.

The Wicked + The Divine #14

/ / Comics

The Wicked + The Divine #14Writer Kieron Gillen’s attempt at a “remix issue,” The Wicked + The Divine #14 is a pause before the storm covering the major events of the series from an alternative point of view. From the perspective of Woden we see larger plans of Ananke unfold as the issue confirms the head of the Pantheon was responsible not only for Lucifer‘s death but also for framing the god for the very public murder of a judge.

Along with giving us a look into the demented mind and sexual perversions of Woden, the issue also foreshadows a tiny rebellious sliver of the character who may yet turn out to be more than just Ananke’s pet.

JumanjiAdapted from the award-winning book of the same name, 1995’s Jumanji centers around a magical board game where jungle-themed events from inside the game become real forcing the players to finish the game to properly reset the increasing disaster the game creates in the real world.

The players are young Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter Shepherd (Bradley Pierce) whose discovery of the game frees Alan Parrish (Robin Williams), a previous player who was trapped in the game for 26 years. Along with Alan’s childhood friend (Bonnie Hunt), the group will attempt to survive the mayhem and finish the game.

Released in a new 2oth Anniversary Blu-ray, Jumanji holds up pretty well after 20 years, although some of the film’s special effects have aged better than others. Extras include episodes of Jumanji TV series, trailer, special effects commentary, new featurettes, and a digital copy of the movie.
