Borderlands film goes from disaster to farce as the guy who rigged Claptrap says neither he nor the model artist are credited

No self-respecting fan of the Borderlands video game franchise should give even two seconds of thought to the question of whether they ought to head to a movie theater this weekend to check out the film. That’s because the newly released adaptation of the beloved video game has something for everyone to hate — we’re talking god-awful CGI, bad writing, actors who are presumably just in it to collect a paycheck, and a knockoff Guardians of the Galaxy vibe that turns the whole thing into a just a sad, unmemorable bore.

Critics have slammed the upcoming Borderlands movie, calling it stale, lifeless, and generic.

Everybody hates the Borderlands movie

Eli Roth’s Borderlands movie adaptation sounds like a recipe for a solid sci-fi romp: Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett as the wise-cracking gunslinger Lilith; Jack Black as the quippy Claptrap; and even Jamie Lee Curtis. But according to Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar, it squanders the story potential and all that on-screen talent....

The Morning After: The Borderlands movie proves bad video game adaptations can still happen

Since the dawn of the R rating in the 1980s, it’s been a more limited stamp on a film’s box office prospects. There’s a much lower box office ceiling on R-rated movies than there is for those of the PG-13 variety, and thus Hollywood doesn't normally back R-rated ventures with the big budgets that accompany your standard PG-13 franchise-starter. That said, some R-rated films still manage to break out in a big way regardless of budget, striking a chord with audiences that spurs repeat business and strong word of mouth.

	Viggo Mortensen called out Amazon in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine for the company’s decision to scrap an extensive theatrical release for Ron Howard’s 2022 movie “Thirteen Lives” and give it a global streaming launch instead. Mortensen, who starred in the well-reviewed Thai cave rescue thriller opposite Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, said the film was a “really good movie” that MGM intended to give a full blown theatrical release to after “they did their test screenings for that movie and got the highest scores in the history of that studio.”Viggo Mortensen Hasn't Acted in a Hollywood Franchise After...

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Cats are known for their independent and sometimes aloof nature, but beneath that calm exterior, they often harbor deep affection for their human companions. While their love may not be as overt as a dog's, there are subtle signs that indicate your feline friend holds a special place for you in their heart. Here are the reasons why your cat secretly loves you more than anyone else.

Reasons Why Your Cat Secretly Loves You More Than Anyone Else

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

While Hollywood typically prefers to craft sequels to their mainstream properties, there’s something positive to be said about prequel films as well. Rather than following up on the immediate action of its predecessor, prequels add a new layer of depth to the pre-existing stories that came before it. Outfitting some of its series’ main characters with a nuanced backstory reflecting their past, present, and future selves, these movies have that rare ability to enrich the original film preceding it, all the while succeeding as its own self-contained narrative.

Eli Roth's Borderlands movie had a devastating box office debut amid negative reviews and fan reaction, but Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has found the silver lining.
