Added: 29.05.2015 15:21 | 5 views | 0 comments


Steven Spielberg's 1975 classic Jaws is returning to theaters this summer to mark the iconic film's 40th anniversary. The movie will be screened at around 500 theaters across the United States on June 21 and June 24. You can visit

“Jaws is a classic thriller enjoyed by generations and it is ready for a comeback," Fathom Events vice president of programming Kymberli Frueh-Owens said in a statement. "Movie buffs will love seeing their favorite killer shark larger than life on the big screen. No risk of shark bite!"

The movie, based on the Peter Benchley novel, is set in the normally peaceful fictional town of Amity Island in New York. But one summer, a massive great white shark starts killing swimmers. Roy Schneider's character, sheriff Martin Brody, hunts down the beast alongside an oceanographer played by Richard Dreyfuss.

Things don't go well.

Meet the cast of Assassin#39;s Creed Syndicate

Added: 14.05.2015 18:30 | 28 views | 0 comments


It's been eight years now since we got our first glimpse of a guy with a medieval hoodie and a knife up his sleeve, and oh how the Assassin's Creed family has grown since then. Pulling from every era from the beginning of time to the Apple Watch, this series has a cast list of hundreds, and the is about to add even more names to the guest list when it launches next fall.

This is where you'll find Syndicate's full cast list as it's unveiled, from fictional folks to historical figures, less than ten years old to two years before death. Go ahead and take a look, and see who you'll be trusting with your digital life.

The thick-necked and brash male lead of Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Jacob is at his best when he's introducing Templar thugs to the business end of his fists. An Assassin born in 1847 and brought up in the Brotherhood, he makes a pilgrimage to London with his twin sister Evie in 1868 to wrestle the city out of the Templars' industrial iron grip. Seeing the value of London's criminal underground and the of power it wields, Jacob is quick to suggest bringing the fight to the gangs themselves, taking over their territory and bringing thugs with little loyalty to the Templar cause under the Assassin banner.

Jacob prefers a direct and brutal approach to negotiation, using brass knuckles and short, concealed knives as his primary tools. While the fact that he punches first and asks questions later might make it seem like he has a one-track mind, in early trailers he appears to be quite the dreamer. Motivated by a poetic desire to liberate the underprivileged from tyranny, he's every bit the idealist, and the first visionary Assassin we've seen in years.

Every good criminal enterprise needs a proper strategist. While her brother Jacob may talk big, Evie is the business mind behind their gang, The Rooks, and knows what it will take to keep other enemy groups from seizing their hard-won territory. She's easily the more down-to-earth and subtle of the two, and that's reflected in her fighting style, which favors stealth and subterfuge. In Syndicate's first gameplay demo, we see her slip into an enemy stronghold without its legion of guards (or her own brother) noticing her until she knocks the gun out of a Templar's hand with a single throwing knife. Don't give her any sass, or she'll quietly kill you from the doorway.

While Evie is an equal partner to Jacob (and equally playable), at this point we don't know as much about her as we'd like; Ubisoft has claimed it wants to focus on the Frye twins one at a time. The spotlight will apparently be on Evie at Gamescom 2015, and formation will be doled out over the summer. Keep your eyes and ears open - it's always a good strategy.

Though Jacob waxes poetic about "rising from the ashes of an old Brotherhood", he and Evie apparently aren't alone in their endeavors. Henry Green's only present for a short cutscene as the demo kicks off, but that's enough to establish him as a more cautious character than either twin, adamantly opposed to two "building an army" of the city's criminal crowd.

Sporting noticeably different garb than either Jacob or Evie, it's possible that Henry comes from a different nation's Assassin band (maybe Egypt, given that his Assassin gauntlet is similar to the one worn by ), and came to help the English Assassins regroup. Alternatively, he could be part of a splinter-group that managed to escape whatever led to the eradication of the British Assassins in the first place. Either way, he's much more focused on being discreet, and I suspect he has very good reason to be.

Would a tale set in Victorian London really feel right with an adorable child around to be a scamp and feed the hero information? We’re probably not going to find out in Syndicate, from the look of Clara. Though we've only seen her for a split second so far, she spends that moment passing Jacob intelligence about the Rooks' rival gang, the Blighters, apparently gathered through her own reconnaissance. Then she immediately goes for what's left of Jacob beer before Henry stops her, the little rapscallion.

As unassuming as she may look, the information she gets on the Blighters and their Templar captain was something the Assassins weren't even close to uncovering according to Henry, so clearly this girl isn't to be underestimated. And hey, maybe she deserves some of that beer for her efforts. Come on Henry, this is the industrial revolution. She's probably had a longer workday than you have.

A fearsome Templar captain with a very silly name, Bloody Nora is the leader of the Blighters, a powerful street gang that pays allegiance to the Assassins' greatest enemies. As the resident Templar controlling City of London (the borough, not the whole town), she's one of Jacob and Evie's foremost targets, because taking her out means taking control of her entire territory.

So far it's uncertain if she'll actually play a large part in the story or not - she could just as easily be a pivotal character or a glorified pincushion. However, we don't see her go down with her thugs during the demo's conclusive gang war, so it's entirely possible she lives to fight another day.

Father of evolutionary theory and owner of one of history's most magnificent beards, Charles Darwin is perhaps the most famous scientific figure of the 17th century, so naturally our Assassin heroes are going to meet him in person. Given that Syndicate is set in the thick of Darwinism's rise and two years after Charles re-emerged into the public eye (after a four-year bout of medical seclusion), we'll get to see the man at the height of his popularity - and susceptibility to Templar scheming.

Revealed as part of a pre-order bonus mission called The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy (I wonder who else might show up!), Darwin will act as a recurring character that the twins can interact with in the open world. In addition, he'll be a regular giver of quests, probably like Leonardo da Vinci in Assassin's Creed 2 or Ben Franklin in 3. I suspect we'll be recovering some critical samples stolen from his laboratory. For science!

In a completely unexpected turn of events, Charles Dickens will also be joining the Syndicate cast, which seems appropriate, as he on the suffering of the working class in Industrial London. In contrast to Darwin, we can expect to see Dickens in the last years of his life, after the publication of all his most famous works and right at the start of the 'farewell' book tour he conducted before his death in 1870. Cheery!

Before you go thinking that you'll just be collecting missing pages from Great Expectations for an oblivious old man, it's worth noting that Dickens' life had its share of suspiciously Assassin-y happenings. Like in 1860, when he made a bonfire of all his personal correspondences, or how he survived a horrible train crash in 1865 and managed to save some folks caught in the wreckage. Or what about the fact that he joined a famous society of paranormal investigation, and kept his affair with a mysterious woman named Ellen Tenran secret for years? Something tells me he experienced some best of times and worst of times with the English Assassin Order.

18 Pretty Great Bloodborne Weapons and Armor Sets

Added: 25.04.2015 2:09 | 9 views | 0 comments


1. The Saw Cleaver



This is the best weapon to use as training wheels when you start your quest. It's pretty lightweight, so it allows you to run in and thrash on your enemies without tuckering out. You may graduate to better weapons as you continue, but when you're naked and afraid the saw cleaver will see you through.


2. Hunter Armor Set



You can purchase the Hunter armor early on, but you can also drop into the sewers before you face the first boss to snatch a set for free. It's got different stats than the Bath Messenger's Yharnam Hunter set too! Every bit helps when you start out so weak.


3. The Hunter Axe



The Hunter Axe is another early weapon, but you can hold onto it for a long time by fortifying it with blood stones and gems. It's got incredible reach, and enough devastating power to stun most enemies with a full charge. Once you learn to time its heavy swings, you become an unstoppable force.


4. Father Gascoigne's Armor Set



After wailing against an impenetrable boss for hours, nothing's more satisfying than wearing the clothes off his back. You can purchase them when your Insight hits 10 from the Insight Bath Messenger hidden in the Hunter's Dream.


5. The Repeating Pistol



This fella can be tough to manage since it sucks up your ammo at 2 bullets a shot. It's worth it to have in your arsenal though. For stunning giant targets, accept no substitute. You can purchase it after defeating the first boss.


6. Doll Armor Set



As you get deeper into Bloodborne you'll quickly realize armor doesn't carry the same weight it did in the Souls games (literally and figuratively). While you can mix and match sets to min/max stats for particular situations, you'll ultimately find the sets to be fairly balanced and mostly a matter of fashion. There's no shame in sporting the Doll set.


7. Ludwig's Holy Blade



You can buy Ludwig's Blade inside Hunter's Dream after you acquire the Radiant Sword Hunter Badge. If you've been around the block in the Souls games, then you'll feel right at home wielding this versatile death dealer.


8. Crowfeather Armor Set



In addition to looking ridiculously creepy and cool, the Crowfeather set has high blood defense, which could give you an edge against a fellow hunter in PvP. Fashionborne is the way to rock it.


9. The Tonitrus



If not the absolute best weapon in the game, the Tonitrus (aka the lightning mace) is at least the most fun to wield. When it's tricked it out, it deals some major bolt damage on enemies. Snatch it up outside Yahar'gul Chapel.


10. Bone Ash Armor Set



In addition to being menacing as hell, the Bone Ash set has some of the best overall physical defense stats in the game. It's very popular in PvP too, kinda the equivalent of everyone choosing Ken in Street Fighter. (Image via Six String)


11. The Cannon



You can score yourself a cannon in the Forbidden Woods, and you'll be so glad you did. It consumes a whopping 10 Blood Bullets per fire, but it's a great party trick to bust out on an unsuspecting invader, particularly when you spend all the stones and rocks necessary to upgrade it fully.


12. Graveguard Armor Set



If you're a Dark Souls veteran looking to replace your Crimson set, then you've found your match. If you want the cool hooded mask that goes along with it, continue where you found the set and look for the road with a fire and a whole lotta snakes.


13. The Threaded Cane



Many swear by the Threaded Cane, and while you may be tempted to call them crazy, it's got tremendous reach, and its whip form works great for crowd control. It's a bit harder to stagger enemies with, but in a skillful player's hands, you can witness the second coming of Simon Belmont.


14. Cainhurst Armor Set



Cainhurst is maxed out in physical defense stats, so it's tempting to keep it on once you acquire it. Keep in mind it's weak in elemental defense, so make sure to swap it if you face a boss that dishes out elemental damage.


15. The Blade of Mercy



After helping Eileen the Crow (or killing her if that's how you roll), you'll get the Crow Hunter Badge which allows you to purchase Blade of Mercy. It's a trick weapon, so when it's transformed you'll be duel-wielding daggers and taking out bosses like yesterday's garbage.


16. Choir Armor Set



This is the outfit you'll want to switch to when you're up against a magic blasting foe if you're maining the Cainhurst set. You'll be as clean as a church boy with the highest magic defense stats Bloodborne has to offer. (Image via QP Games)


17. The Stake Driver



The Stake Driver catches a lot of heat for its poor range, but it scales decently with strength and skill. If you get over your fear of fighting in close quarters and practice with charging a bit, you'll unlock its true potential.


18. The Wooden Shield



Just kidding. The shield was almost certainly included in the game as a joke, since Bloodborne's design pushes you to be fast and agressive. Although, as weak as the wooden shield is, you could use it to show off in a weaponless challenge run.
