The Last of Us, Season 1 Finale Review – Look for the Light

The Last of Us, Season 1 Finale Review – Look for the Light

, , , , , 0

The season finale of The Last Of Us on HBO Max races to the finish line in an erratic and unsettling way that seems to encapsulate the style of the series as a whole. Feeling like a checklist of plot points that the show runners forgot to cover in the previous 8 episodes, this brisk 44 minute episode did manage to stir up some feelings. We finally return to the flashback opening format, in which we see the birth of Ellie, as her pregnant mother (Ashley Johnson) is chased into a home by an infected woman that bites her while the baby is being born. As origin stories go, it’s not an unsatisfying way to explain Ellie’s immunity. We also finally see where Firefly leader Marlene fits into Ellie’s story, though it’s unclear why the girl was allowed to be taken in by FEDRA at some point, if Marlene was the one entrusted to find the baby a home. Perhaps that’s a story saved for a Season 2 flashback. But satisfaction

The Last of Us, Episode 8 Review – When We Are in Need

The Last of Us, Episode 8 Review – When We Are in Need

By the end of this episode of The Last of Us I had tears in my eyes, an elevated heart rate and renewed faith in the state of streaming entertainment in 2023. HBO Max can consider their investment in adapting a decade old video game into live action, money well spent. This penultimate installment was definitely a winner. There was something very exciting to me about Ellie and Joel taking shelter in an abandoned home over the last few episodes, which may seem counterintuitive when considering the more colorful sets the series has presented, such as the mall in episode 7. Perhaps it’s the fact that I grew up in the most generic of track housing, so to imagine my own neighborhood turned into a ghost town with battles for survival taking place between suburban backyards added spice to the mundane, but familiar surroundings.  As much as I find Pedro Pascal an enjoyable presence on screen, I feel almost guilty admitting that I was happy to see him once again

The Last of Us, Episode 6 Review – Kin

The Last of Us, Episode 6 Review – Kin

, , , , , , , , , 11

If there’s one thing The Last Of Us knows how to do, it’s upset me. It’s not too violent or too vulgar, too boring or too predictable. Perhaps it’s just too…unconventional? Episode 6 of The Last Of Us was possibly the most jarring bit of television of I’ve seen. In my review of the previous episode I voiced my excitement over the story potential of adding two new characters, Henry and Sam to the mix. It felt as if this brotherly duo and the test of Ellie’s miracle blood would add some dramatic tensions to the next leg of the journey through the freaky fields of fungus. Let’s just say that I was very confident in who would be on screen during the episode titled “Kin” and was suddenly humbled when I pushed play on my HBO Max app. Technically Henry was was in the episode, but as the picture continuously flickered between a black screen and scenes of Lamar Johnson wielding a gun as Joel tries to calm him

The Last of Us, Episode 4 Review – Please Hold to My Hand

The Last of Us, Episode 4 Review – Please Hold to My Hand

, , , , , 14

Coming off the creative achievement of the amazing third episode of The Last Of Us, it was inevitable that the fourth installment of “The Adventures of Joel & Ellie” would have a hard time achieving the same artistic high note of its predecessor. Having established now that the series can detour completely into poignant, self-contained storytelling, would they simply return to tales from the road to en route to rescue Joel’s brother, Tommy? As it turns out, yes. With an opening that does not include one of the compelling flashbacks of the first two episodes, Please Hold to My Hands snaps back from stretching the bounds of its artistic elastic to rely solely on the charm of its two leads in order to maintain audience interest. Did it achieve its goal? Let’s explore. With Ellie acting as navigator for the pair on their way through Kansas City, a seemingly abandoned quarantine zone becomes more than meets the eye. If you feel that this review sounds like little more than an

The Last of Us, Episode 2 Review – Infected

I must admit that going into episode 2 of The Last Of Us, I was looking forward to gaining a greater understanding of the world in which fungus reigned supreme. Though I had some trepidation as the last time a fungus was featured in a big budget production as part of the live action Super Mario Bros movie in 1993, the results were less than stellar. In that bizarre film, the duo of plumber siblings were constantly being reminded to “trust the fungus”, a sentient goo, that by the film’s end was revealed to be the de-evolved monarch of the mushroom kingdom. Given the praise I heaped upon the first episode of The Last Of Us in my first review, I suppose there was no reason to doubt the power of the entertainment to come, though in the end, episode 2 may ultimately be considered filler, as opposed to a standout in the HBO Max series. Once again the episode, Infected, opens with an expository flashback that acts as its own

HBO’s The Last of Us is a phenomenal show, but you likely already knew that. if you’re not watching it yourself, you know numerous people who constantly tell you how good it is. And if you don’t have that, you at least have me to pester you. WATCH THE LAST OF US, DUDE. The show has pulled in some impressive numbers for HBO, which is even more amazing when you consider the competition. Thanks to showing up in January and running on Sundays, the series has had to compete with the Oscars, the Grammys, and now the Super Bowl. This time, however, HBO has blinked. Though the episode will air in its usual timeslot on Sunday at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern, it will actually be available much earlier. Episode 5 of The Last Of Us will show up on-demand this Friday, February 10, at 6 Pacific / 9 Eastern, two days removed from the big game. Since on-demand is the way most of us watch it, this

The Last of Us, Episode 1 Review – When You’re Lost in the Darkness

Reviewer Disclaimer: I am not a gamer. Let me rephrase that, I’m not a modern gamer. If anything, I could be classified as a retro gamer in that I still have an original Nintendo Entertainment System hooked up to a tube TV and a stack of game cartridges that  I play regularly. I bought a Playstation 3 in 2012 to use solely as a blu-ray player and when I got adventurous 10 years later and picked up a used copy of Batman Arkham Asylum, I couldn’t get past the first level. As a result, I resigned myself to 20th century video game technology once again. All that is to say, that I definitely have not played The Last Of Us video game or it’s sequel. I’ve heard it praised and debated in the general pop culture, but know very little of it’s plot, other than it is a game that could be classified as a post-apocalyptic, cinematic experience. I thought it was important to set the stage for the reviews

The Last Of Us Renewed For Second Season

The Last Of Us Renewed For Second Season

Given how most Hollywood adaptions of video games turn out, you might not have expected the moon from HBO’s The Last Of Us — but let me tell you something, it has delivered the moon plus Mars and Jupiter and maybe a few asteroids. Granted, only two episodes have been made public, but just judging by those two, it’s not only the best video game adaption we’ve ever seen, it’s one of the best shows of the decade period. Episode 3 is rumored to be even better. And for once, the public agrees with the critics: The Last Of Us brought in the second biggest debut numbers HBO has ever had, only outdone by House of the Dragon from last year. What can they do but give us more? HBO confirmed a second season has been approved for production today. “I’m so grateful to [The Last of Us co-creator] Neil Druckmann and HBO for our partnership,” says executive producer Craig Mazin, “and I’m even more grateful to the millions of

The Last Of Us TV Show Set For January 15 Premiere

We at last know when the premiere date will be for HBO’s televised take on The Last Of Us video game. You can expect the struggle for humanity to commence on January 15, 2023. If you think you heard this already, you probably did — the date of the premiere was accidentally leaked out by a listing on the HBO Max app. We know the cast, the general look of the thing and when to expect it…the only question remaining is what kind of a show we’re getting, and if fans will find it satisfactory. Executive producer Neil Druckmann (who also wrote the video game’s plot) told IGN that while some elements will be lifted from the Naughty Dog game, other parts will be completely new. “Things sometimes stay pretty close. It’s funny to see my dialogue there from the games in HBO scripts. And sometimes they deviate greatly to much better effect because we are dealing with a different medium,” he said. The Last Of Us stars Pedro Pascal

Here’s What The Last Of Us TV Show Looks Like

Yesterday’s article about The Witcher got some comments along the lines of “see, it’s fully possible to make a good TV show based on a video game.” This is incorrect. The Witcher actually comes from a series of novels, which both the Netflix series and the CD Projekt Red games are based on. If we’re talking game adaptions, The Witcher doesn’t technically count. The Last of Us, however, is 100% a show based on a game. And while it is true that most cinematic media translations of video games tend to be less than great, this property has a good shot at being what you thought The Witcher was. It’s a very cinematic, story-driven game that has a lot more for Hollywood to work with than, say, Resident Evil (surely it’s possible to not mess Resident Evil up, they just haven’t found anybody who can). You likely know the story by now: civilization has fallen due to the spread of a vicious fungus that infects human brains and turns them

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Stars the one and only Nicolas Cage on his most challenging role ever! He will be playing himself! Nicolas Cage is an Iconic actor and he shines when he gets the right roles but he also have stains on his career when he accepted roles he should not accept but this film is a great decision. No one can deny his mark in the Entertainment Biz as many of his films achieved the legend status. Look at all the Memes created out of some clips from his old flicks. Cage is the only Actor in the world that I saw being sold as a mermaid sequin pillow. No Movie gives tribute to the career of this living legend than a Comedy  where he plays the Ultimate Meme factory himself! The Unbearable Weight of Massive makes Mr.Cage embrace all the memes created out of his image. He is joined by other equally talented actors like Pedro Pascal, Neil Patrick Harris,Ike Barinholtz and Tiffany Haddish!
