Step Brothers: Boats ‘N HoesHuff ‘N Doback /Prestige Worldwide (written by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly) One of the first moments we get to see the musical talents of our two stars is when they unleash this rather ace hip hop number to an audience of family and friends in a restaurant. Such an environment may not be the ideal location for a song that features lyrics such as: “Make sure to wax, use your mom’s Nair/You’ll be amazed when I c*m in your hair/Pull up the anchor, cause we are leavin’ dry land/Get below deck, with a d**k in your hand!...

Sixteen years ago, a schizophrenic serial killer dubbed the Riverton Ripper terrorized a small town in Massachusetts. He killed several people with a signature fold-out knife, including his wife. He’s about to kill his daughter when the police finally intervene, tipped off by the Ripper’s psychiatrist and one of the good personalities. They gun the killer down, but like all movie killers, he has a nasty habit of coming back to life because he’s just too evil to die....

Neo Yokio, the new animated Netflix series from Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, is being anticipated (or not) as a satirical homage to anime culture. This is a representation that will leave many anime enthusiasts disappointed. As an anime — satire or otherwise — Neo Yokio falls short of its contemporaries. However, as an animated dramedy poking fun at and indulging in the absurdities of privilege in late capitalist America, it’s a gem....

Artist: Robert Love Cover Artist: Robert Love Number 13 is a new comic book series from Dark Horse Comics. It is written by David Walker (Dark Horse Presents #6) and drawn by Robert Love (Dark Horse Presents, Fierce). Number 13 takes place in an apocalyptic world created by a mutant virus that turned humans into mutated monsters. The comic book follows a lost boy who is in search of his father and the only thing we know about him is that he has the number “13” on his head and he has lost some or all of his memory....

Not that there’s a lot to it. It’s Operation, almost exactly the way you remember it from childhood: there’s a board with holes cut in it, odd-shaped pieces that need to be fished out using slightly awkward tweezers, and there’s a red light that switches on and buzzes obnoxiously when you mess up. Players take it in turns to “operate”, and whoever has the steadiest hand wins. Simple, effective, and fun....

The cast of Orphan Black seems to be expanding by leaps and bounds. While characters like Art have taken a bit of a step back in recent weeks, the newer members of the cast have served the mythology well. No matter who comes and goes, Orphan Black seems to be about four women as diverse as four distinct individuals can be, but made from the same genetic stock. As the second season barrelled to a close and the four clone sisters danced their distinct little dances (it can’t be easy for Maslany to come up with three distinct styles of dance to match each of her characters’ personalities), we are left with joy for our cloned foursome, joy that is soon turned to pain and confusion as all hell breaks loose and the world of Orphan Black is invariably changed....

Outcast Episode 6 Every hero faces obstacles along the path to greatness, and though they approach their trials from different angles, both Kyle Barnes and Reverend Anderson make important progress after last week’s setbacks. “From the Shadows It Watches” continues to deftly explore the journeys both men take as they begin to put their lives back together in this week’s setup episode of Outcast. Struggling to come to terms with the realization that his ministrations left a young girl comatose after freeing her of evil, Kyle returns to as normal a life as someone who’s seen what he’s seen can hope to achieve....

After its Upstairs Downstairs revival failed to set the world alight, the BBC upped its game in the search for a Downton Abbey rival, and came up with this classy, expensive, Tom Stoppard-scripted literary adaptation with which to usher in the autumn schedule. It’s worth mentioning at this stage that at no point in Parade’s End does Tietjens fall through a portal to another planet (unless you count Yorkshire), encounter an army of the undead, or get bitten by anything radioactive....

Paul’s world is one of manic desktop gladiators furiously battling through high scores to put off paying the bills, sudden zombie apocalypses confusing ambitious low-budget horror movie makers, and the purgatory of daytime TV. It’s a recognisable place and all the funnier and unnerving for it, plucked from the imagination of a homegrown comics creator. Paul kindly sat with Den of Geek at Dave’s Comics in Brighton & Hove to talk about the new project, his experience of self-publishing comics and the sorts of influences that help drive comics creation....

Ross Poldark, stay out of trouble? Not on your nelly. He’s got trouble written right through him like a stick of Cornwall rock. Demelza may as well wish for pigs to fly or for a bodice that adequately covers her cleavage as for Ross to live adventure-free. Like mining, swarthiness and rebellion, acts of derring-do are in his DNA. If episode two had a title, it might have been ‘So much for the quiet life’, for which Demelza can be held entirely responsible....

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Episode 20 I have dumped on Ninja Steel a lot this season. It’s no secret. The last few weeks (minus the election episode) especially I’ve really torn into the series. So what happens when this episode comes along which isn’t awful? It isn’t great, the plot with Sarah’s mom has zero subtly whatsoever, but for Ninja Steel it’s just batting a thousand. A teenager and her mom get into a disagreement?...

Preacher Episode 3 Sure, we can talk about Jesse’s burgeoning powers, and how he chooses to use said powers. We could also discuss the notion that the preacher’s newfound abilities are something that can be exorcised with the help of a coffee can. We could also touch on yet again how great Joseph Gilgun is as Jesse’s best mate, Cassidy. Instead, let’s talk about Tulip, shall we? (And then we can get into the rest of this in a bit....

5.2 Whirly Girlie When the show first started, it felt like it was about more than the surface mystery. It was about the paranoia of modern tech-ridden high school life, first and foremost, and had an edge to it that we hadn’t really seen elsewhere – especially on ABC Family. That edge is probably why it’s been so successful, but recent seasons have seen the mystery take over at the expense of the characters, relationships and larger thematic clarity....

6.9 Last Dance We open on a sequence revealing that all four mothers are actually in town and on screen at the same time. The girls have been disinvited from prom and graduation on safety grounds – Charles robbing them of the little high school school experience they still have – but Veronica has arranged for them to have a private party in the haunted barn. It’s where the nightmare started, points out Aria, so why not end it there?...

6.16 Where Somebody Waits For Me & 6.17 We’ve All Got Baggage ‘A’ aka Evil Emoji aka devil face, for the most part, has taken a back seat this season, with the mystery focusing instead on Charlotte’s murder. We’re pretty sure that, like always, those two villains are not the same person and, instead of A pretending to be the dead girl a la Mona in season one, they’re setting about solving the crime for themselves....

1.8 Truth For fans of the original Primeval, this episode will trigger memories of several others. There are elements of the penultimate episode of series five with the T-Rex, the one in the same series where the ARC goes into lockdown, and the episode mid-way through series three where a deadly fungus wreaks its revenge in the modern world. Truth combined these elements together into an intriguing plotline that mostly eschews CGI in favour of character-built tension....

Though shrouded in symbolism and bolstered by grand performances, the film is essentially about the lengths to which a pair of Pennsylvania men will go, when two young girls are abducted from their neighbourhood. While the police can’t find any evidence that will allow them to detain him, Keller decides to take the law into his own hands, by imprisoning and torturing Alex. But the chances of finding the two girls diminish with every passing hour, and both Keller and Loki become increasingly desperate to rescue them....

Quarry Season 1, Episode 4 As safehouses go, a hotel in Arkansas should have been foolproof, as Mac’s reassurances to Joni professed. If not for Joni calling in sick, they would have been safe… but for how long? In the end it was good to have the bait to draw Suggs in for the kill as close a call as it was. More interesting, though, was the use of the hotel as a backdrop for the airing of grievances between Joni and Mac, which unfolded in a particularly realistic, hot-and-cold fashion....

This review contains spoilers. Kryten is inarguably Red Dwarf‘s most iconic character. The rubbery, angular mask of the mechanoid head is a marvellous design that should probably stifle any actor wearing it, but Robert Llewellyn’s performance has only become more impressive over time. In terms of design and personality, he’s the character who could scarcely belong to any other show. Aside from Llewellyn, only a few other actors have donned the mechanoid get-up in previous episodes, but a lot of what we see in “Siliconia” feels like it’s been on Doug Naylor’s wishlist for a long time now....

Einstein once said that coincidence was God’s way of remaining anonymous; but, when it comes to screenwriting, does too much use of coincidence end up drawing unwanted attention to the crafted nature of the story? Episode four of Requiem uses more than its fair share of chance encounters to move the plot along, and I found myself counting the amount, which is never a good sign in the middle of watching a television programme....
