Papers, Please Short Film Out Now, Free to Watch
An excellent 10 minute film based on Lucas Pope's powerful 2013 game Papers, Please is out now.
The film, which is free to watch on YouTube and Steam, does a wonderful job at capturing the bleak tone of Lucas Pope's frantic puzzler and the moral quandaries suffered by his border crossing immigration officer in the made-up state of Arstotzka.
In our review, we called Papers, Please "a simulation of that moment that a cog in the machine’s heart finally stops beating, or a kind of hidden object game where what you’re mostly looking for is a glimmer of hope."
Black Panther Has Second-Largest Second Weekend Ever
Black Panther had stellar second weekend at the domestic box office, holding strong in first place with an estimated $108 million.
The Chadwick Boseman-led Marvel movie had the second-largest second weekend ever, outpacing the second weekend hauls of both The Avengers and Jurassic World. Black Panther's second weekend is only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which made $149.2 million in 2015.
Having now grossed $400 million in North America, director Ryan Coogler's record-breaking MCU film is not only the third-fastest movie to reach the milestone—reaching $400M in just 10 days—it's on pace to soon eclipse Captain America: Civil War and Iron Man 3's domestic hauls of $408.1 million and $409 million, respectively.

Ash vs. Evil Dead: Season 3 Cheat Sheet
When the announcement first hit a few years ago, many of us were absolutely stunned. Could it really be? Was Bruce Campbell really returning to continue the adventures of that idiot with a chainsaw, Ashley J. “Ash” Williams, so many years after we’d last seen him in Army of Darkness? And as a TV show???
It seemed too good to be true, especially after the 2013 Evil Dead film that split fans down the middle like a blood-soaked blade – some of us loved it, some of us hated it (put me down under “love”) – and for all intents and purposes attempted to reboot the franchise… or not, because a lot of us think it was a sly sequel. Yes, because you can see Ash’s car at one point, although it may be just a nod… but this article isn’t about that. Moving on…

Walking Dead Characters Ranked By How Much We Care
Warning: Spoilers follow for AMC's The Walking Dead through Season 9's penultimate episode, "The Calm Before."
Even with the multitude of characters The Walking Dead has killed off over the years - the mounds and mountains of bodies that have piled up - it still has the largest ensemble on TV.
As we regroup after Season 9's penultimate episode, "The Calm Before, given the high body count that came with it, the show still has a couple dozen names and faces to juggle. And our feelings about most of them, a solid 75 percent of them, range from intolerance to indifference.

The Room’s Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero Reunite for New Film
The Room's Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero are returning to theaters soon with the two-volume road trip adventure, Best F(r)iends.
The film, written by Sestero, is coming to nearly 600 U.S. theaters for four nights only, with the first volume playing on March 30 and April 2, followed by the second volume on June 1 and 4. All four screenings will be played at 8pm PT/ET.
The story is inspired by a real-life road trip Wiseau and Sestero took after the production of The Room in April 2003. It follows Sestero playing a drifter who is taken in by Wiseau's mortician. The duo hatch an underground enterprise, but their plans unravel due to greed, hatred and jealousy.
The drifter runs off with the spoils, with the two men embarking on an expedition across the Southwest featuring crazy characters. Paul Scheer (Human Giant, Veep) also stars in the film, which features a musical score from Daniel Platzman of Imagine Dragons.
