5 d. ago Ghost of Yōtei review – a brutal and stunningly beautiful samurai revenge quest

PlayStation 5; Sucker Punch/SonyThe follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima leans into its young protagonist’s thirst for bloody vengeanceMy horse in Ghost of Yōtei is called Mochizuki, which means “full moon” in archaic Japanese, and I swear she is the most unfortunate creature in all of northern Japan. The button I have to press to summon her is right next to the button I need to press to heal my samurai during a fight and I often fumble with my thumb and call her straight into a chaotic seven-on-one brawl. Mochizuki frequently gallops full pelt into an arrow or catches a sword-swipe from one of my outlaw enemies as I roll out of the way. Sometimes she stands on the edge of the skirmish, calmly waiting for me to finish disembowelling bad guys so that we can resume our picturesque adventures across the region of Ezo.Ghost of Yōtei is the follow-up to American studio Sucker Punch’s reverent samurai action game Ghost of Tsushima, from 2020. Most of the time it looks exceptionally well-directe...

8 d. ago Platonic: Seth Rogen’s sitcom is the most lovable comedy on TV. It should be as big as Friends

Sure, The Studio may have recently won Rogen more Emmys than any other comedy, but his other show – a sitcom about two pals hanging out – is hilarious and a total revelation. You want to be in their company for everWhen the time comes to look back on this part of Seth Rogen’s career, The Studio is destined to dominate everything else. This makes perfect sense. He co-created it, co-wrote it, stars as its lead, convinced the great and good of Hollywood to be in it with him and directed it with such a vaulting sense of ambition that, when it won more Emmys than any other comedy in history a few weeks ago, nobody even flinched. The Studio is the show that has cemented Rogen’s status as a comic visionary.However, if I might offer a small footnote here: Platonic is pretty great, too. Continue reading...

9 d. ago We Americans love remaking British TV. Must the UK remake our odious politicians? | Dave Schilling

A recent trip to Britain from my native California presented some worrying truths about our shared political futureI’ve always wanted to visit the UK. This might sound absurd to you, considering I’m from California – home of sunshine, half-naked bodies and the studio where they film Jeopardy. What could possibly pull me to the cold, damp, gray shores of England? The oppressively brown food? The dodgy colonialist history? Tesco? No, it was the glowing box that vibrated with whatever passed for culture in my small town: television.British TV was an obsession in my house, via those purveyors of affordable, exotic entertainment at PBS. We’d get classy fare through the Masterpiece Theatre series, but also more downmarket comedies like Are You Being Served? (a variety of sexually obsessed retail clerks trip over each other) or Keeping Up Appearances (lower-middle-class oafs desperately wish they were posh). I had no concept of what people were saying in their thick accents or most of the ...

2 w. ago Star Wars: Starfighter – what the new picture of Ryan Gosling tells us

Will the Shawn Levy-directed instalment, set five years after The Rise of Skywalker, offer a radial reinvention or return us to a period no one particularly wants to revisit?How do you reinvent Star Wars? How do you flip the script and subvert expectations for a long-running, much-loved cosmic saga? The truth is, nobody really knows, because other than George Lucas, no one has really tried.The prequels, for all their beige politics and clunky dialogue, were at least the Star Wars creator’s brave if misguided attempt to rewire the mainframe: a widescreen tragedy about the corruption of democracy, wrapped in a toybox of podracers and CGI frogmen with comedy accents. Elsewhere, experiments have been patchy. The excellent Rogue One took a gritty war-movie detour, only to end with a Vader cameo. The Last Jedi flirted with real subversion, then got bludgeoned into retreat by a panicked studio. And Disney+ has provided everything from samurai-inspired anime shorts (Visions) to Ewan McGrego...
