REVIEW: Potata: Fairy Flower on Xbox One

Review by Jon Donnis
I was a sent a review copy of Potata by the good people at Sometimes You.

Potato is a side-scrolling fantasy game, you play as the character Potata, a witch that wants to explore the world. This is an Indie title, but comes across as very mainstream, with its incredible graphics and fun game play.

The game can be quite challenging, but not so much so that it would put anyone off.
Each level has things to collect, and puzzles to solve. You start off by heading off to search for ingredients for her mothers soup, which is to help Potato's pet fox who is sick, and of course as you head off that is where you get yourself into trouble and the adventures begin.

R.I.P. Scrubs' Sam Lloyd

Sam Lloyd has died. Best known for his role as sad-sack lawyer/a capella enthusiast Ted Buckland on long-running NBC sitcom Scrubs, Lloyd was a veteran character actor with more than 60 credits to his name, across a 30-year career. Lloyd was diagnosed with cancer last year; numerous members of the Scrubs family organized a GoFundMe at the time to help pay his medical costs. Lloyd’s death was reported on social media today by co-star Robert Maschio, with his agent later confirming the news. Lloyd was 56.

Although he came up as a stage actor, Lloyd got his first break on the screen during the 1988 TV season, when he was cast in two different episodes—as two different characters—on NBC’s Night Court. He followed that with his first regular TV role, on the short-lived Valerie Harper sitcom City, but didn’t get his first real, high-profile exposure until 1993, when he had a memorable two-episode stint as TV Guide/Elaine Benes obsessive Ricky on the fifth season of Seinfeld.

Quentin Tarantino Q&A

Originally published in the July 2019 issue of Empire.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is your favourite film. But what is your favourite shot from it? – Abigail Tanner

That’s easy. During the three-way bullring showdown at the end, the music builds to the giant orchestra crescendo, and when it gets to the first big explosion of the theme there’s a wide shot of the bullring. After you’ve seen all the little shots of the guys getting into position, you suddenly see the whole wideness of the bullring and all the graves around them. It’s my favourite shot in the movie, but I’ll even say it’s my favourite cut in the history of movies.

REVIEW: Deliver Us The Moon on Xbox One

This game is a "Sci-Fi thriller set in an apocalyptic near future, where Earth's natural resources are depleted. A lone astronaut is sent to the moon on a critical mission to save humanity from extinction."

So the description sounds pretty awesome and unique, but lets not rush ahead, first of all the game is beautiful, truly stunning to look at and you know that the game makers must be very proud of that.

The game is a story driven game, so a good story is important, and again the game makers should feel proud because the story is a good one, and you do very quickly feel immersed in that story. Whether the story is told through narration, audio logs that you collect, things you may read as well as cut scenes, it can be a bit slow moving, although you never feel bored of the story.

As a thriller the main fear of the game is driven through the feeling of loneliness, there aren't monsters jumping out at you, or anything like that, so the game uses storytelling as well as incredible visuals to really push home the idea you are alone, and if you fail to do something in time, then that is it.

Interview with Brando Benetton - Writer and Director of Nightfire

Real location. Practical action.
Nightfire starring Dylan Baker.
Streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime May 1, 2020.

Two American agents are hired to retrieve military chips containing top-secret content. Their plan goes awry when an unexpected political prisoner (Emmy-nominee Dylan Baker) enters the picture.


Shorts are well-known for being a launchpad for some of today’s biggest names. Why did you decide to, well, start small (or rather, short)?

Honestly, our movie runs less than a full feature in length (just shy of 45 minutes), but in terms of scale, production and ambition it definitely felt closer to a feature film than a short. Our shooting script was 55 pages and the first cut was about 1h5m. But usually short are a good creative ground because—on a “stakes” level—you have less resources pulled and less to lose in regards to your career.

Making TV in the coronavirus pandemic: Why the television industry is watching what Neighbours does next

Long-running soap opera Neighbours is about to go back into production following the COVID-19 shutdown — but it will be a very different environment on set.

There will be no kissing or holding hands, the cast and crew will be isolated into three distinct groups, and camera trickery will be used to make physically-distanced actors look more intimate.

"It's going to look a bit odd," said Chris Oliver-Taylor, the chief executive of Neighbours' production company Fremantle Australia.

"[But] Neighbours is a show that can get away with it.

We employ hundreds of staff who want to work and feel they can. It's important we continue to produce a show that reaches millions of people in the UK and a significant audience in Australia."

Neighbours is believed to be the first suspended TV drama to resume production in the English-speaking world.

'Resident Evil' Stunt Performer Wins Latest Legal Case Following Career-Ending Accident

U.K.-based stunt performer Olivia Jackson — who suffered life-changing injuries following an accident while shooting 2016's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter — has won a legal case in South Africa against a company involved in the film.

While standing in for Milla Jovovich during the 2015 shoot in Cape Town and riding a motorcycle at high speed, Jackson collided with a crane-mounted camera vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. She would spend 17 days in a coma, with her left arm having to be amputated above the elbow. She was also left with a twisted spine, paralysis of the top left quarter of her body including her neck, a dislocated shoulder, a severed thumb, punctured lungs and broken ribs, and still suffers lasting nerve damage and facial scarring.

At court in South Africa has now found in favor of Jackson, ruling that the stunt was negligently planned and executed by the local company, Bickers Actions SA, that had been operating the camera and filming vehicle. The judge also dismissed the allegation by the defendants — Gustav Marais and Roland Melville — that Jackson’s motorbike riding was at fault. Alongside Bickers Action SA, the stunt coordinator was Grant Hulley of Pyranha Stunts. Both companies had been engaged on the film by Davis Films/Impact Pictures.

Over Many Martinis, Pierce Brosnan And Quentin Tarantino Discussed A James Bond Film That Never Came To Be

On last night's live watchalong of GoldenEye, Pierce Brosnan – the Bond with the kindest eyes – revealed much about the Nineties-era 007, and it seemed everyone wanted in on the star's turn on the Walther-PPK. Even Quentin Tarantino.

Long after the 1995 Bond hit wrapped production, Brosnan revealed that the director's people got in touch with his people to talk about a spy film that never came to fruition. But several rounds of martinis did.

"It was after Kill Bill Vol. 2, and he wanted to meet me, so I went up to Hollywood one day from the beach, and I met him at the Four Seasons," said the 66-year-old. "I got there at 7pm, I like to be punctual. 7:15 came around, no Quentin, he was upstairs doing press. Someone sent over a martini, so I had a martini, and I waited till 7:30, and I thought, where the heck is he? Word came down, apologies, so I thought, okay, I'll have another martini."
