Adolf Eichmann was one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, helping to organize the process of detaining Jewish people in ghettos and later supervising the transportation of many to concentration camps. Though not as widely known as Josef Mengele, Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler or even perhaps Leni Riefenstahl, Eichmann was directly responsible for making the Nazi regime such an effective agent of genocide.

Heartland Shorts Film Festival showcased the amazing work of over 200 filmmakers, all having produced films that clocked in at under 40 minutes in length. There were many amazing films on display, and here is one of my favorites from my time at the festival: This World of Ghosts.
We’ve been here before.
Back in 2014, Antoine Fuqua, the director of films such as Training Day, Tears of the Sun, and Shooter, teamed with Denzel Washington to make The Equalizer. Based loosely on the hit 1980s television series, the film followed Robert McCall, a former Black Ops operative who uses his skills to help the innocent while waging war against the Russian Mafia. The film was a box office success, and was enjoyed by both critics and audiences alike, praising it for its acting, action, and unique visual style. Now, both Washington and Fuqua team up again to bring audiences The Equalizer 2, making it the first time Washington has returned for a sequel.

After the video-looping app Vine died in 2017, an announcement of any kind of re-launching or revival for this beloved app has been much anticipated. Needless to say, when the creator of Vine, Dom Hofmann, announced what he calls v2 in December of 2017, users of the original app were elated. The launch was set for March of 2018. However, as March came and went those who were looking forward to this relaunch were disappointed to say the least. It was not until May 4 that Hofmann announced that the launch of v2 would be postponed indefinitely.

One of the most iconic games of the golden days of game developer Rare is Conker’s Bad Fur Day. A game that originally was another collect-a-thon with cute animals and wacky antics, Rare rebuilt the game and made it an M-Rated classic. People always talk about how deceptive the game was, with its cutesy Rare art style combined with well-endowed flowers, heavy drinking, and a reaper named Greg. Yet, the game made its intentions very clear from the get-go, with plenty of warnings for those who aren’t comfortable with its brand of humor.

Ever since “Mario Tennis Power Tour,” the series has been rather disappointing on multiple fronts. The lack of modes, mechanics, and customization in recent entries pushed me away from playing them entirely. However, with the promises that Nintendo made for “Mario Tennis Aces,” there is a lot that the game has to live up to.
Marvel’s long-term plans led up to a really stunning and impressive film with Infinity War, where there were actual stakes, a threatening villain, and actions with consequences. Unfortunately, in an effort to not spoil the events of Infinity War, Disney-Marvel had to keep movies on schedule. Staying on schedule meant that, inevitably, the film to follow up Infinity War would feel like a step down on every level. Ant-Man drew the short straw, and got its sequel slotted not even three months after Infinity War.

The art of the video game/movie tie-in is a long lost one in this day and age. Up until a certain point, if a blockbuster was in cinemas (especially if it was animated), you knew that there would be a video game adaptation rip roaring and ready to go on store shelves.
