Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference 2018 recap

Last year’s 2017 Worldwide Developers Conference was marked by the announcement of the Homepod as well as a new configuration of the 10.5 inch iPad, updates to the Macbook line and the all new iMac Pro. This year’s WWDC 2018 has taken a much more software-focused approach.

‘Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon’ is the perfectly portioned appetizer to IGA’s main course

 ‘Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon’ is a perfectly portioned appetizer to  the upcoming main course of ‘Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.’ The  game looks great, sounds great, and plays exactly like it should. The  'Castlevania' influence flows through all parts of this product, and  despite my personal distaste for the original 'Castlevania' games, this  game makes the right improvements on the gameplay to keep it fresh,  fair, and fun. It even delivers a shocking amount of length for a game  of this style. ‘Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon’ reaches ‘Shovel Knight’  levels of perfectly nailing the feel of an NES classic.

“Show Dogs” is a new pedigree of lame animal comedy

Show Dogs is one of the worst examples of condescending family  entertainment this reviewer has seen in a long time. With extremely low  production values and extremely shoddy writing, it is extremely hard to  recommend to anyone who doesn’t feel nostalgic for an age of film making  where movies like this were seen as tent pole films for studios across  the board. However, if you have a sweet tooth for schlock like this  and/or have younger family members who have an affinity for dogs… you’re  still better off watching Air Bud and its cosmic smorgasbord of  sequels.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” can be fun, but blends into a crowd all too well

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' has a lot of problems. Its writing is  inconsistent, it’s too visually muddy, it needed to be about 20 minutes  shorter, and it needed to have its own legs to stand on. Despite all of  that, there are enough great action sequences and good character moments  that the film can’t be written off as completely terrible. It can,  however, be written off as bland and forgettable. Much like Han Solo  himself, the film is enjoyable, but flawed and ultimately unimportant.
