South Korea is the unofficial capital of all things MMO. The culture is an important part of everyday life and not really limited to a particular age group. Hundreds of games of several different kinds have been developed in South Korea, and several have made it to international audien
Lost Ark Quests Ark combines all of the features that make MMOs popular. The area available to explore is vast, and lore is rich and varied. Character customization is a prominent selling point, and there's one overall quest that puts all of the smaller adventures into focus. Gamers might be wondering what all the hype is about, with the publicity of the release just starting to get some traction. Here are a few things that the gaming world has yet to learn about Lost
However, that's not to say that it's perfect. There are several issues with the film that even the most avid fans would love to change, especially when there are several racial concepts and predatory behaviors glossed over. With this in mind, since 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the action/adventure epic, we'll take a look at how the film has aged culturally and cinematica
Raiders is no exception to the famous director's love for powerful imagery. Though the story features some logical leaps, they're accepted in order to appreciate the magic happening in the story. For example, the incredible image of the snakes in the Well of the Souls is profound but raises questions of how they survived for so long with little oxygen or food. Other examples include the (supposed) 5 ft tall staff of Ra towering over Ford's 6'1 frame in the map room or Indy and Marion's unexplained escape from the Nazis' remote island at
I don't take one. It's a whole lifetime wrapped up in it. I had a dear friend of mine brought up to Tunisia who came with us; got him a role in the thing, he was an architect? I was with my future wife. It was just a great turning point in my life. Apart from its theater, its cinema history, its movie history - which is really important. I think it's changed - though not always for the better - the course of action-adventure films. But for me personally, it was a waters
During the film's closing, Marion (Karen Allen) and Indy exit a government facility as Williams' hopeful theme transforms into something mysterious. The scene cuts to the Ark resting inside a wooden crate, nails punching the lid shut. A padlock snaps as a "Top Secret" label is slapped
CGI tends to age poorly and while Raiders admittedly has its moments of aged CGI effects, those never detract from the practical elements on display. Setting the story in the 1930s has also given it legs over time. Had the story been set in the 1980s, it actually would've felt more dated, but the movie continues to have that timeless feel thanks to its classic setting. Overall, Raiders proves that practical, in-camera elements still stand the test of time better than
After the first Mad Max movie presented a bleak dystopia in a somewhat recognizable near-future, the second one dived head-first into a barren post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by gas-guzzling villainy. Mel Gibson returns to the role of Max, tearing across the desert in his V8 Interceptor, looking for a fight worth fight
It was well-received for the first year it was available, including the time it was only in Korea. Only after the game had a successful showing at the Korean Game Awards did serious talk of international marketing be

Luc Besson’s Léon: The Professional offers a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a contract killer . Jean Reno stars as the titular hitman, who takes his 12-year-old neighbor Mathilda (Natalie Portman) under his wing when her entire family is killed by a corrupt DEA agent (Gary Oldm
One of the most prized gems in the Amblin crown, Richard Donner’s The Goonies follows a group of down-on-their-luck suburban kids who decide to spend their last weekend together following a treasure map to a pirate’s lost fort

Based on lengthy story discussions with Lucas and Spielberg, Kasdan masterfully boiled the plot down to its essence and turned in a script that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of its hero, as well as the spirit of adventure its
But that thing with Harrison doing the shooting instead of the sword sequence, which was rehearsed, was because he got ill. It wasn't for time purposes. We all got dysentery from Tunisia, working there. I think the only people who didn't get ill were Steven, who had his food flown in cans from Fortnum & Mason, and Howard G. Kazanjian, the producer. Everyone else at some point or other got ill, I think - I'm trying to remember whether Karen got ill. Anyway, I got ill right at the end of the picture. But Harrison got ill when he was meant to do that sword fight that he'd rehearsed the day before, and he just couldn't move that much. If he'd moved, he'd have had a terrible accident. So he said, "Why don't I just shoot the f*cker?" And that's how that wonderful moment came aro
