Review of the Week

Let's see what's been happening this week:

Hellboy News - Ron Perlman wants a third film
So those of you who were around the 00s and are very much into the film adaptations of graphic novels, may remember one about this guy called Hellboy. Created by Mike Mignola and adapted to film by dark fantasy and Mexican film maker Guillermo del Toro, the film series in my opinion is great and having watched the 2 films more recently, they do feel like the Star Wars prequel trilogy that we never had (you know, without the CGI blowout and using more realistic props). Anyway, so its been a while since Golden Army came out and now Ron Perlman (a regular collaborator of del Toros' who plays the titular character) now wants Hellboy 3 to happen and his co-stars want it to happen too. Even del Toro admits he wants another film. But does the world want it? Well Perlman had gone onto the social media side of things to rally people to make it happen. But whether film studios actually want it to happen, is another question entirely. Still, I personally would love to see another film because I think the first two were great films, if not a bit odd, but that's fine with me and I would be more than willing to give money should a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign for one, happen. #HellboyIII

In other news, Microsoft admit to not playing nice with PC gamers and are making efforts to make Windows 10 the best OS for gamers and developers, a lost Star Wars short film has been rediscovered after 30 years, Mass Effect 4 is not a sequel nor a prequel according to BioWare, Kingdom Hearts III could be the secret title that Square Enix reveal at E3 but many believe it to be a long shot (we can still hope and dream though), LEGO makes their own Minecraft with the Steam game LEGO Worlds (currently in Early Access, but playable on Steam) and the rebooting of Marvel comics may have an impact on the Cinematic Universe films.

Now onto the week's film and video game releases in most areas of the world:

Films:
Entourage (some areas with many more to follow in the coming weeks)
Insidious: Chapter 3 (most areas with more to follow)
Spy (most areas with more to follow. Review coming soon)

Video Games:
Hatred (Win) (Worldwide)
Heroes of the Storm (Win and OS X) (Worldwide)
Wander (Win and PS4) (Worldwide)

Movie Review - Inside Out 2
