Previous generations might joyfully recall spending untold hours of after-school afternoons playing a game in which little colored blocks snapped into place beside each other. Nostalgia for a plotless game may not seem enough, but incredibly, in 2023 they somehow managed to turn that 8-bit memory into a truly entertaining movie. Rather than giving ...
This is the game movie by which all other game movies are judged. It helps that the board game Cluealready plays like the simplest Agatha Christie-esque whodunnit. Mr. Boddy (I'll never get over that name) turns up dead, and everyone assembled had a reason to have done the dastardly deed! That gave director Jonathan Lynn license to riff on all of t...
The biggest surprise in Ouija: Origin of Evil, the 2016 prequel to the mediocre 2014 film Ouija, was when it turned out to actually be a good movie. It makes sense now in 2023, when the director's name of Mr. Mike Flanagan means something to us, thanks to the steady stream of horror content (like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass) he's s...
Josh Ruben's 2021 adaptation of the 2016 Ubisoft game makes the case, like Clue did before it, that the secret to making a great video game adaption lay in the simplicity of the source material itself. Werewolves Within’s game was based on party games like Werewolves and Mafiathat had been around for ages — a group of people trying to figure out wh...
With seven films and one short-lived Netflix series, Resident Evil has unleashed plenty for fans to go rabid over. People are bound to have their individual favorite adaptations of Capcom's nearly three-decade-old zombie survival video game. Mine remains Paul W.S. Anderson's original 2002 film, which turned the supermodel Milla Jovovich into an act...
Resident Evil is considered by many to be the scariest video game there is to play. However, the film adaptations have always leaned more into action-movie territory. So in 2006, French director Christophe Gans came along and turned Konami's game of Silent Hillinto the scariest of the video-game movies by leaps and terrifying pyramid-headed bounds....
Unlikely as it might seem, Darren Aronofsky's surreal black-and-white breakout movie Pi — which is turning 25 this year and getting an 8K theatrical re-release thanks to A24 — is linked inextricably with the 2,500-year-old strategy game of Go. The film's main characters, Max (Sean Gullette) and Sol (Mark Margolis), are mathematicians who play the g...
There are plenty of longtime fans of Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 film adaptation of the infamously bloody fighting game. But I preferred director Simon McQuoid's 2021 reboot of the franchise, and I don't think it was just the fact that it was giving me two hours of loud distraction from a very stressful outside world. Not justthat, anyway. Flashing f...
The adventurer Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) must find an ancient Illuminati key to unlock the Egyptian artifact called the Triangle of Light, which controls time, before a solar eclipse destroys us all, or… something. I have no idea, it's utter nonsense. But I have always had a soft spot for both the 2001 and 2003 Lara Croft films, even if they are ...
Only with the fourth D&D movie have they finally managed to get it right. Giving both diehard fans of the five-decades-old role-playing-game and newbies who wouldn’t know a gelatinous cube from an Owlbear the sort of otherworldly magic that the series become synonymous with, this big-budget adventure from comedy writers Jonathan Goldstein and John ...

- The Last of Us. Before the year even started, I called The Last of Us the best TV show of 2023. Five months of great TV later, it may have lost that title, but it is without a doubt the best video game adaptation ever.
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Universal and Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie isn’t the best video game adaptation ever, but it certainly isn’t the worst, either.
- Arcane. Heading into its late 2021 premiere, Arcane initially looked and felt like nothing more than another animated video game tie-in, but it quickly became clear that there was more to Arcane than that.
- Resident Evil (2002) It’s hard to believe that, at one point, the Resident Evil games weren’t associated with Milla Jovovich. But in 2002, Resident Evil proved you could make a movie based on a wildly popular first-person shooter zombie game and give it heart.
