Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ slickly enjoyable, big-hearted dramedy makes their journey there as compelling as the match itself. Not your average sports movie, this unconventional biopic revels in the cultural battle as much as the tennis showdown. Where he’s a dead ringer for Riggs, Stone opts for emotional truth rather than impersonation. Dayton and Faris draw their relationship with close-up delicacy, their first haircut together as intimate as a full-on love scene. Directors: Valerie F

As you can probably imagine, movie soundtracks frequently clog the airwaves in the Total Film office. It might seem weird that a movie obsessive like me would want to keep all film music away from my ears outside of the viewing experience, but hear me out.

Justice League is out, for better or worse. Superman’s moustache.

We’re less than a month away from the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Disney is gearing up for the big day with a slew of new TV spots. The latest spot, Heroes, focuses on John Boyega’s Finn, who starts the movie still in his lightsaber-induced coma from The Force Awakens. That’s a question we still don’t have the answer to, and you’ll have to watch the movie for yourself to find out, when Star Wars: The Last Jedi releases on December 14 in the UK, and December 15 in the US.

Exclusive to Entertainment Weekly, the images mostly just show the characters hanging out and looking super serious about stuff, but one interesting thing to note is that one of the images seems to show Rey in the company of Kylo Ren. Many people (probably correctly) assumed that the trailer which appeared to feature Kylo Ren and Rey talking was misdirection on Disney’s part, but this new image perhaps confirms that they do in fact come face to face in Star Wars 8. That’s Kylo Ren behind Rey, ri

We’re a mere five episodes into The Walking Dead season 8 and it’s only now that we’re returning to discover the fate of our favourite antagonist. It finally resolves the whole caravan situation – but in true Walking Dead style – does it in the slowest possible manner. Negan is a mystery, a horrible, bloodlusting mystery that propels the story forward in a way that little else can nowadays in The Walking Dead. Stop trying to humanise the monster, it just doesn’t work. Everything that’s happened

We’re almost halfway through The Walking Dead season 8, yet the quality of each episode has been… inconsistent, to say the least.

Our favorite small town simulator is finally back on the radar with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. As well as building hype for a game that’s been actually announced, Nintendo is sneakily encouraging more excitement for a possible Switch version of Animal Crossing. And the core Animal Crossing team should have a new project on their plate since they finished up with Splatoon 2 earlier this year. A more diverse cast of animalsIt’s not called Animal Crossing for nothing. What would you love to see

With the exception of one or two anomalies, the Star Wars films have always been pretty good at hitting the sweet spot of a decent runtime, but Star Wars: The Last Jedi is striding into uncharted territory with its theatrical length, which director Rian Johnson revealed in an interview last week. Talking at a press conference in France, Johnson announced that the runtime for Star Wars 8 is 150 minutes, including credits. That’s 2 hours, 30 minutes in total, officially making it the longest Star

Kelly Marie Tran plays Rose Tico, a Resistance engineer who becomes Finn’s new partner in crime in the continued fight against the First Order. Here’s what she had to say about playing Rose, her relationship to Finn, and how she’s dealt will all the Star Wars mayhem so far. She’s in the Resistance, and she is aware of things that are happening, but she’s always been someone who’s worked behind pipes, fixing things. When Rose first meets Finn, Finn is already a hero of the Resistance, so she’s he

Dystopian anthology series Black Mirror has always featured completely standalone stories. But in an interview with Total Film, creator Charlie Brooker says all that’s about to change with season 4. Total Film also spoke to John Hillcoat, the guy that brought the apocalyptic horror of The Road the big screen, and director for the Black Mirror episode ‘Crocodile.’ ‘Crocodile’ stars Andrea Riseborough and covers classic Black Mirror territory, with a story that examines an uncomfortable convergenc

But no need to worry about that anymore, because the game is getting a new “Safe Mode” option on December 1 – the same day it arrives on Xbox One. What is Safe Mode? “My point of view is the monsters work from a thematic, but not gameplay, point of view,” they wrote. I suppose it’s a good thing that Safe Mode is an option – that way, people can have their existential dread and eat it, too. Do horror games work better with your life on the line, or should a story and atmosphere take precedence?

The PlayStation Store couldn’t stand the wait; it’s already hosting a weekend full of early Black Friday gaming deals for PS Plus members.

Justice League wham, bam, zooms into theaters today – but don’t think that Warner Bros. has forgotten about the small screens of the world. Starting today, you can earn gear from the Justice League movie in the DC fighting game, Injustice 2. From there, you should see six special events, each one corresponding to a member of the Justice League. You can always tell if the Multiverse option is part of the tie-in because it will say “unlock Justice League movie gear”. You’ll have until Monday, Nove

Following the altercation, a nearby, unnamed observer – could be the goon from before, could be someone else; Justice League pays little attention or clarity to characters who aren’t the Justice League, as will become increasingly evident – asks what the hell he just saw. This disturbingly prescient, unnamed nobody somehow knows as much as Batman does, and no-one ever knows as much as Batman does. But Justice League does not give us one, because it does not give us a villain. But this is the fir

Released between Morrowind, a volcanic land of warring elf houses, and Skyrim, an untamed Nordic wilderness, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion seems positively mundane. The skill system was a hodgepodge of stats, major skills and minor skills that were so minor as to include Athletics and Acrobatics – or running and jumping. Its main quest often sent you on sabbatical to get more levels and adventure under your belt – kicking back with perennial distractions such as the Fighters Guild was sanctione

The 35th Golden Joystick Awards presented with OMEN by HP have just come to an end, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild emerging victorious with five awards to its name. “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild picks up an incredible five awards, including the Best Studio category, making it the first game to win both the Critics’ Choice Award and public-voted Ultimate Game of the Year award,” said Dan Dawkins, our illustrious leader and Global Editor-In-Chief of GamesRadar+.
