‘Rise of the Ronin’ Squanders a Promising Concept With Clunky Combat and an Uninspired Story: Video Game Review

Katcy Stephan SPOILER ALERT: This review discusses minor plot details and gameplay elements from “Rise of the Ronin.” “Rise of the Ronin,” the latest release from “Nioh” developer Team Ninja, is one of the most highly-anticipated game releases of the year, promising a high-octane role-playing story combining eastern and western combat styles. From its announcement, “Rise of the Ronin” drew inevitable comparisons to Sucker Punch’s critically-acclaimed 2020 release “Ghost of Tsushima.” It’s understandable: although “Ronin” takes place about 600 years after “Ghost,” both follow samurai warriors in Japan as they swing their swords in an action-adventure open world.

Brad Pitt has “shit list” of actors he’d never work with, says Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Brad Pitt has a “shit list” of actors he’d never work with, according to his Bullet Train co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.In a recent interview with Variety, Taylor-Johnson spoke about his experience of working with Pitt, describing him as a “humble and gracious human being”.“He just wants to bring light and joy into the world and be around people who are there to have a good time,” Taylor-Johnson explained.“You work with many actors and after a while, you start making notes, ‘I am definitely not working with this person ever again.’ Brad has this list too: the good list and the shit list.”One actor who clearly resides on Pitt’s “good list” is Sandra Bullock, who also features in the recently released action-thriller Bullet Train.Pitt had previously told The Daily Mail: “Sandy is an old friend. She’s a diehard person I could call for favours over the years and I have done many times, and she’s always there.“Her timing was great, she was a great person to have in my ear in a situation like that, which is actually kind of intimate.”Bullet Train marks the pair’s second collaboration this year, with Pitt previously appearing in Bullock’s action-adventure movie The Lost City, which also starred Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe.In June, Pitt suggested that he was on the “last leg” of his acting career, with his eye now turning to roles behind the camera.“I consider myself on my last leg,” He told GQ.

Michael Douglas says Debra Winger lost ‘Romancing The Stone’ role after biting him
Romancing The Stone – but she lost the role after biting him.The actor, who played mercenary Jack Colton in the 1984 action-adventure rom-com, explained on podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe how he met Winger while she was in production for Terms Of Endearment.“[Winger] comes with us to have dinner one night, we’re talking and we’re knocking back tequilas,” Douglas said.“We walk out and, just as you would kind of go ‘Oh you!’ and give someone a punch in the arm, she goes ‘Oh you!’ and she reaches over and she bites me – on my arm. I’m like, ‘Aaargh!’ She bites me.“She’s joking and I’m looking at her thinking, ‘I don’t know man, this could be rough… she’s broken the skin!’”When Douglas went back for a meeting with the studio and director Robert Zemeckis about Winger, the actor said he couldn’t do the role opposite her due to the biting incident.“I break down in tears and say, ‘I can’t go to the jungle with her – she bit me on the arm! I can’t do it – it’s not worth it!’ So they said, ‘OK, all right.’” Alongside Douglas and Turner, Romancing The Stone starred Danny DeVito, Zack Norman, Alfonsu Arau and Manuel Ojeda.Douglas is set to reprise his role of Hank Pym in Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, alongside Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michelle Pfeiffer.
