![]() There’s a touch of 1980s Hong Kong action cinema in the way that director Edward Zwick and his co-writer Marshall Herskovitz (rewriting Richard Wenk’s script) juxtapose bone-breaking fisticuffs with deadpan-goofy scenes where Jack and Susan-who’s basically a female Jack, with the same anger-flexing jawline-struggle to protect and half-assedly parent Samantha as the trio runs from city to city, fending off assassins and trying to clear Susan’s name. nurture, with a bit of shooting and punching thrown in-but the filmmakers never figure out how to excavate it. There’s a great movie buried somewhere in here-a strange but beguiling family comedy and a meditation on nature vs. It’s a pity that “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” fails to support Cruise and his co-stars, all of whom are acting as if their lives depended on it. We get a sense, more from watching Cruise than from any of the forgettable dialogue the character’s been given, that Jack inflicts violence because it’s the only thing he’s really good at that it may in fact be his only form of cowardice-a means of running away from adult responsibilities-and that he has no idea what to say to a romantic partner or a child during quiet moments. ![]() His performance tries to delve deeper than the film will allow. This is the kind of setup that Clint Eastwood might’ve handled with aplomb back in the day-in fact, Eastwood’s early masterpiece “ The Outlaw Josey Wales,” tells a thematically similar story about a loner who acquires a "family"-and although Cruise is diminutive compared to Eastwood, he does a credible version of Clint’s squint and hair-trigger lethality. So of course “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” based on Lee Child’s novel, has the bright idea of outfitting Jack with a makeshift nuclear family consisting of a female Army major, Susan Turner ( Cobie Smulders), who’s had a bloody conspiracy wrongly pinned on her, and a teenage girl named Samantha Dayton ( Danika Yarosh), who might or might not be Jack’s daughter by a previous dalliance. He is not, to put it mildly, father or husband material. He lives in fleabag motels, gets around by hitchhiking, and tends to communicate with his fists, though only after repeated warnings have failed. He’s a loner with no middle name and no fixed address.

In true Street Fighter fashion it was largely the same as the previous release but with more characters, some more modes including that all-important online multiplayer, and several other refinements making it the definitive Street Fighter IV release on mobile. Capcom delivered this a little over a year after Street Fighter IV’s mobile release with Street Fighter IV Volt. And while its local Bluetooth multiplayer was a welcome addition when running into someone else with a copy of the game in real life, the number one request from players was for true online multiplayer. Street Fighter IV proved popular on mobile, even breaking into the top 5 in the paid charts at the “high" price of $10, and it was well-supported receiving new characters and features in updates after its release. Not absolutely ideal mind you, but good enough to replicate the full Street Fighter experience even if you were standing in line at the movies. Anyway, more important than the choice of visuals was that Street Fighter IV on mobile played surprisingly well with virtual buttons. ![]() It gave the game more of a claymation look, which was kind of neat, but it was also an odd choice given that iOS hardware even at that time was capable of some pretty good 3D visuals. Whereas the console version of Street Fighter IV was a fully polygonal 3D game, the mobile version took the strange approach of pre-rendering scaled down versions of those same console fighter models and animating them into the game like a more typical sprite-based 2D fighting game. However, although it wasn’t the first fighter on iOS, in March of 2010 Capcom released Street Fighter IV to the App Store, a mobile take on their series reboot from the previous year. It didn’t seem like the best genre to try and bring to touchscreen devices. And fighting games have always been ALL about button inputs. For the most part though, bringing traditional console and arcade style games to mobile meant dealing with virtual buttons overlain on the screen. In the best of cases they have caused developers to think outside the box and invent new and exciting input methods for playing games sans physical buttons. Anyhoo, touchscreens have always been a sticking point when it comes to gaming on mobile devices. ![]() If you’re here just to read about the nuts and bolts of the Street Fighter IV Champion Edition ($4.99) which just dropped in the App Store, then skip on down to the sixth paragraph for more on that. If you’re interested in a bit of that history, well, read on my friends. ![]() For being arguably the most well-known fighting game franchise in the world, Street Fighter has a pretty weird history on mobile. ![]() The Weeknd)’Ī less personal track, this is Beyoncé’s ode to hard-working women. Key lyrics: “ Today I regret the night I put that ring on… I left a note in the hallway / By the time you read it, I’ll be far away” 5. Gossip columns allege that ‘Becky’ is really called Rachel Roy. This is a synth jam in which Bey embodies ‘sorry not sorry’, and makes reference to “Becky with the good hair”, who Jay has apparently been sleeping with. Key lyrics: “ This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this shit again / You gon’ lose your wife” 4. Jack White brings vocal distortion and blues to this Led Zeppelin-sampling rocker in which Bey loses her shit. Key lyrics: “ Going through your call list / I don’t wanna lose my pride, but I’ma fuck me up a bitch” 3. In the film version of this track, Bey wanders the streets bashing in car windows with a baseball bat, and later driving over a series of parked cars with a monster truck. They’re also partly interpolated from a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song called ‘Maps’. ![]() ![]() ‘Hold Up’įun fact about this one: Ezra Koenig tweeted the lyrics to its chorus five years ago and now they’re on the song. Key lyrics: “ I’m prayin’ you catch me listening / I’m prayin’ to catch you whispering” 2. “ You can taste the dishonesty” are the album’s bleak first words. Opening with deep synth, and choral harmonies sung by Beyoncé, this piano- and strings-backed ballad opens the album with suspicion, as Beyoncé notes strange behaviour from her husband. ![]() It feels as appropriate an end as any to ‘Lemonade’: sweet but with an edge, as she recalls, “ Our love was stronger than your pride”. But the final four tracks see quality return, and penultimate track ‘All Night’, in particular, is one of Beyoncé’s most nuanced vocal performances to date. Where her huge team fails to innovate is on the album’s drab middle few cuts about acceptance and forgiveness – chief among them the horrible hoedown ‘Daddy Lessons’, which blends whooping with boring rhymes (“ Daddy made me fight / It wasn’t always right”). Even blues-rock hero Jack White has a turn, sampling Led Zeppelin on ‘Lemonade’’s most vital track, ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’. Among swathes of collaborators, some surprising names crop up, including James Blake, who lends gravitas to weepy cut ‘Forward’, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, who helped produce the lethal sing-song cut ‘Hold Up’. Like some of the most anticipated albums of the year so far – Rihanna’s ‘Anti’ and Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ – ‘Lemonade’ is strikingly varied. Kendrick Lamar)’ addresses the Black Lives Matter movement: alongside Beyoncé’s tour-de-force vocal Kendrick bristles, “ Six headlights wavin’ in my direction / Five-O asking me what’s in my possession.” The significance of the album’s title is spelt out for listeners in the same track, with Jay Z’s mother, Hattie White rephrasing the proverb “when life gives you lemons…” Many expected the subject of ‘Lemonade’ to follow the springy, markedly political steps of lead single ‘Formation’, but only ‘Freedom (feat. These words come from a woman whose public image is so clean that FLOTUS Michelle Obama has said she wants to be her. When, moments later (on ‘Sorry’) she tells Jay Z to “ suck on my balls” the sense of release is palpable. ‘Lemonade’’s first four tracks are a thrillingly honest sucker-punch from a famously guarded pop star, who came to fame via Destiny’s Child and whose picture-perfect solo career has since helped her amass a fortune exceeding $450m. If these lyrics aren’t fiction, the man she’s castigating for adultery in the most public forum possible is her multimillionaire husband, Jay Z: “ If you try this sh*t again,” she snarls, “ you gon’ lose your wife.” “ You ain’t married to no average bitch, boy”. “ Who the fuck do you think I am?” Beyoncé demands three tracks into her unforeseeably bold sixth album, ‘Lemonade’, her voice dripping with distortion.

In June 2005, IGN reported having 24,000,000 unique visitors per month, with 4.8 million registered users through all departments of the site. IGN prevailed with growing audience numbers and a newly established subscription service called IGN Insider (later IGN Prime), which led to the shedding of the name "Snowball" and adoption of IGN Entertainment on May 10, 2002. Snowball held an IPO in 2000, but shed most of its other properties during the dot-com bubble. At the same time, small entertainment website The Den merged into IGN and added non-gaming content to the growing network. In September, the newly spun-out standalone internet media company, changed its name to. That same month, Imagine Media incorporated a spin-off that included IGN and its affiliate channels as Affiliation Networks, while Simpson-Bint remained at the former company. In February 1999, PC Magazine named IGN one of the hundred-best websites, alongside competitors GameSpot and CNET Gamecenter. dissolved with the cancellation of the magazine, and Next-Generation was put "on hold" when Imagine decided to concentrate on launching the short-lived Daily Radar brand. Next-Generation and Ultra Game Players Online were not part of this consolidation U.G.P.O. The homepage exposed content from more than 30 different channels. In 1998, the network launched a new homepage that consolidated the individual sites as system channels under the IGN brand. Imagine expanded on its owned-and-operated websites by creating an affiliate network that included a number of independent fansites such as PSX, , Game Sages, and GameFAQs. IGN Entertainment's former headquarters in Brisbane, CaliforniaĬreated in September 1996 as the Imagine Games Network, the IGN content network was founded by publishing executive Jonathan Simpson-Bint and began as five individual websites within Imagine Media: N64.com (later renamed ), PSXPower, Saturnworld, and Ultra Game Players Online. IGN was sold to publishing company Ziff Davis in February 2013 and now operates as a J2 Global subsidiary. Originally, IGN was the flagship website of IGN Entertainment, a website which owned and operated several other websites oriented towards players' interests, games, and entertainment, such as Rotten Tomatoes, GameSpy, GameStats, VE3D, TeamXbox, Vault Network, FilePlanet, and AskMen, among others. Originally a network of desktop websites, IGN is now also distributed on mobile platforms, console programs on the Xbox and PlayStation, FireTV, Roku, and via YouTube, Twitch, Hulu, and Snapchat. It focuses on games, films, television, comics, technology, and other media. The IGN website was the brainchild of media entrepreneur Chris Anderson and launched on September 29, 1996. The company is located in San Francisco's SoMa district and is headed by its former editor-in-chief, Peer Schneider.

The S3 filter at the top right has the most neutral white tones. The K1 filter at the bottom left has a pinkish tone. In the screenshots below, you can see subtle color differences created by the different VSCO filters. ![]() When editing photos with white subjects and backgrounds, pay attention to slight changes in color tone when you apply a filter. The image looks much cleaner and fresher than the original. ![]() The S3 filter makes the flowers and background appear brighter and whiter. Below is the original photo of some white flowers in a vase. But with so many filters to choose from, it can be difficult to know which ones create a particular look or feel. ![]() It brightened up the image and made the colors more vibrant. My favorite filter for this particular photo was S3. Below are some different edits using a variety of VSCO filters. There are two main editing techniques that affect mood: color and light. VSCO filters are a great tool for making subtle changes to the mood and style of your photos. But you can further enhance or change the mood of a photo in editing. Of course, mood is often created at the time of shooting. The H3 filter subtly brightened the image and added pretty pink tones to the flowers and background. Your edit is now saved within the VSCO app. These let you adjust exposure, color, sharpness, etc. But there are many more filters available. VSCO filters are named with letters and numbers, e. This is because you can only edit one image at a time. It has a little bit of blue undertone to it.Ī4 has a pink undertone and a very pretty vintage look.VSCO filters offer a quick one-tap editing solution for enhancing your iPhone photos. I think I like the vintage vibes that it gives my pictures. So now that we covered which filters to use for portrait or your Intagram pictures I will show you which ones I use to edit my interior design photos. I just love the vintage feel, it looks like those old pictures taken on film. I use this filter a lot for portraits that I will print later. S1 will give you the same vintage feel as LV3 but with less warmth to it. It is a much more warm filter so it might not be the best choice if you already have a lot of yellow tones in it. I use the C2 a lot for my interior design pictures because I love the glow it gives. This is my go to filter for my decor photos. I love the pink undertones that this filter has. C2 is my all time favorite Vsco filter code. It will give your subject that glow but still highlight the right areas.
