Review: ‘Borderlands’ is a game-to-screen misfire so thoroughly bad, it’s breathtaking

In Eli Roth’s poorly inspired science fiction adventure “Borderlands,” the character Claptrap, a sarcastic robot voiced by Jack Black, recalls the humor from the TV show “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” where intelligent robots mock cheesy B-movies. Black’s biting remarks, directed at the motley crew of characters searching for keys to unlock an ancient vault of wisdom, are the only enjoyable elements in this failed film adaptation of the first-person-shooter video game, bearable only in brief moments.

All Elite Wrestling misses Kenny Omega

For nearly eight months now, Kenny Omega hasn’t wrestled in an AEW ring due to a series of injuries. Most recently, he’s been battling diverticulitis, which has kept him out of action indefinitely. Despite this, everyone from fans to critics and fellow wrestlers is hoping for his swift and complete recovery. However, it can’t be denied that AEW is feeling the absence of “The Best Bout Machine.”

In ‘Mr. Throwback,’ Stephen Curry shoots for a new title: charming actor

As a lifelong basketball enthusiast and someone who has followed Stephen Curry’s career since his days at Davidson College, I must say that it’s fascinating to see him dominating the television screens this week, particularly on Peacock. Of course, the Olympic Games are always a highlight for sports fans like me, and Peacock is doing an excellent job of covering them. However, what has really caught my attention is the premiere of “Mr. Throwback,” the new sitcom that debuts on Thursday. Given my limited knowledge of Curry’s off-court interests, I can’t be certain if this show is something he’s been asked about during his time in Paris for the Olympics, but considering his humble and classy demeanor, it seems unlikely that he would bring it up himself. Regardless, I am excited to see how Curry navigates his acting debut and hope that “Mr. Throwback” is a success.
