Most job seekers want to minimize their efforts in applying for a job. You may be following the same instinct while applying for a job. A few edits of the existing resume to match the position, and you are ready to go. But things go south when you stumble upon a form field that asks for a cover letter tailored to the job post. A cover letter is an essential part of any job application, and the irony is these differ for each job role....
The contest is open to game studios and other brands looking to promote their products in Fall Guys, which is currently the most-watched game on Twitch and the third most-played game on Steam behind only Valve’s own CS:GO and Dota 2. To enter, brands can bid on how much they’d be willing to donate to Special Effect. The highest bidder wins. “The thirst from brands has been unreal, so we’re turning it into something positive!...
The World We Make by N.K.Jemisin Type: NovelPublisher: OrbitRelease date: November 1 Den of Geek says: One of the most anticipated science fiction novels of the year reveals itself this week. Jemisin’s first novel of sentient New York City (and a little bit of Jersey) ended with a big eldritch battle that is only the beginning for the duology. What’s next for the gang, especially the reclusive and corrupted avatar of Staten Island?...

Better Call Saul Season 4 Episode 5 Is it possible to enjoy Better Call Saul without first having seen Breaking Bad? It’s been a question asked about BCS since it first aired, but I saw some particularly lively discussion about the topic on Twitter this past week. The short answer is absolutely. Jimmy, Kim, Nacho, and Mike are compelling characters regardless of whether you know what befalls half of the group later on....
The new version, directed by Sophia Takal and co-written by her and April Wolfe, is a different prospect entirely. It’s still set on a college campus with a group of women staying behind during the hiatus at their sorority house, but there the similarities take a sharp turn: this Black Christmas is very much of its time and deals with issues of toxic masculinity, rape culture, female empowerment, the role of diverse voices in the classroom, and the effects of social media, all within the stylized aesthetic of a ‘70s horror film....
The fourth season of Black Lightning will be its last and, barring any CW superhero crossover cameos or the greenlighting of the Painkiller spinoff, this may be the last time we will see these particular iterations of these comic book characters. The benefit of knowing the end is coming—a relative rarity in broadcast network TV, which are traditionally designed to run forever—is that it can allow writers to go places they might not otherwise go....
Even 25 years ago, the idea got stale fast as one Tarantino wannabe after another tried and failed to emulate the original. The film thinks it’s being clever, but the mix of pop culture-drenched, faux-savvy dialogue, ironic and plentiful needle drops, “look at me” cameos, and cartoon-y violence was a lot better back when QT was first doing it. Based on a novel by Japanese author Kōtarō Isaka, the movie is slightly enlivened by hard-working performances from Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, and Brian Tyree Henry, as well as some striking design and cinematography, but when a movie only identifies its inch-deep characters by cutesy nicknames like Ladybug, Lemon, and Tangerine – all of whom are supposedly deadly assassins, by the way – one knows that the character development is all but invisible....
Released in Japan in December 2011 as the follow-up to the PSP, the PlayStation Vita was positioned to be the direct challenger to the Nintendo 3DS (which debuted earlier that year). In retrospect, though, it feels more accurate to say that the PS Vita was designed to compete with the Nintendo DS. After all, Nintendo was still trying to sell people on the 3DS’ core gimmick during the course of its slow rollout (and would continue to struggle to do so during the handheld’s run), whereas the DS was still seen by many as the definitive handheld gaming device on the market and arguably the best handheld ever made....

Yet only one director has had the chance to reboot and reinvent the character twice, with two different actors: Martin Campbell. His first Bond effort, 1995’s GoldenEye, came after a six-year hiatus and introduced Pierce Brosnan as a more suave 007 after the humorless Timothy Dalton. The film also dealt head-on with Bond’s relevance in a post-Cold War world and whether he was a relic himself. Campbell got the call again a decade later when Brosnan left the series after the woeful, ridiculous Die Another Day....
The endgame is finally here in Castlevania season 4, which sees Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard face off against the forces of evil that wish to wipe out humanity. While the story takes a few interesting turns you’re not expecting, fans of the long-running Konami series will likely notice quite a few connections to the original video games. As you’d expect, that all means that there are plenty of easter eggs and references to the games as well as real-world history in Castlevania season 4....
It may not seem like it during the first five plodding episodes of Castlevania season 4, but this is meant to be our last trip with Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, Saint Germain, Carmilla, Hector, and Isaac. After years of vampire wars and plots for world domination, the many sides fighting to decide the fate of the planet finally reach the endgame. Yes, the final season of the best video game adaptation ever made suffers from many of the same pacing issues as past seasons....
Netflix has released the first images previewing Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, a historical drama set in 1927 Chicago, in which Viola Davis co-stars as the eponymous Ma Rainey, a popular Southern singer dubbed the “Mother of Blues,” who’s come to the Second City for a crucial recording session; an endeavor complicated by her ambitious, machinations-making trumpeter, Levee (Boseman), and clashes with her manager—and other elements of the white-dominated music industry—over the creative direction of the music....

Clarice Episode 10 Clarice, episode 10, “Motherless Child,” finally addresses the elephant in the room. Well, almost. The Silence of the Lambs spinoff is a series of almosts. Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) almost gets killed every episode, as well as nearly always coming to the edge of getting fired, sometimes twice in an installment. Tonight, Clarice almost helps Catherine Martin (Marnee Carpenter), who almost kills Buffalo Bill’s mom, Lila Gumb (Maria Ricossa)....
While certain life-shaking events have taken place in the 16 years since Smith made Clerks II—events which we won’t reveal here—the new movie gets the most mileage out of familiar situations and characters in the orbit of the Quick Stop, the fictional New Jersey store based on Smith’s own early work history at a convenience store before he became a filmmaker. Yet while the film retains much of the often coarse, crude humor of many of Smith’s earlier View Askewniverse movies, and while his filmmaking style still usually hinges on long, static shots of people just standing around and talking, there are enough narrative developments, as well as an overall sense of melancholy, to give Clerks III more than a dollop of, dare we say, gravitas....
Counterpart Season 1 Episode 9 Could it be that Counterpart is trying to distract viewers from a deeper mission by focusing on the thwarted attack in this week’s episode? The cards may be out on the table between Peter and Clare, Howard and Emily Prime, and elsewhere, but it’s difficult to accept the idea that sleeper agents prepared for decades just to shoot up the Strategy and Diplomacy offices, shocking as it was to watch unfold....
Creed ended in such a good place–with Adonis embracing his heritage as Apollo’s son, forging his own destiny as a fighter, and finding friendship and love with Rocky and a musician named Bianca (Tessa Thompson)–that a sequel, while inevitable after the movie proved a hit, seemed like a bad idea from the get-go. Remember all those average-to-poor Rocky sequels? And Creed II, it seemed, would be a semi-sequel to one of the least impressive Rocky movies, the Cold War-inspired Rocky IV....
Critical Role, the live role-playing series, can be, in a word, daunting. The actual-play stream has been running for years, featuring a cast of professional voice actors and friends playing characters in long-running campaigns once a week, every Thursday, for four hours a session. That’s a huge time sink for the uninitiated, and it can be intimidating! Fortunately, now’s a great time to get started. Last October, Critical Role returned from a hiatus with their third campaign set in DM Matt Mercer’s homebrew world of Exandria....
