Eye on Horror

In war, as Eye in the Sky quotes at the outset, truth is the first casualty. In order to stop an Al Shabab suicide bomber, a little girl may have to lose her life – symbolic of all collateral damage in the course of war.

Not your Average Game

Andrew Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is blessed (?) with the right quotient of aggression that could wipe the Formics off the face of the universe and once and for all avenge the pogrom they unleashed upon mankind.
