Matt Damon's forgotten fantasy blockbuster deserves another look before The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is prompting movie fans revisiting just about every corner of Matt Damon's career.

The modern Final Fantasy era began 25 years ago, with one fan-favorite game

In July 2000, Final Fantasy 9 launched in Japan. As the last PlayStation entry in the series, it featured numerous familiar elements, ranging from magical crystals to black mages with pointed caps.
