Westworld – Akane No Mai Review

I have a proposal for Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy: Let’s just spend the rest of the Westworld season with Maeve and her band of interesting supporting characters (including their delightful Shogun World counterparts). Let’s follow them as they explore the parks and Maeve’s ever-growing power. Let’s see Maeve try and find her daughter (who I […]

Legion – Chapter 13 Review

I’ve consistently praised Aubrey Plaza’s great work throughout the first season and a half of Legion, and I’ve certainly wanted to see more of her and Lenny as the series continues to unspool itself. So while it was lovely to get an hour centered on Lenny (even if it was just an hour answering the big […]

Westworld – Journey Into Night Review

My main complaint about season one of Westworld (which was also the main complaint of seemingly every other TV critic) was that the series was far more concerned with creating and springing its puzzle box traps than with crafting a complex and interesting story populated by complex and interesting characters.

Game Night Review

R-rated comedies have been a staple for Hollywood since the success of The Hangover – relatively cheap films that are highly profitable but often a lazy form of filmmaking. Fortunately, Game Night is an R-rated comedy that stands above many of its competitors. Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) are a highly competitive married couple who spend one […]

Pacific Rim Uprising Review

2013’s Pacific Rim was the perfect monster film. Though disparaged by critics who aren’t fans of the genre, for audiences who are, the perfect storm of invading aliens and huge mecha-suits, alongside the implacable determination of the human spirit — it all comes together to create an unrivaled action-packed and genuinely moving visual spectacle. It’s also a […]
