I’m not sure if you’ve heard but there is a new Star Wars movie coming out. I know, right… I hadn’t heard about it, either! They probably should have had some sort of advertising or media coverage. Oh well, before or after you check out The Force Awakens, you can satiate your thirst for The […]
There’s something truly special about Transparent– it just keeps getting better. While the series had a strong freshman outing in 2014 (and was rewarded handsomely for it, most recently with a number of Emmys this past September), its second season (which I have seen in its entirety) manages to actually improve on the strengths of […]
Krampus is the evil shadow of Santa Claus who viciously attacks families who have seemingly lost the Christmas spirit. He is huge, he’s ugly, he has hooves, he jumps from roof to roof, and he has quite a few minions to help to do his bidding. Krampus is directed by Michael Dougherty, responsible for the […]
This week’s episode of Da Vinci’s Demons relies on exposition to explain what has happened to Lorenzo (Elliot Cowan) this season. Florence’s otherwise intellectual and compassionate leader has turned into a violent, mentally disturbed, and aggressive tyrant. In a well-done scene, back in the Medici home, Lorenzo is taking off the Turkish armor that he […]
Well, that was an all-around disappointment, was it not? To be fair, I wasn’t expecting all that much, in light of the uninspiring first half of the two-parter on Tuesday (check out my Flash counterpart Alexander Wong’s excellent take on “Legends of Today” here), but that had to be one of the worst Arrow episode’s […]
Supergirl fans might be wondering where Kara’s famous cousin has been, but the mystery will soon be solved. CBS has announced that they are looking to cast a younger version of Superman. Supergirl is aiming to reveal its version of Superman early next year. The twist is that fans will be meeting the superhero before […]
Isn’t this just a retelling of The Family Stone? The challenge will be to provide something new for families this Christmas season. Charlotte Cooper (Diane Keaton) merely wants to get her family together for Christmas. An annual event that may be familiar to many people for bringing with it both joy and trepidation to all involved. Her husband, […]
Have you ever felt like being in complete control of the lives of seven people? If you have, well, that’s actually kinda weird… But now you can in Supermassive Games’s survival horror Playstation 4 exclusive, Until Dawn. The game takes place on a snowy mountain retreat where seven youths reunite a year after a terrible […]
Last week, I decided to give Supergirl one more episode to win me over. Time to figure out its characters, determine how to talk about feminism and real issues intelligently. Whatever. I was just looking for a demonstration of the show simply working. And I thought if any episode could do it, one with an […]
The world remains fascinated by Steve Jobs. Only four years have passed since his untimely death from cancer in 2011, but the genius behind Apple has already been the subject of three movies. Ashton Kutcher got there first with a run-of-the-mill biopic which hardly anyone saw and, the few who did, have forgotten already. Alex […]
