After last week’s debacle of an episode, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with how well True Blood rebounded with “Fire in the Hole.” Perhaps it is simply a case of the series choosing to spread its focus more evenly among the series’s more interesting characters, but this episode was engaging and well-written, […]
The creative team behind Lazarus has been building the current storyline slowly, as issue #9 is part five of the arc. While the pace building up in the series lately has at times been a little slower than would be ideal, the conclusion of the arc in Lazarus #9 is well handled. Greg Rucka and […]
The Leftovers is not the feel-good romp of the summer. It very may well be the exact opposite. When the inciting incident of a series is the unexplained disappearance of two percent of the world’s population, you know that there is going to be some serious drama up in here. It is a decidedly grim […]
My reading of Archie #647, the first and only Archie comic I’ve ever read ever, is one of favorite articles (go read it if you haven’t. Spoiler alert: Archie’s a monster and his world is insane) and it was a blast to write. Because of that, I have always wanted to do another reading, but […]
12 Years a Slave, based on the non-fiction book of the same name, is the Oscar-winning biographical epic by Steve McQueen. The film’s weighty narrative follows the abduction and suffering of free-born musician, Solomon Northup into the southern slave trade. McQueen set the bar pretty high for himself with his first two feature-length films (Hunger, 2009 and […]
There’s a constant “how-are-they-doing-this?” feeling that runs through your head as The Lego Movie plays itself out in front of you. It does not really matter if you have a longing, nostalgic affection for the plastic bricks or not (although, guilty); this is a movie about playing with toys, about doing something different and being […]
After taking a stumble with last week’s weak battle for the Wall, Game of Thrones returns with a balanced and excellent season finale that sets up a number of interesting mysteries for season five, completely changing the entire trajectory of the series in the process. On its surface, “The Children” may seem like an average […]
Road movie, sci-fi, action, and horror add up to a whole lot of nothing. William Eubank’s indie, The Signal, has a lot of potential, but fails to generate any interest in a boring, and poorly plotted film. Nic, Haley, and Jonah are buddies driving through the Great American desert. Nic and Jonah are two bright […]
Tracks is a movie that was over 30 years in the making with actresses like Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts being attached to the project. Lead by Mia Wasikowska, Tracks is an interesting, thematic character study. In the mid-seventies, Robyn Davidson (Wasikowska) is a determined young woman who leaves the big city behind for Alice Springs in […]
