House of the Dragon – Queen’s Landing Review
In the pilot of Game of Thrones, Ned Stark teaches Jon, Robb, and Theon a crucial lesson that resonates throughout the rest of the series: He who passes sentence should swing the sword. It might not be the exact lesson Daemon was attempting to teach Rhaenyra as she prepared to ascend to the Iron Throne, […]

The Bear Season Five Post Mortem
This review contains spoilers for the final, fifth season of Hulu’s The Bear. Over the years, The Bear has struggled with cohesion.

Leviticus Review
Although Jennifer Kent’s debut film, The Babadook, brought international attention to the Australian horror scene, little would come of it until nearly a decade later.

The Furious Review
Hong Kong was once at the forefront of action cinema the world over. While the ’80s were a time of maximalist, muscular blockbusters flooding out of the United States, the East Asian city (then a British colony) punched well above its weight. Following the work done by Bruce Lee and the Shaw Brothers to soften […]
