I’ll admit that I had a hard time really getting into Lucky, the new thriller from AppleTV+ that is based on the novel of the same name. There’s a lot of action – car chases, foot races, hiding behind large vehicles whilst someone stalks around with a gun. And there’s a decent enough story being […]
There’s nothing all that original about Ride or Die, the new comedic thriller from Prime Video. When watching it, you’ll see nearly all of the twists coming. You likely won’t find it all that funny (sorry to the writers but “harried and manic” isn’t really a viable comedic styling). And the general conceit – two […]
Moana is the latest Disney animated classic to get the live-action remake treatment. This version gets Dwayne Johnson as the egotistical demigod Maui. Long ago, the demigod Maui stole the Heart of Te Fiti, resulting in a blight that spread across the world. This blight finally reaches Motunui, leading their crops to fail and fish […]
Night Nurse is the rare film that features exactly zero characters. Oh, there are plenty of people, to be sure. Most of them even have names! But that’s approximately where their definition stops. Each is a nurse at the same assisted living facility, the kind where the patients have complete freedom to roam and drive […]
Well, it appears that the Targaryens aren’t the only sadistic, power-hungry forces in Westeros. Ormund Hightower is pretty darn horrific in his own right. Although, anyone familiar with the goings on in Westeros likely wasn’t shocked to see that Alicent’s cousin, and guardian of her youngest son, Daeron, has his own designs on the Iron […]

After the 1999 Kargil War, Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat (Bobby Deol) launches the Alpha project, a program to create super-soldiers. However, everyone who was given the Alpha serum dies, except a young girl whose mother […]
The Five Star Weekend isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name, the story is pretty simple, the execution is solid, and the characters are pretty archetypal. But what the show has going for it is the sensational cast of actors inhabiting this basic tale of friendship, grief, […]
This week in Queen’s Landing, Rhaenyra learned an incredibly difficult but crucial lesson: It’s not easy being Queen. Because it turns out, everyone wants a piece of you – from your fellow nobles and family to the small folk who rely on the crown for aid. And, she also learned, it’s not possible to give […]
The Minions have returned for a third spin-off and a seventh film overall. The prequel sees the yellow creatures conquering Hollywood and summoning monsters. A tribe of Minions finds itself in 1920s Hollywood while searching for a new fiendish master. They quickly become the toast of the town because of their slapstick antics, but their […]
