I was not a fan of season three of Ted Lasso. It was overlong, unfocused, and, somehow, still shockingly rushed at the end. So, when it was announced that the series would be returning after a three-year hiatus – this time, with Ted returning to Richmond to coach their up-and-coming women’s team – I was […]
Ted Lasso – Home Review
When a friend asked me how I would describe the fourth season of Ted Lasso, the best description I could come up with – based largely on this season premiere – was a warm hug. Because, considering the polarizing nature of the show’s third season – which I enjoyed at the outset and then was […]
Sunny Dancer Review
Sunny Dancer is a British coming-of-age comedy-drama that tells the story of a group of teenage cancer survivors bonding over the course of one summer. Ivy Pritchard (Bella Ramsey) is a 17-year-old girl who has been in remission for 10 months. Ivy has become more closed off, leading her parents (James Norton and Jessica Gunning) […]
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man returns to the cinema for the first time in five years with Spider-Man: Brand New Day acting as a soft reboot of the MCU version of the character. It has been four years since Peter Parker (Tom Holland) made a big sacrifice to save his universe. He has acted as a solo […]
House of the Dragon – The Dragon in Winter Review
Oh Rhaenyra, you’re in danger, girl. And not just from the newly risen Aegon and Sunfyre, who are now almost certainly on their way to take back what is theirs. You can’t trust Daemon – although, can you really blame him for wanting to protect his daughter (who he couldn’t have cared less about a […]
The Vampire Lestat Post-Mortem
The interesting trick of Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Lestat” novel is that, after an incredibly successful novel telling the story of Louis, Lestat, Claudia, Armand, and Daniel Malloy from the perspective of Louis (and, in the TV series, Armand as well), we get to see the thoughts of the brash, angry, and so selfish Lestat. […]
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender Review
Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series that is loved by children and adults. It’s a fantasy-action series that combined martial arts, Eastern philosophy and spiritual beliefs, anime, drama, and comedy in a wondrous package. The series gets a feature-length follow-up with Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. The world is at peace after the […]
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Griffin Incident Review
Now that’s more like it. What an episode. Easily one of the best in the entire series up to this point. As those who watched AppleTV+’s hit Widow’s Bay this spring know, it’s not easy to craft an effective horror episode. You have to balance legitimate scares – having creepy ghouls walking in the background […]
In Defence of The Amazing Spider-Man
Spider-Man is Marvel’s most enduring character, who has appeared in countless forms of media. The cinematic universe got its first reboot in 2012 with The Amazing Spider-Man. Peter Parker’s (Andrew Garfield) disappeared when he was a child. When looking through his father’s suitcase, Peter finds a lead and goes to meet one of Richard Parker’s […]
House of the Dragon – Faceless Men Review
Thank god. Finally. Ser Cristen Cole is no more. And what a mundane end to such an odious man. For a character who began as a potential love interest for both Rhaenyra and Alicent – both of whom ultimately rejected him because, let’s face it, he’s not a catch – to meet his demise on […]
