It’s a universal truth that anyone who has been an adolescent girl (or has had an adolescent daughter) knows: Adolescent girls are absolutely ruthless. Think “Lord of the Flies” was a terrifying look at what adolescent boys can do? A version of that story with young girls would have been twice as cut-throat. Trust me. […]
A note before I begin the review: I’ve never played the game Fallout or any other game in its universe. So, I cannot comment on how the series is like the game or how it brings in any characters or creatures from the game. This review will look at the series solely as a standalone […]
There’s something about Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley” that makes it catnip to writers and directors looking for an engaging story with almost fantastical acts of murder, intrigue, and emotional manipulation to adapt to the screen. In fact, two versions have made it to film – Plein soleil in 1960 and the […]
I know that subtitles are divisive. Sure, a lot of people automatically subtitle everything they watch on TV now, but when it’s a foreign language series or film that requires English speakers to rely on those same subtitles to understand the dialogue, for some reason, people can get a bit put off by it. And […]
There’s a major twist in Sugar, the new noir drama from AppleTV+. Now, I wouldn’t normally lead with this in a review, but if you don’t realize there’s a major twist coming (which would be a shock, considering the series does everything in its power to hint that there’s something more happening than just a […]
So, it turned it we got the (extremely truncated) Madelyne Pryor story arc this week – complete with little Nathan Summers getting sent to the future to save his life (which won’t screw him up in any way, no siree!) and Mister Sinister returning to try and manipulate Madelyne and Nathan to do his bidding. […]
If you’re a huge fan of “The Three-Body Problem” and looking for an extremely faithful adaptation of Cixin Liu’s novel, I highly recommend you check out the Chinese-made miniseries currently available on Peacock. If you’re like me and couldn’t make it through the first book of Liu’s trilogy – or if you’ve never read the […]
When I was a child, Saturday morning wasn’t complete without watching that week’s episode of X-Men. As someone who didn’t really follow comics growing up (my dad was a big DC fan, but I never got much into that lore – and back then, Marvel wasn’t anything like it is today). But I loved the […]
When you look at the cast list for AppleTV+’s new comedy series Palm Royale, you can’t help but be impressed. Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Burce Dern. And that’s only the tip of the cast iceberg. You have two Oscar winners, a multiple-Oscar nominee, multiple Emmy winners (in fact, two […]
Your enjoyment of Manhunt, the new historical miniseries from AppleTV+, will likely hinge on how much you remember from your American History classes. If you can’t quite recall just who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln (that would be John Wilkes Booth, played here – with a flat American accent – by Anthony Boyle), who his Vice […]
