After watching six of the eight episodes of The Peripheral – a new sci-fi puzzlebox drama from Prime Video – I honestly don’t know what to make of the show. An adaptation of William Gibson’s book of the same name (part of a series of books, which one presumes Prime is hoping to adapt further […]
After the highs of “The Eye,” it would have been easy for Andor to take a beat, allow its characters to collect themselves, and take a week off before delving into the next great set piece of the series. So, it says a lot about the series that “Announcement” felt almost as tense as the […]
Based on a children’s book by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a CGI/live-action hybrid and a family-friendly musical. Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem) is a performer and dreamer who adopts a remarkable baby crocodile that can sing. However, when it comes to the time to perform Lyle the Crocodile (Shawn Mendes) gets stage fright and […]
The 1933 Business Plot serves as the inspiration for David O. Russell’s 10th film. Russell aimed to repeat the success of American Hustle by making a film based on a historical event and filled with an ensemble cast. Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale) is a doctor and veteran of the Great War and treats other veterans out of a […]
Leading up to that final moment – you know the one, Rhaenys sitting atop her dragon, staring down Alicent and her entire family – I had already planned my entire review for “The Green Council,” the penultimate episode of season one of House of the Dragon. I was going to dissect Alicent’s state of mind […]

Emily Jane Brontë (Emma Mackey) is one of four siblings who lived in rural Yorkshire. She’s a shy young woman who […]
Well, that was a finale that delivered on all the promises the series set forth in its premiere. We were shown the identity of Sauron (which I was wrong about last week, although I’ll give myself partial credit for outlining all the ways Halbrand could be Sauron in a previous review), we learned that The […]
Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]
The previous episode of Rick and Morty, “Final DeSmithation” was a disappointment with the plot centred around incest. “Juricksic Mort” sees the show return to a more traditional story. A group of advanced dinosaurs land on Earth and seeing how much humanity has buggered up the planet decide to act as benevolent overlords. Due to Earth turning into […]
