Nicolas Cage might be the internet’s favorite actor. With his wild film performances and equally unhinged personal life, the man is a walking meme. Acknowledging and paying tribute to this status, Cage now stars as himself in the new meta-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which just might be the most Nic Cage movie […]
After a disappointing opening episode to Season Three, Derry Girls returns to form with an episode about a Children in Need, ‘90s pop, and a mid-life crisis. Children in Need fever has struck the school and the students and faculty are looking for ways to fundraise. Father Peter (Art Campion) sets up a Stars in Their Eyes style singing competition and the winner […]
This week’s episode of Picard felt, much like Jurati’s mind, fractured in its effectiveness. Some elements worked very well – Jurati Queen’s continued plot to assimilate Earth, Soong’s downward spiral, the revelation that Q is dying and doesn’t seem to know how to go gentle into the dark night – while other pieces felt half-baked […]
This week’s Moon Knight was far and away the most successful of the season – and that’s even with the strange detour into fractured mind of Marc/Steven as he lingered on the brink of death, which brought to mind the very good first season of FX’s Legion*. Why did it work so well? It focused […]
Jodie Whittaker’s time as the Doctor is coming to an end. Her penultimate episode is the Easter special “Legend of the Sea Devils” which aimed to be a swashbuckling adventure. The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan take a trip to ancient China to look for Ji-Hun’s lost treasure. However, the TARDIS takes the trio to 1807 […]

The Worst Person in the World has been released by Mubi in the UK and Ireland. Julie (Renate Reinsve) is a smart yet indecisive woman who seemingly […]
The Wizarding World franchise should be one of the jewels in Warner Brothers’ crown. However, the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series has been suffering from diminishing returns, both critically and financially. The Secrets of Dumbledore has suffered from The Crimes of Grindelwald’s negative reception because its opening box-office has been disappointing. The Wizarding World franchise, particularly the Harry Potter series still has fans. It’s a franchise […]
We are currently living in dark times. There is war, a cost-of-living crisis, and a pandemic. We need some light relief and romantic adventure The Lost City attempts to offer that. Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) is a romance novelist who lives alone after her husband’s death. Loretta’s publicist, Beth (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) demands the author goes […]
For the first time this season, an episode of Picard felt more like it was spinning its wheels than providing us with something new and worth watching. I certainly don’t begrudge a series the right to take a breath and take stock of just where all the pieces lay on the board as it dives […]
The Derry Girls are back for one final season. The new season sees the girls (and the Wee English Fella) deal with exam result stress in an extreme manner. It’s the night before the gang gets their GCSE results. Claire is panicking because she fears the rest of the gang has failed, so she would […]
