When starting a new series, there’s, understandably, a good deal of world and character building to complete before the story can really get underway. After all, if we don’t care at least a bit about our central characters and understand who they are and what they want, how can we appreciate the dangers, drama, and […]
The third Fantastic Beast movie has a lot riding on it. The previous film was a disappointment to critics, one of the characters was recast because of personal controversy, and the franchise’s creator has become a diverse figure. So, the question is can it recapture the magic? A year after the events of The Crimes of Grindelwald the […]
Winston Churchill famously said “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” This bodyguard of lies was used in the elaborate espionage mission Operation Mincemeat where British Intelligence attempted to get the Germans to divert resources from the defence of Sicily. The year is 1943. The Allies prepare […]
Once again, Picard churned out an episode that was firing on all cylinders this week. From continuing to move the narrative forward with smart character choices and interesting confrontations to finally allowing Patrick Stewart a chance to shine while chatting with his distant ancestor, I honestly couldn’t find a fault with the episode (ok, I […]
We’re a third of the way through Moon Knight and I’m starting to think the shine is already wearing off the apple with this one. Taking into account that this is essentially an origin story mixed with an world-saving adventure (which I think might be a bit more than can be covered within a six […]

Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) has found a way to escape the Mushroom Planet and […]
The quest for perfection is an elusive one and it serves as the subject of the indie drama The Novice. Alex Dall (Isabelle Fuhrman) is a college freshman who joins the university rowing team as a novice. Her goal is to master the sport and join the varsity team. However, her goal becomes a single-minded […]
Morbius is the third entry in Sony’s Spider-man Universe. This time the studio brings the living vampire to the big screen with Jared Leto in the title role. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is a genius haematologist who has a rare blood condition that requires three blood transfusions a day to live. In an attempt to find […]
Everything Everywhere All At Once, the latest genre-defying masterpiece from filmmaking duo Daniels, is one of those movies that is next to impossible to write about. It’s so weird and so dense, with each new plot development somehow being stranger than the last. I don’t want to go into too much detail about its plotline, […]
So, I wasn’t anticipating writing a review of Star Trek: Picard centered upon mass praise for Brent Spiner’s work this season. Sure, I had heard he would be appearing in the season as yet another Soong in a long line of Soongs, but I didn’t think that the series would allow him to truly flex […]
