It appears that my worries following last week’s episode of Hawkeye (that the show wouldn’t be able to adequately wrap up its every increasing list of storylines by series’ end) were unfounded, as this penultimate episode managed to pare down the list of remaining arcs to a precious few heading into next week’s finale. And […]
When I started the season three finale of Succession, I was disappointed. After the series dropped two of the show’s biggest series bombshells in its penultimate episode – Kendall’s apparent drowning and Roman’s ill-sent dick pic – it appeared to dismiss them out of hand with two throwaway lines of dialogue. Kendall was physically fine, […]
It’s that time of year again for festive films old and new. One of the big cinematic Christmas films of the year is Boxing Day, the first British Christmas film with a predominately black cast. Melvin McKenzie (Aml Ameen) is an author who fled to America after his parents announced their divorce on Boxing Day two years […]
Encanto is the latest animated musical from the House of Mouse. This film takes the Disney musical to Colombia. The Madrigal family are the de facto leaders of a small town in Colombia and they use their powers to help the townspeople. All the Madrigals are bestowed with superpowers at a young age, except Mirabel (Stephanie […]
The 1961 film version of West Side Story has been viewed for decades as an untouchable classic. Meticulously presenting the music and choreography made famous by the groundbreaking Broadway show, the Best Picture winner effectively captures a specific moment of cultural change happening in New York City’s West Side at the end of the Eisenhower […]
Doctor Who: Flux has reached its climax with an incredibly busy finale and the best finale Chris Chibnall has produced. The proverbial has hit the fan. The Grand Serpent has orchestrated an invasion of Earth with the Sontarans and the Doctor is being held captive by Swarm. Making the situation worse is Swarm having control of […]
So, Yelena showed up earlier than I had both predicted and hoped, which in an already over-stuffed episode, may signal that the Hawkeye arc is getting a bit too crowded as the series approaches its final two episodes. But outside of that reveal – and the confusing fight sequence that came about from it – […]
The Expanse has had a winding road to reach its sixth and final season. Premiering on SyFy, getting prematurely canceled, getting saved by Amazon (because it just happened to be Jeff Bezos’s favorite television show, and what’s the point of being a billionaire if you can’t ensure that your favorite TV shows live on), and […]
House of Gucci is the second film by Ridley Scott this year. His second 2021 film was sadly a weaker offering from Mr. Scott. House of Gucci chronicles the rise and fall of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) and Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) within the famous fashion house. The pair go from outsiders of the Gucci family because […]
When I was first made aware of Benedetta, Paul Verhoeven’s latest film, earlier this year, it was pitched to me as a psychosexual story about two nuns in the 17th century. And while sure, that’s definitely an element of the story – there is absolutely a lesbian love story (and yes, it is a love […]
