Crawl was a simple B-Movie creature feature that was elevated by the quality of its cast. Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario) is a collegiate level swimmer at a university in Florida. When a hurricane hits the state, Haley goes and checks on dad (Barry Pepper). Both father and daughter face the double threat of rising floodwaters and […]
WandaVision – Breaking the Fourth Wall Review
“Breaking the Fourth Wall” was a game-changer episode of WandaVision across a number of fronts. On the story side of the equation, we received confirmation as to just who nosy neighbor Agnes really is (confirming the suspicions of just about everyone – including me). On the theme-side of things, well, after spending 6.5 episodes in […]
Royalty Free: The Music of Kevin MacLeod Review
Kevin MacLeod is a name most people won’t know, but his work has been wide-reaching. The documentary Royalty Free: The Music of Kevin MacLeod looks at the man and his impact on the music industry. MacLeod is a composer who has an extraordinary business model: he releases his music for free in exchange for credit, or a […]
Walker – Don’t Fence Me In Review
For a show that already seemed refreshingly content on making Walker’s partner Micki Ramirez into a genuine co-star, the series’ fourth episode, “Don’t Fence Me In”, truly helped Micki shine and rightfully take her place as an equal. After being called by a local sheriff to a Texas oil well, Walker and Micki chase down […]
Clarice Review (Warning–Spoilers)
While dark and gruesome usually aren’t in the lexicon of older-skewing dramas on CBS, recent additions like Evil (CBS) and Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone (CBS All Access) have opened up some previously uncharted waters. Clarice, the Silent of the Lambs reboot, seems to fit the trend. But instead of a psychological thriller, Clarice seems […]
Framing Britney Spears Review (Warning–Spoilers)
Britney Spears’ 2001 ballad “I’m not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” opens with a verse that includes “But now I know that life doesn’t always go my way.” Sadly, that seems to be an understatement and foreshadowing what was to come for her. Many fans see Britney Spears now like the singer in that […]
Judas and the Black Messiah Review
To say the story of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther movement of the 1960s has not been well represented in mainstream media is an understatement. We’ve allowed for this aspect of our history to be watered down and excluded from the narrative for the sake of easy consumption. As a result, there are very […]
WandaVision – All-New Halloween Spooktacular! Review
Well, it certainly appears that things are quickly spiraling out of control – both for our titular couple and for the SWORD team led by the morally ambiguous Tyler Hayward, which means we’re heading into the final stretch of WandaVision. With Vision unable to truly break free of the hold Wanda has on Westview and […]
Malcolm & Marie Review
Malcolm & Marie centers on the eponymous couple, played admirably by John David Washington and Zendaya respectively, who return home after the premiere of Malcolm’s latest directorial effort, to yell at and manipulate each other for 106 straight minutes. This is a deeply troubled, toxic relationship where neither party says what they really mean, preferring […]
Walker Review
It’s brooding and heavy. It’s about loss and redemption. It’s about putting together a family. It’s about changing perceptions of policing. It’s about immigration and acceptance. Wait—did I submit the wrong review? Am I really describing Walker? The CW’s Walker (Thursdays at 8 pm EST) is about as similar to the original CBS series, Walker […]
