A Street Cat Named Bob was a big hit in the UK. It was a touching story about how a man saved a stray cat and that cat helped him overcome his drug addiction. The pair return for a Christmas themed sequel. Following the events of the first film James Bowen (Luke Treadaway) still busks […]
The mythology and history of Cleopatra, pharaoh of Egypt, has often been a topic in popular culture, from Hollywood films, webcomics like Everywhere and Nowhere, and mature animated series such as Clone High. This year, a new show, titled Cleopatra in Space, tapped into those myths and stories and began streaming on NBCUniversal’s new streaming […]
Wonder Woman 1984 is the last major blockbuster to be released in 2020. Considering how horrible a year 2020 has been the second Wonder Woman cinematic adventure is a nice well to close the year for film fans. In 1984 Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) works as an anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institute and does superheroics […]
Well, that was a hell of a finale.

The forces for and against freedom continue to make movements for the upcoming war with the Angels making their first appearance since the last war.

When I reviewed the fourth season of The Expanse last year, my main takeaway (after watching the first six episodes that had been provided for critics) was that it was shaping up to be a good, but not great season of the series. And upon finishing it, that was what it ultimately turned out to […]
