Your home for entertainment
I had been hoping that Strange New Worlds would rebound after last week’s disappointing outing. Unfortunately, this over-stuffed and under-baked attempt at showing us Kirk’s* growth – while still spending far too much time with the crew of the Enterprise and trying to turn the final beats of the story into a pretty out-of-left field […]
Weapons is the second solo directional effort from Zach Cregger, following the success of Barbarian. This time, he delivers a horror mystery set in small-town America. One night at 2:17 am, 17 children from the same class ran out of their homes and went missing. Their teacher, Justine Gandy (Julia Garner), falls under suspicion by […]
True crime has been around for hundreds of years, arising not long after the invention of the printing press. Whether it serves as a warning to the populace that a pleasant neighborhood is no guarantee of safety, or as pure entertainment designed to satiate our innate curiosity about the unfathomable darkness that lies inside others, […]
Every time I begin watching a new series, I want it to be great. I want it to be so exceptional that I finish each episode and cannot wait to see just what is going to happen next. I went into watching the screeners for The Rainmaker, the new USA/Peacock series loosely based on John […]

When investigating a car collision, Drebin discovers the driver worked for the tech billionaire Richard Cane (Danny Huston), and a potential link […]
Together is a body horror film that sees the real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie struggle when moving to the big city. Tim (Dave Franco) and Millie (Alison Brie) are a 30-something couple who move from the big city to the town of Fulton after Millie takes up a teaching position. They end up […]
Well that was a fun palette cleanser after a couple of rounds of heavier stuff. Although I suspect the burgeoning relationship between Spock and La’an will have some segments of the fanbase (namely, those who are full-on Spock-Chapel and/or La’an-Kirk shippers) up in arms. Personally, while I would rather have our main characters not dealing […]
