The ever-popular Harley Quinn gets her chance to lead her first feature film with the Suicide Squad spin-off Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). The film ends up being an R-rated look at the seedy side of the DCEU. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) has broken up with the Joker and she announces this […]
A sentence I never thought I would write: I want to see a Seven of Nine spin-off series ASAP, CBS All Access. Holy hell, was that great hour of television. This is the kind of episode I was expecting when Star Trek: Discovery launched: dark, moralistically murky, but still fun. It’s what I hoped to […]
Early on in the first episode of Survivor 40: Winners at War, host Jeff Probst turned to one of the beloved returnees, Amber, and asked her what it was like to be back 20 years after she was first on the show. He reminded her, “Last time you were on this show the iPhone didn’t […]
I’m going to be perfectly honest: I have no idea if Hunters is a good show. I have watched the five episodes Amazon provided to critics, and I don’t know if this is a series worth watching. It’s a strange place to be in as a critic. What I can say is that there was […]
Ok. That was more like it. While Picard certainly still has some growing pains to work through (more on that later), “Absolute Candor” was the most complete episode of the series to date, managing to integrate the Narek/Soji/Rizzo piece of the story into the much more robust Picard elements to satisfying effect. I actually found […]
The sophomore slump is a pretty well-documented phenomenon in television. A series starts off strong, building buzz and growing its fan base throughout its first season while also ratcheting up expectations as to the heights the show can achieve when it returns for its second go-round. To say Sex Education, the British high school dramedy […]
Mr. Rogers was a staple of children’s entertainment in the United States. He was known for being wholesome and educational. But he did more than entertain children; he also helped adults with their problems as shown in the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) is a cynical journalist writing for Esquire […]
After last week’s episode of Star Trek: Picard, I said that the series would live and die on the ability of the cast to perform at the same high level as Patrick Stewart. “The End is the Beginning” once again drove this point home, as every actor who shared a scene with Stewart rose to […]
From the man who created The Thick of It and Veep, Armando Iannucci returns to the world of filmmaking with his comedic take of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield. David Copperfield (Dev Patel) is a man with yo-yoing fortunes. Born to a widow, David suffers at the hands of a crude stepfather (Darren Boyd) – forced to work in a […]
The fugitive film Queen & Slim is a politically charged story considering the current climate in America. In Cleveland, Ohio, a man and a woman (Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith) go on a date. On the way home, they are stopped by a racist cop which quickly escalates with the woman getting shot in the leg and […]
