“The Lost Boy” was the episode of His Dark Materials I was most looking forward to because I knew it would cover one of my favourite moments in the novels. Following on from their rampage at Trollesund the Gyptians travel northwards to Bolvangar. When Lyra reads the alethiometer she finds out that the Gyptians will be outmanned and outgunned. […]
Knives Out is the first film Rain Johnson has made since the release of his divisive Star Wars film. His mystery film shows why he gained a reputation as one of the finest writer/directors currently working. Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) was a successful mystery writer and the patriarch of the Thrombey family who’s found dead on his 85th birthday. Benoit […]
I have to admit, so much happened in “An Almost Religious Awe” that I don’t really know where to jump into this review. I suppose the best jumping-off point would be with the continuing deepening of what we know about our protagonist, Angela Abar – especially since she seems to be the link to the […]
Ok, I think it’s safe to say that the blueprint for The Mandalorian is to create interesting episodic adventures (wherein we spend time with characters far more interesting that Mando) as we slowly move toward some sort of conclusion regarding the galactic search for Baby Yoda. While I tend to prefer my television with an […]
After three episodes of build-up, His Dark Materials finally moves the story onto the North and introduces two popular characters from the novels. The Gyptians have arrived in the port town of Trollesund and immediately set out to find allies to aid them on their quest. Farder Corman (James Cosmo) and Lyra (Dafne Keen) go to The Witch’s Counsel […]
Guys. Guys! There are polar bears with armor! And they are so cute! (Ok, they do also exude the regal elements the show clearly wants them to, but they are also talking polar bears wearing bear-sized armor, which means they are also adorable.) But, most importantly, this was an good hour of television from start […]
Now that I’m convinced it’s keeping its quality (and since it has already been renewed for a second season next year), the CBS series Evil has earned an episode-by-episode review, so I’ll be writing episodic summary-reviews beginning this week… Can the previously-found map of evil (The Poveglia Codex) with more than 60 sigils help lead […]
The past is something we tend to cling to like a security blanket. When we discuss something awful, we hold it up as a clear mark, a blemish, a black spot on the soul of humanity – something that we won’t do ever again. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it […]
Ford’s triumph at Le Mans in the 1960s is considered one of the greatest achievements in motorsports. This story is given the cinematic treatment thanks to Logan director James Mangold. Ford Motors have fallen into a slump. One of their executives, Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) comes up with a radical plan to give Ford a more glamorous […]
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Baby Yoda (which I know is not the Child’s name, but since the internet has decided to use that name I’m going to go with it until we get something else) is ridiculously cute. Hell, I’d watch an entire series that was just it […]
