Marvel’s misfits are given a chance to shine in a post-Avengers MCU World. The director of the CIA, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), is being investigated by Congress for her black ops. She plans to get rid of the evidence, including four of her operatives, so she tricks those individuals into a hidden facility […]
After a nine-year break, the 2016 thriller The Accountant gains a sequel with many of the talent in front of and behind the camera returning. Raymond King (J.K. Simmons) is killed while investigating a missing persons case. Raymond protégé at FinCEN, Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), investigates his death, and she calls in some outside assistance, […]
The decline of the movie star has been well-documented. For the uninitiated, the idea is that audiences historically showed up to a movie on the strength of its lead actors, but that’s not generally true anymore. Currently, the ones who can draw a crowd are mostly over forty, indicating that Hollywood hasn’t been minting new […]
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
I had been wondering what had become of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson, a force in her return to this universe), so I was delighted to see her back on our screen. And even though she didn’t get a chance to reunite with The Doctor once more – this was one of the Doctor-lite episodes that […]
Well, well, well. I’m very intrigued with what Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky, and Lucia Aniello have planned for the final set of episodes this season, because this is the first time we’ve really seen Deborah be the one who is hurt by Ava’s indifference towards her. Now, was Stacey (the always wonderful Michaela Watkins*) […]
Well, that was quite the episode! Not only did we get a nice call back to the Tennant era of Who (now a pretty common occurrence thanks to Russell T Davies’ return to the helm of the series), but we also got a horror-infused mystery with genuine jump scares (which is a heck of a […]
Out of our initial two batches of episodes in this final season of Andor, this triptych was the weaker of the two, spending most of its three hours laying the groundwork for what is likely going to befall Ghorman – and reverberate out and impact all of our characters – in the coming episodes. However, […]
If you ask most people what makes a David Cronenberg movie, they’ll inevitably use the phrase “body horror”. It’s not unreasonable: his breakthrough came when he codified the genre in the 80s with Scanners and Videodrome, softening the ground for The Fly to become his biggest box office success in 1986. The connection between his name […]
I recently came across a piece in the St. Louis American about Iyanu: Child of Wonder, which is based on a Nigerian graphic novel by Roye Okupe and Godwin Akpan, which incorporates Yoruba mythology and stories and was produced by a Black-owned animation studio (Lion Forge Animation). While this series, said to be influenced by […]
