I’ve been writing about television for a long time. And during that time, I’ve come to recognize a handful of truism that tend to separate the good from the mediocre when it comes to effective dramatic storytelling. Now, for folks who have studied criticism – or literature, drama, creative writing, any of the major arts, […]
The Copenhagen Test is the type of series that frustrates me more than anything. It’s got a cast of rising stars – Simu Liu (Barbie, Shang-Chi), Melissa Barrera (Scream V and VI), and Sinclair Daniel (The Other Black Girl) – with a stellar supporting cast – Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Kathleen Chalfant (The Affair), Saul […]
From the people who watched the first two seasons of Downton Abbey, Fackham Hall is a spoof of British period dramas. The film features an ensemble cast as it rips into a popular genre. The Davenport family have owned Fackham Hall for generations, but the family patriarch, Humphrey (Damian Lewis), has no living heir. His […]
Well, that was a hell of a mic drop last line – and something fun to tide us over until we get that second season (which has already been greenlit by Apple, so fear not, it is coming). But what a wild ride. We got to see just who Manuosus really is – and how […]
Yuri webcomics are common online. I noted this in the first part of this series which centered on Webtoons such as The Pirate and the Princess, My Roommate Is a Vampire, My Dragon Girlfriend, Eldritch Darling, Nevermore, Big Cats, Everyday by Day, My Secret Lesbian Comics, Apollonia, and The World’s Strongest Guild Receptionist. This post will focus on […]
The financial juggernaut that is the Avatar series film returns for a third film and continues the conflict between the Na’vi and RDA, and Jake Sully and Quaritch. The Scully family are reunited after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, but is suffering from grief after the death of their oldest son. The […]
Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all, with a worldwide gross of $2.9 billion. It was a cultural phenomenon back in 2009/2010. Yet it is a film that had many detractors and was dismissed as a “Dancing with Smurfs” and “Ferngully in Space.” Whilst I have been critical of Avatar: The Way of Water, the […]
Oh Carol. I don’t think that attempt at appeasement ended up the way you thought it would. Although, I’m also not completely convinced that there isn’t some aspect of the original Zosia still lingering under that hive mind, slowly seeping out through the cracks. And then there’s Manuosos, who’s inching ever closer to Albuquerque, expecting […]
Silent Night, Deadly Night is seen as a Christmas horror classic and spawned a series of five films and a reboot. Cineverse, the company behind Terrifier 3 and The Toxic Avenger reboot, have taken on the task of rebooting the series for a second time. Billy Chapman (Rohan Campbell) is a drifter who goes from […]
I’ve written about various webcomics this year including Literary Link and The Girlfriend Manual. I’ve also talked about webcomics by trans creators (Up and Out, Trans Girl Next Door, Assigned Male/Serious Trans Vibes, I want to be a cute anime girl, and Transincidental). This posting will cover webcomics exclusively on Webtoon. Some fall into the young […]
