Your home for entertainment
After last week’s relatively disappointing premiere episode (in which nothing really happened until the close – and I’ve since been informed that the Blood and Cheese incident from the book is much more disturbing than the one presented in the series, which further adds to the disappointment), this week’s installment of House of the Dragon […]
The Exorcism is the second exorcism horror film to star Russell Crowe in recent times. This time the Australian actor is suffering from being processed instead of casting out demons. Anthony “Tony” Miller (Crowe) is an actor preparing for his comeback role after a highly publicised drug addiction problem. He gets offered a role in the […]
After the epic close of last week’s episode, I expected an equally epic conclusion to the story. Alas, what we got was a mixed bag from a storytelling perspective, with our heroes defeating the seemingly undefeatable villain with very little effort on the part of The Doctor. The Ruby reveal, while anti-climactic in the end, […]
Streaming was seen to be a game changer for the entertainment industry. It was meant to usher in a new era where most content would be available online and make cinemas and physical media obsolete. This bright future has not come to pass and now we are starting to see signs of the streaming crunch. […]
I have amassed a number of television pet peeves in my time working as a critic, but near the top of the list is episodes in a serialized show that exist solely to be a bridge to the major climax of a season. Now, I’m not talking about an episode that takes narrative strides to […]

Pixar returns to Riley’s mind for another coming-of-age odyssey that features a wide array of emotions in a sequel to Inside Out. Riley (Kensington Tallman) is now 13 and set to start high school. She gets invited by Coach Roberts (Yvette Nicole Brown), the coach of the high school hockey team to attend a three-day training camp. […]
For a story that only has so many big moments – and one that already exists fully-formed in book form with all those moments laid out clearly – I honestly didn’t expect that the second season premiere of House of the Dragon would give us one of them right out of the gate. But that’s […]
We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]
If you’ve followed any of the social media posting around The Acolyte, you’ve probably heard that this week’s episode, “Destiny,” was going to “break Star Wars.” Well, we’ve all seen it now, and I think we can agree* that while the episode injected some interesting new mythology into the world of Star Wars, it definitely […]
