If you’re hoping for a film on par with Zodiac, Seven, or Gone Girl when heading out to see David Fincher’s latest The Killer, I hate to break it to you but you’re going to end up disappointed. Which, if the conversations I heard while leaving the screening of the film I attended are an […]
Upload Season Three Review
I came to Upload a bit slowly. I was lukewarm on its first season, enjoyed the second season, and now, with the series’ third season, I can officially call myself a fan of this quirky – and now pretty high-concept – Prime Video comedy series. When we last left our heroes, Nathan had been downloaded […]
Young Love Spoiler-Filled Review
Young Love is a mature animated comedy spun off from the short film, Hair Love, by Matthew A. Cherry, Everett Downing Jr., and Bruce W. Smith. Cherry, who created this series, began working in the entertainment industry in 2007. Downing created the Afrofuturist series My Dad the Bounty Hunter. Smith created The Proud Family and […]
The Exorcist Blu-ray Review
The Exorcist is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. Seeing that the film celebrates its 50th anniversary and a sequel has been made by Blumhouse now seems like a good time to revisit this important film. Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) is a famous actress who’s filming a movie in Washington DC. Chris […]
The Fall of the House of Usher Review
The Mike Flanagan suite of Netflix miniseries have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House (although not as much as many did). I was a huge fan of The Haunting of Bly Manor (save for the atrocious penultimate episode). I didn’t love Midnight Mass. And I […]
Loki – Breaking Bad Review
Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]
The Great Escaper Review
The Great Escaper is a drama based on the true story of Bernard Jordan, a war veteran who made his own way to the 70th Anniversary D-Day ceremony in France. Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) is a 90-year-old man who lives in a nursing home with his wife, Rene (Glenda Jackson). Bernard missed out on going to […]
Lessons in Chemistry Review
For the initial six episodes of Lessons in Chemistry’s eight-episode run, I found myself disappointed by the series. The performances – namely star Brie Larson’s turn as Elizabeth Zott, the writing (the series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name), and the structure of the series as a whole all felt off. […]
Saw X Review
During the noughties, the Saw franchise was a juggernaut. These films were crafted with low budgets but were highly profitable. Saw X aims to return to the franchise’s glory days by bringing back Tobin Bell and editor-turned-director Kevin Greutert. In this installment, John Kramer (Bell) is dying of brain cancer and only has months to live. He […]
