28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the fourth entry in the 28 Days Later series and a direct sequel to 28 Years Later.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – A Hedge Knight Review
The latest Game of Thrones spin-off has made its way to HBO. And it’s something quite different than fans of the bloody, violent, and overstuffed series might expect. It’s rare that I ended an episode of Thrones or House of the Dragon thinking, “Oh, what a lovely episode!” But watching the pilot of A Knight […]
Rental Family Review
Rental Family is Hikari’s follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, 37 Seconds, and it shows the Japanese filmmaker can make something that can appeal to both Japanese and Western audiences. Philip Vanderploeg (Brendan Fraser) is an American actor who has lived in Japan for ten years. Philip gets offered an unusual job when he meets […]
Heated Rivalry Review
Note: This review contains spoilers for season one of Heated Rivalry. I have to state up front that I am decidedly not the target audience for Heated Rivalry. While I love to support LGBTQ+ representation on television (as a member of the lesbian section of that acronym), a gay hockey romance is not something I […]

Hijack Season Two Review
The first season of Hijack, the AppleTV thriller starring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator stuck on a hijacked plane – where his family on the ground is also placed in danger to help ensure his compliance with the hijackers – wasn’t anything particularly special. Certainly not special enough to warrant a second season – […]
Corriedale Review
Corriedale is already considered one of the biggest soap events of 2026, which is remarkable considering the year has only just started. The crossover sees ITV’s big soaps come together for the first time. A massive car accident happens on a stretch of road in the Yorkshire Dales. This event happens due to loads of […]
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Review
Despite what you might have heard or deduced from that truly unfortunate poster Paramount released late last year, I’m here to tell you that Starfleet Academy is not a bad show. It’s also not a good show. It’s actually a very frustrating show with some serious tonal issues, particularly in early episodes. But when it’s […]
