Agatha All Along – Episode 5 Review
For the first time in its run, this episode felt almost incomplete. Sure, we had a couple of interesting (and sad) revelations within it, but this particular task didn’t have the same heft as the previous two* and even though we lost another member of the coven (and Rio got another body for her troubles […]
Transformers One Review
It has been 39 years since the Transformers series made its cinematic debut with The Transformers: The Movie. Transformers One sees everyone’s favourite Autobots and Decepticons have their first cinematic animated adventure since the 1980s.

Joker: Folie à Deux Review
In 2019 Joker blasted onto screens, being the first R-rated film to cross the billion-dollar barrier, earning 11 Oscar nominations and winning two of them. The sequel has now been released and has a lot of expectation placed upon it. It has been two years since Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) took on his Joker persona […]
Rings of Power – Shadow and Flame Review
So, let’s get the big reveal – the one everyone assumed was coming, and that was more or less confirmed earlier this season – out of the way up top. The Stranger is Gandalf (or a Grand Elf . . . but really Gandalf). And yes, per Tolkien, Gandalf shouldn’t be in Rhûn at all […]

Agatha All Along – Episode Four Review
Well, I think we can put together just what went down between Rio (or is it Blackheart?*) and Agatha all those years ago – leading to their estrangement and everything that has happened to Agatha since. And even without that major revelation, this was a stellar installment of Agatha All Along, providing a number of […]

Megalopolis Review
Megalopolis was a film that was 40 years in the making, a passion project that saw Francis Ford Coppola return to filmmaking for the first time in 13 years. New Rome is a city on the edge. Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito) is unpopular and in conflict with Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), an architect and […]
