The business of data recovery is a Wild West, at least within the UK. They are a patchwork of sole traders and independent businesses and access to a good company is geography dependant. I have a broken hard drive that has many years of photographs and music, which has led me down a path I […]
We all have had ‘one of them days.’ For some people, those days can be worse than for others. Two friends and roommates experience a particularly bad day in a Los Angeles-set buddy comedy. Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) have been friends and roommates for seven years. Dreux is about to have the job interview […]
In the pantheon of episode endings, this one was a doozie. From Teen Shauna finally stepping into the role of, well, leader, to threaten the other Yellowjackets into voting to convict Coach Ben to the revelation that Adult Lottie is dead, that’s a pretty visceral one-two punch to close out the episode. This was also […]
If anyone was harboring any illusions about just how utterly fucked up Lumon is, I’m hoping this episode was enough to disavow you of them. Because Jesus Christ, that was horrific to watch. Seeing Lumon torturing Gemma – and that’s what it is, torture – over the course of years? That’s horrific. It’s fun to […]
Over forty-four years ago, on September 3, 1980, the series finale of the now-classic Rose of Versailles, entitled “Adieu, My Beloved Oscar,” aired on Japanese television. It depicted revolutionary leader Louis Saint-Just telling an assembly of Frenchmen, in 1792, that “the King’s own existence is itself an unforgivable crime” and “The King is the crime!” […]

To be fair, their cores are the same: an action-thriller in the style of an airport novel about an unassuming person thrust into a dangerous situation whose skills and […]
The James Bond franchise has experienced a seismic change with the announcement that Barbara Broccoli has given up creative control to Amazon. The franchise has gone from being a personal legacy for the Broccolis to being a part of a corporate entity. The news has been received badly by Bond fans, including myself. There are […]

The Monkey is a darkly comic offering from the pantheon of Stephen King adaptations. This film is the follow-up of Osgood Perkins’ sleeper hit, Longlegs. In 1999 twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn (Christian Convery/Theo James) find a toy monkey amongst their father’s possessions. When the boys use The Monkey people they know die and […]
Well, that was a hell of an episode, right? This is the first installment that really feels like the story is taking a step forward – in both the past and present – with our characters starting to move beyond their set patterns of the past seasons and step into the future. And it’s always […]
