Lisa Kudrow is extraordinary. That’s what I kept telling myself as I watched season three of The Comeback. She’s just extraordinary. The journey she – and co-creator Michael Patrick King – have taken the washed-up (but always hustling) Valerie Cherish on over the course of twenty years is nothing short of extraordinary. And while season […]
I will admit that I was wrong about Jury Duty when its screeners appeared in my inbox several years ago. I had been a big fan of the first season of The Joe Schmo Show – a 2003 series on Spike TV wherein an unsuspecting “normie” was thrust into a fake reality TV competition series, […]
Project Hail Mary is a big-budget sci-fi film based on Andy Weir’s third novel, which sees the fate of Earth rest on Ryan Gosling’s shoulders. Dr. Ryland Grace (Gosling) awakes on a spacecraft with no memory about how he got there or what his mission is. Slowly, Grace’s memory comes back, and he remembers that […]
When I saw the cast list for Imperfect Women, the new thriller from AppleTV+ based on the novel of the same name, I was excited to see just what it was about. Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]

Now that we’ve reached the end of Starfleet Academy’s first season, I wanted to take a minute to talk about where the show ended up after a bit of a rocky beginning. In my initial review of the season, I had only seen the first six episodes – three of which I really didn’t care […]
The team that made the Fisherman’s Friends films has moved up from Cornwall to Somerset for their recent comedy-drama inspired by true events. The Drover Arms is a struggling pub in the village of Birchbury. The landlord, Mick Harley (Martin Clunes), is on the verge of losing his family business. Tensions within the family erupt […]
Elvis Presley is recognised as one of the most popular musicians in history. He was the subject of a successful biopic in 2022. When making the film, Baz Luhrmann discovered lost footage and used it for a concert film. I would normally write a plot synopsis when writing reviews. That’s impossible with EPiC since it was […]
Neve Campbell returns to the Scream series after sitting out the Ghostface massacre in New York City. Sidney Evans, nee Prescott (Campbell), lives a quiet life in the town of Pine Grove. She is married to Mark Evans (Joel McHale), the chief of police, has three children, and owns a successful coffee shop. Sidney’s relationship […]

It’s a film aiming to tap into the growing ‘Eat the Rich’ sentiment Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) is the illegitimate son of the Redfellow dynasty. […]
