I’ll be honest. I’ve watched this episode twice and I’m still not quite sure what I think about it. On one hand, there was some swift (perhaps too swift) plot movement in all sections of the narrative. On the other, there were some truly earned and gorgeous moments between characters – okay, between Burt and […]
Yellowjackets – Thanksgiving (Canada) Review
Well, I, for one, think that episode should have been titled “What the fuck?!?”, because, much like the mystery bespeckled man at the end of the episode, I screamed that at the screen upon seeing that there were real live people coming upon the camp. Who are they? Where did they come from? Why are […]
Marching Powder Review
Nick Love and Danny Dyer were a team back in the Noughties, making four films together in that decade. Marching Powder marked the first time they have worked together since 2007’s Outlaw. Jack Jones (Dyer) is a middle-aged fuck-up. He is unemployed, a cocaine addict, a football hooligan, and his marriage with Dani (Stephanie Leonidas) […]
The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie Review
An attempt to save their house leads Porky Pig and Daffy Duck to uncover an alien mind-control invasion plan. But when they try to tell people, they are dismissed as crazy. Which means this oddball duo – along with Petunia Pig – now hold the fate of the world in their hands. For many of […]
Mickey 17 Review
Mickey 17 is Bong Joon-ho’s long-awaited follow-up to his Academy Award-winning film Parasite and his first English-language film since Okja. Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) signs up for a colonisation expedition to the planet Nifheim to avoid a violent loan shark. The only job he can get is being an expendable, someone who does dangerous jobs and when he […]
Dope Thief Review
As someone who never read Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 novel “Dope Thief,” which is something I find myself saying a whole heck of a lot when it comes to AppleTV+ series of late, I wasn’t all that sure what to expect when I dove into the eight-episode miniseries. And, you know what? Despite some strange tonal […]
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Review
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is the eighteenth feature-length film in the Dragon Ball series. The extended cut was recently re-released in cinemas. Goku (Sean Schemmel) has defeated many powerful enemies and opponents. However, his victories gain the attention of Beerus, the God of Destruction (Jason Douglas) and he seeks a prophesised Super Saiyan […]
Sunray: Fallen Soldier Review
Andy, a veteran Royal Marine seeks revenge on those responsible for the death of his daughter. Something that angers a local crime syndicate connected to the tragedy. And when they try to stop him, he calls upon members of his old team for help. On the face of it Sunray: Fallen Soldier is a pretty […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: The Pitt
I’m a bit late to the game on The Pitt, the new HBOMax medical drama that combines the storytelling structure of 24 with the complex, fast-paced world of the emergency department – the first of many connections the series has to the long-running NBC medical drama ER. We join the medical professionals of the Pitt […]
Severance – Sweet Vitriol Review
Let’s be honest: No matter what Severance cooked up this week, it was never going to stand up to the exceptional episode it offered us last week. But you know what? This deep-dive into the past of Harmony Cobel – who has been absent since episode three – was enough of a change of pace […]
