Air is based on a remarkable story that changed sports business and sees Ben Affleck return to the director’s chair after a six-year hiatus. In 1984 Nike are a distant third in the basketball market. Things are so bad that Nike’s basketball division’s budget pails compared to their rivals and the board consider closing the division. […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 22: Guns for Hire Review
Well, that was an utterly anticlimactic episode of television. In truth, it felt much more like an episode of Law and Order than an episode of The Mandalorian (complete with the guilty party being the most famous actor who appears at a seemingly inconsequential moment in the action). Sure, we got some big named – […]
Tiny Beautiful Things Review
I had incredibly high hopes for Tiny Beautiful Things. Kathryn Hahn, who is having a hell of a moment, leading a dramedy about a woman falling apart while trying to provide advice to others? That sounds like the recipe for a truly great series. Throw in Merritt Weaver – who always makes everything better, which […]
Schmigadoon! Season Two Review
In my review of season one of Schmigadoon!, I worried that the series might not appeal to those who weren’t, like me, big time musical theatre fans. After all, if you can’t tell your Lerner and Loewe from your Rogers and Hammerstein, would you really care about a television series parodying their biggest hits and […]
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies Review
Have you ever wondered just how the Pink Ladies of the musical Grease got their start? Well, wonder no more, as Paramount+ is continuing to dig deep into their existing IP well of content (after successfully rebooting its once dormant Star Trek franchise over the last several years – well, somewhat successfully) to craft new […]
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review
Dungeons & Dragons is one of the most recognisable fantasy franchises. Paramount and Hasbro bring the series to the big screen with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Edgin Darvis (Chris Pine) is the leader of a crew of thieves that includes Holga Kilgore (Michelle Rodriguez) the barbarian, Simon Aumar (Justice Smith) the sorcerer, Forge Fitzwilliam (Hugh […]
Star Trek: Picard – Dominion Review
Oh god. Poor Tuvok. For some reason, until that reveal – and the rather graphic description of just what torture Tuvok was being forced to endure – the true danger of the Changeling infiltration hadn’t really hit me. Sure, they might (read: almost certainly will) try to blow up the Fleet at Frontier Day (along […]
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady (Spoiler-Filled) Review
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, known as Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei or MagiRevo for short, is a yuri isekai directed by Shingo Tamaki. It is based on a Japanese light novel series by Piero Karasu and illustrated by Yuri Kisaragi, which was later adapted into […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 21: The Pirate Review
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to season three (with some pretty great highs, but a lot of running in place in terms of a central season arc), The Mandalorian has placed its chips on the table to let us know just what we’re looking at for the remainder of the season arc. […]
John Wick: Chapter 4 Review
John Wick has come a long way. From his humble origins of getting revenge for his murdered dog, his fourth cinematic adventure sees the reluctant assassin take on the whole secret society. Since the events of John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) has been hiding and training. The High Table has placed […]
