Rick and Morty had been on a hot streak with “Rick: A Mort Well Lived,” “Bethic Twinstinct,” and “Night Family.” However, with “Final DeSmithation,” Rick and Morty has fallen into more juvenile territory. After having a meal at Panda Express, Jerry gets a fortune cookie saying he will have sex with his mum. Jerry treats the fortune seriously […]
Andor – The Axe Forgets Review
Well, my new favorite Andor character might just be Syril’s meddling mother Eedy (the great Kathryn Hunter), who in just a couple of scenes has added not only a layer of humor to the tense proceedings of the series, but also enough character shading to Syril to make him more than the two-dimensional baddie the […]
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Review
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is a comedy-drama that’s based on a novel by Paul Gallico. Ada Harris (Lesley Manville) is a cleaner in London. She lives alone in Battersea and harbours hopes of her husband returning home despite going missing during the Second World War. Mrs. Harris becomes obsessed with a Christian Dior dress owned […]
The House of the Dragon – Driftmark Review
It’s pretty amazing what difference a (mostly) new cast can make. Lest you think I’m criticizing the younger versions of the vast majority of The House of the Dragon’s ever-growing cast of characters, I’m not. But having older, more experienced actors take the reins when the story needs to start getting darker, more complicated, and […]
Moonage Daydream Review
David Bowie was one of the most celebrated musicians of the modern era. He was known for making many great songs, like “Space Oddity,” “Life on Mars” and “Lazarus.” The Bowie estate authorised a documentary with the celebrated filmmaker Brett Morgen directing. This documentary looks at Bowie’s work, inspiration, and philosophy throughout his career, from the early […]
Smile Review
Smile is based on a supernatural horror film based on a short film, Laura Hasn’t Slept. Smile hopes to join the likes of The Babadook, Oculus, and Lights Out as excellent horror films based on shorts. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) is a psychiatrist at an emergency mental health unit. One of her patients is Laura Weaver (Caitlin Stasey), a 26-year-old post-graduate student who claims to see an […]
The Rings of Power – Udûn Review
Well, color me surprised. I didn’t think we would be getting the Númenoreans battling with the Southlanders against Adar and the Orcs, well, ever. I was assuming that by the time Galadriel and Númenor reached the Southlands, the Men would have been overrun. But boy, was I thrilled to be wrong, as “Udûn” turned out […]
She-Hulk – The Retreat Review
And there it is. The MCU connection (outside of, you know, the obvious green cousin and giant green client) for She-Hulk. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t some fun, comedic moments within “The Retreat” – because there absolutely were – but with only two episodes remaining (and a promised Daredevil appearance still to […]
Rick and Morty – Night Family Review
“Rick: A Mort Well Lived” and “Bethic Twinstinct” have been great episodes of Rick and Morty and showed that there’s still life in the show. “Night Family” is even better and the best episode of Season Six, so far. Rick has brought a device that allowed him to programme his body to do tasks whilst he’s asleep. […]
Andor – Aldhani Review
This week’s episode of Andor moved the action away from Ferrix and to Aldhani – a planent with not much going for it except for an Imperial base that is perfectly set-up to be raided by some rebellion assets with the help of our boy Cassian – and Coruscant – where we get introduced to […]
