After last week’s tour de force installment, this week’s Andor pulls the story back a bit, allowing the characters and the series’ game board to reset for one final showdown on Ferrix. And, honestly, I think we all needed this small respite – a chance to catch our breath, take stock of where each character […]

In a global crisis called “The Emergency,” who are you going to call? No, not the Ghostbusters, but instead a group of misfit orphans who form a team that may just be intuitive enough to stop a worldwide panic. That’s the basic premise of the TV adaptation of “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” (Season 1) which […]
Disclaimer: Review based on the first two episodes I love Pixar and always have. In particular, I love Monsters Inc. In fact, it was the first movie I was obsessed with. The colorful characters and offbeat humor mixed with Pixar’s signature beautiful animation made for a truly unique movie-going experience for a budding young film […]

The long closure of cinemas and the backlog of unreleased films has led to studios looking for alternative methods of distribution.
