I was less than enthused with season one of Picard, despite being a huge fan of the titular character (as well as of Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine). It was a season of television that started off asking an interesting question – what regrets befall even the greatest among us when we are left alone […]
With a cast that boast names like Jeremy Renner, Diane Wiest, and Kyle Chandler, and Taylor Sheridan – the co-creator of Yellowstone – as a co-creator and showrunner (the other half of the creative team is Hugh Dillion, who also co-stars on the series), one can’t help but hope a series like Mayor of Kingstown will live up […]
The Paranormal Activity franchise was a pop-culture phenomenon for the first half of the 2010s. The release of a new Paranormal Activity was essentially an annual tradition, as the series churned out sequels nearly every October. It reinvigorated the found-footage genre, and in doing so, made a killing at the box office. Its star faded […]
The fear of taking an elevator ride is apparently one of the most common fears among Americans and yet there’s no official phobia attached to it. While some call it a “form of claustrophobia,” there are people who aren’t claustrophobic that still fear elevators. So I am going to call it Elevatorphobia. When I heard […]
There’s nothing like a charming, quirky, and lovable television show. When you need a pick-me-up or a half hour spent with genuinely lovely characters, nothing beats a feel-good series. And last year, the show that really fit that bill was the exquisite Ted Lasso (which returns for its second season on AppleTV+ on July 23 […]
Where’s Roma Downey when we need her? In the second episode of season two, “A is for Angel,” our team’s primary task involves studying and assessing a recently converted parishioner who believes he is channeling the Archangel Michael. Bishop Marx (Peter Scolari) asks them to determine if he is possessed by angelic forces, demonic forces, […]
Sonic the Hedgehog is a pop culture icon who has delighted generations of gamers. He made his move to live-action films with the 2020 release of his debut film. Sonic the Hedgehog (Ben Schwartz) has lived on Earth for 10 years after his guardian was attacked by a tribe of echidnas. On Earth he lives in […]
After 22 years on television, Spongebob Squarepants is just as popular as he’s ever been. That’s mostly due to the character’s classic brand of optimistic silliness, which is also what keeps his new movie from falling apart. The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run is the latest installment of Nickelodeon’s beloved franchise, streaming now on […]
Huh. That’s my general reaction to the two-part third season premiere of Star Trek: Discovery. While some of the show’s problems have been alleviated by the 900+ year time jump to the future, the series still relies too much on style over substance when it matters the most. First the good: Discovery continues to have […]
The 2019 version of Pet Sematary is the second adaptation of Stephen King’s 1983 novel of the same. It release comes after the success of 2017’s It. The Creed family move from Boston to rural Maine so they could have a quieter life and allow the family patriarch Louis (Jason Clarke) to spend more time with the children. […]
