I wasn’t a big fan of Stick, AppleTV’s Owen Wilson-led golf comedy, in its first season. While Wilson was solid, if not spectacular, playing a typical Owen Wilson character in Pryce “Stick” Cahill, the show’s paint by numbers writing and lack of any real emotional depth or stakes didn’t keep my interest. And I wasn’t planning […]
I’ll admit that I had a hard time really getting into Lucky, the new thriller from AppleTV+ that is based on the novel of the same name. There’s a lot of action – car chases, foot races, hiding behind large vehicles whilst someone stalks around with a gun. And there’s a decent enough story being […]
The Five Star Weekend isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name, the story is pretty simple, the execution is solid, and the characters are pretty archetypal. But what the show has going for it is the sensational cast of actors inhabiting this basic tale of friendship, grief, […]
The first two episodes of Alien: Earth did a great job setting up the premise of the show. Episodes three and four focus on philosophical musings as much as corporations studying alien lifeforms. The Lost Boys have been sent to a Weyland-Yutani ship that has crashed in the middle of New Siam. They are ordered […]
Alien is an enduring franchise and gets its first TV spin-off with Alien: Earth, with Noah Hawley, the showrunner of Fargo and Legion, taking on the challenge. In 2120, five corporations control Earth, and there is a race to gain immortality through technology. On an island controlled by the Prodigy Corporation, five terminally ill children […]
The 1933 Business Plot serves as the inspiration for David O. Russell’s 10th film. Russell aimed to repeat the success of American Hustle by making a film based on a historical event and filled with an ensemble cast. Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale) is a doctor and veteran of the Great War and treats other veterans out of a […]
If I didn’t know going in that “From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was the series’ penultimate installment, there’s no way you could convince me of that fact simply from watching the episode. Now, if you told me it was the second episode of The Mandalorian, […]
The fan reaction toward Rick and Morty’s Fifth Season has been mixed, especially after “Rickdependence Spray”. Fortunately, the Thanksgiving-themed episode was an improvement from everyone’s favourite grandfather and grandson duo. Rick and Morty attempt to steal the US Constitution so they can use the secret treasure map printed on it. However, Morty accidentally destroys the […]
Well, that was quite the bait and switch with a classic Star Wars character – only to throw in a literal last second twist. But I’ll get to that later on in the review. Welcome back to our weekly reviews of The Mandalorian! While I didn’t love the first season, I have higher hopes for […]
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the ninth film Quentin Tarantino has made and he has made it as his love letter to the ’60s and the film industry as a whole. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follows Western star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and stunt-double/best friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt.) Both have fallen […]
