Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations: Time Lock

The dedicated agents of the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations have their work cut out for them protecting the course of history from the dangers of time travel. But the galaxy is littered with artifacts that, in the wrong hands, could threaten reality. One of the DTI’s most crucial jobs is to track down these objects and lock them safely away in the Federation’s most secret and secure facility. As it happens, Agent Gariff Lucsly and his supervisor, DTI director Laarin Andos, are charged with handling a mysterious space-time portal device discovered by Starfleet. But this device turns out to...

“The Running Man” Review

The Running Man: Directed by Edgar Wright. With Glen Powell, Alyssa Benn, Sienna Benn, David Zayas. A man joins a game show in which contestants, allowed to go anywhere in the world, are pursued by “hunters” hired to kill them. A great reimagining of the story of a national show full of bloodlust, violence, and gratuitous nudity of Glen Powell. The plot itself gets pretty bad once the third act hits and it vaporized my suspension of disbelief when everyone kept assuming that the corporation that has never kept its word was going to keep its word when it made...

“Wifelike” Review

Wifelike: Directed by James Bird. With Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Elena Kampouris, Doron Bell, Agam Darshi. When artificial human Meredith is assigned as a companion to grieving widower William, she is designed to behave like his late wife. But in the fight to end AI exploitation, an organization attempts to sabotage her programming. This feels like an HBO movie, with near porn levels of nudity in the first act with an amazingly beautiful cast, which tapers off and refocuses into a story that has some fun elements that make the entire thing pretty recommendable. The robots’ acting is goofy as all...

“Marvel Zombies” Review

Marvel Zombies: Created by Zeb Wells. With Iman Vellani, Todd Williams, David Boat, Robin Atkin Downes. After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking their lives to save their world. A blink and you’ll miss it show, I don’t think I saw much advertising for this and after I watched the first episode it disappeared from the “Featured Shows” slideshow that D+ has. I think I made a mistake by signing up for the combined Hulu/D+/ESPN subscription...

“Wing Commander” Review

Wing Commander: Directed by Chris Roberts. With Freddie Prinze Jr., Saffron Burrows, Matthew Lillard, Tchéky Karyo. Blair, a fighter pilot, joins an interstellar war to fight the evil Kilrathi who are trying to destroy the universe. Oh sure, I’ve seen this before, at least a dozen times according to my memories, but have I ever seen it in 2025? Yes, I have. Buy On Amazon!

“Star Wars: Visions” Season 3 Review

Star Wars: Visions: With Michael Sinterniklaas, Adam Sietz, Patrick Seitz, Yuuki Shin. An anthology of animated shorts from around the world celebrating the mythology of Star Wars through unique cultural perspectives. A much weaker season than the previous two, the book end episodes are downright terrible with stylistically gross art styles and stories that were less than interesting. There’s some good meat in this moldy sandwich though, so if you can get through the first episode, you’ll enjoy everything except the last one. Maybe just skip those and watch them after you see the others. Buy On Amazon!

“Gen V” Season 2 Review

Gen V: Created by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen. With Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor. From the world of “The Boys” comes “Gen V,” which explores the first generation of superheroes to know that their super powers are from Compound V. These heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test competing for the school’s top ranking. Gen V works best when it’s not tied up with it’s older sibling “The Boys”, but this second season is pretty great, even with the couple of tie in episodes that weigh it down to it’s...

“Predator: Badlands” Review

Predator: Badlands: Directed by Dan Trachtenberg. With Reuben de Jong, Cameron Brown, Elle Fanning, Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. A young Predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely ally on his journey in search of the ultimate adversary. I’ve very happy with the direction that the Alien/Predator franchise(s?) are going and Predator: Badlands just re-enforces that opinion. There’re a very limited cast here, I think we see only maybe 4 or 5 actors in the entire film, but the surprisingly (sorta spoiler) thing is that there isn’t a single human in the whole film. All we see are Predators, Human Synths, and...
