Last Looks: Directed by Tim Kirkby. With Charlie Hunnam, Mel Gibson, Lucy Fry, Rupert Friend. A disgraced ex-cop seeks solace by moving to the woods, but his quiet life comes to an end when a private eye recruits him to investigate a murder. Other than Mel Gibson’s rediculous accent, this is a pretty fun film. Even that accent has a certain charm to it, but it’s just so out of place and fake it takes me out of the film ever moment I hear it. It’s a toss up of who looked better in this Charlie Hunnam or Morena Baccarin,...

Morbius: Directed by Daniel Espinosa. With Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris. Biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead. I remember when word came out that Sony was going to make this movie, then they hired Jared Leto in the main role, I formed a picture of what I thought the final product would look like, and with some very minor exceptions, this is exactly what I thought it would be, for better or worse. The actors are present, there’s music, some...

The G Word with Adam Conover: Created by Jon Cohen, Adam Conover, Jon Wolf. With Nicole Randall Johnson, James Austin Johnson, Sierra Katow, Carol Herman. Follows Conover introducing the civil servants who make it work and take a satirical look at its shortcomings.

It was basically Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” but with much more hand holding research and documented sources, explaining the ins and outs about everything from office rights to circumcision. “The...

Constantine: Directed by Francis Lawrence. With Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou. Supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine helps a policewoman prove her sister’s death was not a suicide, but something more. With all due respect to the other actors that have played the Hellblazer, this is likely my favorite version of the character, with my favorite story that the he’s been in on screen. Sure he’s not british, sure he’s not blonde, but he’s got the same middle finger waving attitude you’d hope for from someone that’s just angry at the state of things and having to...
