“Andor” Review

Andor: Created by Tony Gilroy. With Diego Luna, Denise Gough, Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller. In an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue, Cassian Andor embarks on a path that is destined to turn him into a Rebel hero. The recent Star Wars content has been as varied as it has been fantastic, with Andor being on the vastly more series side of things in comparison with the equally as good but much more light hearted Skeleton Crew. Season 2 of Andor fits seamlessly with Rogue One and features some of the most dramatic and beautiful acting from some of...

“Thunderbolts*” Review

Thunderbolts*: Directed by Jake Schreier. With Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must go on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. The MCU is back baby! It also never left! I was somewhat disappointed that they didn’t go with the golden age origin story, but the one they had for the movie works in context of the wider universe that’s been rolling for nearly 20 years now.

“Venom: The Last Dance” Review

Venom: The Last Dance: Directed by Kelly Marcel. With Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans. Eddie Brock and Venom must make a devastating decision as they’re pursued by a mysterious military man and alien monsters from Venom’s home world. Watched again with my wife. This was indeed a movie with a character named “Venom” in it. I have no memories of dancing though. Buy On Amazon!

“Kraven the Hunter” Review

Kraven the Hunter: Directed by J.C. Chandor. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola. Kraven’s complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff, starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared. This is a much better film than I was expecting and would have been even better if it had no connection whatsoever to the Spider-man universe, but alas, Kraven is a well known Spider-man villain that isn’t as interesting as he could be when the movie...

“Sinners” Review

Sinners: Directed by Ryan Coogler. With Miles Caton, Saul Williams, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Jack O’Connell. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. I finally got around to watching this in an AMC, but sadly missed the Dolby Digital release. I actually tried to see it a few weeks ago, but it had already shifted from the DD theater to the 10 seater and I gave up on seeing it in a theater, but it’s been doing so well...

“The 4:30 Movie” Review

The 4:30 Movie: Directed by Kevin Smith. With Siena Agudong, Austin Zajur, Kate Micucci, Ming Chen. A group of teens in the 1980s spend the day theater-hopping. I don’t remember seeing a single advertisement for this being in theaters and only caught wind of it on the Amazon “new movies on 4k” page. It likely would not have been a great theater movie, but it was a perfectly fun coming of age movie about movie theaters and the shenanigans that movie fans used to get up to whilst hanging out at the movie theater.

“Running Point” Review

Running Point: Created by Ike Barinholtz, Mindy Kaling, Elaine Ko, David Stassen. With Kate Hudson, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song. Isla Gordon, overlooked her whole life, is appointed President of the LA Waves basketball team, a family business. She aims to prove she was the right choice despite skepticism. A show to have on while we ate, “Running Point” was a better behind the scenes show than it was a basketball show, but it was entertaining enough that we were able to watch it in about a month’s worth of dinners. Kate Hudson is that one girl that I’ve...

“The Pitt” Review

The Pitt: Created by R. Scott Gemmill. With Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa. The daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital as they juggle personal crises, workplace politics, and the emotional toll of treating critically ill patients, revealing the resilience required in their noble calling. I’ve always thought that a 15 hour shift at a hospital was ridiculous, dangerous, and irresponsible, but it was a clever gimmick for this show to show an entire shift of a trauma center in Pittsburg. I have it on good authority that while this is a highly realistic series...

“Harley Quinn Season 5” Review

Harley Quinn: Created by Justin Halpern, Dean Lorey, Patrick Schumacker. With Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches. The series focuses on a single Harley Quinn, who sets off to make it on her own in Gotham City. I’m not sure if the series is just bad now or if my tastes in comic book adaptations isn’t in line with the mainstream, but I’ve always thought that Brainiac storylines were goofy and barely acceptable for a Superman tale, but now I know they’re completely out of line with what I want from a Harley Quinn television series. The entire...

Set on the subterranean Mine-World, a band of human worker are treated like slaves under the power of the evil overlord Zygon until one, Orin, unearths the hilt of a mythical sword that only he can master.
