David Robert Mitchell, the writer and director of It Follows, is planning a sequel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s going to be called They Follow and continue the story of the characters introduced in the first movie. I enjoyed the movie though it confused me why the entity was so inescapable because – while […]
Say what you will about Netflix, you have to admit that they do reality shows right. Their latest is Surviving Paradise – the titular similarity to Survivor I suspect is no coincidence – revolves around 15 people who all have to stay in pretty primitive circumstances, till half of them are lifted up, so to […]
As far as I’m concerned, I’ve enjoyed everything – to varying degrees – that Mike Flanagan has produced for Netflix, but all good things must come to an end The Fall of the House of Usher is the last thing we’re likely to see from the auteur in that space for a long time, since […]
I’m a bit concerned about The Exorcist: Believer because it’s getting some fairly bad reviews (I’ve read only four or five, and none were particularly charitable). Now keep in mind, I’m fond of thinking for myself but at the same time if enough people say something sucks I tend to think they can’t all be […]
According to MacDailyNews, Netflix – along with seemingly every other paid streaming network – will be raising prices, if they haven’t already. This really pisses me off because the solution for American companies is always to raise prices, not ‘maybe we ought to stop paying executives way more money than they’re worth.’ That way they’d […]
UFO was Gerry Anderson’s first live action television series (he typically worked with puppets, creating shows like Stingray, Terrahawks, Thunderbirds, and others). The series revealed around S.H.A.D.O (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organisation) and its mission to protect the Earth from alien invaders. It’s a show I enjoyed growing up, particular due to the remarkable theme […]
I reviewed the first episode of Disney+’s Moon Knight – The Goldfish Problem – last week and was perhaps a bit uncharitable because the Moon Knight depicted in the series was a later interpretation of the character, and not the one I grew up reading. The earliest incarnation of the character had none of the […]
I took advantage of the $1.99 Disney+ deal that I mentioned a week or so ago and while going though their catalog I realized that the bulk of the shows and movies available on the service I either didn’t care about seeing, had already seen or already own. So there isn’t much point to it, […]
I just learned that there’s a Disney+ sale in the United States (the tier with commercials) for $1.99 and I have to admit that I might bite because I’m really curious about Moon Knight. That being said, that price only lasts three months, after which it returns to $7.99. I’ve always been of the opinion […]
Did you see The Haunting of Hill House (2018) on Netflix? If you haven’t it’s still there and well worth seeing though the reason I mention it is because I have a suspicion that it owes a lot to Peter Medak’s The Changeling, which is likely among the best ghost stories ever put to film. […]
