I going to just put this out there, but I don’t tend to like inspirational-type movies that wear their inspiration on their sleeves. Antebellum–at least based upon the trailer–is such a movie. Janelle Monáe plays Veronica, a powerful, progressive woman who’s chosen to go back to Slavery times to (likely) write some sort of wrong. […]
The second season of Netflix’s Altered Carbon dropped Friday of last week and had quite a hurdle to clear. First, it had to make the replacement of Joel Kinneman seem natural (which is hard to do when you take into account that his replacement is Anthony Mackie, an African-American) then they had to make the […]
Which I mention because after 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story I thought that the mediocre experience Edwards seemingly had making the movie drove him from Hollywood all together. It wouldn’t be the first time. Stephen Norrington quit movie making after the terrible time he had directing 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Apparently […]
What I wrote in my review of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery was that I enjoyed it despite the fact that it was Star Trek in name only (for the most part) that doesn’t apply to the second season, which has almost righted the ship, so to speak. Part of the reason for […]
Ignore all the hatred you’ve heard about Star Trek: Discovery (currently airing in the United States on CBS All Access, internationally on Netflix) because IT IS AWESOME. That being said, that “awesome” should be taken with more than a few caveats, the biggest being that if you’re a worshipper at the Church of Roddenberry, you’re […]
Is it just me or is Christopher Nolan one of the most visually unimaginative directors working today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that he’s not good at what he does–I not saying that at all–though what I am saying is that Nolan grounds everything in reality to such a degree that it makes […]
Disappointed by Terminator: Dark Fate (apparently if the box office’s any indicator you wouldn’t be the only one) and have a Netflix subscription? Check out In The Shadow Of The Moon, Jim Mickle’s, thematically speaking, Terminator-like sci-fi movie because it’s really good. I could go into the plot–but I won’t because it’s integral to the […]
Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999 ranks among the best science fiction series every made (in my point of view). It’s not perfect by any stretch yet perfect for the time it appeared and well worth revisiting. That being said, this is an audio drama not a television series or movie but if you’re a fan of […]
With virtually every company seemingly creating a streaming network, is it any surprise Apple is moving into the space with AppleTV+? And while no one is likely to purchase an iPhone, an iPad or Apple Watch for a free year of AppleTV+, the pricing is beyond competitive at $4.99 a month. Now all the need […]
The second trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped a few hours ago, and it’s…underwhelming. The visuals look good, but are by no means exceptional. And there’s also way too much CGI, which was not the case with the first two movies, coincidentally the only two movies in the series that were accepted by both critics […]
