A.X.L is not a good movie, but it’s one of the best movies about a man-like person and his robotic dog that I have seen in awhile. That being said, I can only recall only one other movie that featured a robotic canine and that’s Battlestar Galactica (1977). A.X.L isn’t either that good or that […]
I wasn’t optimistic that the second season of The OA could give me everything that I liked about the first season without just repeating it; which I would have likely enjoyed but eventually grow to dislike. Instead Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling doubled down on the weirdness, while expanding the story in new and interesting […]
I’ve read that Netflix alters the episode order of Love, Death + Robots based upon the viewing habits of the particular subscriber. Annnnd…who cares? All Netflix likely knows about me is what I actually watch so if they’re tailoring the order of episodes due to what they perceive as my preferences, who cares (especially when […]

And I wish the directors of Alternate Histories had done just that because it’s only intermittently interesting/funny (and much of that […]
When I first watched Zema Blue, the 14th episode of Love, Death + Robots, I assumed that it was pretty dull story-wise. Then I watched it a second time and realized how wrong I was and the episode is a pretty fascinating commentary on what it means be human. It’s pretty subtle, but it’s there.
A few hours ago Netflix released the official trailer for Stranger Things 3, and I’m whelmed. Not under, but certainly not over, either because the producers efforts to evoke a particular time period have always rang a bit hollow to me. In other words, I think they’re trying too hard. That’s not to say I […]
