According to Wikipedia a bandersnatch is a creature that appears in a novel (Through The Looking Glass) and a poem (The Hunting of the Snark)by Lewis Carroll. While never described in detail, the bandersnatch supposedly has ‘a long neck and snapping jaws’ and is ferocious and extraordinarily fast. From what I can tell from the […]
2018’s A Quiet Place came in the nick of time because Paramount–the studio that released it–was on relatively shaky ground after the underwhelming response to Star Trek: Beyond (there’s no colon in the title but I’m adding one anyway). It certain didn’t hurt that A Quiet Place was budgeted at $17 million and earned just […]
I’ve ‘met‘ Kevin Spacey before. It was when I was an extra on #Netflix’s House Of Cards and before the allegations of him being any sort of sexual predator came out. I’d like to say that there was something off about him, but if I did I’d be lying. Sure, he came off as stand-offish […]
If you haven’t seen any of the three seasons-so far-of Travelers on #Netflix do yourself a favor and check it out. The imminently bingeable series revolves around the exploits of ‘travelers,’ people from a dystopian future who seek to prevent it from coming into being by altering the past-which is our present. Created by Brad […]
For me the sign of really transcendent fiction–be it a movie, novel or whatever–is when it can not only weather different interpretations, but thrive as a result of them. Which is exactly how I feel about Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House. I have already done a review which covered how impressed I was by […]
You thought that with the cancellation of Daredevil on Netflix that that story was over, didn’t you? At least I did, till I learned that–according to Frosty Weintraub at Collider–has heard that the show was canceled not because of Netflix, but Marvel Television! If you take into account that supposedly the ratings of Netflix were […]
Take this with a shaker of salt, but according to Josh Wilding at Comicbookmovie, part of the reason Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil has less to do with ratings than it does with the fact that Netflix wanted to decrease the length of a season. And while that doesn’t quite seem […]
Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room–currently on Netflix–is a great thriller, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. The movie revolves around a band so hard up for work that they have to siphon gas from nearby cars to get to their gigs. They eventually find themselves in a club frequented by Nazis and skin […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
And I don’t mean in a new season of The Defenders because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix had just cancelled Marvel’s Daredevil. This is particularly odd because Season Three of the Charlie Cox-led series was arguably the strongest season yet though more than anything else it makes me really curious about how they determine […]
