For Marvel’s Daredevil I literally watched the entire first series over about a day and a half. The reason I did so was because i wanted to see if i could, though i was also curious if could stand up to a serious binge-viewing. And it passed with flying colors. I’m not terribly familiar with […]
On the whole, I enjoyed the first two seasons of Netflix’s Hemlock Grove,
Despite being an avid comic reader, prior to Netflix’s Jessica Jones I barely knew anything about the character. I still don’t but I like the way–if the teasers are any indication–where it’s going. Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a political thriller, Guardians Of The Galaxy was Marvel’s interpretation of a space opera. Daredevil (Netflix’s version) […]
“Superhero fatigue” seems all the rage among some, but it’s a dubious concept at best, and easily disproven. Reason being, if superhero fatigue were a thing, it would have been proceeded by ‘zombie fatigue.’ Look at the 2013’s World War Z, the Brad Pitt-starrer that was for awhile looking like the Fantastic Four of its time.

If you separate the oftentimes blatant sexuality from Clive Barker’s work, what’s left?
Can Evrenol’s Baskin premiered at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) for some serious acclaim, though looking at the trailer–which I understand not only can’t but more than likely doesn’t necessary represent the movie–it feels particularly chaotic, and not in a good way. Evrenol’s a Turkish director, so the movie probably represents sensibilities that may not necessarily […]
The trailer for Netflix’s Marvel’s Jessica Jones has just dropped, and it’s very psychedelic and…purple. I assume that that has a lot to do with the influence of the Purple Man (David Tennant) on Jessica Jones. He’s a character that has the ability to control people’s actions (if I recall, due to pheromones or some […]
How much of what analysts do is about ego?
“Entertaining, in that singularly unique Spike Lee way.” Spike Lee is a fascinating director, for better or for worse. By which I mean, the trip isn’t always the most leisurely, though if you’re prescient enough to see where he’s trying to take you, you find yourself the better for it. Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, the movie that he […]
Part of what makes Netflix (and services like Hulu) so awesome is that whenever you see a series, no matter when it was actually released, it’s new to you. Having recently watched Keir Gilchrist in Dark Summer I was impressed enough with his performance to seek out more of his work, so when I learned that […]
