In most cases, that headline might seem like ridiculous hyperbole, but when it comes to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the film is simply the best interpretation of the comic book story experience to the big screen. That’s not to say there aren’t other brilliant comic-based films, but to date those are adaptations to live action, […]

It’s Monday, so hopefully you’ve caught up on this weekend’s episode of STARZ series Outlander, season 4 episode 6, “Blood of My Blood”.  If you haven’t seen the episode yet and DON’T WANT SPOILERS, you may want to find something else to read while we talk about the episode. This is another episode that book fans […]

If there is ANY WAY for you to score tickets to one of the remaining dates on Nine Inch Nail’s Cold And Black And Infinite tour, you should do it. >This< writer says this as having the luck to catch both San Francisco dates of NIN at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Admittedly, I’d only […]

Ralph Breaks the Internet is delightful, charming, has more heart than Ready Player One, and a better internal logic than Tron: Legacy. In short, it’s a blast of a ride and well worth your own ride to the theater. Be warned-there’ll likely be a large number of kids in the audience, so depending on your […]

Television series like Reign had so […]

Bohemian Rhapsody was very, very long, but at the same time, felt like it was missing so much. I could speak at length about my personal disappointment with the film, but judging something on what it could have been vs what it is maybe isn’t so fair. Yes, Rami Maleck is good as Freddie Mercury. […]

Remember the first of the two movies about the White House having taken over by a terrorist siege? No, not White House Down with Channing Tatum, that one was ghastly. The one with Gerard Butler. Hunter Killer is a lot like that in that while no one should ever confuse it with Oscar-level artistry, it is […]
