[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s face it: whenever we see a trailer featuring Dwayne Johnson in the midst of some over-the-top action film, we know that the charm will come from watching him chewing up the scenery. In recent years it has only become more of a truism — from Moana to Baywatch to Jumanji, it’s been […]

Only three episodes into the final season of FX’s The Americans, and the stakes are high.  Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) has learned about the Star Wars project, and must make a move in order to prevent further danger to her daughter Paige (Holly Taylor).  Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) is struggling to keep out of the lifestyle, […]

Much as we said last week, Legion remains a high point of episodic television.  It’s trippy, very psychedelic, and strangely addictive. The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the rich visceral era the original Chris Claremont X-Men stories were placed in was a genius move, and one that sets the show appart on FX from […]

Let’s talk about America’s Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 14, “Next Level Fierce”. This is the SEASON FINALE for Cycle 24, and the official episode description released by VH1 reads: “The one who the judges deem next level fierce will be crowned America’s Next Top Model in a star-studded runway hosted by renowned fashion designer […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Miracle Season is a film that will likely have a relatively limited shelf-life in theaters but wind up having a relatively devoted following once it settles into its run on streaming services. Directed by Sean McNamara from a script penned by David Aaron Cohen (the fellow who created Friday Night Lights), it’s […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] With the vast wasteland of horrid comedies out there, I did not go into Blockers expecting much more than some frat-level humor, some piss jokes, and no real script to speak of beyond a checklist of contrived scenes. Well I have to admit to being more than pleasantly surprised by the thoughtfulness and […]

Thor: Ragnarok was such a technicolor delight of a Marvel Studios film thanks to director Taika Waititi and his incredible assembled cast and crew.  We’d been waiting to get our hands on a copy of the Ultra HD 4k set of the film, and thought we’d share some of the highlights from the bonus features on […]

FX series The Americans returned last week for the premiere of their 6th and final season, and it delivered with grandeur that’s made the series a highlight of television drama. Seamlessly blending emotionally charged scenes with songs, reveals of newfound skills, and the ultimate protective mother move made s6e1 a highlight of the series, for me […]

Maybe you’re the wrong age bracket to remember the original Lost In Space tv series, or perhaps the title brings up images of the 1998 film.  That’s about to change, thanks to Netflix. When the streaming service first announced they were looking at bringing the classic to a new audience, I’m sure several readers thought that […]

One of the surprise series to come with the superhero swarm of shows on tv is Legion. I say surprise because let’s be honest here, the majority of us had no idea it was going to be as amazingly trippy as it was (and is). The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the […]
