I’ll admit- when FOX announced they were bringing back their landmark drama The X-Files for an additional season, I wasn’t too happy. It was my favorite tv show growing up (aside from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and I made my peace with it ending long ago.  Then, the network brought back the show last year for […]

Who doesn’t love giant robots and monsters fighting from the first Pacific Rim film? No one I want to be friends with, that’s for sure.  The highly anticipated sequel to the original Guillermo del Toro film has had some starts and stalls, but after a few pushbacks it finally is getting to theaters. Is it terrible?  Not really, […]

Let’s talk about America’s Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 11, “Beauty is Personality”. VH1’s episode description for this week reads: The models learn personality goes a long way as they are challenged to design an avatar for the new America’s Next Top Model mobile game; the ladies tap into their inner video vixens. Also, if […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Whenever there’s a huge shift from one actor to another leading a familiar franchise there’s an awkward moment where we try to picture them following in the original’s shoes and wondering “can they pull it off”. When we heard that Alicia Vikander was going to be replacing Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the Tomb […]

I love Ernie Cline’s book “Ready Player One”, first and foremost you should know that before reading further.  It meant something special to me the first day I read (and finished, because I seriously couldn’t put the damn thing down) it, and it’s more so now I think.  If you didn’t appriciate the novel for what […]

Warner Bros. Entertainment was awesome enough to send me a copy of the Justice League 4K release to review, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how the film played in my home theater. You may recall from my previous Blu-ray reviews that my home theater was recently upgraded to a 4K tv, […]

This week’s The X-Files is the 9th episode of season 11 on FOX, and is titled “Nothing Lasts Forever”. While investigating human organ theft, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) uncover a mysterious cult consumed with macabre rituals. Organ theft?  Sign me up! But also be aware- there is a lot of blood in this episode. Like, a […]

Right off the bat- know that the new Tomb Raider movie isn’t bad.  I’ve seen no shortage of terribly written fanboy criticism of the film- mostly dudes complaining that Oscar winner Alicia Vikander‘s breasts aren’t big enough to adequately play Lara Croft. Apparently there is a huge group of idiots who never realized this movie is the NEW […]

Let’s talk about America’s Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 10, ‘Beauty Is Real’. VH1’s episode description for this week is dramatic (of course), and reads: The dream of being a PAPER Magazine cover girl soon becomes a nightmare for the top six models as they’re assigned personas out of their comfort zone. Also, we finally […]

Yeah so I personally am more than a little excited for Ready Player One, as you may have gathered from the numerous pieces I’ve done covering the ramp up to tonight’s premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW), and world opening on March 29th. It made sense for Warner Bros to premiere the film there, given author Ernie […]
