Rating: 3 Stars out of 5 Passengers is Sony’s latest foray into the Sci-Fi arena, with a spin on the Robinson Crusoe story. It would be a pretty good film, if it didn’t take a turn that causes the audience to spend a bulk of it trying to decide how uncomfortable to be with one of the […]

There are special snowflakes out there who will take ANY talk about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as spoilers, so consider this your first warning that I will be talking about things that happen in the film. If you know your Star Wars, nothing in Rogue One will come as a shock, a surprise, or a spoiler. […]

TL;DR: Let’s be really clear – more than anything else, Rogue One is a PG-13 sci-fi war movie. Sure, it’s not Saving Private Ryan level, but if you were to cut out some of Ryan’s flying limbs, guts, and blood – it’s not entirely that far off. It’s definitely still in the Star Wars Universe – […]

Collateral Beauty has almost everything you could want from a holiday release.  Pretty decorated cast, promising premise, and a trailer that tugs the heartstrings. The story is pretty self explanatory from the trailer, grieving father Howard (Smith) is losing touch with the world and his company after the death of his 6 year old daughter. […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Not everyone is into political dramas, especially ones that have to do with the intricacies of policymaking and back-hallway deal making. Personally, I’m a fan of well made and fast paced political dramas, so this one, directed by Shakespeare in Love’s John Madden (no, not the football guy), and written by first timer Jonathan Perera […]

Last week on Vikings, Ragnar returned to Kattegat after 10 years away.  His sons have become men, his current wife has made a mess of almost everything in Kattegat, and Lagertha has continued to rule her Earldom while planning revenge. “The Vision” continues much of what was already set in motion, a very depressed and downtrodden […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Camera Store is an interesting piece of work from writer/director Scott Marshall Smith. Taking place entirely over the course of Christmas eve, 1994. Staring John Larroquette and John Rhys-Davies as Pinky and Ray, two aged employees of a small independent camera store in a small and unremarkable suburban mall. The film itself is primarily a character […]

While Syfy’s latest series, Incorporated, isn’t a reboot of any previous properties, but with the number of tropes it draws from it feels like it might as well be. Take a healthy dose of 1997’s Gattica, and a mix of walled-garden variants (you know the ones, where a small community of have-everythings live segregated away from the rest of the have-nothing population), some Demolition Man, and a bit of Judge Dredd for good measure, and you’ve basically got the setup for Incorporated.

Vikings returns to HISTORY Channel amid blood, dirt and magic.  Time has passed, our beloved characters have grown older, things have happened in their absence, and the world is changed. This isn’t the first time the series has jumped ahead in time, creator/writer Michael Hirst wanted the jump to “be bolder”, to show the lurch […]

At the end of last week’s episode we had Jesus and Carl hidden in the back of a cargo truck on the way to find Negan’s lair. Great, that’s exciting, that means we can get down to business of dishing out some payback. We get to tonight’s episode, ‘Swear’, and rather than picking up where we left off, we’re in the middle of nowhere in an RV with…. Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Heath (Corey Hawkins)?
