This week on “Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix) Hates France”, I mean Outlander….Sorry, that’s what I’m calling the first two episodes of STARZ’s second season of Outlander.  I mean really, aside from the lush sets, costumes, and language, the cast really brings this sophomore season to life. S2E2 ‘Not In Scotland Anymore’ opens  Jamie, Claire, and Murtagh […]

I love classic Disney cartoons.  Do they tell the stories accurately?  Not even remotely.  Do they stay with you in song and visuals for most of your life?  YEP! When director/actor Jon Favreau announced his intention to do a new version of the Rudyard Kipling story The Jungle Book, I was surprised.  We’d had a live […]

The world of book-to-television shows can be a scary place.  We’ve been pretty spoiled in the grand scheme of things, and a good show runner can make all the difference in a good adaptation.  Luckily for fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, we got Battlestar Galactica‘s Ronald D. Moore and STARZ. Season one of Outlander went […]

What can I say about HISTORY’s Vikings that I haven’t already stated 10,000 times?  The series’ double length 4th season has just about everything I look for in my television dramas, with the added bonus of being better episode-for-episode than it’s big budget cousin, Game of Thrones over on HBO.  Rollo (Clive Standen) Princess Gisla (Morgane Polanski) […]

The most recent episode of Vikings “The Profit and The Loss“, […]

Much as reviewers and show runners are claiming to be in the beginnings of a television Renaissance age, it’s about time for films to circle back to being wonderful pieces of storytelling on the big screen. After the surprise success (and awesomeness) of 10 Cloverfield Lane, we may be returning into the realm of strong science fiction […]

Is the evil within greater than the evil outside?  Billed as “a distant blood relative” of 2008’s Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t what you’re expecting, no matter WHAT you’re expecting.  Even though yes, it *is* a Bad Robot picture, this film is it’s own little bombshelter universe. This is director Dan Trachtenberg’s FIRST FEATURE, and boyhowdy does […]

We all thought the “Orphan Fight” meme was amusing right?  I mean, who’da thought the pivotal Batman fighting Superman (pushed into being by yet another orphan) moment would come down to the name of their mother’s staying the killing blow?  I’m going to do my best to talk AROUND spoilers, but they may happen.  So, […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Warner Bros. is doing all it can to try to outdo Fox when it comes to how fast it can run their primary superhero property down the drain. Where it should be geek fans having the eternal debates of who would win in a fight between superheroes, instead it’s a conversation of which […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s start this off by saying that no small part of the fun of viewing Midnight Special will come from going into the theater knowing as little as possible about it. Leave it to say that it’s an entertaining road adventure with a young boy named Alton Meyer (played by Jaeden Liberher) who […]
