Without too much pretense, I must tell you that Passengers has an ill advised and unbelievable twist. I’m going to have to address it right away, because if I don’t, the rest of what I have to say about the film won’t really matter. If you don’t want to know, please click away now and enjoy something […]

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: In Collateral Beauty, Will Smith as Howard Inlet is a father whose daughter has passed away and has retreated in on himself – shutting out his friends, his job, and the world at large. As a catharsis he writes letters addressed simply to Death, Love, and Time as those concepts who have most wronged him in having […]

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 […]

[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.

For fans of History Channel’s scripted drama Vikings, it has been six full months of waiting since we went into the midseason hiatus with the episode, The Last Ship. Over the last several episodes things had been going from bad to worse for our Nordic heroes, culminating with a disastrous river battle against Rollo (Clive Standen) […]

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)?
