I seem to remember February movies giving folks options for Valentine’s Day date nights. But for the last few years, the romance entries are limited. The only option in that genre this year would be Fifty Shades Freed. Peter Rabbit looks more romantic and that’s about frenemies who happen to be a farmer and a…
Is your New Year’s resolution to see more movies? Well if that is the case, then this January movie list may not be the one you’re looking for. We had a number of big franchise releases at the end of 2017. But the best January has to offer are some relatively low key sequels. My…
If you’re not watching Riverdale on the CW, you definitely should be. It’s a teen drama filled with intrigue and angst, as well as a continuous run of murder mysteries. All this set to the backdrop and crazy character names (we’re looking at you Dilton Doiley and Midge Kulmp) of the Archie Comics universe. It…
It’s December, so you can finally admit to listening to the Mariah Carey Christmas album you’ve been secretly jamming out to since September. Plus, if you can pull yourself away from the constant airings of Elf on cable, there are some big movies on the horizon. A December movie list could start and end with…
What do you get when you take two big superhero flicks, add an epic murder mystery, the return of Pixar and even our first Christmas movies of the season? Well you get an exciting list of November movie releases… and an empty wallet. Is the day after Halloween too early for a Christmas movie? Well…
You may be hard-pressed to find a television show that is a better fit with New York Comic Con crowds than the Amazon original series, The Tick. The character is a superhero, he’s weird/quirky and he’s funny. Add in some well-known actors appearing and it explains why fans were lined up for the panel immediately…
This post contains spoilers from the first four episodes of Star Trek: Discovery and Season 7 of The Walking Dead. When Sonequa Martin-Green was introduced in the Theater at Madison Square Garden for New York Comic Con 2016 during the panel for The Walking Dead, she received a rousing ovation. Almost one year later to…
Let’s take some of your favorite pieces of the 2013 monster film, Pacific Rim. There was the gruff Idris Elba and his epic speech. “Today we are cancelling the apocalypse.” Then there’s Charlie Hunnam playing the lead. How about writer and director Guillermo Del Toro’s world building? Now four years later we’re returning to the…
It was an action-packed finale for The Defenders. Explosions, sacrifices, and Danny Rand looking confused and angry. Everything you would expect from such an episode. We finally learned what the Hand were trying to get to beneath Midland Circle. They are somehow harvesting the dragon bones we saw at the end of the last episode…
(This post contains spoilers from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and The Walking Dead season 3.) Michael Rooker seems like a good guy. But there’s no denying that he has the look and gravelly voice of a villain. That combination presents a perfect fit for Rooker’s two most iconic roles of recent years. As…
With all the horror and creepiness from last month’s movie releases, there aren’t nearly as many October movies fit for the build-up to Halloween. Or maybe everyone got thoroughly creeped out with It and now they’re looking for something less murder-y. Well there are plenty of releases to choose from. Here’s our October movie preview….
Was that a dragon? The final showdown has begun as our heroes face off against the remaining fingers of the Hand… and Elektra. She’s like a prosthetic finger I guess. But the majority of the seventh episode, “Fish in the Jailhouse,” was building up to that showdown with all the characters in the police station….
We’re getting very near the end game on The Defenders. The heroes are building bonds, the villains are losing their patience, and all the supporting characters are still off in the police station trying not to get murdered. But there was some pretty significant murder this episode. Here’s our recap of episode 6, “Ashes, Ashes.”…
Apparently The Defenders require less recovery time than I do after scarfing down Chinese food. They’re immediately in a very tiring looking fight with the Hand after their short reprieve in “The Royal Dragon.” This episode, “Take Shelter,” not only has the heroes score their first major victory (kind of), but it also really showcases…
If we learned anything from The Avengers, it’s that fighting supervillainy in a group setting must immediately be followed up with food. The Defenders traded in the shawarma of their tights wearing contemporaries for some very tasty looking Chinese food. I actually ate Chinese take-out the same night I watched this episode. Guys! They’re just…
