Weekend Movies: Reacher Madness
When the majority of this weekend’s new movies look pretty good, it’s going to be difficult deciding what to see. Even though there appears to be clear winners and duds in this mix, you’ll definitely want to do s...
‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ Review: Best. Board. Game. Mo
Last year’s ‘Ouija‘ was one of the worst and laziest horror movies released by a major studio in the past decade. The new prequel ‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ is one of the best. The reason: Mike Flanagan....
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 4.04 Recap: “You Had t
The ghosts and the Ghost Rider are both back on ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week. I say this without much enthusiasm. Perhaps comic book fans can answer me this: Is Ghost Rider a ghost who rides, or does he ride ghos...
‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 2.03 Recap: “This Party Is
‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ strikes a better balance between gore and slapstick this week than the season’s first couple of episodes. Somehow, it does this despite having a very goofy plot.
‘Keeping Up with the Joneses’ Review: Not Much to Kee
‘Keeping Up with the Joneses’ is cute. If you’ve seen the trailer or even know the premise, the story doesn’t offer much in the way of surprises. It’s pretty standard suburbanite lameness humor with a...
‘Supergirl’ 2.02 Recap: “#TooMuchFun”
After a strong premiere last week (which resulted in The CW’s highest ratings for a Monday night show since 2008), the Girl of Steel is still hanging out with the Man of Steel in the second episode of ‘Supergirl’...
‘Gotham’ 3.05 Recap: “Give the Mayor My Best
‘Gotham’ has a new mayor. Given how quickly storylines move on this show, how long do we think this state of affairs will last? My guess is that he’ll be ousted from office before the winter hiatus.
‘Unless’ Review: Sincerely Disappointing
Based on a popular novel (that I unfortunately haven’t read) by Carol Shields, ‘Unless’ makes broad attempts at the profound rooted in the everyday, but sadly ends up feeling merely mundane and disappointing. The...
‘Legends of Tomorrow’ 2.01 Recap: “This Is No T
During its first season, DC’s ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ was often as frustrating as it was fun. Fortunately, with annoying villain Vandal Savage now out of the picture (hopefully for good, though with a time travel s...
‘Westworld’ 1.03 Recap: “Let’s See Where
Three episodes in, ‘Westworld’ is slowly doling out answers (or at least clues) to some of its little mysteries, but I’m still troubled by a big one that I don’t think the writers have any plans to ever add...
‘Falling Water’ Pilot Recap: “We All Have Restl
Did you sort of like the Christopher Nolan movie ‘Inception’ and the Wachowskis’ Netflix series ‘Sense8’ but feel that both were just a little too challenging and/or edgy for you? Good news! Now these...
Weekend Box Office: Simple Math
Ben Affleck’s latest movie headed into the weekend with mixed reviews, leading most to believe that it would become his second of 2016 to fail to please audiences. No one predicted that it would perform as well as it did. Me...
