‘I Feel Pretty’ is a film that wants it all – broad comedy, social impact, moments of pathos and self-reflection. That’s a laudable goal. Any reticence about it will come down to just how much you buy into its premise and the char...
After the rapid plunge of last week’s lame comedy episode, the rollercoaster ride that ‘The Flash’ is taking us on this season makes another ascent with a very eventful and even surprising new entry.
The Ruby character in ‘Agents of ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this season sure has a silly supervillain costume. How can she even see out of that heavy iron mask? That can’t be terribly efficient for fighting.
Welcome to the first episode of ‘Walking Morgan’, a new spinoff from ‘The Walking Dead’ that has virtually no association with the existing spinoff ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ despite misladingly putting that show’s title in its openi...
‘The Walking Dead’ finally closed its disappointing eighth season with a big finale that exiting show-runner Scott Gimple promised would end the war with Negan in a way that will satisfy every fan who has ever watched the show. Yo...

This weekend’s biggest new movie is a waste of time, but because it stars The Rock, it’s still bound to make some money anyway. With that video game adaptation drawing moviegoers, few will likely bother to see the three other newc...
I’m aware that I’ve complained a fair amount about ‘The Flash’ being too mopey and brooding this season in comparison to the lighthearted fun of the early seasons, but this week’s Kevin Smith-directed episode tries too hard to ove...
