‘Aftermath’ Pilot Recap: “It’s Freakin’ Biblical”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 19:00:44 +0000

Syfy’s ‘Aftermath’ puts a slightly new spin on the post-apocalypse survival genre by being about every apocalypse all rolled into one. On a network known for cheese and schlock, this concept is certainly ripe for both. Surprisingly, the show is better than expected, at least so far. Technically, the pilot episode takes place during the...

TIFF Journal: ‘Catfight’

Philip Brown — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 17:00:28 +0000

Sometimes a movie that’s actually kind of good is even more irritating to watch than a total failure. ‘Catfight’ is a little indie with some great ideas, a hell of a cast, and even a number of fantastic sequences, but none of it goes anywhere. In fact, the longer ‘Catfight’ plays the more writer/director Onur...

‘Dig’ Pilot Recap: “In the End, We Mean Nothing”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 16:00:14 +0000

I will admit to approaching the USA Network’s new mystery adventure series ‘Dig’ with a high degree of skepticism. Ads for the show made it look like a lame ‘Da Vinci Code’ knockoff. Of course, sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Sadly, this is not one of those times. As it turns out, the impression from...

‘Wild Card’ Review: Not Quite Standard Issue Statham

Philip Brown — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:00:49 +0000

I must confess to having a soft spot for Jason Statham. Along with The Rock, he’s the last of the old-fashioned action stars. And much like Dwayne Johnson, he’s also a far better actor than his heavily accented 1980s forbearers. Statham might specialize in C-grade action flicks, but at least he’s good at it and...

‘Hung’ 3.01 Recap: “Welcome to Orgasmic Living!”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:00:01 +0000

HBO’s ‘Hung’ returned for its third season this Sunday. Ostensibly a comedy, the series often leans more toward drama. It’s about down-and-out characters scraping to get by, after all. The new season premiere, however, is all about the funny. In a welcome change of pace, the episode also finds our characters on an unexpected upswing....

‘Hung’ 2.03 Recap: One Ho, Two Pimps

Josh Zyber — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:00:56 +0000

This week’s episode of ‘Hung’ finally allows the characters to acknowledge something that we the audience have been thinking all along – that Ray’s kids don’t look anything even remotely like him. No answer is given for this, but at least the question is officially out there on the characters’ minds. A lot of viewers...
