‘Super Troopers 2’ Review: Criminally Unfunny

Jason Gorber — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:00:26 +0000

I broke a couple of my rules when I screened ‘Super Troopers 2’. Normally for a sequel, I’d hunt down the original so that I wouldn’t miss any of the callbacks or subtlety of character development. Instead, I figured with this one that the best tack would be one of surprise, just to see what...

Spike’s Idiot Box: Down but Not Out

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:00:01 +0000

I’ve been a huge fan of AMC’s ‘The Killing’, which was canceled twice, breaking my heart both times. So I was euphoric when I learned this week that Netflix has picked the series up for yet another final season. I’m quite excited for the show’s return, the date of which is currently unknown. In the...
