Sundance Journal: Blinded by the Light

Jason Gorber — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 16:00:26 +0000

Blinded by the Light is a tribute to the power of the Boss. The film dramatically illustrates how Bruce Springsteen’s lyrics and power of storytelling can cross oceans and speak to those far removed from the original context where these tunes were created. For millions of fans, the songs of Bruce Springsteen are the stuff...

Christopher Robin Review: Come On, Get Happy

Deirdre Crimmins — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:00:35 +0000

Few children’s stories are held as dear as those with Winnie the Pooh. Long before being licensed by Disney in 1961, Pooh and his friends had adventures that spanned the whole length of their Hundred Acre Wood. As much as modern day armchair critics like to cry foul whenever Disney acquires a new property, the...

‘Agent Carter’ 2.10 Recap: “Everything Is Where It Belongs”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 14:00:13 +0000

I gave up recapping ‘Agent Carter’ a few weeks back because, like most of the viewing audience and even its own broadcast network, I completely lost interest in the show. Given that last week’s season finale will very likely also serve as the series finale, I suppose I should close this out with one final...

‘Agent Carter’ 2.01 & 2.02 Recaps: “There Are Currencies Stronger Than Money”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:00:26 +0000

Peggy Carter is one plucky gal. Despite flagging ratings during its first season (not to mention the general tedium of its execution), Marvel’s ‘Agent Carter’ somehow got renewed for another eight-episode run. The new season brings a big change in setting and scenery, but is that enough to qualify as an improvement? Between this series...

Captain’s Blog: Calgary Expo 2015

Tom Landy — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 13:00:19 +0000

The 10th annual Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo wrapped up its four-day extravaganza on Sunday, April 19th with a record-setting 101,999 attendees – plus me, of course. Just like I did a few years ago, I made the 13+ hour trek across the prairies from Winnipeg to Calgary to join the celebrations, except this time...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.08 Recap: “I Thought You’d Be Better”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:00:31 +0000

The network ads described this week’s episode of ‘Agent Carter’ as the “season finale,” as if there’s still some chance of a Season 2. Originally promoted as a limited run series, the show initially did well enough in the ratings to get people’s hopes up for a renewal. However, a ratings slide in subsequent episodes...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.04 Recap: “I Like Predictable”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:00:58 +0000

Five seconds. That’s about how much of last week’s episode of ‘Agent Carter’ was of even the slightest interest. This show started in a position of weakness and has rapidly slid downhill in every successive episode. Has there been some production turmoil behind-the-scenes at Marvel? Considering how much potential the premise and cast of this...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.03 Recap: “Shut Up, English, You Talk Too Much”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:00:59 +0000

Hey, did you like all that fightin’ and shootin’ and car chases and explosions and spy intrigue in last week’s premiere of Marvel’s new ‘Agent Carter’ series? Well, I hope those episodes were enough to give you your fill of that sort of thing, because apparently that was the last of it. Based on the...

‘Agent Carter’ Pilot & 1.02 Recaps: “Captain America, What Would I Do Without You?”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:00:55 +0000

Since ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ is on break until March, Marvel has decided to fill its time slot with the new (supposedly) limited-run spin-off/prequel series ‘Agent Carter’. With a period setting and an appealing heroine in the lead, ads for the show looked like a lot of fun. So why is the premiere so damned dull?...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 2.08 Recap: “Discovery Requires Experimentation”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:00:54 +0000

Franchise synergy is the game at play in ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week, as the show hammers in a pretty shameless tie-in for its upcoming ‘Agent Carter’ spin-off. Fortunately, the episode is a pretty good one anyway. ‘The Things We Bury’ jumps around among three different timelines. Here’s how it breaks out chronologically: A Long...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 2.01 Recap: “Go Dark”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 13:00:47 +0000

Now that DC has finally unveiled its big new superhero spin-off show, Marvel Comics doesn’t want you to forget that it has a superhero spin-off show on TV too. You remember ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, don’t you? Yeah, last year’s most disappointing and underwhelming series – that’s the one. Well, it’s back for a second season,...
