Hanna Pilot Recap: “If Anyone Asks, That Girl Does Not Exist”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 13:00:32 +0000

Amazon’s new action thriller Hanna doesn’t officially premiere until March, but the streaming service made the pilot episode available for 24 hours after the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it especially thrilling, but maybe it needs a few more episodes to warm up. A remake/spinoff of the 2011 Joe Wright film starring Saoirse Ronan,...

Lavish in its visual effects and elaborate soundstage sets, the cyberpunk sci-fi drama ‘Altered Carbon’ has been proudly hyped as Netflix’s most expensive and ambitious production to date. What the story about? You’ve seen ‘Blade Runner’, right? How about ‘Ghost in the Shell’? Those will give you an idea of what to expect. Based on...

Now Streaming: ‘House of Cards’ Season 5

Shannon Nutt — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 16:00:49 +0000

Now in its fifth season, the Netflix original series ‘House of Cards’ increasingly feels like a show that’s running out of gas. The difference between this series and others in a similar situation is that the creators seem to know it. Season 5 is a mad rush to throw everything it possibly can at the...

‘Run All Night’ Review: ‘Cause When the Feelin’s Right…

Philip Brown — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 15:00:51 +0000

The strangest thing about ‘Run All Night’ is the fact that it just can’t decide what movie it wants to be. For a while, it seems as though it will be a hardboiled crime thriller littered with movie stars playing street toughs. Then someone threatens the life of Liam Neeson’s son, and we all know...

Now Playing: Your Move, Creep

Philip Brown — Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:00:59 +0000

When it was announced that Sony would remake ‘RoboCop’, the fanboy community exploded in a fit of rage. There was good reason. Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 trash masterpiece is a perfect piece of subversive satire masquerading as a mainstream blockbuster. There was no way a PG-13 reboot could come close to matching it. However, people forget...

‘The Killing’ Gets Resurrected… Again!

Shannon Nutt — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:00:15 +0000

File this in the “Wake me up, I must be dreaming” category. Believe it or not, despite being canceled (twice) by AMC, ‘The Killing’ is coming back for one more final season, thanks to the folks over at Netflix. Of course, Netflix was one of the big reasons that AMC decided to bring the series...

AMC Kills ‘The Killing’

Josh Zyber — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:00:17 +0000

To the dismay of many fans (but probably to the relief of our recapper Aaron, who’d grown frustrated with the show towards the end), the AMC network drove ‘The Killing’ out to the woods this week, dropped it to its knees, and put a bullet in its heart. Oh, right, spoiler alert. Sorry. This is...

‘The Killing’ 3.01 & 3.02 Recaps: “I Break Things”

Aaron Peck — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 19:00:41 +0000

Sunday sure was a pessimistic downer when it came to TV. Over on HBO, ‘Game of Thrones’ reminded us that there’s nothing that show won’t do and no storytelling convention it won’t break. A few channels down the Comcast menu, AMC aired the two-hour premiere of the shortly-canceled-then-revived ‘The Killing’, which was just as sullen...

‘The Killing’ 2.01 Recap: “I Think Rosie’s Killer Is Still Out There”

Aaron Peck — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:00:50 +0000

AMC has made it abundantly clear that the murder mystery in ‘The Killing’ will indeed be solved this season. After the kerfuffle that last season’s ambiguous finale caused, the network wants to make sure everyone knows that “All will be revealed” this time around. Honestly, reassuring everyone that the killer will get discovered this season...

‘The Killing’ Pilot Recap: “Will You Find Who Did This?”

Aaron Peck — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:00:02 +0000

AMC has set itself up as the HBO or Showtime of basic cable. Over the past few years, the network has been acquiring shows like a seasoned collector. ‘Mad Men‘, ‘Breaking Bad‘, and ‘The Walking Dead‘ have all gone on to be critical successes, with popular opinion following in suit. Needless to say, I’ve come...
