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,...

‘If I Stay’ Review: Please Let Me Go

Philip Brown — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:00:15 +0000

Once hyped as the next ‘Twilight’, ‘If I Stay’ serves up a painfully earnest soap opera for teens that’s as predictable as it is condescending. It’s a romance with vaguely Christian morals for the proto-hipster tween and teen set. In other words, it’s critic-proof until the core audience matures enough to feel embarrassed by the...

‘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...

Poll: What Did You Think of ‘World War Z’?

Josh Zyber — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 19:00:15 +0000

After a year’s delay for rewrites, reshoots and a 3D conversion, the Brad Pitt zombie apocalypse epic ‘World War Z’ finally opened this weekend. Was it worth the wait? If you saw it, what did you think? Reportedly, the mega-budget, infamously troubled production will have to gross at least $400 million just to break even....

Now Playing: It’s ‘Z’ End of the World As We Know It

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:00:10 +0000

A well-structured story was left on the backburner of Hollywood’s latest apocalyptic zombie epic, ‘World War Z’. Instead, we have a $200 million dollar action movie that delivers a few suspenseful situations. I imagine that with Brad Pitt starring in this zombie genre film, box office receipts will do well enough to compete with Pixar’s...

‘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...
