DEAD SOUND: Do Not Let This One Go Quietly Into the Night
DEAD SOUND: Do Not Let This One Go Quietly Into The Night

Coupled with skill in front and behind the camera, It is not gore or a body count but pure tension that pulsates through Dead Sound, pushing it forward.

STAR TREK: PICARD (S1E4) "Absolute Candor": Computer, Freeze Program
STAR TREK: PICARD (S1E4) “Absolute Candor”: Computer, Freeze Program

“Absolute Candor” is the first properly disappointing episode that finds Picard treading water and lacking any discernible direction.

VFW: A B-Movie Homage That Earns A C
VFW: A B-Movie Homage That Earns A C

VFW is dumb fun, but unfortunately not nearly as much as the description would make it sound.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: A Surprisingly Zany Treat For The Family
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: A Surprisingly Zany Treat For The Family

Colorful, funny, and filled with great performances, Sonic The Hedgehog is a surprisingly above-average video game adaptation.

STAR TREK: PICARD (S1E3) “The End Is The Beginning”: We Have Lift Off

After two weeks of what was beginning to feel like CSI: Picard, it was nice to return to something recognizably Star Trek in “The End Is the Beginning”.

THE RHYTHM SECTION: Not Quite Right
THE RHYTHM SECTION: Not Quite Right

The Rhythm Section has some enjoyable elements, but in the end, this mostly formulaic flick isn’t the female-driven spy thriller we’ve been looking for.

DOLEMITE: A Celebration Of Independent Moviemaking
DOLEMITE: A Celebration Of Independent Moviemaking

We salute Rudy Ray Moore, who had a wild idea, got his pals and like-minded folks together, wrangled some money, and went out to make a movie.

BIRDS OF PREY: A Campy, Candy-Colored Frenzy
BIRDS OF PREY: A Campy, Candy-Colored Frenzy

Birds of Prey is a colorful ball of chaos. Is it a cinematic masterpiece? Far from it. But it’s an absolute blast, and that’s all it needs to be.

STAR TREK: PICARD (S1E2) "Maps And Legends": Wait For It...
STAR TREK: PICARD (S1E2) “Maps And Legends”: Wait For It…

As “Maps and Legends”, the second episode of Star Trek: Picard, comes to an end, it still feels like a show that’s yet to start telling its actual story.

Bad Boys For Life: The Boys Are Back With A Mixed Bag
BAD BOYS FOR LIFE: The Boys Are Back With A Mixed Bag

Bad Boys for Life’s plot is straightforward, the action doesn’t push any boundaries, and yet you still leave having had a pretty good time.

IP MAN 4 THE FINALE: A Lackluster End To A Once Great Franchise
IP MAN 4 THE FINALE: A Lackluster End To A Once Great Franchise

Sadly, it’s hard to call this final chapter of the Ip Man saga a successful piece of filmmaking.

UNDERWATER: Sunk By Familiarity
UNDERWATER: Sunk By Familiarity

Underwater isn’t an outright disaster, but it’s not a diamond in the rough, either.

SPIES IN DISGUISE: A Perfectly Average Send-Off To A Decade Of Computer Animation's Coming Of Age
SPIES IN DISGUISE: A Perfectly Average Send-Off To A Decade Of Computer Animation’s Coming Of Age

Spies in Disguise is an almost poetically appropriate summary of everything computer animation has become in the last ten or so years.

THE WITCHER Season 1: Enjoyable, But Not Without Its Flaws
THE WITCHER Season 1: Enjoyable, But Not Without Its Flaws

The inaugural season of The Witcher manages to outdo expectations over the course of its eight-episode run, but there’s no doubt that the show does have plenty of visible flaws.

6 UNDERGROUND: Michael Bay's Magnificent Slice Of Sheer Madness
6 UNDERGROUND: Michael Bay’s Magnificent Slice Of Sheer Madness

In a holiday season in which the biggest action movie played it relatively safe to disappointing results, 6 Underground’s pure dose of Bayhem is even more of a welcome change of pace.
