The Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV Series Almost Surpasses the Original Before Running Into the Same Problems
By: William Hume Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the nearly 20-year-old movie (wow) is exactly the property that should be remade. A movie that will forever be known for its on-screen chemistry and off-screen relationships. It’s a fun movie that ends poorly but has such a fun premise to get itself there: Married Spies unbeknownst to…
Futurama is Back Baby!
FUTURAMA PREMIERE S8 (or is it 11?) REVIEW I’m burning the candle at both ends. Writing a review as I edit another video while watching. I’m overworking myself and I’m not even employed. Imagine how the Writer’s Guild of America feels. It’s timely that Futurama would return amid a writer’s strike given its first return…

“Andor” Tries to Offer ‘Star Wars Fans’ One Way Out of Its Downward Spiral
Watching Andor took a long time because Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett were awful. Andor with more realistic sets and professional Academy Award-nominated co-writers like Beau Willimon, Tony & Dan Gilroy is a step up. The directing by Toby Haynes is a step above Deborah Chow’s work, although that’s not saying much. It still suffers from…
‘Better Call Saul’ Reminds Us What Must See TV is Like Again
I cannot remember the last time I was this excited about a cable TV show. Game of Thrones perhaps? But even then you can catch HBO on demand. AMC at least for my cable subscription is a dangerous one and done. The kind that has strangled the cable industry, but I welcome the pace change….
Politically Objectionable, Objectively Thrilling ‘The Terminal List’ pushes Chris Pratt further to the Hollywood Edge
Last year, Chris Pratt showed up in The Tomorrow War. A bland-looking cookie-cutter sci-fi actioner from Amazon Prime. That bland visual look from Amazon is back along with Chris Pratt to deliver a rock’em sock ’em nauseating vengeance trip where the violent ends barely justify the means. This is the meat and potatoes, airport paperback…
Stranger Things Returns to Diminishing Effect With Season 4: Volume 2
When Volume 1 came out, I criticized the show for not killing off important characters when their time was up. Now it seems with the season’s end the tide has turned with me. If the main characters do not die there are no stakes and therefore no one is in any real danger. Despite what…
