We’re only halfway through the summer movie season and we’ve already been treated to a screen full of superheroes with more coming in faster than a speeding bullet.

The BBC’s hit TV show Sherlock, a modern adaptation of the mystery-solving duo starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, is on its way back to its many adoring fans. This year, the BBC will be releasing a Christmas special, and fans will probably receive the fourth season that they’ve long been waiting for sometime in 2017….
True Detective ramped up the action this week. We expect brooding police officers and shady business deals, but not usually a full on firefight in the streets with tons of casualties. (Interestingly we got a shootout at the same point last season.) But this fight was just the last little while of the “Down Will…
Since we were kids, we have been fascinated by the amazing creations that have been brought to us on TV, especially when it included dinosaurs. These movies were a part of our creativity, our imagination, and most importantly our childhood. Now as adults, we still have the same amount of love for dinosaurs as we did…
Kingsman: The Secret Service is an R-rated spy movie satire set in Britain. Filled with both Bond-esque style and over-the-top brutal action and profanity, this movie is an odd, yet original, one in the genre. If you’re willing to look past the sometimes gratuitous swearing and the occasionally hardcore violence, this may be a good movie to…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard earned dollar. This week, iTunes brings us Morten Tyldum’s espionage thriller, The Imitation Game, based on the true story…
So, long story short, not dead. The unthinkable cliff-hanger last week, with Ray Velcoro taking two shotgun blasts to the chest, had us all reeling about what this could mean for the rest of the True Detective season. But it turns out he was shot with riot shells meant to seriously slow you down in…
This week, CBS aired the pilot episode of its new show Zoo, titled “First Blood.” Reminiscent of disaster/apocalypse movies and the action/thriller genre of TV, this series nonetheless brings a fresh look to the theme of a changing world. It has a definite pro-nature tone, with the question being asked in the first few seconds of…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard earned dollar. Damn you iTunes. Damn you to hell. Just when I thought I could get by without sitting…
If you happen to have any money left after seeing Jurassic World over and over in June, there is a solid slate of July movies to add to your summer checklist. I doubt any of them will come close to the Indominus Rex sized haul of Jurassic, but we have sequels a plenty. So go…
Hollywood lost one of the greats last week when a tragic plane crash in Santa Barbara, CA took the life of legendary Film Composer James Horner. The two time Academy Award Winner and seven time nominee scored some of the greatest films of all-time including: Star Trek II (1982), Aliens (1986), Field of Dreams (1989), Braveheart (1995), Titanic (1996) and…
Just two weeks ago I was recapping the Game of Thrones season finale. Avoiding cross-series spoilers, we fans were questioning a pretty clear death scene. In a world with magic and zombies and stuff, this character couldn’t be dead. Could he? Well now we’re in a world without magic. True Detective just seemingly killed its…
At this point, being a geek has become largely mainstream. More and more people have come to the conclusion that “brainy is the new sexy,” as exemplified by the many intelligent, observant, well-dressed people on our TVs. The new CBS TV show Scorpion, which has been approved for a second season, illustrates just that. Meet Scorpion’s …
True Detective is quite a beast of a TV show. It teaches us what it takes to be a detective. Firstly, you must be an incredibly screwed up individual. Once you have amassed a collection of inner demons, then you must grow a mustache like Matthew McConaughey’s character from season one of the show and…
Pixar’s newest animated masterpiece is finally here! Inside Out brings Pixar back into the world after a slump that lasted far too long for most Pixar lovers. The Disney-owned company, known for popular classics like Up, Toy Story, and Finding Nemo, is known for the care and dedication it puts into its work. The producers and directors tend to…
