Wow! I’m back… again. It has been entirely too damn long since I graced these pages and man am I glad to be back. A lot has happened since I was last here and while I won’t bore you with the details, just suffice it to say I’m back to stay. I was really kind…
Gilead is a tough place to be a woman. And I know—that’s a statement even Captain Obvious would roll his eyes at. But what The Handmaid’s Tale really wants us to understand is that, while life is difficult for anyone in Gilead whose only real crime is having the audacity to be born female, some…
Hi, my name is Kelly and you may remember me from such bad ideas as “what is Knife+Heart about, based solely on the trailer?”, and “oh, not that.” This week, I’ve watched the trailer for Castle Freak, a movie which reminded me several times of the fact that it was made by Stuart Gordon, a…
Archer: 1999 Season 10, Episode 5: “Mr. Deadly Goes to Town” Everyone’s life should have purpose and meaning. There are many who believe that each person is given a specific purpose at birth, and that person can only find true happiness by fulfilling that particular objective. Others will tell you that, while there may be…
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 6: “Household” The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t exactly feel-good television. We don’t expect it to be. It’s one of the best shows on TV right now, to be sure, but it’s not always easy to watch. I’m kind of glad Hulu decided to dole these episodes out on a weekly…
So the usually consistent performance of films based on Marvel Comics didn’t come through last month with Dark Phoenix. Don’t expect that same disappointment amongst the July movies when Spider-Man: Far from Home swings onto screens. The world needs to know how Peter Parker can sit through math class after floating around space as dust…
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. Ok, the featured $0.99 movie this week is a little comedy by the name of Holmes & Watson. Yes,…
And I was right. But also wrong. Nothing ever truly goes without saying, so loudly, emphatically and with all the gusto I can summon on a Thursday afternoon, allow me to shout “spoilers” to the ether, as one must, if they intend to discuss with any credibility, the finer points of a film, and more…
Summer is here. No reason for you to stay inside, immerse your eyeballs in Netflix programming, and let your brain and body decay into atrophy, unless… you’re a vampire. In which case we’ve got you covered. Here’s how Netflix is aiding the bloodthirsty in their commitment to stay indoors. The return of Netflix original series…
Hi, my name is Kelly and I like to watch movies. Often of the horror persuasion, but I am open to the entire spectrum of genre living. If there is one thing I enjoy more deeply than a good film (or a bad film, let’s not be hasty) it’s spending a long, fruitless evening, waffling…
Since Archer decided to put its eponymous lead character in a coma three season ago, we’ve seen essentially the same show play out in multiple Archer universes (some more interesting than others). Of course, major thematic changes are nothing new for the show as even a couple of the seasons that take place in the…
Letting go of someone you love is never easy. But sometimes you just know that, in spite of how painful it’s going to be for you (and maybe for the other person as well), it’s what’s best for both of you. “If you love something, set it free” might seem like a tired platitude, but…
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. Ok, the featured $0.99 movie this week is the latest cinematic incarnation of that “steal from the rich…

Ever wonder what life would be life if you could just do whatever you felt like doing with no regard for the consequences? If you just automatically gave in to your basic instincts and desires without censoring yourself or worrying about what everyone else will think? What if I told you there was a magic…
