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…
I usually don’t watch the “Inside the Episode” segments that Hulu produces for each installment of The Handmaid’s Tale, but I’ll admit that the final scene of “God Bless the Child” confused me a little (more on that later), and I wanted to see if the creative minds behind it could provide some insight. They…
Human proclivity for storytelling combined with speculation has always been a means by which we attempt to understand the world. And, in that sense, science fiction shares a psychological lineage with ancient mythology. Regardless of the deep underlying truths, regardless of the universal and reoccurring cross-cultural themes, the outer layers of what is of substance…
History is filled with evil men who have tried to justify the atrocities they commit by claiming, and sometimes even sincerely believing, that the suffering they cause is necessary to bring about positive change. While some autocrats and tyrants are simply men who thirst for power and nothing more, there have always been those willing…
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 2: “Mary and Martha” Ask anyone in Gilead (at least the ones who are there of their own free will and who subscribe to its worldview) about the things God values most, and the word “family” will probably come up more often than not. They would tell you that…
Now this looks like a month of summer movies. We have sequels, remakes and reboots represented on the list. June movies take on comic books, sci fi, horror and everything in between. If franchise films aren’t your cup of tea, then maybe this isn’t your month. But count me in! Here’s our June movie preview….
