I will be very honest and say I only decided to review Mermaid's Song because it meant I could see it for free. I had no prior knowledge of this movie before Tuesday, but you never turn down free. Unfortunately, I forgot there tru...
Citizens rejoice! October is right around the corner and that means a slew of cheesy horror movies coming out that cost about 4 nickels and a button to make. That's not to say they can't be good, but its definitely a "throw it on a wall an...
Adventure Time ran for 9 years, 10 seasons and one Minecraft themed special. As nicest of guys Jonathan Holmes wrote, it influenced a whole heck of a lot of similar, brightly colored, emotionally complex shows in the coming years, subs...
The longer a show goes on the more I'm inclined to hate it for a very dumb reason. No it's not because the original writers all left or the premise has completely changed á la Urkel killing the Winslow family. No, I hate how you can ...
Rarely do I get excited about a film because of the people in it, especially one's "Based on a True Story" I've never heard of. One reason I go to the movies is to forget these people are actors and get engrossed by their performances. But ...
James Cameron's 9-year-old film and franchise-to-be Avatar received a nice shot of adrenaline last year when Disney opened a Pandora-themed section to its Animal Kingdom in Orlando. It's an innovative take on adapting a movie to a theme par...
Disney and Netflix are the undeniable behemoths in entertainment. The billions of dollars each company is worth in their media properties alone is hard to visualize the number is so big, and they keep growing bigger. Disney is eating other ...
Former biggest star in the world Jim Carrey's Twitter account is a goldmine. Basically a Canadian Jaden Smith, it's a mixture of vague truisms, philosophical contemplation and some intense artwork. The solid Jim & Andy: The Great B...
TV is starting to freak me out a little with the sheer number of shows being made these days. This year alone, 520 original idea shows will be broadcast on all sorts of channels, services, and apps, making it hard to watch even 1% of what's...
Mission Impossible: Fallout, an incredible movie that performed incredibly well this weekend, could have done even better this week if MoviePass had their act together. Sadly, this was not the case, as the one-movie-a-day subscription prog...
Animated DC movies, officially called DC Universe Animated Original Movies (that's dumb), are DC's hidden gems. Each direct-to-DVD release is less than 90 minutes, rakes in around $5 million in sales, and retells classic DC comic...
I think it's safe to say Iron Fist in terms of quality is near or at the bottom the list of Marvel's live action productions, but in this topsy-turvy world, Iron Fist gets a second season because Peak TV or something. Screenshots for said s...
One of my most vivid memories as a 6-year-old was watching an episode of the oft-overlooked The New Batman Adventures. Titlled “Over the Edge,” a supremely scary looking Scarecrow smacks Batgirl off a skyscraper, causing her t...
The creation of Eighth Grade puzzled me when I saw the first trailer. It’s a comedy about a socially awkward 13-year-old girl named Kayla (Elsie Fisher) trying to survive her last week of middle school written and directed by comedian...
Long ago when I first learned about fan backlash, I laughed it off. Why would a successful director or actor care about what some internet comment said about them? However, after seeing the amount, severity and seemingly endless harassment ...
Entertainment giant Netflix is continuing their bold ambition to produce half a billion shows this fiscal year with the announcement of Wu Assassins. In what sounds like an exact retelling of Jackie Chan Adventures, the action crime fantasy...
Stop-motion filmmaking is notoriously time-consuming. Splicing thousands of slightly different photos together seems like a convoluted way to make a motion picture. And it is, but boy is it worth it, especially when the pros at Laika are in...
The recent Roseanne revival went from ABC’s dream show to its nightmare in just a few tweets. Even rivaling juggernaut The Big Bang Theory as most popular comedy on television, ABC found a huge hit despite middling reception and som...
You can bet that even a mildly successful horror film will spawn a glut of sequels. Even when all 9 of those sequels and reboots fail to live up to the original, another sequel always seems in the pipelines. It’s been 4 decades si...
National Lampoon’s success has been a roller coaster of dizzying highs and cratering lows. Currently (and for the past couple decades), the moniker is at a low point, having been bounced around to different companies who did nothing b...
