It's been a long time coming in the realm of live-action Halo adaptations. After the incredible Landfall short film, series creators at Bungie cranked out a fair number of live-action promos for the games, but Microsoft's flagship series ne...
Junji Ito is a very weird and gross dude. The manga artist is a horror icon whose recently translated collection just won an Eisner Award. He has an instantly recognizable style with an ability to create horrifically surreal imagery that wo...
Disney has to be feeling pretty good about their upcoming streaming service after Marvel's bash of news at San Diego Comic Con. Joining other series like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision sounds as if it will continue toe stori...

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law may be the best show that Adult Swim has ever put out. It was witty, sharp, and ruined every memory I had of Hannah-Barbera cartoons from my youth. It was nearly perfect. While the one-off special from late l...
[Update: Disney has announced that annual subscriptions to Disney+ will be $69.99 with a $6.99 monthly option available. There still isn't word on the all-in-one package, but it likely won't be much more expensive. The service will launch o...
NOS4A2 is AMC's turn at the vampire game. It's an adaptation of the phenomenal 2013 novel by Joe Hill. While the antagonist, Charlie Manx, isn't a vampire in the traditional Twilight sense, or even the more staunchly traditional ...
Sylvester Stallone's name is attached to not one, but two wildly successful, popular, and uneven series in the two R's: Rambo and Rocky. The development course of each series has been erratic and encouraging all at the same time, with...
Russian Doll presents a tricky proposition for review. The series is loaded with themes, symbolism and constant mind games, but a lot of the enjoyment hinges on the mystery of it all. Even explaining simple details from the second or third ...

Welcome back! After last week’s pilot, I’m really glad to say that the BBC adaptation of Les Misérables is soaring. Thanks to the enduring patience of Flixist’s US writers, who have given me free reign to cover wh...
When I was a kid, I had a Nintendo Entertainment System. I played so many games and wasted so many breaths on corroded cartridges it's since become a nostalgic memory that makes this cartoon hilarious: Art by Jake Likes Onions
The most unfortunate thing about David Spade's career is he's probably most known as that guy who shows up in all the Adam Sandler movies. That in itself is not a bad thing, Sandler has had some banger movies, but it discounts how prolific ...
There's no denying the greatness of Alan Moore's Watchmen. The 1987 story took a dark look at the superhero realm, filled it with riotous prerogatives and semi-retired heroes forced into a choice of underground vigilante or common civilian ...
Netflix hosted Friday’s final event on the main stage of the 2018 New York City Comic Con. It was appropriate titled, Netflix and Chills. But as the host was quick to point out -- this was the seasonally appropriate kind of Netflix &a...
All of the new seasons of Netflix's Marvel shows have just crept up on me from out of nowhere. I had no idea Luke Cage (Season Two) even aired and now we're already talking about Iron Fist (Season Two) and how it has improved on the first s...
For the past few years, I’ve grown tired of how Netflix has been conducting its shows. While it is nice to have an entire season available at once, the writing that goes into Netflix’s original series tends to be so sloppy that ...
National Geographic is putting out a documentary show, in which famed thespian Jeff Goldblum learns the complex nature of seemingly ordinary things in our every day life. This is a show that none of us said we needed out loud, yet all of ou...
Locke and Key is one of the darlings of the comic horror scene, for as long as I have been into comics people have always suggested that I read it because it's so well written. Unfortunately, I am poor and can't afford every book and my lib...
Revivals of a classic TV show isn’t exactly a new thing, but the concept has been kicked into overdrive lately. I can’t imagine anyone was clamoring for a Hawaii Five-0 or Knight Rider reboot, but here we are with both existing....
An adaptation of the 2013 graphic novel by Charles Forsman, The End of the F**king World is an early 2018 drop for Netflix aimed to cash in on the troubled teen variety of television series' success. Maybe it's done in a slightly diffe...
After some speculation and early announcements, HBO has officially greenlit a third season of True Detective. The new season will be set in the Ozarks and star Mahershala Ali, who won an Academy Award for his supporting role in Moonlight. A...
Black Mirror's move to Netflix for its third season (or third series, as they say in the UK) didn't diminish the show's quality. Charlie Brooker showed off some of his best Twilight Zone-esque dystopian stories, including high points like t...
Judging from the first trailer and the San Diego Comic Con trailer, The Inhumans might be a bona fide disaster. Excuse me, a bona fide disaster shot in IMAX. A bigger screen won't fix bland, and this looks like the second Marvel series that...
Your nostalgia has just crane kicked you in the face. A 10-episode half-hour sequel series to The Karate Kid is coming to YouTube Red, starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. There was reportedly a bidding war for the series between vario...
If you're a person of a certain age (i.e., you're old), you probably have some fond memories of Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? There were the computer games in the 80s and 90s, which spun off into a children's game show and an anima...
Frank Darabont's 2007 adaptation of The Mist played out like a long, taut episode of The Twilight Zone. The movie offered one hell of a downbeat final scene--maybe mockingly downbeat--that differed drastically from the closing notes of the ...
Iron Fist is such a tremendous failure on so many levels that it's fascinating to dissect. It's not fascinating to watch, however. The latest Marvel series on Netflix is a 13-hour bore that's 15% martial arts show and 85% boardroom drama. T...
The animated Netflix Castlevania series was announced yesterday, although it was buried in a press release. Producer Adi Shankar, who teased the series back in 2015 on Facebook, took to social media again to share some small, additional det...
Netflix is making a series based on Castlevania, which will debut later this year. The first season of the series has been written by comics scribe Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Iron Man, Planetary). According to Polygon, this infor...
With its upcoming adaptation of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Netflix hopes to wash the taste of that mediocre Jim Carrey movie out of the mouths of fans once and for all. Now, we've gotten our first official peek at the ...
What happens when two Flixist writers who have seen only bits and pieces (or none at all) of a franchise have nothing better to do? Obviously, they team up to watch the entire franchise and write articles about it! And that's exactly what M...
The Film Society of Lincoln Center is doing a weekend-long retrospective of the films of Pam Grier from March 15th through March 17th. Grier is best known for her work in blaxploitation/exploitation classics like Foxy Brown, The Big Bird Ca...
