Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Lookback Review

Such are the words spoken to Indy by Walter Donavon (Julian Glover) the antagonist in Spielberg’s third installment of the Indiana Jones franchise. It’s a fitting question for a series that has much to do with curses, myths, and the power of the supernatural. While not as gory as it’s predecessor and certainly not as well crafted as the original Indiana Jones, The Last Crusade is still classic Spielberg. Well, Spielberg by way of George Lucas technically....

Into The Badlands Season 2 Episode 6 Review Leopard Stalks In Snow

Into The Badlands Season 2 Episode 4 Ho ho ho! Merry non-denominational holiday! Season’s greetings from Into the Badlands. If I had to guess (which I like doing), I’d say maybe is this episode was produced with the expectation that it would air during the winter season? Not saying that the Christmas theme is strongly overt, but…come on. The climax takes place in a chintzy winter wonderland for crying out loud....

Is A New Star Trek Tv Series In Development

David Foster, a writer, producer and head of the production company 1947 Entertainment, has revealed that he’s planning a new series that is designed to take Star Trek back to its “original series roots.” He’s said the new show will take in all the usual Roddenberry trappings – Klingons, Vulcans and Ferengi, for example – but will feature a much younger cast. Foster’s series will take place after the Voyager series of a few years back, and won’t conflict with JJ Abrams’ big-screen take on the Star Trek mythos, since it’s set in a different timeline....

Knightfall Episode 2 Review Find Us The Grail

Knightfall Episode 2 Coming on the heels of its strong debut, Knightfall ratchets up the stakes with the introduction of several weighty subplots opening up an already tangled web that brings church and state into direct conflict with each other. “Find Us The Grail” gathers the Christian world’s heavy hitters in France amidst the search for the church’s most holy relic and the duplicitous maneuverings taking place within the palace. Nonetheless, at this point in the narrative, the competition between Catalonia and England to win the princess’s hand constitutes a more powerful story than even the search for the Grail....

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 12 Review The Curse Of The Earth Totem

Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 12 I feel like trying to diagram the plot to this week’s Legends of Tomorrowwould look like a football play. Normal network or network-ish shows will run an A plot and a B plot, the main story and a sub-tale that adds into the main show. Sometimes they’ll get bold and throw in a third storyline. Legends,perhaps sensing that they’ve built up a stack of goodwill with their viewers, decided to throw caution to the wind and go for a full five interweaving stories....

Lost Season 4 Episode 11 Review

Three seconds into this episode, when I saw a hand reach into shot and place a needle on a record, I knew this was going to make up for last week’s snore-fest. After last week’s episode appeared to tread water and tell a Jack story of little consequence, I’m starting to wonder if it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to placate the many viewers of Lost who simply aren’t interested in the sci-fi shamanic mysticism of the ongoing plot....

Luther Series 3 Episode 3 Review

Shows with a devoted fanbase like Luther often create the clichéd ‘water-cooler talk’ at work the next day, prompting feverish discussion. People might talk about how sinister the villain was, or the resolution of a tense face-off between criminal and copper. After this episode, I imagine discussion will be entirely focused on the murder of DS Justin Ripley. With the episode suffering an uneven opening forty minutes, the final third really kicks through the gears, racing toward an exhilarating and heart-breaking close....

Matador Series Premiere Review

Christened Matador, the show – yes, all of this is in one show – follows undercover DEA agent and east-LA native, Tony Bravo (played by Gabriel Luna) as he is recruited by the CIA to infiltrate the fictional L.A. Riot soccer team and get the scoop on its shady owner and telecom business mogul Andrés Galán (played by the venerable Alfred Molina). While his soccer skills are suspect, after about two minutes of cross-cutting accompanied by upbeat, inspirational music, Bravo goes from a flat-footed amateur to well-trained soccer machine in a span of time that seems like a lunch break....

Max Out The Max Headroom Computer Game Remembered

As a kid I loved Max Headroom and having many a conversation in the playground which went something like this I really did wish he was computer generated for two reasons. Firstly, obviously, it would have stopped me getting my arm punched, and secondly, I had a vivid imagination as a kid and would have loved to have had a computer that was that futuristic and could talk back to you....

Merlin Series 2 Episode 12 Review

In a far away part of England lies the ruined kingdom of Idirsholas, a haunted place that has been abandoned for nearly 300 years. However, the kingdom, it seems, is not as deserted as it once was as the evil sorceress/warrior woman Morgause has taken up residence there with the notion of performing a magical ritual, incanting seven dead warriors back to life. Clad in black robes and armour, these dead knights are, or rather were, the very best warriors Camelot had to offer....

Money Monster Review

Taking Network and Dog Day Afternoon as reference points, the new film by Jodie Foster uses a straightforward thriller format to examine the loss of trust between the powerful, the powerless and the media in recent times. It’s less mischievous about it than Adam McKay’s The Big Short, which sustained its articulate rage about the financial crisis to devastating comedic effect, but as the above line suggests, it’s also accordingly more multiplex-friendly in its satirical leanings....

Neighbours A Sober Reflection On Its Pop Music Legacy

In the beginning, there was Ramsay Street… In the UK in the mid-to-late 1980s, Neighbours was less a soap opera and more a live-action boast that was beamed into the nation’s homes five days a week. ‘Look at our happy country filled with beautiful people,’ it seemed to say to us. ‘Isn’t it better than your drizzly little post-industrial hellhole?’ The first rumblings of dissent were felt in the belly of the education system....

But I had a question. I knew I loved Paul. I knew I wanted to marry him and have a family with him, and I wasn’t sure why, and I wasn’t sure how it [marriage] works!...

No Ordinary Family Episode 17 Review No Ordinary Love

No Ordinary Love He also pointed out that I was wrong about the number of episodes, when I suggested there would be 20 in the season. He was right. There are supposed to be 22, but those devilish ABC execs cut the order to 20. So, entirely by accident, I was right all along. But in the spirit of ‘the glass is half full’ thinking, there are three more superhero-filled stories after this one to enjoy, for those that do....

If you read any of my recent reviews of this show, you’ll know that I’ve pretty much lost faith in No Ordinary Family, and the writers’ assertion that you can merge The Brady Bunch with the darker side of Heroes and make it work.No Ordinary Mobster continues that schizoid path, and for 95 per cent of its running time I needed a mild electric shock every thirty seconds to stay awake....

Obscure Ii Pc Review

The game blends survival horror game conventions with the American teen slasher movie genre, a premise that simultaneously rouses interest through the promise of something a little different, and dashes hope that of all the film genres they could have chosen they went for that one. Ugh. Still, to be fair the game’s grisly critters are slightly unusual in that as well as being all gross and fleshy, they’re gross and planty, which in some small way represents a break with tradition....

I can only imagine who thought this would be a great idea. “Hey, remember that killer child movie?” “Which killer child movie?” “Doesn’t matter! Let’s do it again, only this time let’s make it a girl!” There, the couple meet Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), a sweet, shy little 9-year-old girl with a talent for painting pictures and a penchant for dressing like a prissy princess. Of course, that’s not her only penchant, as Kate discovers....
