New Japan Pro Wrestling Finds The Spotlight

AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura. These two will likely next face off on American soil. WWE wrestlers have had stints in NJPW organization over the decades since its 1972 inception, including current roster members Brock Lesnar, the Dudley Boyz, and Xavier Woods. WWE also inducted NJPW’s founder—the legendary Antonio Inoki—into its Hall of Fame in 2010 (you may have caught Inoki’s name in the news recently in connection with his 1976 wrestler versus boxer match against Muhammed Ali)....

Oliver Stone S W Trailer Review

It’s equally unsurprising that the second trailer for W. opts for wicked satirical humour to catch your attention, such is the President’s rich repository of comedic gaffes and howlers. When asked by a reporter, “Mr President, what place do you think you’ll have in history”, Bush, played expertly here by former Goonie Josh Brolin, replies “In history? In history we’ll all be dead”. Accompanied by a grunted guffaw, Brolin’s impersonation of Bush is absolutely spot on and very, very funny....

Olympus Has Fallen Review

We’re not talking a few guys with machine guns, either; we’re talking strafing fire from the air, suicide bombers, machine guns, mobile weapons platforms, and a crazy amount of violence. There are seemingly hundreds of people that get mowed down on both sides. The President and his senior staff are trapped in the bunker with the mastermind Kang (Rick Yune), and on the outside there’s only one man on the ground: Mike Banning....

Outcast The Damage Done Review

Outcast Episode 7 Sooner or later the citizens of Rome, West Virginia must face the insidious evil army that’s forming within its confines and tonight’s episode of Outcast ramps up the timetable considerably. As families teeter on the edge of disaster, writer Nathaniel Halpern forces the characters’ hands in “The Damage Done,” compelling them to ignore the consequences and attempt to counteract the darkness that hovers over their lives. Nevertheless, Anderson continues to flounder and is in danger of losing his religious family, until Kyle steps in to save him from his Remembrance Day meltdown and reaffirms that they’re together in this battle....

Outlander The Wedding Review

My poor choices aside, my reaction to the episode was probably the same reaction as fans the world over: Finally! The simmering tension between Jamie and Claire came to a head (ha, terrible accidental pun) when they married to save her from being called again before Black Jack Randall. From a plot standpoint, not much occurred this episode. From an emotional standpoint, EVERYTHING happened. While Jamie lost his virginity and the men caroused downstairs, something much more important to the Outlander story was happening: Jamie and Claire forged a connection....

Outlander Season 3 Episode 6 Review A Malcolm

Outlander Season 3 Episode 6 Time is an unpredictable thing. Sometimes, it steals things from you that you can’t get back — emotions of a younger self your older self can no longer feel. Other times, it respects the most precious things you have, the feelings that have come to define you, and lets them endure. In coming back through the stones, Claire was not just taking a risk that she would even be able to find Jamie; she was taking a risk that, if she did find Jamie, he would still love her....

Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 4 Review Making Waves

Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 4 I really shouldn’t be so over the moon about this episode. It’s a pretty basic story about two characters trying to keep their parents from dating. In any other show this would be a fairly average episode but for Power Rangers these days it’s a triumph. Characters acting like real genuine people for two weeks in a row?! WHAT?! Yeah, Sarah and Hayley trying to keep their parents apart was not only something that felt like it would happen in the real world but also you can genuinely feel the actors having fun with it....

Primeval New World Episode 4 Review Angry Birds

1.4 Angry Birds Angry Birds opens with the longest and most satisfying pre-credits set-up yet. We get an inventive first-person – or should I say first-creature – shot of something leaving the prehistoric forests of old through an anomaly and into a train yard, complete with an effect that should represent an animal’s way of viewing the world but could be seen as a really bad 3D effect. Luckily, the idea is put across well....

Psych The Break Up Review

The final murder is more or less just a way to get the story going and is really present just to have the gang on their last hurrah as detectives. The story surrounds a real estate developer who just happens to be played by the oft-mentioned Billy Zane. The vet actor chews the scenery as the evil developer and it all ends in an excellent car chase with Shawn and Gus getting away in a driver’s ed car....

Rectify Donald The Normal Review

While it must be said that season two is decidedly more generic in its format and less poetically inclined than the show’s first season, “Donald the Normal” does at least reconnect with some of the central themes laid out in Daniel’s first seven days of freedom. In fact, the mere presence of Daniel as a driving force in the plot breaths life back into a show that was beginning to flounder as it compensated his absence with the barely interesting lives of various secondary characters....

Rick And Morty Season 3 Episode 4 Review Vindicators 3 The Return Of Worldender

3.4 Vindicators 3 – The Return Of Worldender However, season three chose to capitalise on the conflict that there is no real conflict by having Rick destroy the Galactic Federation and the Citadel of Ricks in one fell swoop. There’s truly next to nothing out there to antagonise Rick now, so the antagonist has become, more starkly than ever before, Rick himself. Vindicators 3 – The Return Of Worldender is a true expression of this concept....

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 22 Review Brave New World

2.22 Brave New World Is my hatred of Hiram Lodge impinging on my thoughts on Riverdale as a whole? It’s a question that I’ve been grappling with for weeks and for good reason. As the season’s primary antagonist, his ill-defined plans for the Southside and low-rent gangster schtick have been a thorn in viewers’ sides since Mark Consuelos debuted the character back in October. (With the actor’s sometimes stilted line delivery not doing anyone any favours either)....

Santa Clarita Diet Review Spoiler Free

When Santa Clarita Diet first opens its doors, you may initially be eyeing the exit. Gags about suburbia, married life, and the perfect American family are hardly new or exciting territory at this point. You might even wonder why this show is airing on Netflix’s risk-taking platform in the first place. But then the murdering starts happening and the show takes off its gentle comedy sheep suit and reveals itself for the supernatural horror comedy wolf that it truly is....

Poor Emma. As things continue to go awry regardless of Emma’s good intentions, her friends are desperate to right some of their own wrongs. For some, it’s a conscience thing, but for others, there’s a lot more at stake....

Sherlock Series 2 Episode 1 A Scandal In Belgravia Review

Sod the law of diminishing returns, A Scandal in Belgravia proves that the more Sherlock we’re given, the better it gets. The first of three new ninety minute stories, tonight’s episode was a show of staggering and justifiable confidence from the show’s creators – Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss – a poised concoction of sauciness, comedy, brains and pathos wrapped up in a spectacularly good coat. The ringtone interruption was such a cheeky way out of Holmes and Watson’s predicament it must have had Steven Moffat giggling like a schoolgirl at the keyboard over his own audacity....

Skins Series 5 Episode 2 Review

Our long haired hero has only one direction in life, the path of true metal! Although no self-respecting metalhead should ever wear a Trivium t-shirt like he did in the first episode. If it ain’t loud and angry, then Richard doesn’t want to know. He’s so hardcore, he wakes up to Bodies by Drowning Pool every morning before he goes through his brutal routine of moisturising. It’s not easy being such a rebel in the suburbs y’know....

Imagine you’re an extra-terrestrial. Your kind has created ships that can cross the vast oceans of space, that are advanced enough to repair themselves even after suffering catastrophic damage. You have all this technology, and yet for some reason you use it to collect human brains. Now imagine you’re the brothers Strause. Your reputation has taken a bit of a kicking after the debacle that was Aliens Vs Predator – Requiem, a film that succeeded in sullying two much-loved franchises at the same time, and enraged an entire planet’s worth of film-obsessed geeks....

Sons Of Anarchy Season 7 Episode 7 Review Greensleeves

7.7 Greensleeves When an episode of television ends with a major character losing his eye, it seems strange to still be lobbing accusations of nothing happening. But part of me is seriously wondering if this final season is actually one big joke Kurt Sutter is playing on the fans. That’s not to say that it’s actively bad television. Greensleeves was filled with nice character moments and set up for future developments....

Stalker Phobia Review

Stalker is always such a frenetic mix of crazy that it’s particularly exciting when an episode has such a strong approach right from the start. The concept of a stalker preying on people using their personal fears as his weapon has a lot of potential as the victimizer heightens himself from some run of the mill creep to a Pennywise-esque deranged antagonist. This is actually executed with some precision as well, as Kristin, who’s afraid of the dark, doesn’t just find herself in a darkened home, but the assailant has also rearranged her furniture, further disorienting her and messing with her confidence....
