Alternate Cover Crossovers Good And Bad

Even so, some Crossovers can be looked back upon fondly, given the test of time. Here I pick the best crossovers Marvel and DC ever did (and mention some of the ones we wish they hadn’t done.) While it’s hard to fully appreciate this crossover if you’re not deeply interested in the X-Men and the hundreds of mutant characters that exist in the Marvel Universe, those that DO understand it are free to appreciate the sheer intricate majesty of it all....

American Horror Story Cult Episode 11 Review Great Again

7.11 Great Again There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a happy ending on a television series. Every season of American Horror Story has ended more or less happily, usually with the most put-upon character of the show rising to triumph. Given that Cult has been a season about politics and victimhood, it makes total sense that the happy triumph is a successful Senate campaign for someone not named Kai Anderson and that the someone jumping into the political game is the impressively woke Ally Mayfair-Richards....

American Horror Story Hotel Be Our Guest Review

American Horror Story: Season 5, Episode 12 The one thing I didn’t expect from the last episode of Hotel was a happy ending. After the death of the Countess last week I expected the finale to be a showdown between the Lowes and Sally with Liz and Iris caught in the middle. Instead Sally was too busy with her Instagram and Twitter accounts to even remember that she wanted John Lowe dead....

American Horror Story Hotel She Gets Revenge Review

American Horror Story: Season 5, Episode 10 Liz Taylor has easily been the best thing about American Horror Story this season, and tonight was no exception. Sure, I’ve repeatedly brought up how delightful Evan Peters performance as James March is but that’s really just a fun display of manic scenery chewing that lacks any real depth or substance. Liz Taylor on the other hand is probably American Horror Story‘s most sympathetic character and also its most three dimensional....

American Horror Story Episode 1 Review Pilot

1.1 Pilot These days, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are best known as the creators behind the megahit, megaobnoxious Fox singalong sitcom Glee. But once upon a time they were also known for making some great, sick, and twisted television. For example, did you know the guys who did Glee first made their bones by making Nip/Tuck? That’s right, once upon a time, Murphy and Falchuck did interesting, adult TV, rather than teenage crap for musical nerds....

American Horror Story Freak Show Episode 11 Review Magical Thinking

4.11 Magical Thinking This hasn’t been American Horror Story‘s strongest season. I’m a defender of the show; even when it’s not making a lot of sense, or not the gripping spectacle it was in Asylum, I’m always on the side of its sense of fun and visual panache. Perhaps I’m just a sideshow rube, a mark taken in by the American Horror Story three-card Monte of weird sex, graphic gore, and hammy acting....

American Made Review

Cruise’s second collaboration with director Doug Liman (they previously brought us the unexpectedly great sci-fi action film, Edge Of Tomorrow), American Made requires quite a bit more from the Hollywood stars than just winning smiles and stunts – though the movie does deliver plenty of those too. Cruise plays Barry Seal, a former TWA commercial pilot who, at the behest of an enigmatic guy with a beard who calls himself Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson) winds up flying planes for the CIA....

An American Werewolf In London Blu Ray Review

A horror/comedy that combines the best of both without being trite, cliché or corny, Werewolf is a film that has endured, thanks to a superb fast-paced script, terrific pacing, and special effects (especially the transformation scene) that after nearly 25 years still stand the test of time. It is still the film that all other werewolf movies are compared to. The Disc While it is a film I have seen many times, watching Werewolf in high-def is a very welcome experience....

Anne Corlett On Writing The Space Between The Stars

The Space Between the Stars is one of my favorite books of the summer. One part post-apocalyptic found family adventure, one part thoughtful exporation of trauma and grief, The Space Between the Stars is a refreshingly intimate and hopeful spin on the end-of-the-world narrative. How did the idea for The Space Between the Stars begin? Did it start with the science fiction elements or Jamie’s journey? Or are the two indistinguishable?...

Arrow Code Of Silence Review

Arrow Season 4, Episode 14 After weeks avoiding the Damien Darhk storyline, Arrowreturned to the season’s big bad in “Code of Silence.” There was a lot to like about this episode. (James Bamford’s inventive direction. Felicity wearing a STAR Labs shirt. A Slade-Wilson-as-party-planner joke.) Unfortunately, some of it was overshadowed by Arrow trying to cram one not-so-convincing theme down our throats: “Sometimes a lie isn’t wrong if it’s for the good of someone you love....

Arrow The Promise Review

After last week’s terrific reveal of Slade Wilson at the Queen home, we pick up right where we left off. Ah, but there won’t be any costumed superheroics in this episode. How is this possible? How can what I just called potentially the best of all Arrow episodes not have any of the elements that have elevated this season beyond its occasionally tedious CW adventure soap roots into the pantheon of great superhero television?...

Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 3 Episode 10 Review The Mettle Of Man

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 3 Episode 10 I’ve got a theory. I think the cast and crew of Ash vs Evil Dead knew this would be its final season going into it. At least, that’s the impression I got when I interviewed a few of them. They made specific mentions to its ending would be emotional and game-changing. And Campbell himself didn’t have much to say about whether or not the series would still be on the air for Evil Dead’s upcoming 40th anniversary year....

Atlanta Season 2 Episode 11 Review Crabs In A Barrel

Atlanta: Season 2 Episode 11 Atlanta Robbin’ Season started out with a low-key episode mostly about Earn’s Uncle Willie. So it’s fitting that the season ends with another low-key episode and, though Uncle Willie doesn’t appear, he’s central to the plot. “Crabs in a Barrel” is actually about character interactions between Earn and the people in his life. It almost feels like three separate vignettes, tied together by the impending trip to Europe....

Atlantis Episode 9 Review Pandora S Box

1.9 Pandora’s Box Remember when Medusa didn’t want to speak to Hercules because of the whole love potion incident, and was only just beginning to warm to him after these events? Well, it appears Atlantis’ writers don’t. As ever, let’s start with a recap of the action: tonight’s episode began with Hercules snatching Medusa away to his bed, before he was bashed about the head and kidnapped. A task was issued by an old associate and off he went to recover Pandora’s Box from Hades....

Baby Driver Review

Still, if Wright’s brush with Marvel took the wind out of his sails, there’s no sign of it in Baby Driver – his frenetic homage to the crime thrillers of the 70s and 80s. In essence, it’s The Driver mixed with the fizzy, amped-up tone of Wright’s adaptation of Scott Pilgrim. Or, to put it another way, it’s a kind of action musical: La La Land with a V8 engine and shotguns....

Ballmastrz 9009 Episode 9 Review Chaste Wing Of The Cold Turkey Vs Flaming Fist Of Indulgence

Ballmastrz: 9009 Episode 9 “This is going to be rich. A fat-ass getting trained by a fat-head.” People want to believe that they’re the best version of themselves. In actuality, people are not the best version of themselves, but it’s much easier to hide behind that fallacy than to confront your faults. It’s even more difficult to accurately assess your weaknesses when you’re in an echo chamber that only reinforces what you want to hear....

Banshee Season 3 Episode 7 Review You Can T Hide From The Dead

3.7 You Can’t Hide From The Dead It didn’t hurt that the rest of the episode wasn’t too shabby either. Aside from one badass fight scene (which I’ll get to in a moment), the episode did a nice job of consolidating and furthering the lingering conflicts and threads that have run throughout the season. It seems as though Proctor may be inching toward something of a redemption arc, between the death of his mother and the gentle influence of Emily Lotus....

Battle Of The Sexes Review

There’s always a risk in any kind of sports film that it will only be of interest to fans of the sport, but that shouldn’t be the case here. It is assumed that viewers are familiar with the basic rules of tennis – the significance of King and Riggs’ match being played to five sets is not explained in detail – but the film does a good job of contextualising the match for viewers unfamiliar with the story, providing plenty of background on the struggle for equal prize money in women’s tennis and the difficult process of establishing the women’s tour....

2.1 Turn This Mother Out For Aidan, this manifests itself as the flip side of his freedom from Bishop. We learn quickly that Aidan’s heretic lifestyle is not working for the larger Boston vampire population: the illegal army that Bishop created is going hungry, depending on Aidan to provide non-lethally obtained blood. To make matters worse, Boston is anticipating the arrival of Mother, a vampire who has precedence even over the council....
