Eureka “Alienated” – Review

I knew the government was full of aliens, and (depending on who you are) pirating movies before they are released is OK as long as you’re funded by the DOD. Directed by Marita Grabiak, there is a reason Grabiak is best known…

Eureka “Before I Forget” – Review

If we’re fair, Eureka has never had fantastic direction, and Michael Robison is no exception. Directing 11 episodes of Eureka, as well as 1 episode of XIII: The Series, Robison’s latest work is mostly Hallmark Channel flicks. The story for this episode…

Captain America: Brave New World Review

When Captain America: Brave New World was announced, I was rather excited. Having Anthony Mackie’s Sam take the mantle of Captain America following the events of Avengers: Endgame and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, seemed like the logical next step. As the…

Love Hurts (Movie) Review

Valentine’s Day, like many other holidays, always brings about a lot of interesting films. While there aren’t a lot of traditional love stories that popped up, there is one that I found attractive called Love Hurts. Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose…

Eureka “Many Happy Returns” – Review

That’s a walking red flag, and I’m sticking by that no matter what. Directed by Jefery Levy, “Many Happy Returns” is the first of his two outings as director; the second being in episode 7, “Blink.” Written by show creators Cosby and…

Companion (Movie) Review

When the first teaser trailer for Companion dropped, I was intrigued and disturbed by the direction that it seemed to be taking. Is witchcraft at play here? Is it a cult-like situation? What could compel someone to stay still while their hand…

The quote at the start of EUReKA (as it is stylized) goes thusly, “A little Knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” For Colin Ferguson’s Sheriff Carter, that’s pretty true. Directed by Peter O’Fallon, it is difficult to say O’Fallon…

Lower Decks “The New Next Generation” – Review

I was wrong about Ma’ah’s story wrapping up in “A Farewell to Farms,” and for what it is (so far), “The New Next Generation” was the perfect ending to Lower Decks. Written by Mike McMahan, everyone’s top 2 candidate for a McMahan/McMahon,…

Lower Decks “Fissure Quest” – Review

The scream I scrumpt for the gays was so long and high pitched I’m sure even the Colonel would get the all-dog alert. Written by executive story editor and writer of Bless the Harts (a King of the Hill-wannabe), Lauren McGuire writes…

Doctor Who “Joy to the World” – Review

For some reason, I thought Joel Fry had already been in an episode of Doctor Who. Now I’m right. Directed by Alex Pillai, Pillai is probably best known for that Sabrina everyone was talking about, and I’m not talking about Melissa Joan…
