Fear Is Back, And Still Meh.

Last night, the Pacific-waters and Mexican-desert flavored spin-off of The Walking Dead — Fear the Walking Dead — returned from a mid-season break. Despite building on a strengthening storyline which had nowhere to go but up, and a slight increase… Continue Reading →

New Trek Takes Us Well Beyond the Previous Sequel

This summer is just littered with gifts of good geeky movies rising above the cynicism and low expectations. Star Trek Beyond is the latest to do just that. It’s not perfect, of course, but it certainly tops the prior installment’s… Continue Reading →

Everything the Critics Hate About IDR Is a Reason I Like It (So There!)

There’s no nice way to say this. The critics have been dicks about Independence Day: Resurgence.

Inheriting Wayne Manor

He’s the teen actor who has been knocking our socks off as a young, brooding Bruce Wayne in Gotham. You’ll also recall his deep-thinking series-TV debut as Jake, in Touch. His name is David Mazouz (pronounced “Dah-veed”), and if the insight… Continue Reading →
