Star Trek: Lower Decks “Strange Energies” – Review

Off the bat, it is strange to jump straight into season 2 of Lower Decks when it really benefits to have that long wait after “No Small Parts“. The season ended with the death of Shaxs, Rutherford’s memories are gone, and a new…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “No Small Parts” – Review

Since my wifi was out this weekend and I decided to watch the first episode of Strange New Worlds again, I had one question. Why is it that the only good Star Trek comes from bolder and newer ideas? We haven’t had a wholly original…

Bullet Train (Film) Review

Bullet Train is a semi-recent action film from director and stunt coordinator David Leitch. Leitch’s past work includes films such as John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2. Originally released in August of 2022, the film is now available to stream on…

Star Trek Lower Decks “Crisis Point” – Review

Last week I got a new office chair because the previous one was old and a bit broken. Anyway, this new thing has adjustable armrests, which I never had on the old one because I ripped them off. They were fixed in…

The Menu (Film) Review

Continuing my catchup of 2022 films that were highly regarded, I decided the next picture would be Mark Mylod’s culinary thriller. The Menu was released in November 2022 and stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult. The Menu opens with our…

The Banshees of Inisherin (Film) Review

As January movie releases are usually quite slow, I’ve been taking a look back at some of the films that I wasn’t able to see from last year. Banshees of Inisherin is a film that I decided to watch on a whim…

Star Trek Lower Decks “Veritas” – Review

I love a courtroom episode of Star Trek. If you’ve followed these Thursday reviews for a while back to when it was Doctor Who-flavored, you may remember a mention of “Dax” in the reviews for “Nightmare in Silver” and “The Pyramid at the…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Much Ado About Boimler” – Review

You see, all I’m really looking for with Lower Decks is character and comedy, and “Much Ado About Boimler” gets that reasonably well. Written by M (or Emei) Willis, who previously wrote for She-ra and some stuff you’ve never heard of (or care for), we…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Terminal Provocations” Review

Ahh the episode with a small focus on my favorite group of terrorists, it must be former Survivor winner Cochran’s “Terminal Provocations.” If there is a bit of a dip in season 1 of Lower Decks, “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” and “Terminal Provocations” are where it…

Cold Prey (Film) Review

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for the film Cold Prey, reader discretion is advised. Even though it’s after the highs of Halloween, the winter season shouldn’t be an afterthought for horror. Sure, there’s a sort of post-pumpkin malaise that can’t help…
