LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 8 Review

The finale episode of Rings of Power hopes to resolve many of the current plot threads. This episode is suitably titled, “Alloyed.” The story turns once again to Nori and her Harfoot friends as they track the Stranger, while he is hunted…

Army of the Dead (Film) Review

It’s October! I, like many others, enjoy getting in the Halloween spirit by watching some films that coincide with the horror aesthetic of the holiday. This year I started off my fright film fest with a relatively new film, Zack Snyder’s Army…

Doctor Who “Kerblam!” – Review

Amazon. Space Amazon but Amazon nonetheless, that’s what Kerblam is, if you somehow didn’t get that from the almost Fallout-like on-the-nose metaphors. The truth is, “Kerblam!” is the type of over-the-top Russell T Davies-style nonsense Doctor Who that I wanted from Jodie’s run in the…

LOTR: Rings of Power Episode 7- Review

This week, Rings of Power continues its downward spiral into self-destruction. Episode 7 is titled “The Eye” and focuses on the aftermath of the eruption of Mount Doom at the end of episode 6. The Numenorians and Southlanders try to get survivors…

Doctor Who “Demons Of The Punjab” – Review

Imperialism: to conquer, spread your upper-class’ idea of civilization, generate hatred for yourself, and eventually, divide so you can cause as much harm as humanly possible by fueling sectarian hatred and violence. I never said once that “Demons of the Punjab” was…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 6 Review

Episode 6 marks a climatic turning point for Rings of Power season one. This episode is titled “Udun” and focuses entirely on the Southlands. Bronwyn, her son Theo, and Arondir try desperately to defend against the might of Adar’s orc forces while…

Doctor Who “The Tsuranga Conundrum” – Review

Believe it or not, it is still not the worst-named episode of the series. That has to go to Chris’ next episode, the final episode, “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.” Much like the battle of bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, this episode also lacks what…

Tekken: Bloodline Review

The Tekken franchise has always had a special place in my heart. Even though I had just briefly played the original, my experience with it truly started with the universally-loved Tekken 3. I’ve never become so quickly enamored by a game as…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 5 Review

Rings of Power episode five was the episode in which I lost all hope for the future of this series. This episode is titled “Partings” and begins with Nori and the Harfoots as they encounter new dangers on their migration. The Numenorians…

Doctor Who “Arachnids in the UK” – Review

Was Spiders In Sheffield too on the nose, Chibnall? If there is one episode that is annoying to look back on from this series, it is the one with Chris Noth, particularly for what was revealed of him last year but also…
