Thunderbolts* (Movie) Review
At this point, many of my friends with whom I watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe films have bailed out. A few are willing to hang in there with me, but I have often been the only one willing to believe in the…

Doctor Who “The Well” – Review
Well, in another life we did indeed say “The Midnight sky’s the road I’m takin’,” but that’s enough about an episode with Merlin in it. Written by Russell T Davies, and importantly, there is a use of an ampersand between him &…
Doctor Who “Lux” – Review
Oh my, King James suddenly got a lot less gay and became a lot more colorful. Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, it certainly is something of his that I can tell he’s had bubbling for a while. As Australian writer and…
Doctor Who “The Robot Revolution” – Review
The Doctor and a woman of color who works in a hospital? That’ll never work! Written by showrunner Russell T. Davies, you might have heard of him for doing some work on ChuckleVision, Children’s Ward, Coronation Street: Viva Las Vegas!, The Second…
Eureka “Once in a Lifetime” – Review
I mean, it isn’t: Jack is waking up to strange new worlds all the time. This episode is directed by Michael Lange, who is best known for far too many episodes of something called Greek. I don’t want to be disparaging, but…

Doctor Who will start two weeks from now. I’m a bit busy dealing with AI house problems right now. Directed by Jeff Woolnough and written by Harry Victor, the two last worked on “Dr. Nobel” earlier in the season, and this is…
Death of a Unicorn (Movie) Review
A24 has been a stamp of quality small-budget films for quite a long time. Everything from Ex Machina to Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, they are constantly releasing fascinating stories. In fact, I often find that the more ridiculous a title…
Eureka “Purple Haze” – Review
I know it’s meant to be a reference to Prince or something, but can we just rename it Pink and Lacy? The third of Johanna Stokes’ five writing credits, she’s listed as working on the teleplay for this one, while show creators…
Eureka “Primal” – Review
A little bit of family drama here, and a bit of cribbing from Doctor Who there. Directed by Colin Bucksey, I’m beyond surprised that I get to say the next few things in order. Bucksey is probably best known for four episodes…
Black Bag (Movie) Review
It has been quite a while since I have seen a great spy film. The last one that I can recall was Daniel Craig’s curtain call for his version of James Bond with No Time To Die. Due to this, I was…
