Star Trek: Picard “Fly Me to the Moon” – Review

Let me play among the stars… In fact, after the details over the last few years, it is best not to. Directed by some vigorous young man looking to break into this Star Trek business, Jonathan Frakes helms the chair for these…

Star Trek: Picard “Watcher” – Review

Oh, that Lea Thompson, that’s who directed “Assimilation” and “Watcher,” I’ve got it now. Why not just phone Robert Zemeckis and give him all the hookers, blow, and money he wants if you want a Back to the Future reference in production…

Star Trek: Picard “Assimilation” – Review

Ahh, Marty it’s been two months since I wrote about Picard, it feels weird to be back in this authoritarian future. I hope they have Jaws 20 by now. Written by season 2 staff writers, Christopher B Derrick and Kiley Rossetter, “Assimilation”…

Godzilla: Minus One (Movie) Review

Now I’m a bit late to the party on this one – Godzilla Minus One originally hit theaters in 2023. Unfortunately, I missed the theatrical release, but the film has recently launched on Netflix. I’ve always enjoyed Kaiju films: It’s insane to…

Star Trek: Picard “Penance” – Review

I spoke too soon, we don’t get rid of him just yet. Once again directed by Doug Aarniokoski with Matthew Okumura editing, and staff writers Christopher B. Derrick, Juliana James, and Kiley Rossetter returning. The teleplay is written by the returning Akiva…

Star Trek: Picard “The Star Gazer” – Review

Lovely, from one obscenely depressing and not very fun season of Picard to another – this time with Q and the Borg. I don’t have time to play about today, “Nepenthe” director Douglas Aarniokoski returns with writing credits going to Akiva Goldsman…

Doctor Who “Empire of Death” – Review

Warning: The following article will touch upon spoilers from throughout series 14 of Doctor Who, though spoilers for “Empire of Death” will be limited. It would be reductive to say that “Empire of Death” was another standard Russell finale, but all the…

Doctor Who “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” – Review

Russell, you need to calm down, that’s just a Borg and that other one is just a Drow. Directed by a Doctor Who alum, we’ve got a return of Mark Tonderai, director of “Rosa” and “The Ghost Monument.” Otherwise, there isn’t much…

Kingdom of The Planet of the Apes Review

Planet of the Apes is one of those rare series that has managed to withstand the test of time while also continuing to innovate with subsequent entries. The prequel series which began in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes…

Doctor Who “Rogue” – Review

The gayest episode of Doctor Who, literally. Directed by Australian director, Ben Chessell, he returns for only his second episode following “The Devil’s Chord.” Though “Rogue” is also the first episode not written by a former showrunner of Doctor Who this series,…
