This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 9 The Simpsons season 32, episode 9, “Sorry Not Sorry,” teaches a valuable lesson for a hack comedy cartoon: when apologies don’t work, enforce bribery. This isn’t to belittle extortion, intimidation or other forms of larceny, but this is the twist which Simpsonizes the
It was 30 years ago that TriStar Pictures released Total Recall, a sci-fi action movie directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronny Cox, Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside, and Rachel Ticotin. Based loosely on a story by Philip K. Dick called “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale,” the movie starred Schwarzenegger as Douglas
Santa Claus has been a consistent presence on The Simpsons from the very first episode, and not strictly contained within the holidays. Homer wanted to be him. Abe and Bart wanted to kill him.

This His Dark Materials review contains spoilers. By now, this series has firmly established the rule that if you put Mrs Coulter in a scene, you’ve got yourself a scene. It almost doesn’t matter who she’s paired with. Lee Scoresby, a Magisterium toady, a mirror… So long as Ruth Wilson is there, fizzing with barely concealed

Vikings season 6 returns for its second half on December 30 to conclude the series, but rather than airing weekly on the History channel, all ten episodes will drop on Amazon Prime Video.

This article contains Mank spoilers. You can read our review here. It’s like the climax of a Western. Two men stare across from each other in a showdown of ego and calculation. And Gary Oldman’s Herman J. Mankiewicz (or “Mank”) has just told Orson Welles (Tom Burke) he wants writing credit for the Citizen Kane
This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers. This episode was a huge gamble for Power Rangers Beast Morphers. As I wrote about last week, invoking a plotline from Power Rangers RPM could have blown up in their faces.

While the world is still a few weeks away from seeing Wonder Woman 1984, the first members of the press have now seen the film. While they have been sworn to secrecy until December 15th, when the embargo lifts on full-on reviews, we are getting some initial reactions to the WB sequel, and they are

This article contains Warrior spoilers. Although the Bruce Lee-inspired Cinemax series Warrior is fiction, it is loosely based on historical events of San Francisco in the 1870s. Just as Nellie Davenport (Miranda Raison) is based upon on a remarkable San Franciscan heroine, Donaldina Cameron, the Season 2 Finale drops a bomb for one of the show’s
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. An Imperial Grand Admiral sits in a darkened room surrounded by his art collection. He’s plotting a massive comeback. He’s planning to rebuild the Empire and make this whole New Republic thing look like a massive joke. He’s got blue skin. Did I mention he loves art?
Fear the Walking Dead is now poised to outlive the soon-to-end mothership series from which it was spun, thanks to AMC’s renewal for a seventh season.

Amanda Seyfried is a fan of old school movies and classic Hollywood. Considering the Mank star has been acting since she was a teenager, this isn’t a surprise. In her mind it’s a prerequisite, something that comes with the territory: each young actor is obligated to “study film on the job” when starting out. So
