The X-Files Season 10 Premiere My Struggle Review

The X-Files revival premieres with an uneven first entry. The high of that moment slowly faded as the episode went on. They do well to couple Mulders intro with one of the best-looking alien sequences the show has ever done. Throw in the original title sequence and boom, were off to a pretty decent start! Then Tad OMalley enters the picture. Mind you, this is a show that did episodes about a gender-bending Amish man and invisible circus elephants....

Colony: Brave New World Review

The red hats refuse to ration any poultry meat to the family for reasons they do not expound upon. Thus begins the real plot-of-the-week forColonythis time around. Ad content continues below Sounds convoluted? But I kinda dig that. I wouldnt expect any large scale stunt work, as this show is still an exercise in subtlety. Yet nothing feels rushed, all new personalities are clearly defined, and the meet and greet goes smoothly....

Sailor Moon R – Moon Returns: The Mysterious Aliens Appear review

A pair of energy-sucking extraterrestrials bring Sailor Moon out of retirement. Check out our review of the Season 2 premiere here! And yet I have no problem whatsoever calling Mamoru Tuxedo Mask, rather than Tuxedo Kamen. Its a clumsy pun to be sure, but nonetheless intentional. And that just about covers it. and it seems their plan is a go. Until, of course, their Cardian attacks Naru, and we all know where that road leads....

But Bellamy stops him Jasper needs this. They all need this. First, Finns angry transgressions were small....

The Shannara Chronicles: Changeling Review

For better or worse, The Shannara Chronicles turns into your average MTV soap opera in its fourth episode. The Shannara ChroniclesSeason 1, Episode 4. ThisThe Shannara Chroniclesreview contains spoilers. In my opinion, cheez whiz is gross. If Im craving cheese, Ill go for the real stuff. Im not a fan of artificial cheese flavored things such as Cheetos and cheesy puffs. (Sorry, Kraft singles dont count as real cheese to me either....

Dirty Grandpa Review

Zac Efron and Robert De Niro humiliate themselves for laughs that rarely come in Dirty Grandpa. As they say, opposites attract and its pretty obvious shes a better match for Jason than Meredith. Its almost as if Robert De Niro has simply just given up. And then he comes back at us with this. Its something the audience figured out an hour ago. If thats you, then enjoy! Rating: 2 out of 5

Thunderbolts to Return with Bucky at the Helm

Of all the mainstay Marvel titles, one has been missing from the list. A few days ago, Marvel heavily suggested that the Thunderbolts would indeed be coming back.

Much like how, Justice, Like Lightning! was the original Thunderbolts motto. Plus its made to look almost exactly like the cover toThunderbolts #1from 1997....
