The Messengers: Path to Paradise Review

After three episodes,The Messengersstill doesnt seem to know what show it wants to be. Is it a series about a found family of angels and their detective-like mission to stop the apocalypse? Is it a government conspiracy theory drama with a supernatural twist? Is it a24-esque thriller about one undercover federal agents quest for vengeance? It doesnt really matter because, right now, none of these stories are enticing. At least not in the clunky, predictable wayThe Messengerstells them....

Louie: Bobby’s House Review

Five star review alert! accomplishes this is by beginning the episode with a non-sequitur. Bobby reasons, He fought in Vietnam. Ad content continues below What, so then they all came here? The conversation and the scene end abruptly when the lights suddenly cut out. The main plot of the episode is then introduced, though in a crafty, unobvious way. Whats so cool about this is how naturalistic and haphazard it all seems, likeLouieat its best does....

The alley is misty, and two sections of it are awash in either blue or red light....

Agents of SHIELD: The Dirty Half Dozen Review

SHIELD acts as a lead-in to Age of Ultron. In a kind of anticlimactic way. What of the narrative we have been following since Wards turn last year? What of the conflict that brought us Cal Johnson, Whitehall, Bakshi, and Dr. All of a sudden, the central conflict of the show is being resolved in another medium. It really was worthy of a rewind or two. By missions end, Skye saved Lincoln from being dissected and was back with her teammates....

Powers Season Finale Review: F@#K the Big Chiller

Powers has come to its first season conclusion. Find out in our review! ThePowersseason finale was one part exciting, two parts awful fight scenes, and three parts boring. I guess stumbling on the Lynchian isnt as cool as doing it on purpose. Thats the whole point of a Lynchian production, right? The fight scenes have, for the most part, hit a note for me. A much lower level. On a parallel earth,X-Menperhaps wishes it could be as campy and Lynchian asPowers....
