Read our review here! This Fargo review contains spoilers. Ignore the think-pieces fromThe New YorkerandThe Atlanticand just look at the daily newswire onVariety. These shows take little creative chances, banking on familiarity to suck viewers in. Youve never seen gold look this bleak. Deviations were made, but season one never rose above being an enjoyable homage. Solverson is dealing with an ill wife and young daughter at home. I generally enjoyed season one, but its premiere bugged me by how closely it mirrored the film....

One of the things that struck me hardest about this film is how unusual some of the compositions are. It seems like you use a lot more central framing than many other movies. What were you thinking about here? Was it an eye-tracking issue? With something moving so quickly, and with so much action, it can become like visual noise. Not disorienting but annoying, really. There has to be a strong causal relationship between one shot and the next....

Guillermo del Toro chats to us about Crimson Peak, Pacific Rim 2 and Pan’s Labyrinth… The latest film by Guillermo del Toro isCrimson Peak. Heres how our chat went down.Crimson Peakfeatures a lot of elemental elements. What was the thinking behind this? Some of the gothic romance elements are even more extreme. I always say that in gothic romance, geography is destiny. The moors are linked to Heathcliff inWuthering Heights, they define who he is....

The murder investigations in Minority Report are just not as interesting as the underlying mythology… This Minority Report review contains spoilers. Even an entertaining procedural can be made more three-dimensional by themes that dig below the surface. Besides some attempts at heartfelt character moments, Fredi is still focused on the wrong things. These character developments were well presented, actually, but perhaps not as high on potential viewers priority lists. Ad content continues below...

From the makers of The Witcher series comes Cyberpunk 2077. Here’s everything we know about the eagerly-anticipated RPG… And if were honest, nor should they try. Besides, its not like theyre planning to shirk on the size. The Polish developers have already promised that the game will be far, far larger than The Witcher III. One person who certainly trusts their judgement is Mike Pondsmith, creator of the originalCyberpunktabletop game....

An ancient mutant will attack the 1980s in 2016’s new X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse. If the double-bill disappointment ofX-Men: The Last StandandX-Men Origins: Wolverinecouldnt kill the X-Men franchise, nothing can. That film would beX-Men: Apocalypse. Take that, Magneto! Without further ado, heres our primer on what to expect from the movie… Dude was levitating pyramids. You couldnt have missed him. This chap has been lifted straight from the pages of the comics....

Marvel Studios has announced three movies without titles for 2020. We did some digging to predict what they might be… Marvel Studios has madea big announcement. This trio of unnamed projects brings Marvels slate of upcoming movies to a gargantuan 14 films. We could be wrong there, but nothing in the Marvel blurb mentioned Phase 4 at all. Heres what we came up with… N.B. All dates listed in this article are the American release dates....

Things get ‘perilous’ and spoilery with our review of the latest Once Upon a Time. ThisOnce Upon a Timereview contains many spoilers. WE WERE RIGHT, MY HALF OF TWITTER. This was ostensibly Davids episode. You would be incorrect. In fact, you probably should. But it doesnt play that way. Emmas got Gold in her thrall now, and that should make for good TV. Im sure whatever news Lancelot comes bearing with him about Arthurs murderous tendencies will also be engaging....

With Star Wars: Battlefront’s release looming, fans were given a chance to sample its open beta. Ad content continues below So what did we think? Well, from a technical standpoint, the game is stellar. But what of the gameplay? That said, the same could well be true ofBattlefront. Does that mean the game isnt fun to play? No, of course it is. It isnt allStar Warsawesome sauce though. Some of the spawning points in multiplayer are laughably terrible....

The AffairSeason 2 Episode 2. I am sure that this will work out exactly how it should. She gives the impression of restless at the moment and unable to focus. Such a thing was inevitable and its nice to see it not being dragged out at the least. Cole basically holds Alison emotionally hostage as his mood ping-pongs all over the place. Or perhaps Noah, in his safety net, is just hearing what he wants to hear....

This The Leftovers review contains spoilers. The move this week, to pick up where season one left off, felt like a traditional premiere. Watching the way Kevin dealt with Pattis death was very interesting. I loved the scene of him being forthright with Nora about the situation. Tom popped back up this week too, but only briefly. Learning about the quirks and procedures of the town will provide a lot of good moments of discovery....

Theres only one thing The Simpsons cant beat this season. ThisThe Simpsonsreview contains spoilers. The Simpsons: Season 27 Episode 3. Puffless feels like one of those itchy sweaters Jacqueline Bouvier knits for Christmas. I wonder if Mr. Burns wasnt the only person in Springfield to come down with dementia.The SimpsonsRick rolled us. The couch gag is very prescient to the episode as Monster-truck Maggie runs over the whole family. I suppose they had to give Maggie something to do, its not like shes getting any older....
