The Strain: The Assassin Review

The heroes' victory is short-lived as Eph shows a killer side. Here is our review of The Strain season 2 episode 10. With good reason, Palmer is the key to the Masters plan. Along for the ride with Eph was Dutch, and make no mistake this was truly Dutchs episode. I cant remember a positive portrayal of a poly character on TV in like, well, ever. And loves she does, both Nicki and Fet, intently, profoundly, and truly....

DC Superhero Movies and The Dangers of Gritty Realism

It’s a fool’s errand. It would appear that the superhero movie war between Warner Bros. and Marvel Studios has been fired. Really, though, this isnt much of a rivalry. At least not yet. Marvel has nearly a dozen superhero movies in their cinematic universe, with no end in sight. Warner Bros., under its current model at least, has produced exactly one (Man of Steel). Theres really nothing inflammatory about Tsujihara or Snyders statements....

Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows & How It Renews Peter Parker

A time when he was an actual character. Unto themselves, the 1990s were hardly the best era for Spider-Man comics. And however slowly that has continually happened for the perpetually 20-something character, it nevertheless did happen. By 1978, he was out of college. The funny thing is that everyone liked the flake better, including Stan Lee and John Romita. But it also freed Peter Parker to grow, as most young adults do....

Continuum: Lost Hours Review

Continuum starts its last season with a low-key episode peppered with puzzles. This review contains spoilers for the most recent episode. Their concussive blasts arent enough to kill Kiera, but she is certainly knocked around to a respectable degree. However, Lucas conversations with Garza and several furtive glances lead me to believe this alliance wont last long. Kellog himself seems oddly vulnerable having placed himself in the hot seat. Im anxious to see what the unit is that theyre building....

Power Rangers Dino Charge: Breakout review

ThisPower Rangers Dino Chargereview contains spoilers. That is some classic Power Rangers work around magic and I love it. I loved everything about this weeks episode ofPower Rangers Dino Charge. It not only introduced two new characters but also had humor, action, and finished off an arc. All in twentyish minutes! Its a credit to the episode when it feels twice its length and not in the boring way. Were introduced to Prince Philip, who wants all the artifacts in the new exhibit taken....

The Visit Review

Could the faux-doc horror thriller The Visit be a return to form for M. Night Shyamalan? And if that image sounds disturbing, theres more where that came from. Even though Shyamalan handles it more skillfully than most, it still feels unnecessary. But its not fatal. And on a narrative level,The Visitsustains a level of weird creepiness throughout. Lets hope he comes back here more often. The Visitis out in theaters Friday (September 11)....

Wittertainment: the world’s flagship film review programme

Beasts of No Nation Review

The 21st century Nigerian boys coming of age underlines how our upbringing shapes adulthood. Its a conventional day in a lifetime of an ordinary kid. The script ofBeasts of No Nationis elegant, just like the novel, in refusing to judge the characters. For instance the film shows small glimpses of the United Nations at work with refugees. Rating: 5 out of 5

Dominion: The Seed of Evil Review

Spoilers ahead for tonights excellent The Seed of Evil. Theres so much that worked about tonights episode. Not only did we see David reunited with his son, we saw Alex and Claire reunited, too. Its safe to say that neither reunion was happy for anyone involved. David, on the other hand, is conniving, underhanded and not at all to be trusted. Thats not how love works, even though Hollywood would like us to think it does....
