The Strain was pretty good this week…with one bratty exception. Here’s Marc’s review… This review contains spoilers. Sadly, it seemed we have entered the really annoying kid phase of the narrative. But first, let us cover the always effective Setrakian flashback of the week. Last episodes flashback took us really far back in history to Setrakians youth. Palmer sought out Setrakian so the vampire hunter could find the Masters cane which was somewhere in Vienna....
Hannibal closes out its Italian story arc by letting its eponymous serial killer play the savior. And Will is done putting himself in a position where he is made to tolerate them. Does it count as a cage if you put yourself there? For Hannibal, perhaps not. (Side note: How far away are Muskrat Farm and Wills house?) Of course Will and Hannibal were not the only characters in play here....
This review contains spoilers for the most recent episode. All I can say is: finally! I was glad the concept didnt spring from nowhere since it tied the story directly to last weeks failure. The bungled salvage mission means no payment, and food and resources are running low on the Raza. Two rightfully sent their sleazy employer packing, and her menace was palpable. I wonder whats going on there! What path will Four choose?...

Marvels tiniest superhero hits the big screen at last. Read our review of Ant-Man! The original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, and his wife, Janet Van Dyne a.k.a. Its fun even if it goes on a bit too long. Where doesAnt-Man Marvels 12th released motion picture fall in the great ranking of the MCU? Easily somewhere toward the upper end of the middle tier.

A second season couldnt come fast enough. Would you mind explaining what you do for the series for those that may not be aware? And I kind of just manage the visual look to everything in the show. All the texts is my font; my own handwriting. Its all sort of made to look like my work. I know the creator of the show, Raphael [Bob-Waksberg]. We went to high school together, and we used to make up TV shows together just for fun....
