AMC’s Turn Season 2 Finale Review: Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot

Here’s our review. The Americans attacked the British rear. The two armies contained about 25,000 soldiers, slightly more British than Americans. They fought nearly all day to a standstill. The weather was so hot that nearly a hundred men died of heat stroke. The British then continued their march to New York, unhindered by further large attacks. Unfortunately, the scale of the Monmouth battle is simply beyond whatTurncan portray. Last seasons fight at Setauket, which was merely a skirmish, was hard enough....

This article contains numerousTrekspoilers… Film trilogies come in different flavors. Many were hoped-for on the condition the first film did well, likeStar WarsorThe Matrix. Star Trek IIIVdont tend to come up in conversations about trilogies because theyre not really any of the above. It doesnt get in the way of the story. Two someones in fact: the son Kirk was only just getting to know and the Enterprise itself. Its no wonder Kirks response is My god, Bones, what have I done?...

Why The Belgariad Deserves to be the Next Game of Thrones

Which fantasy book series deserves to get the Game Of Thrones treatment next? We think it’s David Eddings' The Belgariad… TV networks and online providers dont ask for much. They simply want their next tentpole program to be massively successful. When they do, its slaps on the back for everyone. When the audiences dont manifest, the project is quickly canned. A few years ago any series with a corset was the nextDownton Abbey....

X-Men: What Lessons Can Previous Shows Teach the New One?

The X-Men are no strangers to television, with a surprising number of TV appearances under their belts. As cartoons go,Pryde Of The X-Menwas generally considered…alright. The animation was great, but the writing was cliched. It was not the dignified end a once-popular show deserved. and dont ignore the social issues that made the X-Men popular in the first place. That said, it isnt a total wash-out. Yes, they cast Jubilee as white instead of Chinese....

Orphan Black: Ruthless in Purpose, and Insidious in Method Review

Cosima screws up but Tatiana Maslany is flawless. Here is our review of Orphan Black: Season 3 Episode 8. When we first met Crystal, blissfully working in a nail salon, she seemed like a typical airhead. Of course, it was none other than Delphine who was keeping tabs on her ex-lovers lookalike. But the book was no longer in Cosimas possession which brings us to Cosimas mistake I foreshadowed earlier....

Bitten: Season Finale Review

The coven dangles loose ends to lure us to next season. Here is our review of Bitten season 2 finale. Well hello there, my fellowBittenfans! This has definitely been a season chock full of new characters and revelations. One of the biggest surprises comes in the form of Clara Sullivan (Debra McCabe). Clara seemed to be a character of little import for most of this season. She betrayed Ruth and the coven, got stripped of her coven status and lived as a psychic/magick practitioner....

Aquarius: Never Say Never To Always Review

Charlie Manson makes a demo. That is when the budding rock star is the inimitable but much imitated Charles Manson. Meanwhile, the triangulation around the budding cult songwriter is getting tighter. Hodiak has the prerequisite gallows humor. Pistol whip a midget? He also tackles and roughhouses his old partner, just to keep him on his feet. The rough-housing agent is more than a little self-involved. He doesnt give her that good a review, saying she could learn a lot from Sadie....

Electric Boogaloo Review

The rise and fall of Cannon Films is told in Mark Hartley’s wildly entertaining documentary, Electric Boogaloo. Director Mark Hartleys love of B-movies previously fuelled the feature-length documentariesNot Quite Hollywood(2008) andMachete Maidens Unleashed! (2010), andElectric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story Of Cannon Filmsoffers a similarly affectionate portrait. It resembles something youve seen, minus the good taste.
