Review: ‘Halo’ Series First Two Episodes

Well, Halo the Series is here or will be, shortly. I did manage to watch only two episodes of a 9 episode run so that caught my interest from the press email that they were holding the rest of the show close to their chest. Knowing in advance that it is set in an alternate timeline from the mega-franchise and its

‘Charmed’ Season Four Review: Still as Charming as Ever

After the bombshell of a season three finale, Charmed returned this past week on the CW. As excited as I was for the new season, I was nervous about what direction the soft reboot would take after the loss of one of the Charmed ones. Especially when Madeleine Mantock’s leave from the show came as quite a shock. However, any fear

For many shows going into their seventh season, it’s time for a reinvention, something that DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is used to.

Review: ‘The Batman’ is a Technical Achievement (Spoilers)

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is one of my favorite movies that I’ve ever seen: point blank period. In a franchise with at least ten movies and a sub-genre as saturated as comic book movies, it’s hard to imagine reinventing the wheel to such a degree that The Batman achieves, but boy, do they ever achieve it. With a stunning visual style, unique take on a

Review: ‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 2 Premiere

Star Trek: Picard season 2 is a love letter to fans that honors the 50 plus years of the source material while still creating a riveting and fresh story.

The film, directed by Matt Reeves, stars Robert Pattinson as the titular character Batman, aka billionaire CEO Bruce Wayne.

‘Peacemaker’ Season 1 Review (Spoilers)

Peacemaker has finally wrapped up with its season finale and I have to say: I am really happy with how this series turned out. The months between John Cena’s debut as the character in The Suicide Squad and his series’ premiere episodes were long and treacherous, but it lived up to expectations (and may have even exceeded them).  [Warning: Spoilers for
