Poltergeist Review

Attempting to remake an 80s touchstone likePoltergeistwas always going to be a tricky proposition. First of all, the Steven Spielberg storied and Tobe Hooper directed (or perhaps also Spielberg directed?) original is something akin to hallowed ground in this genre. So going in to thePoltergeistredo, director Gil Kenan was instantly summoning some potentially malevolent forces from moviegoers. InsteadPoltergeist15 is coming off the much less idealized Great Recession. Rockwells Eric is out of work after being laid off by the surprisingly namedropped John Deere....

Tomorrowland Review

George Clooney fights for the future in Brad Birds Tomorrowland. Cant you just be amazed? That sounds pretty dystopian to me. Anyone who sees the film and gets inspired to visit the actual Tomorrowland is headed for Disappointmentland. Ad content continues below Casey becomes the center of the story after Franks flashback. Thats the thing:Tomorrowlandis boring. Tomorrowlandopens in theaters on Friday (May 22). Rating: 2 out of 5

Steven Seagal’s Mercenary Absolution: 2015’s toughest film

Steven Seagal and Vinnie Jones star in Mercenary: Absolution. I wasnt involved in writing that one and didnt actually get around to reading it. I heard it was good, though, and so naturally assume Seagal took the top spot. It has proved a canny prediction as the film delivers. Well, it has some flaws, but I think its alright. If youre a fan of modern Steven Seagal movies then this is one of the better ones....

Superhero TV: is the age of the secret identity over?

Now, things are very different. Chief among these points of frustration is the idea of the hero having a secret identity. Sure, hide yourself from the world at large, but from your girlfriend? The source of the madness on the former show? For a character kept in the dark, shes textbook. Replace her withSmallvilles Lana Lang and Im not sure itd make much difference. Foggys reaction is very similar to Tommys, in fact....

Community: Modern Espionage Review

A Community paintball episode? Here’s our review… Oh, so this is where the budget went. In the first minute, Todd and Star-Burns (hey, its Star-Burns!) have a dramatic showdown featuring a ridiculously over-the-top spinning, sideways, flip-thing from Todd. Todds stunt is representative of the rest of the action in that it actually looks really cool. Season fours paintball attempt was so poorly staged it was tragic. When it comes to the episode premise, its nothing groundbreaking byCommunitystandards....

Its true everywhere I look....

Looking back at Green Wing

The show followed the employees of the fictitious East Hampton Hospital. The interplay between the cast is what really bringsGreen Wingto life. In terms of quality you might point to any episode of series 1 and find something brilliant in it. Whats not to love?! An alternative ending was filmed for the Special and features on the DVD. Most of the stars ofGreen Winghave gone on to bigger things. Pile followedGreen Wingwith the ill-fated and harshly judged (even thoughwe liked it)Campus....
