Marvels Inhumans ABC review

Inhumans on the moon! Inhumans in Hawaii! I paid $17 a ticket for two people to go see this at an IMAX theater, but it was utter trash. It would have been ok to watch it on TV, we fully expect Marvel’s television efforts to be low budget and make nearly no sense, but this Read the full article…

Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer and DeRay Davis lend their voices to an all-new military Sci-Fi adventure from the writer of Starship Troopers and Robocop, Ed Neumeier. This is as good as the original movie, it’s cgi, but it’s absolutely beautiful cgi. I highly recommend watching!

Atomica review

In the future, an inspector visits a remote nuclear power plant. Once inside, disturbing clues cause her to have doubts about the sanity and identities of the staff onsite.

Broad City review

I mainlined the first three seasons of this show, it was absolutely amazing. These ladies are hilarious and need to have longer / more material.

Voltron Legendary Defender Season 3 review

As a Netflix exclusive, it was great to get 8 episodes all at once, but I don’t think I’m happy with these shorter seasons they seem to be testing out, I’d much rather have a full order of 15-20 episodes. It was too short, but still very good. Next season is in October, so not Read the full article…
