‘What We Do in the Shadows’ makes hilarious transition to small screen
‘Black Mirror’ Season 5 is easily the weakest so far (TV review)
With the failed experiment of the “choose your own adventure” movie “Bandersnatch” in the rear view, I was happy to hear “Black Mirror” Season 5 (Netflix) was finally on the horizon. I was very disappointed, however, to learn it’s only three episodes. With only a little over three hours of new material, my expectations were […]

Malek, music are the stars of too-formulaic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (Movie review)

Goddard (“Daredevil”) channels his inner Quentin Tarantino with a layered mystery of murder and […]

‘The Ranch’ shifts into soap-opera mode with the departure of Masterson (TV review)

Due to sexual harassment allegations, Masterson was fired from the Netflix comedy last year. This is the first portion of the series to not include his character, Rooster. That will be a hard […]
