As usual, The Walking Dead is an emotional experience. One in which, despite only using a joystick and a handful of buttons, reminds you why video games are an art form. Something which takes you beyond passively watching like a voyeur but making you a participant. Making you wholly responsible for the life, death, happiness,…
SukaSuka (World’s End) is still trying to really convince you to invest in Willem and Chtholly’s relationship. But it remains rather unconvincing.
Sarah Silverman is the type of comedian who definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Yes, she is/was popular enough to have her own show. However, she isn’t the type of comedian who gets their own movies. Which is fine since she is at her best in supporting roles, see A Million Ways To Die In…
So, Gotham tries to do the unexpected. However, with such robotic acting from the people who should surprise us, it sort of falls flat. But, thanks to some old friends, it seems the finale at least will be interesting.
I could kick myself for putting this movie off as long as I did. For out of all the movies which were on my Netflix watch list, this is the only one, thus far, I’ve enjoyed. Though, I should note, not without some caveats. Whether or not that should be seen as a deal breaker,…
At this point, it is becoming hard to justify the inactivity of the show. For even with a new Dreams of Alice user being introduced, I find myself being pushed toward sleep.
It is hard to not be a bit of a fan of WB’s DC animation lately. Their Batman saga, outside of Killing Joke, has been quite good. So with Vixen being an unknown character to me, I wanted to check out Vixen: The Movie. Especially since it was just a little over an hour. Meaning,…
Being politically correct, or fearing backlash, has changed the output of comedy. This can especially be said for network TV for the Archie Bunker types could never get a green light nowadays. However, The Carmichael Show seems to dance on that line. The line of which what an overly sensitive culture will allow for comedy…
The majority of the episode focuses on everyone learning Altair’s name and background. However, alongside that, we have Mamika confronting Altair and Chikujoin interacting with Sota. Alone.
When many think of protest and demonstrations in the modern age, Hong Kong isn’t perhaps what first comes to mind. In America, you’d think of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In parts of the middle east, perhaps the Arab Spring. But when it comes to Asia, while they also have human rights issues, they don’t necessarily get…
For half of Being 17, it seems aimless and quite boring. Yet, in the 2nd half, just as it seems to be going somewhere, it ends before you can finally say “This is interesting.”
The aftermath of Azazel’s failed rebellion is predictable but not who we get to see after the credits roll.
War Machine brings little to no nuance to the post-9/11 war sub-genre. It is a bloated film about one general’s ego and his belief the Afghan war wasn’t won yet because he wasn’t there.
Shelter has its moments. However, it wastes all of its potential by not properly developing its storyline or characters. Trigger Warning(s): Movie contains needle use and vomiting
Rather than drag out what may have happened to Luke, as I want to believe they are doing with Moira, we get an episode dedicated to him.
SukaSuka or Worlds End continues to seem like it wants to build toward something but stumbles too much to make significant progress.
One villain’s life comes to an end and one hero’s journey gets derailed. Can you guess who is who?
November Rule follows the usual formula romantic relationships do without a single twist or notable thing to make it fresh
As Sana experiences emotions, we get some background on the twins’ past and their present conditions.
Being this was my first stand up show, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, granted, I’ve been listening to “The Read” for years and am still subscribed to Kid Fury’s Youtube channel. Even if he hasn’t added a video in a year… But there is a difference between what you know has the potential…
Outside of the battle continuing from the last episode, there isn’t much going on with Re:Creators right now. Though with a 22 episode order, that explains why we end up with more exposition. Though thankfully not from Meteora.
Being that Bowie has 16 years of spending time with Andi to catch up on, he gets a little overzealous. But he is, afterall, trying to be part of a family he didn’t know he had.
Blame! Would lead you to believe that Netflix is testing out the possibility of expanding this to a series but wants to see their subscribers’ response is first.
On the anniversary of the fall of Cocytus, the demons take one last stand against the tyranny of Charoice XVII.
Everything, Everything may truly be one of the few book adaptations that cut what was necessary, added what was needed, and casts everyone nearly perfectly.
In Two Lovers and a Bear, Tatiana Maslany and Dane DeHaan continue to lead you to wonder if what you saw in them was a fluke or they just have had really bad taste in roles ever since.
As the Mexico ambassador visits, we get a peek inside the past of Serena Joy and her part in what eventually created Gilead.
In Tracy Morgan: Still Alive, Morgan proves he is much more than the Black guy from 30 Rock or SNL, or the dude who made millions off of Walmart.
More of Willem’s past is revealed, as well as a possible plan to take back the surface from the 17 beasts.
Strangely, as Kathryn walks Gotham towards its destruction, she becomes perhaps the first real formidable villain we’ve seen in awhile.
While not a very insightful romance movie, despite it starring some kind of “guru,” The Bounce Back is cute. Even if it follows the usual romance movie formula.
While containing a likable lead with a few quirks, this odd tale about gardening, finding love, and a grumpy old man may just put you to sleep.
Alice to Zorouku returns to being a very slice of life type of show as Sana learns what it means to be a family, gets a haircut, and gets lost.
A new creation is introduced and it seems this one is neither a hero nor anti-hero but a straight up villain.
What happens if Charoice ever dies? Who inherits the throne? Well, it seems Charoice may solve that problem through his pursuit of Nina.
Bowie is firmly introduced and well, let’s just say that *fingers crossed* he can grow on us.
Lowriders is likable, but in the pursuit of having emotional depth, it drowns in its own melodrama.
In Get Me Roger Stone, Roger Stone is presented beyond the level of the Koch Brothers or any non-politician political figure you may know. For truly, the way this documentary presents him, he should be in history books.
Snatched isn’t as bad as it may seem to some, but it certainly doesn’t redeem Amy Schumer after The Leather Special.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
