Endearing schlock

“Celebrated horror author Stephen King has written many novels that have been adapted for the big screen, but he has also penned over two-hundred short stories, a number of which have been compiled into book collections. Following in the shadow of the horror anthology Creepshow, 1985's Cat's Eye is a” read more

Another goofy, funny, action-packed Batman flick

“To say the least, 2016's Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was a pleasant departure from the dour, gritty depiction of the Caped Crusader introduced by Christopher Nolan. A throwback to the light-hearted 1960s Batman television show, Return of the Caped Crusaders was a well-received success, and” read more

A funny, reverent tribute to 1960s Batman

“Almost paradoxically, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders is by far and away the best and most enjoyable Batman movie of 2016, not that it has much in the way of competition. Yes, this feature-length homage to the campy 1960s Batman TV show is effortlessly better than both the monstrously-budgeted” read more

A hit-and-miss historical curiosity

“Adapted from the 1978 non-fiction novel of the same name by journalist Christopher Robbins, Air America strives to be both an anti-war political drama as well as an action-comedy, but it never quite comes together in any meaningful way.

First things first: Rick and Morty is incredibly over-hyped, which is reflected in the inane protests that took place when McDonalds didn't have enough Szechaun sauce and fans started rioting. In fact, it's hard to look anywhere on the internet without seeing people who worship this show like it's the second coming (my real-life friends included). But heavens me, it justifies the hype; this is one of the smartest, funniest, most creative shows you will ever see, animated or not. Characters click from the very beginning, and I found myself to be hopelessly hooked after just a couple of episodes. Laughs are constant, but Rick and Morty establishes itself above the ordinary with its sense of maturity and random moments of pure darkness. Indeed, the end of "Auto Erotic Assimilation," for instance, provides one of the most poignant and affectingly raw portraits of depression, and that final scene has stuck with me ever since. Meanwhile, the Season 3 episode "The Ricklantis Mixup" is astonishingly dark and effective, whilst still being eminently watchable and enjoyable. It seems that the writers can never run out of creative stories for episodes, or creative ideas to fill each episode. This really is a case of quality over quantity; after finishing the 31 available episodes (I actually rewatched a number of episodes before finishing my binge), I found myself wanting more. This one is going to be on the air for a long time to come.
