Read moreReview: Disenchantment: Part 1 – When you wish upon a streaming service
Disenchantment, a Netflix original animated series, is the newest outing of Simpsons and Futurama creator Matt Groening. That alone should be enough to catch most viewer’s attention (something Netflix is no doubt counting on) but can the iconic mind behind some of TV’s biggest successes repeat the magic of his earlier shows or is this fantasy comedy destined to be […]
Read moreReview: Avengers: Infinity War – 10 years snapped by
Regardless of how you feel about the Marvel movies as a whole, Avengers: Infinity War is the definition of a cinematic event. Not just for the sheer spectacle or massive cast, though it has both of those to spare, Infinity War is a film that has done something no other film has done before.

I’m sorry, American audiences couldn’t hear you over the sound of Thor. Thing is, Philomena […]

When the trailer for Gravity started making the rounds a couple of weeks ago it, portrayed a seriously intense survival story set in one of the most hostile environments known to man: the vacuum of space. While a man vs. nature survival story is hardly new to film, the unique setting, sharp visuals and intense action looked prime to keep […]

When Matt Smith announced that he was leaving Doctor Who after the 50th Anniversary Special and the annual Christmas episode, the fans of Who, known as Whovians, took to the Internet to discuss who could, should, and would be the 12th (or — Spoiler! — 13th, actually) Doctor.
