At the risk of repeating myself, there is, I think, an argument to be made in favour of streaming services being the most viable delivery...

Just when it seemed like Trainwreck had reached its lowest ebb with a thoroughly uninteresting instalment, along comes Balloon Boy. This story of an apparent...

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that in Episode 2, “Shot for Dots”, The Institute still has a lot of the same problems it showcased in the premiere.

I get the sense we’ll have to cut The Institute a bit of slack. There’s a compelling core story here, and Episode 1 hints at it repeatedly.

Depending on who you ask, contemporary entertainment’s sheer unwillingness to let go of a recognisable IP may or may not be killing the film, TV, and video game industries all at the same time.

Typically, home-invasion thrillers have simple endings. The good guys win, or they don’t. Either way works. But Push, which is a home-invasion thriller for most...

For at least an hour, Push is one of the best, most nail-biting movies of 2025. It’s a masterful work of horror-thriller craftsmanship, brought to...

If you’ve ever seen a buddy-cop movie, you’ll likely be able to predict the ending of Almost Cops after the first five minutes. I don’t...

Buddy cop comedies used to be ten-a-penny, and a lot of them were great – Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, 48 Hours, Tango & Cash, the...

Smoke has been a risky show since the beginning, especially since it waited until the final scene of its second episode to become interesting.

It’s a great surprise that Leviathan ends as conclusively as it does. For one thing, it’s a Netflix series, and those are notorious for never...

You’d need both hands and at least half a foot to count all the cool stuff in Leviathan, Netflix’s anime adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s World...

It’s an unwritten rule that no Netflix movie can ever truly end. With streaming content being what it is, the possibility of a sequel must...

Even if it wasn’t my job, I’d still find myself watching a movie like Ziam. As played out as zombies might be these days, the...

To give credit where it’s due, I didn’t expect The Buccaneers to rocket through Season 2’s overarching plot the way it does in Episode 4.

I knew this already, but Stick is a nice reminder that nobody plays smug better than Timothy Olyphant.

Nate Jackson: Super Funny is a very good special by all the usual standards, but it’s fascinating in one specific, new-ish way. Bookended by perfectly funny...

If you’re old enough to have been a teenager in 2012 or thereabouts, you no doubt remember Project X, a teen comedy based on a...
