On paper, there’s nothing especially funny about a husband and wife plotting to kill one another. Similarly, there’s nothing all that amusing about heads and...

Thank goodness for Karl Urban, honestly. As someone satisfied with being a consistently great bit player in massive IP, he has one of the most...

I’ve already complained about Spooky in Love feeling a bit familiar and formulaic, and I wouldn’t say that Episode 2 assuages any of those concerns....

Got to be honest – this all feels a bit contrived to me? Based on the 2011 South Korean film Spellbound, Spooky in Love is...

Maybe it’s just me, but I expected Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed to end a bit more convincingly than this. Granted, I did imply that there wasn’t enough time...

Netflix’s French-language sort-of thriller Nothing to Lose makes light of a serious subject by having its ending reach levels of distracting ridiculousness. While a strident...

I should be clear that Nothing to Lose (2026) is about a very serious subject and is very serious about it – it even ends...

We’re a week out from the finale of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, and things are finally starting to take shape. I’m beginning to suspect that Season 1...

Being likeable will get you a long way. And if there’s one thing about Jeff Arcuri, it’s that he’s likeable. He’s immediately infectious. He’s also...

I haven’t enjoyed a Netflix stand-up show in a while. The last two comedians I watched were Ali Wong and Wanda Sykes, so I was...

Netflix’s Little Brother is an unashamedly silly movie, and given the R-rating, I must confess to having entered it expecting the John Cena equivalent of...

In the grand scheme of things, Season 2 only represents the midpoint of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It adapts Book Two: Earth of the animated...

It’s easy to forget that Aang’s a kid, sometimes. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those hero’s journey fantasy stories that thrust youngsters into the deep...

While we’re technically still stuck in Ba Sing Se, which was already beginning to feel a bit limiting, Episode 5 of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2...

Ba Sing Se is good and bad for Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2. Having all of the cast in the same place, in a location that...

Some people don’t have a great deal of luck, and I’m starting to think that Prince Zuko is one of them. Sure, you can make...
