This post contains spoilers for “Star Trek: Picard” season 3, episode 6. As it crosses into the back half of its third and final season, “Star Trek: Picard” finally brings back Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton). It’s good to see him again: let’s acknowledge that. Episode 6, “The Bounty,” also hints at the end that season […]

It seems that this moment was inevitable. For the first five episodes of the third season of “Star Trek: Picard,” the showrunners have shown a great deal of restraint. The central cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” was poised to reunite, but so far the story has taken precedence, with recognizable legacy characters slowly […]

Rob Zombie’s first feature film, 2003’s “House of 1000 Corpses,” is a filthy little nightmare of a movie. Shot for only $7 million, Zombie’s film took a lot of tonal and visual cues from Tobe Hooper’s “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” but filtered through the director’s ultraviolent heavy metal sensibility. The film was bleak, violent, […]

One of the most time-consuming aspects of being a cinephile is worrying about the health and longevity of TCM. The venerable broadcast television channel dedicated to classic Hollywood cinema has grown since its 1994 launch into a kind of preservationist and enthusiast’s empire that includes an annual film festival, an original film distribution arm, a […]

The wild, wild world of “Star Wars” has been rocked by yet another creative attachment. Variety reports that the currently untitled “Star Wars” film that Lucasfilm has been developing for “Ms. Marvel” director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has got a new, big-name writer on board after the high-profile departure of Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson. That new writer is […]

This article contains spoilers for “Ted Lasso” season 3. Say what you will about season 2 of “Ted Lasso,” but it was nice to have the whole cast and crew together in one place. For the most part, the characters were all a part of AFC Richmond; even if they didn’t get along all the time, […]

Nothing lasts forever, except maybe impermanence itself. Then again, if impermanence lasts forever, then it’s not really impermanence. It’s that kind of brain teaser that exhausts our noggins so much that we just want to sit back, konk out, and watch something on streaming. But just when you thought you were free from the stress […]

The sun never sets in the world of streaming. After a jam-packed March that saw “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” series going head-to-head with “Ted Lasso” in the lead up to the much-buzzed-about return of “Yellowjackets” (nope, still not ready to retire that joke) and one last hurrah for the Shakespearean tragedy that is “Succession,” April […]

The “Mission: Impossible” sequels aren’t done casting up just yet, and another blast from the past will be returning to the fold. As revealed by director Christopher McQuarrie on Instagram, none other than Rolf Saxon will be returning to the franchise for the first time since the original film hit theaters back in 1996. Indeed, […]

In the world of “Star Wars,” Mandalorians are the embodiment of a good action figure. They don’t need to be people, per se, just have a bunch of gadgets that both inform you of who they are and look cool. A flame thrower and a jetpack with a rocket launcher. Boba Fett didn’t need more than […]
