Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) – Take Three

Paul Brian McCoy
December 24, 2019
Movies, Reviews
So yeah. I enjoyed Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It's big and loud and dumb as hell.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) – Take Two

Jeffrey Roth
December 22, 2019
Movies, Reviews
J.J. Abrams does not understand Star Wars.

Nate Zoebl
December 21, 2019
Movies, Reviews
Star Wars will always be Star Wars but it can also be much more if it wanted to be.

Jeffrey Roth
December 17, 2019

While divisive, The Force Awakens set the stage for a revitalization of Star Wars.

EZMM 2019 Day 7.2: Overlord (2018)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 21, 2019
Zombies 101
Overlord is a solid entry in the zombie canon, with strong performances, spectacular effects and more than a few good gore gross-outs.

The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

Nate Zoebl
February 8, 2018
Movies, Reviews
The Cloverfield Paradox is another Cloverfield movie where the Cloverfield elements feel like the least interesting part.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Chapter Four: Shawn Hill

Shawn Hill
December 27, 2017
Movies, Reviews
Though familiar patterns persist, there’s no way for them not to have started and continue diverging.

Paul Brian McCoy
December 18, 2017

Visually, the film is spectacular and brings to the screen some of the most beautiful images in the history of the series.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Chapter Two: Jeffrey Roth

Jeffrey Roth
December 18, 2017
Movies, Reviews
Continuing a grand saga of forcible people swinging lightsabers at each other, The Last Jedi fails to live up to expectations.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Chapter One: Nate Zoebl

Nate Zoebl
December 18, 2017
Movies, Reviews
The Last Jedi is a better movie, structurally and even emotionally than Force Awakens, but it’s flawed and definitely less fun and is driving so many fans to the dark side.

Westworld: Season One Blu-ray

Paul Brian McCoy
November 6, 2017
DVD/Blu-ray, Reviews, TV
Not only is Westworld a must-see, it’s a must-own collection that will reward multiple viewings in ways that few other shows would even attempt.

11.22.63 1.04 “The Eyes of Texas”

Joshua Mattern
March 13, 2016
Reviews, TV
And so the central problem with this show is rearing its ugly head: is even a limited, eight-episode run too much time for the story being told?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

Adam Barraclough, John E. Meredith, Rick Shingler, Serdar Yegulalp, Shawn Hill
December 20, 2015

I prepared myself to accept that this just wasn’t the same Star Wars that I grew up consuming.

Book Review: The Multiple Worlds of Fringe

The Multiple Worlds of Fringe is a valuable work of television criticism worth the attention of media scholars and the show’s fans alike.

2013 Summer of Sci-Fi Retrospective

Paul Brian McCoy
September 27, 2013
Shot for Shot
I've been known to complain about the lack of good science fiction cinema these days, but I suppose there's rarely been a time when there were consistently good sci-fi films filling the theaters.

May 16, 2013
Movies, Reviews
Star Trek Into Darkness is complete horseshit -- unoriginal, dumb, fan-baiting and infuriatingly stupid.
