Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the performances of all three principal actors are amazing.

And that’s sort of my impression of Ouija: Origin of Evil. It was an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes.

It’s one of those film experiences that is so unsettling, from conception to execution, that saying, “Hey, I liked this movie,” runs the real risk of alienating you from friends and family.

On a more existential sort of level, I found myself, while watching Jason Bourne, becoming increasingly uncomfortable the further into the film I got.

Pontypool is an interesting idea for a movie that simply isn’t able to live up to its lofty, high-minded premise.

From top to bottom, beginning to end, the Season Six finale of Game of Thrones is one of the series’ best episodes.

What is this imposter show, and what has it done with my Game of Thrones?

So much happened this week on Game of Thrones, it’s honestly hard to know where to begin.

Several big moments and reveals combined to make this week’s Game of Thrones a fine addition to the season.

Game of Thrones will rebound next week, of that I have no doubt.

I knew—just knew—that all these warm fuzzies weren’t going to last.

All told, this episode walked a brilliant line, of plotting and setup and actual, forward-moving action.

In an hour that was long on fan service and repetition masquerading as story progression, there wasn’t much in the way of real plot development.

I’m glad, then, that Game of Thrones is not that lesser show, and gave us what we knew had to happen—and wanted to happen—so soon into the season six run.

Praise the Old Gods and the New, Game of Thrones is back, in all its bloodthirsty glory!

11.22.63 was a show that spent eight weeks going absolutely nowhere and, much like Jake, we the viewers are left at the end having gained absolutely nothing, except fleeting, cruel glimpses of what could have been.

I’m sitting here, watching the seventh and penultimate episode of 11.22.63, running through my mind all the different ways this particular hour is annoying me.

Daniel Webber continues to duel with George MacKay for the title of strongest actor on the show.

11.22.63 looks like it may finally be getting its groove back.

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?
