Things Once Seen: Sun Choke

Joshua Mattern
January 23, 2017
Things Once Seen
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the performances of all three principal actors are amazing.

Things Once Seen: Ouija: Origin of Evil

Joshua Mattern
December 27, 2016
Things Once Seen
And that’s sort of my impression of Ouija: Origin of Evil. It was an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes.

Things Once Seen: We Are What We Are

Joshua Mattern
December 12, 2016
Things Once Seen
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.

Things Once Seen: Jason Bourne

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

Things Once Seen: Pontypool

Joshua Mattern

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

Game of Thrones 6.10 “The Winds of Winter”

Joshua Mattern
July 1, 2016
Reviews, TV
From top to bottom, beginning to end, the Season Six finale of Game of Thrones is one of the series’ best episodes.

Game of Thrones 6.09 “Battle of the Bastards”

Joshua Mattern
June 24, 2016
Reviews, TV
What is this imposter show, and what has it done with my Game of Thrones?

Game of Thrones 6.08 “No One”

Joshua Mattern
June 17, 2016
Reviews, TV
So much happened this week on Game of Thrones, it’s honestly hard to know where to begin.

Game of Thrones 6.07 “The Broken Man”

Joshua Mattern
June 10, 2016
Reviews, TV
Several big moments and reveals combined to make this week’s Game of Thrones a fine addition to the season.

Game of Thrones 6.06 “Blood of my Blood”

Joshua Mattern
June 3, 2016
Reviews, TV
Game of Thrones will rebound next week, of that I have no doubt.

Game of Thrones 6.05 “The Door”

Joshua Mattern
May 27, 2016
Reviews, TV
I knew—just knew—that all these warm fuzzies weren’t going to last.

Game of Thrones 6.04 “Book of the Stranger”

Joshua Mattern
May 20, 2016
Reviews, TV
All told, this episode walked a brilliant line, of plotting and setup and actual, forward-moving action.

Game of Thrones 6.03 “Oathbreaker”

Joshua Mattern
May 13, 2016
Reviews, TV
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.

Game of Thrones 6.02 “Home”

Joshua Mattern
May 6, 2016
Reviews, TV
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.

Game of Thrones 6.01 “The Red Woman”

Joshua Mattern
April 29, 2016
Reviews, TV
Praise the Old Gods and the New, Game of Thrones is back, in all its bloodthirsty glory!

11.22.63 1.08 “The Day in Question”

Joshua Mattern
April 11, 2016
Reviews, TV
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.

11.22.63 1.07 “Soldier Boy”

Joshua Mattern
April 4, 2016
Reviews, TV
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.

11.22.63 1.06 “Happy Birthday, Lee Harvey Oswald”

Joshua Mattern
March 28, 2016
Reviews, TV
Daniel Webber continues to duel with George MacKay for the title of strongest actor on the show.

11.22.63 1.05 “The Truth”

Joshua Mattern
March 19, 2016
Reviews, TV
11.22.63 looks like it may finally be getting its groove back.

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?
