4.0 Advance Review: Ant-Man (2015) Blu-ray Paul Brian McCoy November 29, 2015 DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews If you're looking for grim and gritty, Ant-Man is not the movie you're looking for.
4.5 Ant-Man (2015) Jeffrey Roth July 20, 2015 Movies, Reviews Well, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I heartily recommend Ant-Man.
3.0 The Strain 1.12 “Last Rites” Paul Brian McCoy October 5, 2014 Reviews, TV It’s a nice moment both narratively and visually for The Strain, allowing director Peter Weller to really shine, despite the dullness of a lackluster script.
2.8 The Strain 1.11 “The Third Rail” Paul Brian McCoy October 4, 2014 Reviews, TV And unfortunately, so far in The Strain (11 episodes in to a 13-episode season!!) we’re being teased with classic vampire action, but are being hampered by clichés and characters that just don’t add anything to the story.
3.0 The Strain 1.10 “Loved Ones” Paul Brian McCoy September 21, 2014 Reviews, TV On the plus side, when it was good, it was really good. Unfortunately it also meandered around, wasted a lot of time, and fell back on a couple of what are becoming standardized Strain clichés.
2.5 The Strain 1.09 “The Disappeared” Paul Brian McCoy September 18, 2014 Reviews, TV The Master just isn’t scary. And that’s the biggest failing of this episode.
4.5 The Strain 1.08 “Creatures of the Night” Paul Brian McCoy September 11, 2014 Reviews, TV Co-creator Chuck Hogan returns to scripting this episode and crafts the best installment of The Strain so far.
4.0 The Strain 1.07 “For Services Rendered” Paul Brian McCoy September 10, 2014 Reviews, TV It’s the most bad-ass moment in the series so far, and I immediate want more of Quinlan.
3.0 The Strain 1.06 “Occultation” Paul Brian McCoy August 28, 2014 Reviews, TV Honestly, the quicker they get to a full-on Vampire Apocalypse, the better.
3.5 The Strain 1.05 “Runaways” Paul Brian McCoy August 21, 2014 Reviews, TV It seems like he’d have more of a handle on the new recruits, otherwise what’s the big deal with the impending eclipse?
3.5 The Strain 1.04 “It’s Not for Everyone” Paul Brian McCoy August 10, 2014 Reviews, TV All in all, things are moving at a brisk pace and with two-thirds of the season still to come, things are going to be getting darker and darker.
4.0 The Strain 1.03 “Gone Smooth” Paul Brian McCoy August 3, 2014 Reviews, TV Any Mighty Boosh fans can be rest assured, the phrase "smooth as the bonnet of a Porsche" was bandied around my house for the next few days.
4.0 The Strain 1.02 “The Box” Paul Brian McCoy July 27, 2014 Reviews, TV Has it really been since the 1979 Tobe Hooper directed 'Salem's Lot miniseries since there were scary vampires on television?
2.5 The Strain 1.01 “Night Zero” Paul Brian McCoy July 15, 2014 Reviews, TV I just hope that the dodgy CG effects and Corey Stoll's wig are reined in as the series progresses.
