Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron rehashes much of what is featured in Titanic: 20 Years Later but with one new addition. If it seems like I’m rehashing much of my review of the 2017 special, you’re not mistaken. This new special sacrifices the discussion with descendants of survivors and victims to focus on whether Jack could have survived on the door with Rose. It’s for this reason that my review grade is a…

In Titanic: 20 Years Later with James Cameron, the filmmaker takes a look back at some of the choices that were right and wrong in the film. Over 100 years following its sinking, the Titanic still fascinates people around the globe. It’s unfortunate that the wreck claimed five more lives this week with the Titan‘s catastrophic implosion. However, it also says something about people wanting to see the wreck. The technology didn’t exist to find…

The first two episodes of Secret Invasion leave one wondering just how much this series will change up Marvel’s status quo. I want to get this out of the way first: two episodes are not enough to judge the limited series. Marvel sent out press screeners for the first two episodes but the series is six episodes in length. Basically, I’m only able to offer my thoughts on Secret Invasion‘s first two hours at this…

Pike’s Peak is back and so is the rest of the crew as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns for its second season on Paramount+. The studio sent the first six episodes of the season to press. Unfortunately, the Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover is later in the season. If the first six episodes are indication, this season has no shortage of thrills and entertainment. I know streaming offers a chance at driving in subscriptions…

While Anne Frank’s story will be forever known thanks to her diary, A Small Light focuses on the woman who helped the Franks, Miep Gies. “I don’t like being called a hero, because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others. Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room.” – Miep Gies (Bel Powley) Anne Frank’s story has…

Star Trek: Picard nails the landing with a beautiful send-off for the Star Trek: TNG cast in the series finale episode, “The Last Generation.” Spoilers will follow for Star Trek: Picard. There is a mid-credit scene. I admit to being late to watching anything Star Trek. But regardless, I still recognize the big moments on the series. Take the end of last week’s episode. When one sees Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and company walking onto…

There were no real surprises in the season finale of The Mandalorian although the episode ran well shorter than preferred. Spoilers follow for Chapter 24 of The Mandalorian. There are no mid- or post-credit scenes. While the episode brought the action, there were at least a good ten minutes of credits (including all of the foreign language credits). I thought maybe we’d get a tease at the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn ahead of Ahsoka…

Chapter 23 heralds the long-awaited return of a certain antagonist in the penultimate episode as The Mandalorian winds down its third season. Spoilers follow for Chapter 23 of The Mandalorian. It was only a matter of time. Grand Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) had to show his face sooner than later. It was either going to be in Chapter 23 or 24. Let’s face it–making his appearance in the season finale would have made no sense.…
