A review of Thor: Love and Thunder, where Gorr deserved a better film, Zeus is a punchline, and the ending hands out godhood like party favours.
A review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where the Illuminati are wasted, Wanda’s ending is another love-conquers-all cop-out, and Mordo is still missing.
Legend of the Sea Devils brings back a classic monster for a pirate adventure that never settles on a plot. Handsome, weightless, and over very quickly.
Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 3 traps the crawlers in the Iron Tangle and hands Carl a secret sabotage manual. Why The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook rules.
Dune Part One review. Arrakis finally feels real, Paul, Jessica and Leto are spot on, and my family came along without quite getting it. I loved it.
Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 2 drops Carl and Donut into the Over City, a bigger, meaner floor. Here’s why Carl’s Doomsday Scenario deepens the series.
Eve of the Daleks traps the Doctor in a nine-minute time loop in a Manchester storage facility, and it’s the most fun this era has been in ages.
My The Matrix Resurrections review: friends said it repeats the first film, and I liked that. Fewer effects, a rekindled love story. Better than 2 and 3. 3.5 to 4.
A 2021 review of Venom: Let There Be Carnage — the rave scene, Carnage’s comic-accurate arrival, and what that mid-credits stinger might mean.
The Vanquishers has to resolve every thread Flux started and does it in under an hour. Three Doctors, four villains, and almost no room to land any of it.
My Spider-Man No Way Home review: the multiverse, three Spider-Men, Aunt May, and how Tom Holland’s Peter finally becomes the comics character.
Survivors of the Flux finally explains Division and the Doctor’s lost past, then buries the answer under three more subplots racing toward the finale.
My Welcome to Raccoon City review: a reboot that squeezes two games into one night, with too much on screen and no Alice. 3.5 out of 5.
Village of the Angels strands a Weeping Angel in a Devon village in 1967 and finally lets Flux be frightening. Easily the best chapter of the run.
Once, Upon Time scatters the Doctor and her friends through their own timestreams. There are strong ideas buried in here, but the hour is hard going.
War of the Sontarans drops the Doctor into the Crimean War and gives the Sontarans their best outing in years, even as Flux keeps splitting itself apart.
The Halloween Apocalypse opens Doctor Who Flux by throwing a dozen plots at the screen at once. Dan Lewis is a fine addition, but it never breathes.
Earth becomes a galactic dungeon game show and one guy in his boxers survives. Here’s why Dungeon Crawler Carl is the funniest, meanest LitRPG around.
A review of Shang-Chi, where Simu Liu holds his own on debut, Tony Leung gives the MCU its best villain, and the bus fight raises the bar for the whole franchise.
A review of Loki season 1, where Hiddleston and Owen Wilson carry a show that turns the Infinity Stones into desk clutter and rewrites how the MCU works.
