'Crossbones' Forces Blackbeard into Action [This is review of Crossbones season 1, episode 4. There will be SPOILERS.] - In its fourth outing, entitled ‘Antoinette,’ Crossbones continues to astound and baffle in a seamless fashion. There are moments of brilliance, only to be followed by perplexities that defy explanation. What does creator Neil Cross (Luther) want us to take from this series? As with the premiere, Crossbones excels during its more intimate moments, which sadly take place primarily with the male leads, while our leading women are stuck performing acts suited for a mostly-male viewing audience. These strong beautiful ladies are capable of so much more, if only Mr. Cross would give them something interesting to do. Before focusing too intently on the negatives, let us examine the moments where Crossbones sparkles. ...

With incredible performances from leads Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, breathtaking direction from Cary Fukunaga, and a premise which can be restarted each season to fit the anthology structure, True Detective is on the verge of being HBO’s next greatest hit. Yet, it may not be around long enough to garner the same accolades awarded to HBO’s other long-running series like The Sopranos or Game of Thrones. A few weeks back at the Banff World Media Festival, creator Nic Pizzolatto suggested three seasons could be it for the gritty procedural. And considering Pizzolatto is the ...

Read More Michael Bay Responds to 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' Critics Although Transformers: Age of Extinction has been in theaters for little more than a day, that's certainly enough time for franchise naysayers to voice their opinions of the film – check out the comments section on our review of the movie for some examples. Age of Extinction's Rotten Tomatoes rating, a lowly 18 percent (6 percent if only the top critics are concerned) seems to fall in line with the opinions of the detractors, but the movie's audience rating, 65 percent, seems to agree with our own rating of the movie: 3.5 out of 5 stars. The director of the Transformers franchise, Michael Bay, has responded to those who were less than impressed by ...

There will be SPOILERS.]  - Amid the controversial whispers of why The Legend of Korra season 3 (Book 3: Change) premiered ahead of schedule, one might wonder if the quality of the series would suffer for it? Fortunately, team avatar has never looked better in this spectacular three-part premiere. It’s still too early to say how the show’s ratings will be affected, with such a short window for the network to promote the new season, but for fans (this reviewer included) seeking answers from last year’s thrilling finale, this is a blessing we didn’t see coming. With ... Click to continue reading ‘The Legend of Korra’ Season 3 Premiere Review: Change Is in the Air Read More 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Early Reactions – A Blockbuster Masterpiece? When Rise of the Planet of the Apes released in 2011, audiences and critics alike were as surprised by its emotional beats as they were the heartlfelt performance Andy Serkis managed to bring to his motion-captured, digitally-rendered ape, Caesar. The film wasn’t without its flaws – as we noted in our own review – but the film proved to be more than mindless, science fiction camp. Its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, releases in two weeks and expectations are high for the film to not only raise the stakes for the apes and humans trying to coexist, creating ...
