65 [Blu-Ray Review]: It Was Earth All Along!

Hoping to perhaps parlay his involvement in one of the biggest franchises of all time into leading man/action/sci-fi hero, Adam Driver's prehistoric sci-fi actioner 65 was a decent sci-fi film that unfortunately came and went in theaters perhaps before an audience could be rallied in support of it. I, for one, missed it in …

BLACK MIRROR [Season 5 Premiere Review]: Striking Vipers.

Charlie Brooker's Twilight Zone pastiche, Black Mirror, recently premiered its fifth season on Netflix. Unlike prior seasons, the most recent is considerably shorter in length, but boasts greater star power.

JURASSIC WORLD – FALLEN KINGDOM [Film Review]: Man-Made Monsters.

Similar to how Star Wars: The Force Awakens was too nostalgic for its own good rather than providing a viable reason to return to these beloved characters and this world that is executed as nothing more than a gargantuan cash cow, Jurassic World was shackled to being more homage to the previous films instead of …
