We haven’t really spent much time with Abed and his filmmaking for quite some time. He graduated Greendale sometime between Season 4 and 5 with a film degree, but ended up re-enrolling in “Repilot”, with his only real job being a commercial for Jeff’s law firm. The last episode to spend much time on Abed…
Avengers: Age of Ultron has quite a bit of stuff that it needs to get right. It has to live up to the first movie, which was among the most entertaining superhero movies ever made. It needs to set up some new characters, like Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch, that will become important in future MCU films.…
As it nears the end of its second season, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has everything we love about it down to a science. This episode hits just about every note that we would expect from this show and which has made us laugh before: Jake being way too passionate about a case, Jake and Boyle on a…
When it was revealed that Tom Hiddleston would be appearing as Loki in Avengers: Age of Ultron, a lot of people let out an exhausted sigh. Have we not seen enough of Loki at this point? Does Marvel really need to be going back to that well again? They probably do, actually, for one simple reason: he’s one…
It Follows feels like a timeless film. While Unfriended could only exist here and now, It Follows could easily take place during almost any time in the past few decades. Director David Mitchell himself said he intentionally wanted us to be unsure about when the movie is set, often feeling like the 1970’s but with one of the characters using…
This week’s Game of Thrones episode, “The House of Black and White,” was pretty great, featuring some characters meeting for the first time, the return of Arya, and a brand new part of Westeros. The episode made a bunch of substantial chances to the source material, though. Here are some of the things that were…
Community is a show about the struggle to connect with other people. Its premise from the beginning has involved taking a group of students who couldn’t be more different, placing them together, and seeing if they’ll be able to foster a community of friends.
SPOILERS, obviously Back in 2007, Paranormal Activity was making the waves at horror festivals, and it had the perfect, creepy ending to cap off the whole experience. Sadly, that ending never made it to theaters. Oren Peli’s film has a very “home movie” feel to it so that it’s as if we’re peering into a couple’s life…
Some of the most effective horror films scare us in places that are supposed to be safe and comfortable. Halloween made us afraid of our quiet suburban towns. Jaws made us afraid of the beach. Paranormal Activity made us afraid of our bedrooms. Now, Unfriended comes along to hit us where we all really live: the Internet.
Did you enjoy your weekend in this absolutely gorgeous weather? Because I spent the entire thing inside watching the Star Wars Celebration live stream on YouTube. I’m sure a lot of you were aware of the Star Wars Celebration stream, where the Force Awakens panel was broadcast live and the newest trailer premiered. But if you’re a…
