MCU Eternals Actor Harry Styles – What You Need To Know
The news broke over the weekend that Harry Styles has landed a “$100m five film deal” as part of the MCU. Now I’m taking this news with a humongous pinch of salt because it was announced in two papers; one was the Daily Mail, which is famously untruthful, and the other was Metro, a free…

A Jurassic Park Short: Battle at Big Rock (YES, it’s canon)
If you haven’t yet, watch the canon Jurassic World short: Battle at Big Rock. The main thing to understand is that this takes place officially and immediately after the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and before Jurassic World Dominion. SPOILERS: Don’t read any further if you have not seen JW2: Fallen Kingdom, or don’t…

Movie Review – Downton Abbey: A New Era
Downton Abbey 2: A New Era is a beautiful mess. It absolutely did what it set out to do, which is provide comfort viewing for long-time fans. With six seasons, two movies now, and a cast that won’t quit growing, casual fans will probably just be stopping by for the costumes and pageantry. Fortunately, those…

You’re saying it wrong: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator
Of course, the wacky people in Britland can’t be bothered to say superhero actor Benedict Cumberbatch properly. It’s too much effort and a lot more fun to get it astoundingly, satisfyingly wrong. Cumberbatch — er, Cumberbund? — seems okay with this. Say his real name enough times and you start wondering what is correct,…

Accidental Rewatch Movie Review: A Merry Friggin Christmas (2014)
—
Let me get this off my chest: A Merry Friggin Christmas is a terrible movie. It’s even worse to compute, knowing the absolute talent behind it. Here’s my experience: after a first watch — then re-watch immediately again — of Dan Harmon’s cult classic Community, I wanted more of the same humor, heart, and…

Movie Review – Uncharted
—
Cute, cute, cute. Stir together several heapings of The Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, fold in Tom Holland’s Spidey-like chattiness, and Uncharted is a tasty treat hitting the theaters right now. Indiana Jones is personally name-dropped, because, how could it NOT be, when the leads are crawling around ancient…

Movie Review – Death on the Nile
—
Really disappointing, especially as I liked Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express (2017) so very much. As in Orient, Death on the Nile is fabulously scenic and lush, with a great cast that seems to be trying to make a better movie out of this. Maybe at two hours and seven minutes, the movie is just too long…

Movie Review – The King’s Daughter
—
Adorable, charming, lush, great storytelling. I was super surprised at the loving care shown to detail in this little movie. The King’s Daughter was incredibly good-natured. I found myself smiling the whole way through; a rarity. That’s when I realized this might be A+ territory. Pierce Brosnan (as the Sun King, Louis XIV himself) has never been…
