The last animated movie I saw, Coco, was one of the best I’ve seen it years, so Ferdinand would have a hard time living up to it…but it made a really good effort of getting there. From a young age Ferdinand wasn’t like the other bulls…while they were all headbutting with their freshly grown horns, …

Sneaky Pete released Season 2 on Amazon almost three weeks ago…which is an eon ago in terms of “binge watch television”. But getting released in the same weekend as Jessica Jones and Love didn’t do it any favors. But despite dropping to Number 3 on my watch list for the weekend, this season kept up …
The latest (and last?) Pitch Perfect movie is an entertaining watch, but definitely not the best of the trilogy. The music, as always, is on-point, with a great variety of songs, and they do most of them justice. But they forced a riff-off into this movie, and while it did add musical instruments to the …
The trio behind Workaholics (Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson and Anders Holm) have made a Netflix movie, that is basically Die Hard: With a Dirty Vengeance. Our three characters are housekeepers in a hotel, and terrible at their jobs, but they want to do more, and they may get their opportunity when their crazy perverted boss assigns them to the …
RokBlok: A Different Spin on Vinyl. The idea is great: A Bluetooth speaker/transmitter that you place on top of a record, allowing you to play it wherever you’d like. No turntable needed. But Pink Donut was a little bit off on their first try at this idea…and when I reached out for help, they quickly turned …
Thor: Ragnarok, the second most recent Marvel movie, before Black Panther was a semi-enjoyable movie…but mostly a giant bore. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returns home to Asgard to find Loki (Tom Hiddleston) pretending to be King after exiling Oden. When they go to bring Oden back home, they discover their sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) who brings death …
In 2017 Netflix produced The Standups, a series of up-and-comers given their own short stand-up specials, a chance to show their wares, without getting a full hour special (like the recent ones of Ricky Gervais and Chris Rock). While some of last season’s had their moments, others were absolute duds. This year follows a similar theme, but …
Collateral is a Netflix Limited Series, together with the BBC2, using just four episodes to tell the story. A pizza delivery went wrong, as the delivery man is shot leaving the house…was it a murder? A targeted hate crime? Or was it somehow tied to a Labour Party member? The show is quick paced and an …
Gad Elmaleh, a Moroccan-French-Jewish comedian, has shown up on Netflix for his first English comedy special. He discusses speaking a foreign language and learning the terminology, most importantly putting the right emphasis on the right syllable (that line works better orally…it’s all written the same); as well as the differences between Americans and French/Moroccans…from how cabs work …
Love is back for a third (and what’s supposed to be final) season. Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) have turned their relationship into one that people can seemingly strive for, but they can’t seem to escape from Randy and Bertie (Mike Mitchell and Claudia O’Doherty), and a getaway to Palm Springs may be the right …
