Scooter Downey is the director of It’s In The Blood (eir first dip into the full-length pool), and stocks eir film with the perfect blend of veteran and up and coming actors. Lance Henriksen has been all over the map with eir previous films, which include Alien and The Terminator; It’s In The Blood is a tremendously chilling film, and showcases the darkness of humanity. I feel that the backdrop…

If The Sweeney has a very 70’s-cop-drama-feel that’s for good reason – it was based on the 70’s British TV show of the same name. This updated version gives a nod to greats of the genre like Serpico and French Connection, but also owes a debt to more modern classics like Layer Cake and even Reservoir Dogs (minus the gore). The movie follows a group of London detectives that are part of the cloistered Flying Squad that investigates…
On a good month, we receive about 10 different action / martial arts titles. There are a number of companies that focus on providing these movies for the English market. Many of them are atrocious, but Woochi Demon Slayer is so much better than the average action fare that it is not funny. The key reason for this distinction comes in the quality of the script; the plot will…
While Game of Throne’s King Joffrey has become shorthand in describing TV villains, Kelsey Grammer’s Mayor Tom Kane – from the Starz series Boss – is arguably just as evil and just as much fun to watch.

GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is a documentary that looked to capture the unique tenor that the titular promotion had. The production was on par with the regional federations at its time (GLOW was formed in 1985), while the vignettes and characters seemed to forecast the New Generation era of the WWE. While the wrestlers were a blend of trained and actresses, there was no…
Gabriel Iglesias has evolved considerably since eir initial stand-up specials. I feel that what has changed the most is Iglesias’s pacing. There never was an issue to be had with the material or the interaction that ey had with the audience, but Iglesias does well in Aloha Fluffy to ratchet things up considerably and establish a strong cadence for each joke. What results in Aloha Fluffy is bar none one…

The show itself has legs, keeping things fresh even after the completion of two full seasons. The show has a tremendous knack at resolving…
