While Syfy's latest series, Incorporated, isn't a reboot of any previous properties, but with the number of tropes it draws from it feels like it might as well be. Take a healthy dose of 1997's Gattica, and a mix of walled-garden variants (you know the ones, where a small community of have-everythings live segregated away from the rest of the have-nothing population), some Demolition Man, and a bit of Judge Dredd for good measure, and you've basically got the setup for Incorporated.

For fans of History Channel's scripted drama Vikings, it has been six full months of waiting since we went into the midseason hiatus with the episode, The
The Edge of Seventeen is the rare coming of age comedy that immediately took me in with its smart writing and relatable characters. Title: The Edge of
Hacksaw Ridge might tell an interesting story but director Mel Gibson fumbles the execution so poorly it loses all meaning. Title: Hacksaw Ridge Director:
Arrival is the smart science fiction movie that leaves you stunned and wondering if the sleight of hand lives up to the punchline. TItle: Arrival
At the end of last week's episode we had Jesus and Carl hidden in the back of a cargo truck on the way to find Negan's lair. Great, that's exciting, that means we can get down to business of dishing out some payback. We get to tonight's episode, 'Swear', and rather than picking up where we left off, we're in the middle of nowhere in an RV with.... Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Heath (Corey Hawkins)?
Title: Loving
Director: Jeff Nichols
Summary: Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple, are sentenced to prison in Virginia in 1958 for getting married.
As I mentioned in my The Eagle Huntress review, the state of mind you're in can greatly affect how you react to a movie I saw The Eagle Huntress and Loving the same day[...]

Jackie is a film that needs to be looked at from a few different perspectives: it's a biopic that looks at a time in the country's history that has become near-mythic (the events around the assassination of President Kennedy and it's immediate aftermath), and also through the eyes of the person at the center[...]

The Eagle Huntress is a beautiful documentary that shows us that girls can do anything they set their minds to. Title: The Eagle Huntress Director: Otto
Allied is a straightforward enough premise – two agents (Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard) meet up to conduct an assassination operation in 1942 Casablanca, and the two agents manage to escape back to England.. Only later do questions emerge, which side are they actually on.
Disney has long been the benchmark for brilliant family-oriented musical fare, and their newest entry, Moana, is a worthy new addition to that lineage. With an evolved animation style and set in a world that they’ve never really delved into before (unless you want to count Lilo & Stitch since it was at least set on Kaua’i).
Rating: 3.5 Stars
The Review:
We finally start getting some answers with what happened to Maggie and Sasha after the end of the season opener After having had to go through two spotlight episodes out of the last three, it seems the showrunners are in no hurry to change that trend, so this time we get to[...]

Mark Millar, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and FCO Plascencia's second issue of Reborn is a stark departure from the rocket of a first issue.
I was fond of the opening issue (would've rated it 4 out of 5, for various reasons, but mostly emotions for the protagonist) but I found a few parts of this one[...]

Southern Cross #9 is the third part of Becky Cloonan and Andy Belanger's Sci-Fi-pulp/noir themed second act, and it's a bit of a banger!
Following on from the trippy psycho-horror of the first volume, the second arc focuses on a grizzled, old detective, dragged back in to investigation after things go sour in the[...]
