This is an engaging film, but one that also comes with some content speed bumps. (PG-13)

This unsettling take on the Brothers Grimm’s creepy fairy-tale brims like a boiling cauldron with creepy occultism and problematic messages. (PG-13)

Movie Review: The Last Full Measure 31.01.2020

This R-rated Vietnam War movie won’t be for everyone. But for those who choose to see this redemptive story of heroism and sacrifice, I can’t imagine them walking out of the theater with a dry eye. (R)

TV Review: Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 30.01.2020

NBC's musical comedy has good acting and great singing, but you still have to dig through the dirt before you hit gold.

Game Review: Sparklite 29.01.2020

Sparklite is a “roguelite” game of good versus evil. But what exactly does that mean? (E10+)

Music Review: Selena Gomez-Rare 27.01.2020

Selena Gomez’s third album splits the difference between messiness and maturity.

Movie Review: Troop Zero 24.01.2020

For a PG-rated flick about empowering children, this Amazon Original felt far more mature than its previews let on.

While way toned down from the movies, this animated adventure still hits some speed bumps.

Game Review: Darksiders Genesis 22.01.2020

DVD Review: The Addams Family 21.01.2020

The filmmakers' attempt to stitch together a living, breathing, heartfelt story ends up as a crypt full of predictable and potty-humored silliness. (PG)

Music Review: Camila Cabello-Living Proof 20.01.2020

Camila says her new release is about "being intimate with the person you're in love with." Enough said.

Movie Review: Dolittle (2020) 17.01.2020

The titular character in this Netflix show claims to be the second coming. But the show itself is both provocative and problematic.

This curiosity is less a traditional game and more like the interactive imaginings of an especially creative preschooler. (E10+)

DVD Review: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 14.01.2020

Despite its strong redemptive themes, this sequel’s intense-but-sanitized violence might still be too much for sensitive viewers. (PG)
