Movie: The Farewell 26.07.2019

Game Review: The Sinking City 24.07.2019

Music Review: Chris Brown- Indigo 22.07.2019

Chris Brown insists Indigo is about "energy, love, light and happiness." But it's also about sex, profanity and materialism.

Blog: Discord 17.07.2019

This free gaming chat app has a tendency to live up to its name.

DVD Review: Shazam! 16.07.2019

Shazam!, like its namesake hero—much like us all, really—is a bundle of contradictions. (PG-13)

Music Review: Ava Max-"Sweet but Psycho" 15.07.2019

"Sweet but Psycho" is short on sweetness but long on psychosis.

TV Review: Archer 11.07.2019

It appears that FX has issued its silly and salacious animated superspy with a license to appall.

Game Review: Harry Potter: Wizards Unite 10.07.2019

DVD Review: Little 09.07.2019

There are a lot of sweet moments in this film. But those sentiments don't outweigh this movie's PG-13 content issues. (PG-13)

Six years after breaking up, the Jonas Brothers return with an album that's more mature in every sense of that word.

Movie Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home 05.07.2019

Far From Home is a fun, serviceable superhero flick. But like Peter Parker’s European vacation, it contains some unwelcome surprises, too. (PG-13)

TV Review: Big Hero 6: The Series 04.07.2019

Based on the Oscar-winning movie, this TV show features some mild name calling, slightly frightening villains and a whole lot of heart.

Game Review: Gato Roboto 03.07.2019

Gato Roboto is an E-rated platformer that's easy to start and stop, and one that doesn't suck up weeks of gameplay time. (E)

DVD Review: The Best of Enemies 02.07.2019

It’s frighteningly easy to hate a group. It’s harder to hate a person. (PG-13)

NF's latest single begins in a pretty dark place but journeys toward a much brighter, more hopeful one by the end.

Movie Review: Yesterday 28.06.2019

What if, through an odd twist of fate, you were the only person on Earth who remembered The Beatles? What if you could claim their iconic songs as your own? This romantic fable answers those questions sweetly and (at times) profanely, too. (PG-13)

TV Review: Good Omens 27.06.2019

This Amazon Prime miniseries seems like it needs to be carted away in its own handbasket.
