Netflix Review – Living With Yourself

by

Martin Izzard reviews Netflix’s Living With Yourself… When you sit down without the intention of binging an entire new show all at once but that happens anyway, it’s pretty indicative of the impact of that series. This is absolutely the case with Living With Yourself starring Paul Rudd, Aisling Bea and Paul Rudd. Rudd is […]

The Flash Season 6 Episode 3 Review – ‘Dead Man Running’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the third episode of The Flash season 6… It appears our season long villain is starting to take shape.

The Lighthouse, 2019. Directed by Robert Eggers. Starring Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe.. SYNOPSIS: The hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. Very rarely does an absolutely perfect movie come along.

Supergirl Season 5 Episode 3 Review – ‘Blurred Lines’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl season 5… There is indecision which predominates episode three as relationships either personal or professional are neither black nor white. Much like life circumstances and outcomes are determined by multiple factors. Whether that might be an overly amorous partner, guilt ridden sibling or manipulated confidant nothing is […]
