Assigned with allocating financial resources to the victims of the tragedy, Feinberg and his firm’s head of operations, Camille Biros (Amy Ryan), face the impossible task of determining the worth of a life to help the families who had suffered incalculable losses. When Feinberg locks horns with Charles Wolf (Stanley Tucci), a community organizer mourning the death of his wife, his initial cynicism turns to compassion as he begins to…

Link Tank: Is Sundance Festival Film Mayday Worth a Watch?

New DVD release, , , ,
Mayday, one of this year’s Sundance Festival lineup, tells the compelling story of a woman trying to piece together her fragmented memories. “The situations that bring Ana, the disoriented heroine of writer-director Karen Cinorre’s Mayday, to the movie’s remote, windswept island are as disturbing as they are integral to the movie’s message of survival. After losing herself in a storm of the world’s brutality, Ana comes to on a seemingly deserted island, unsure of what’s happened, and fuzzy on the details about her past.” Read more at Gizmodo.

Link Tank: Is Walker on The CW Worth Watching?

New DVD release, ,
Supernatural star Jared Padalecki’s new CW show, Walker, has premiered, but this Walker: Texas Ranger reboot doesn’t exactly wow. “There are many moments in the pilot of Walker where someone talks about how Cordell Walker doesn’t play by the rules. He’s got his own way of doing things, you see, and he’s not like other Texas Rangers etcetera. The new series, a reboot of the Chuck Norris-led Walker: Texas Ranger, is extremely focused on building up the titular hero but at times that comes at the expense of actually making him a hero we want to root for.” Read more…

Link Tank: Is Shadow in the Cloud Worth Watching?

New DVD release, , ,
Shadow in the Cloud, directed by Roseanne Liang and starring Chloë Grace Moretz, is a surprisingly complex movie for its premise. “For a movie about a woman fighting a giant creature on an airplane during World War II, Shadow in the Cloud is surprisingly complex. It’s basically two movies; one is a claustrophobic, paranoid thriller with a character in a single location under intense distress, the second a swashbuckling adventure film that gives Indiana Jones and Spider-Man a run for their money.” Read more at Gizmodo. Reports of The Mandalorian Season 3 suggest that we may see more of Pedro…

Why Evil is the Only TV Procedural Worth Watching

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
This Evil article contains spoilers. You can read a spoiler-free review of the show here. Who knows what evils lie at the heart of CBS’s Evil? Shadows know. We consulted a book of shadows (not the one Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson) skims, too many spoilers there) to cut into the left ventricle of the darkness feeding the network’s supernatural series, now in production for season 2. The blood of the police procedural pumps through the veins of the paranormal investigation show, but Evil transcends the statutes of those limitations. Occasionally by papal decree. The series is intelligent, filled with symbolism,…

Link Tank: Is the Destroy All Humans Remake Worth a Play?

New DVD release, , ,
The revived Destroy All Humans game is fun and flashy, but its outdated design and its overly faithfulness to the original are a letdown. “Efforts to preserve this forgotten series are admirable, but Destroy All Humans is the perfect example of what can go wrong when reviving an aging B-grade game. An overall low-budget feel and outdated design make Destroy All Humans feel like a relic that would have benefited more from a full-on modern reimagining rather than a remake that’s faithful to a fault.” Read more at Inverse. Vincenzo Natali’s horror flick Splice, released in 2009 and now available…
