The Reviewinator: Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
It seems Hollywood (or maybe just Harrison Ford) is always pushing the envelope when it comes to long-awaited sequels. The original Blade Runner under-performed at the box office in 1982, but later achieved cult classic status, especially after the release of … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
Johnny Depp created one of the most iconic protagonists in cinema history with his off-the-wall portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in 2003 that earned him an Oscar nomination. Sadly, the sequels did little more than rehash the same old shtick … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Alien – Covenant (2017)
Am I the only one who’s noticed that Ridley Scott is going the George Lucas route with the Alien franchise? Not that that’s a bad thing, as he’s a far better filmmaker even on his worst day. But there has … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Marvel’s Iron Fist (Season 1)
Sometimes I don’t get myself. I’m not a comic book fan, I’m not really a superhero fan, and yet once I commit a certain amount of binge time to something, I feel the need to see it through to the … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: The Walking Dead (Season 7)
After a frustratingly-long wait following a frustratingly-deceptive Season 6 finale, the infamous P.O.V. character death is finally revealed midway through the Season 7 premiere. Does it satisfy? Does it infuriate? It all depends on which characters you’re most attached to. … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Logan (2017)
With all the comic book movies out there, none have endured as long as the X-Men franchise. Beginning in 2000, Logan/Wolverine was front and center from the get-go and he has since appeared in every single movie in the series. 17 … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Resident Evil – The Final Chapter (2017)
15 years is an impressive run for any franchise, but infinitely more impressive for one like Resident Evil that’s comprised mostly of over-the-top and mind-numbingly ridiculous entries with virtually no sense of narrative consistency whatsoever.

The Reviewinator: Rogue One – A Star Wars Story (2016)
8 movies in, not including Episode VIII (or is it 10 movies in, if you include the Ewok movies?), and we get the first non-episodic Star Wars movie, taking place between Episodes III & IV. While some may think of it as Episode 3.5, it’s more … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Ash vs. Evil Dead (Season 2)
After a very groovy first season, we’re back with Ash and his ‘Ghostbeaters’ for Season 2. Evil Dead fans got what they wanted last year, with Ash back to his chainsaw-wielding habits, slicing up hilariously over-the-top new deadites spun from … Continue reading
