No Number of Avengers Can Save the Boring, Unfunny Dolittle

Just when I thought Dolittle couldn’t get any less funny or idiotic, Robert Downey Jr. sticks his arms up a dragon’s asshole. And I do mean that literally. Why does this happen, do you ask? Well, it’s because the dragon is angry, and thanks to Dolittle’s ability to speak to animals, he realizes that after…

Good Omens‘ Aziraphale and Crowley Have a Very Nice and Queer Thing Going On

“Hard Times,” the third episode of Amazon’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens, is unique among the miniseries’ six, tightly-packed episodes because it slows down for a breath to take a look back at Aziraphale and Crowley’s curiously long-lived friendship. It’s one that dates back to their early days as two of…

Good Omens Is a Delightful Apocalypse We’d Be So Lucky to Live Through

The present-day pop cultural landscape in which Amazon’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens premieres is in a curious, apocalypse-obsessed state that Agnes Nutter would have found quaint, but fascinating all the same. Epic films and television shows about hapless heroes attempting to avert or prevent the prophesized end times are a…

In the New Good Omens Trailer, the Apocalypse Is a Party and Everyone’s Invited

Apostle Is a Creepy, Tense Thriller From the Director of The Raid

When you think of director Gareth Evans two words come to mind: The Raid. Film fans know and adore the filmmaker because of those two absolutely incredible Indonesian action films, but now, four years after The Raid 2, Evans is back with a film that’s about as far from those movies as possible. The film…

Tron Legacy is a colossal failure of movie-making

Back in 1982, Tron zapped us into a whole new world of storytelling. You can still feel the love, and excitement, on every frame of that movie. So it’s sad that Tron Legacy turns those thrills into snoozes. Spoilers ahead. Update: I saw Tron Legacy a second time last night, as part of the io9/Gizmodo…

Tron: Legacy is almost upon us, and by this point I’ll take whatever I can get. Like, say, classy British actor Michael Sheen, a pretty lady, and a too-brief glimpse of Daft Punk. Sure, it’s no jousting lightcycles or behind-the-scenes or extended trailer. But it’s reassuring that even the talkier parts of Tron are at…
