The Best Riddick Story Isn’t on Netflix

Richard B. Riddickis a cool dude. He wears sunglasses all the time — welding goggles, to be specific. Never takes them off, even indoors or when prompted by the subtle gestures of polite society. He’s got a habit of stabbing people who attempt to talk to him. As a result, most people only speakofhim, in awed tones. And as played byVin Diesel, his own lines like “I bow to no man” and “The wolf moves among sheep” (both in reference to himself) are more growled than spoken....

The HBO Max Deal: How We Got Here and What It Means

After announcing plans last week to release 17 films from studio’s 2021 slate simultaneously in theaters and on its streaming service HBO Max, includingDune,The Matrix 4andThe Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. sent exhibitors into paroxysms of terror with a reminder that their industries are in business with one another but definitely not friends. Although the public’s appetite for entertainment only intensified in 2020 while locked in and sheltering at home from a raging pandemic currently entering its third wave, severely restricted or fully shuttered theaters had few options to provide ticket buyers not just with venues to attend, but new options from which to choose....

The Quarry Review: A Pat Morality Play about Sin and Penance

Sometimes knowing a story will be resolved adds dramatic stakes and the storyteller only has a limited time to payoff the narrative. But in the case ofThe Quarry, it feels like Teems is at a starting point with an obvious conclusion rather than the start of a bigger narrative that better accommodates the themes he wishes to explore....

This Russell T. Davies 'Doctor Who' Episode Is an Underrated Gem

During his first reign asDoctor Who’s showrunner,Russell T. Daviespenned 31 episodes for the series, either by himself or in collaboration with other writers. Some are among the best the BBC hit sci-fi series has to offer. That is the case withSeason 4’s companion-lite episode “Midnight” and its twin sibling,the Doctor-lite “Turn Left”. Others, such as Season 2’s “Tooth and Claw” and “Love and Monsters”, will forever live in infamy. Most of Davies’ episodes, though, are perfectly fine, run-of-the-mill adventures that might not be stellar, but still help the show build a cohesive whole....
