When American Horror Story: Freak Show premiered with an uncharacteristically subdued and deliberate storytelling style, I was cautiously optimistic that it would retain this coherence throughout its entire run. The slow pacing and haunting setting created an atmosphere of dread that was a welcome change from the frenzied and breakneck pace of the preceding seasons. […]
The 2008/2009 anime series Michiko & Hatchin is a bright, vibrant action series and Part One of the DVD collection contains the first 11 episodes of the 22 episode show. Michiko Malandro is a harden criminal who escapes from a maximum security prison. Hana is a 9-year-old girl who lives with an abusive foster family […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show returns from a brief hiatus with another not so frightening hour. The episode doesn’t waste time in expanding on the more shocking development of the previous hour by showing how Jimmy’s lobster hands ended up in the morbidity museum and it goes on to tell the harrowing aftermath of the […]
Rogues’ Gallery was nice returning episode for Gotham this week. The audience finally got a peek at the workings inside of Arkham and it was as expected. Although the kookiness could have gone a little further, it was still pretty nuts. Yet, there was one good thing that came out of all that: a solid […]
Here it is folks. The end. The Legend of Korra wrapped up this week with “Day of the Colossus” and “The Last Stand”. Honestly, it was a pretty solid ending. Most of fears for the ending didn’t appear, it was thoroughly enjoying, and — ignoring the ending everyone’s talking about — was pretty satisfying. Were […]
When it was announced that American Horror Story: Freak Show would feature Pepper, a beloved character from a previous American Horror Story season, most of us were intrigued and excited about the idea. Even though we had been told that each season was set in its own contained universe, this tie in would serve […]
Nick once again comes across a Coyotl but this time it transforms into the Hispanic urban legend, the Chupacabra. This is not the first episode in which they have tackled a Hispanic urban legend: season two’s La Llorona comes to mind. The Coyotl in its true nature already eats animals and people but apparently once […]
The Legend of Korra continued its final season this week with “Kuvira’s Gambit”. It was a marked increase from last week and a good sign for the remaining two episodes. We see a pretty solid twist, some cool action set pieces, and an eyeful of the actual consequences of using a superweapon. Take notes humanity. […]
Constantine heads to Mexico in this latest installment. When a freaky, long-fingered being snatches a newborn baby and gruesomely kills the mother from a convent hospital, it is up to John to uncover the mystery and rescue the innocent child. As many of the series’ episodes, the supernatural story is introduced in an effective way. […]
It became very clear early on in American Horror Story: Freak Show that the season had a Jimmy Darling problem. As soon as the writers had him speechifying over a dead policeman’s body about the importance of their “freak” family and how they all need to protect one another, we knew exactly what the character […]
