As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Discounting 2020, you have to go all the way back 2012 for the last time only one MCU movie was released. Again, not counting 2020, every year from 2017 onward had three releases – except for 2021, which had four. That puts a lot of […]

FEDERER: TWELVE FINAL DAYS Review – Great, Now I’m Crying Again
I don’t even know how to begin to describe what Roger Federer has meant to me over the years. His first Grand Slam win – 2003 Wimbledon – just so happened to coincide with the summer I decided to start taking tennis seriously (once I accepted my ceiling as a high school baseball player was […]
HIT MAN Review
Are you happy with your life? Do you like who you have become? If not, can you change, truly change your circumstances and who you are? These are two questions central to Richard Linklater’s Hit Man. The new Netflix film, co-written by Linklater and star Glen Powell, is loosely adapted from a Texas Monthly article […]
FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA Review
I’m not often the biggest fan of prequels, especially in action-oriented movies. You already know the fates of any major characters who show up later in the “present day” stories. It forces the filmmakers into a more difficult position, creating tension, drama, thrills from other aspects of the plot and other characters. That’s the dilemma […]
‘Survivor 46’ Finale Recap: “Friends Going To War”
Survivor needed a shot in the arm. The “new era” has been lacking. I don’t need to get into all the details (again) as to why that is. And then Survivor 46 came along, and oh buddy. What a fun, funny, messy season this was. Strategy may not have been top-level, but with a cast […]
‘Survivor 46’ Episode 12 Recap: “Mamma Bear”
Nuinui After the vote, Ben admits to voting Kenzie. His explanation is…something. His mind drew a blank, and genuinely didn’t know who to vote for, and somehow landed on Kenzie. He even says this in a confessional, so he must be telling the truth. Just wild. Maria breaks down on the beach while talking to […]
‘Survivor 46’ Episode 10 Recap: “Run The Red Light”
Nuinui Liz was left out of the vote and is doing her best to keep it together. She confronts the group back at camp, asking what about her made nobody want to include her. They try to stave her off, assuring her the plan came together just right before Tribal Council. But the tribe still […]
‘Survivor 46’ Episode 7 Recap: “Episode Several”
Now that the “Earn the Merge” Tribal Council is done, we are officially merged. But not is all happy back at camp. Venus is trying to figure out who threw out the one vote for her. She immediately assumes it was Soda. In fact, it’s not even an assumption. She takes it as a known […]
‘Survivor 46’ Episode 6 Recap: “Cancel Christmas”
At Siga, Moriah is feeling the heat after the Jem vote. She was left out of the plan, and still voted for Ben. Moriah is trying to find the silver lining in that she was not voted for. There was no vote split with her as the backup. It might not mean much, if anything, […]
‘Survivor 46’ Episode 5 Recap: “Tiki Man”
Yanu Back at the Yanu camp, Tiffany, Q, and Kenzie collect themselves after finally voting out Bhanu (or, not voting him out as Jeff ruined that part, but I digress). Tiffany is probably sitting best within this three. She’s closer to Kenzie than Q is, and is closer to Q than Kenzie. If they lose […]
