I started to like Yaz a lot better after she fell in love with The Doctor and started calling her on some of her secretive, manipulative behavior. It felt like the writers figured out that character way too late.

All the thirty year old actors are off playing high schoolers.

This was a wonderful set-up for the Doctor and the new companion. I don’t mind RTD’s goofier tendencies (look, I mostly love the John Nathan-Turner era of the show, who am I to judge?), though the man will always go for big and showy rather than logical when it comes to tying up plots. The whole frame here (hooded…

Eilish was charming and touching in both musical performances. The joke swap is reliably funny. The skits were mostly just kind of pleasant. My favorite mode of McKinnon is where she’s playing barely controlled manic insanity and except for the elf there wasn’t much of that. Except for the Meet Me in St. Louis bit,…

Romano has turned into a pretty reliable dramatic actor. I like ELR but I’m much more interested in seeing him do something different.

I thought Raphael was great and fit perfectly into a classic Frasier farce. 

Now I'm wondering what Cox has made for these last several movies. She's never been a huge movie star but she's the remaining cornerstone character and I can't imagine Monica Geller ever needs to work again.

I’m a big Disney animation fan and, yes, this is easily their weakest theatrical film since Chicken Little or Dinosaur. The songs are duds, the characters are one note (or less - how did the company which made a flying carpet an expressive character bomb so badly with Star?), and the whole plot makes very little sense…

Spoilers, I guess . . . I found parts of the fourth episode quite moving but the “talking to dead people” moments were odd. The scene between the Fayeds was well acted and made emotional sense - in his grief, he’s questioning the pressure he put on his son but he can’t help but focus on his own feelings. The…

Isn't it DaCosta with Da and not De?

My theater had a surprisingly high percentage of families with fairly young kids, all of whom seemed to love it. It's not a good movie but I always enjoy Matthew Lillard, so there's that.

Saw The Nightmare Before Christmas re-release one thin theater wall over from the Taylor Swift movie. Was hoping for some Wizard of Oz / Pink Floyd style sync up between the two but unfortunately didn’t happen.

It might have been funnier to make David more like Daphne and less like Niles. Give Frasier an entire younger generation to be befuddled by. 

I would love to hear an explanation of how that remotely applies to Kundun or The Age of Innocence or Silence or even Hugo. It's such a lazy generalization.

The Planet Sex documentary series Delevingne hosted wasn't great but she was quite charming in it. Made me wish her film roles captured some of that.

I really liked Demeter but it could have used an edit. The first few minutes and the last few are just connective tissue you don't really need.

“Bug" seems to be highly divisive but I think Shannon and Judd are great in it and his direction is so intense.

Truly one of the most beautiful voices and capable of such emotional depth. 

I really liked Debicki on The Crown but she was pretty clearly the lead character of the season. Calling her supporting is silly. 

Whatever valid points this may or may not be making, filing this as a “news” story is absurd. This is an opinion piece through and through.
