What is 2019? Nobody really knows yet, so we all just have to go with the flow. There's not been much to celebrate yet, but there's so much left of the year. As far as film goes, this is especially true.

After an impactful December, January has brought almost nothing to this point. I'm starting to think there may not be a single good movie released the entire month. There's only one more week to change that.

For now, I'm still catching up on films from December as well as diving just a bit into 2019's crop of disappointment. This week, I review the Saw wannabe Escape Room, the animated remake that no one asked for Dr. Seuss' The Grinch, the dramatic historical drama On the Basis of Sex, and the indie addiction mediation Ben is Back.

Quick Take: Daredevil Season 3 elevates the series by putting its elements at the center while taking a more complicated approach to its storytelling. The acting, drama, and tension make this the most complete season of Daredevil yet.

It is rare I discuss NXT UK as the big focus of WWE. The brand has been stuck in a pretaped loop with double shows airing every week just to catch up, but now the brand has done just that, which led to its biggest show to date: NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool.

This event had almost no hype behind it, but a stellar card is good enough for me. When you've got Pete Dunne, Toni Storm, and Moustache Mountain in highly featured roles, how can I say no?

This was mostly a filler week otherwise, continuing the development toward Royal Rumble though the surprising amount of strong wrestling matches was certainly notable.

Just a pair of weeks into 2019, I can't truly say much of this year. There's much to go on. Sure, the world is slowly but surely imploding in on itself, but that's happening all the time. What really matters is what movies are coming out.

Even though I was born in January and have always liked the month, it is pretty much devoid of good films. There's the occasional good movie now and then, but nobody likes to premiere their films in the first month of a new year.

That's why I'm using this time to catch up on all the good films I missed that came out in December and had wider releases into January. These movies are the Academy Award darlings that also define this time of year.

These reviews will focus on Adam McKay's latest scathing satirical critique of America Vice, the insane period comedy The Favourite, the fascinating historical drama centered on its two main leads Saoirse Ronan and Margo Robbie Mary Queen of Scots, and the beautifully crafted James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk.

A new year brings with it new opportunities. There are a number of fascinating matches and moments on the horizon, but, for the moment, WWE is just laying the groundwork. Things are not getting serious yet.

The January 7-9 run for WWE was fairly low key. The main roster is focusing on Royal Rumble. NXT has a TakeOver the night before to build. The only real outlier is NXT UK, a brand just starting to find its wings with NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool on Saturday.

With so much just waiting to explode, it's fascinating to look over episodes like these to decide what is truly indicating the direction of WWE's biggest moments.
