TV Review: Chuck Season 56/12/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  It feels like saying goodbye to Chuck all over again. Welp, I guess I'll have to start watching again from the first episode. (Image Courtesy of: worldie.com) Quick Take: Chuck Season 5 is still a fun enough experience, but it does not wrap up the series with the care and attention the show promised with its early season finales. It is a forgettable mishmash of ideas that mostly serves to give fans a few more episodes with these characters.
Analyzed Film Review: I, Tonya6/8/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Margot channeling that Tonya Harding energy that says "I have no qualms with kneecapping anyone but what's the point when there's skating to be done?" (Image Courtesy of: realifereview.com) Quick Take: I, Tonya has the rough black humor of its subject matter down to a fine point, both dry and insightful. The movie flows throughout multiple skewed perspectives without ultimately ever solidly landing on an answer to the truth, guided by an engaging performance from Margot Robbie.
TV Review: Chuck Season 46/5/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Somehow, through it all, the Buy More idiots still live in this dangerous spy world. (Image Courtesy of: whatsong.org) Quick Take: Chuck Season 4 is solid throughout but never spectacular. Relying on big name actors, it does not lose the true heart of the show, but it cannot hit the same consistent highs of past seasons.
Video Game Review: Assassin's Creed6/2/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Poor Altair, the original assassin of an acclaimed franchise, forgotten for the descendant with the more refined sequel. (Image Courtesy of: microsoft.com) Quick Take: Assassin's Creed has a strong idea executed poorly. While it laid the foundation for a fantastic franchise, this is an unfinished experience that needed at least another year of development time before release. Its story does more hinting than delivering throughout.
TV Review: Chuck Season 35/30/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Sure, he's a nerd, but now he also knows kung fu. (Image Courtesy of: alphacoders.com) Quick Take: Chuck Season 3 adds extra layers to the series that are mostly welcome, though it occasionally overcomplicates too many dynamics. It is the most dramatic the series has gotten so far, which is a blessing and a curse for the show.
