Written by: Kevin Berge  When does the T-Rex get the credit he deserves and his own top billing in a gritty solo film? (Image Courtesy of: hypebeast.com) Quick Take: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has an identity problem, struggling to find its tone and genre. While beautifully shot and filled with strong individual moments, it lacks a cohesive narrative or strong enough characters to feel like anything more than a set-up for a better idea to come.
2018 Film Review: Incredibles 27/14/2018 Written by: Kevin Berge  Jack-Jack vs. the raccoon is going to be the focus on the third in the trilogy. (Image Courtesy of: geektyrant.com) Quick Take: Incredibles 2 has all the charm, wit, and depth of its predecessor even while it feels much less timely. It is hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this film regardless of age even if its story is a bit stretched in focus.
Written by: Kevin Berge (All Images Courtesy of: WWE.com The road to Extreme Rules is paved by disappointing go-home shows. I really wish WWE would prove me wrong on that front, but they haven't been able to pull off a competent lead-in to a major event in years. I remember a time where go-home shows were the highlight of the WWE month. It shouldn't be hard. You just have rivals get in each other's faces, maybe throw a few punches. At the end of the day, you want to make people beg for more. Instead, it just feels like WWE is begging for the pay-per-view to just get here already. It's not all bad. At least 205 Live and NXT had exciting matches on the card with the promise of Cedric Alexander vs. Hideo Itami and Moustache Mountain vs. The Undisputed Era in a rematch from the UK Championship Tournament.  Anyone else notice Drew McIntyre just looks like a better built version of Seth Rollins? TV Review: GLOW Season 27/10/2018 Written by: Kevin Berge  I get we're just going for the right aesthetic, but why is no one here in character? (Image Courtesy of: bleedingcool.com) Quick Take: GLOW Season 2 carries forward all the characters and stories of the first with strong focused narratives that embrace what makes the show unique. With strong comedy, subtle drama, and a love and joy for wrestling, this is another top notch season that should not be missed.
2018 Film Review: Set It Up7/7/2018 Written by: Kevin Berge  Awww, isn't that cute? Two good-looking white twenty year olds finding love in their shared failure to find their joy in their successful jobs. (Image Courtesy of: mashable.com) Quick Take: Set It Up has all the expected trappings of a romantic comedy from its set-up to its execution, but it works by embracing those elements. With strong writing, direction, and acting, this is a film that celebrates the romcom with emotion and heart.
