Six Nations: Full Contact 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 I should start by saying that I'm a huge rugby fan and I understand that they were always going to try and appeal to the unanointed. And to be fair, they've managed to turn the sport into a neat little consumable package and that's not a bad thing at all. The players they choose to focus on are (mostly) good to watch, especially the likes of Porter and Russell.


All that said, the show is flawed. I feel like dedicating an episode to getting casual/beginner viewers up to speed and then going a little deeper into the sport itself may have been the more appropriate decision rather than the over-simplifying route they took. 

Stars: Ugo Monye, Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg

The sound effects on every tackle get boring pretty quickly, as do the angles that change every 5 seconds, and OMG someone has to answer for the NURSE amount of slow motion shots. The efforts to cinematize the matches fall flat and are just embarrassing overall.


In short, there's something for everyone and generally speaking it's more entertaining than boring. But if you're looking for something a little deeper, keep looking.

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...

Flight Risk 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 The plane hijacking movie “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg, can keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Wahlberg does a good job playing psychopathic killer Daryl Booth, and the dimwitted informant Winston (Topher Grace) becomes the cherry on top of this super-intense movie. Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” opens with U.S. Marshal Madelyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) escorting Winston, the government witness, to a trial. Winston is accused of getting involved with a mob boss. But it turns out that Booth (Wahlberg), the pilot transporting them, is a hitman sent to kill the informant. Director: Mel Gibson Writer: Jared Rosenberg Stars: Michelle Dockery, Mark Wahlberg, Topher Grace The movie takes place mostly inside a small aircraft. Even though the movie takes place entirely in the snowy mountain peaks of Alaska, the movie only shows glimpses of the landscape. The computer-generated special effects in the scenes that show the plane feel choppy. Despite its flaws, “Flight Risk” is st...
