This is going to sound really strange, given how much I’ve loved a lot of this season of American Crime Story, but, with the season finale behind us, I think the last nine episodes have told a story that ended more a failure than a success.
If you can say one thing for Tomb Raider, at least Alicia Vikander got the worst performance of her career out of the way early.
This entire episode kicks into gear with a UTI, and it’s just less pleasant from there on out.
As brutal as it is brilliant, Lynne Ramsay’s latest is the best movie of the year so far.
Hmm.
With a run as good as the one this season of American Crime Story has been on, there’s always going to be an episode that doesn’t stick the way the rest of them do. And this week’s outing, Ascent, is precisely that.
A timely movie explores the cycles of violence that poison communities, and searches for a way out of them.
Better late than never- here’s my take on Marvel’s best movie in years!
So, I have a slightly…fractious relationship with UnREAL. I think it’s best summed up in this article, that I wrote after the end of season two a couple of years ago, but if you want the tl;dr, a show that was ostensibly about the goings-on behind the scenes of a Bachelor-esque reality show and the grotesquely nightmarish manipulation exacted on the hapless contestants by the staff lost sight of it’s meta-ness and became too wrapped up in it’s own drama (and major restructuring in UnREAL’s writers room led to some scrappy, messy plots and arcs to boot). But I still think the first series is brilliant and I adore both Constance Zimmer and Shiri Appleby, who play showrunner Quinn and producer Rachel respectively, so when season three rolled around, I knew I had to give it a go.

I really want to love Guillermo Del Toro, I do
