Adam and the Masters of the Universe

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Masters of the Universe (2026)
  • IMDb: link

The first live-action Masters of the Universe film since 1987, the new film makes notable upgrades in allowing most of the plot to unfold on Eternia (although we do get stuck on Earth for a large section of Act I), throw in more of oddball characters of the franchise (although not as many as you may be expecting), and (perhaps a little too much) discuss who has the power of Grayskull.

Why Minority Report Kinda Sucks

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Minority Report
  • IMDb: link

Released in 2002, Steven Spielberg‘s Minority Report offered a slick sci-fi thriller set in the not-too-distant future resulting in huge financial and critical acclaim. However, before it was a feature film adapted by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen (who admitted in an interview with Script Magazine that he didn’t understand the original story) The Minority Report was a short novella by Peter K. Dick. And for those who read the story before seeing the movie it’s almost impossible to reconcile the fundamental changes to not only the narrative but also the core ideas Dick was exploring to such an extent that the film’s title no longer makes sense. It would be another decade before a writer and director would so fundamentally misunderstand their source material resulting in Man of Steel.

  • Title: Day One – Samuel
  • IMDb: link

The first episode of Day One introduces us to Ulises (Álex González) who has lived in seclusion for the better part of a decade following the death of his sister. Out of the blue, he’s contacted by his old programming partner Samuel (Asier Etxeandia) who has discovered something dark at the heart of tech billionaire Diskin’s (Jordi Mollà) next release. Uncovering the dangerous truth about the product that might put millions in jeopardy, Samuel reconnects with Ulises but is killed before the details can be explained leaving the programmer on the run both from the police (who mistakenly believe him to be responsible for Samuel), Diskin and his agents, and the assassin (Renata Notni) who killed Samuel whose true allegiance has yet to be determined.

Citadel – Cold Plunge / Chinos

  • Title: Citadel – Cold Plunge / Chinos
  • IMDb: link | link

“Cold Plunge” and “Chinos” bring an end to our spies’ hiding starting with Abby’s (Ashleigh Cummings) foolish decision that puts her family in danger and gets her captured. We get a brawl between Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) who now knows it was Mason who betrayed Citadel, and we get Bernard (Stanley Tucci) bringing the two spies together with his new CIA friends (Jack Reynor and Lina El Arabi) and Frank Sharpe (Matt Berry) to go on the offensive in a half-assed plan that goes off the rails almost immediately and leaves one of their own bleeding out on the floor of the CIA.
