Both a critical and box office failure, writer/director Vaughn Stein‘s stylish neo-noir thriller is more notable for the look of the film than anything else. The convoluted plot, which relies on two late twists and extended monologuing to the audience in the final ten minutes to tie the disparate threads of the story together, involves a cast of characters including a waitress (Margot Robbie), English teacher (Simon Pegg), and pair of assassins (Max Irons and Dexter Fletcher) who keep coming back to a rundown train station for reasons even they don’t understand.

The problem with basing an entire comic around a mysterious secret kept from both characters in the comic and from the readers is that once revealed, if it turns out to be dumb as fuck, the entire house of cards you built collapses in on itself. That’s what happens in Green Arrow #3 as Ollie and Lian are pulled into the future to join Connor Hawke and the Legion of Super-Heroes where it’s revealed an older version of Oliver Queen allowed Amanda Waller to play interdimensional hop-scotch with his entire family for something they might do on one particular timeline.

Cancelled before its final episode aired, Gotham Knights limps to a conclusion with the Gotham Knights in prison (again) after being framed for a series of murders (again), this time the victims being the Court of Owls which Rebecca March (Lauren Stamile) had killed off for attempting to hide their existence by revealing them to the world (because, what?). She then doubles down by sending the Talons after the imprisoned Knights to kill a whole bunch of cops more than willing to pin the crimes on them (because, what?).

  • Title: Not Dead Yet – Pilot
  • IMDb: link

Well there’s a half-hour of my life I’ll never get back. Not Dead Yet is a workplace comedy that forgot the comedy. Gina Rodriguez stars as a thirtysomething still acting like a twentysomething who returns home to a career she abandoned years ago for a relationship that eventually went up in flames. Half of the episode shows us examples of how everyone else has grown up in Nell’s absence, leaving her on shaky ground both in her work and social life. The other half deals with dead people.
