Shadowhunters – The World Inverted

Alan Rapp / March 18, 2016 / Television Reviews

Title: Shadowhunters – Rise Up
wiki: link

“The World Inverted” is a odd episode. The logic goes something like this, to find Valentine (Alan Van Sprang) our intrepid heroes Clary (Katherine McNamara) and Jace (Dominic Sherwood) will travel to a idyllic parallel dimension to find a portal and return back home in the spot they wish (Valentine’s fortress). Of course it only partially works. First, the longer Clary stays in other dimension the more tempted she becomes to stay (and why wouldn’t she, it’s perfect?). And second, Alec‘s (Matthew Daddario) anger over the missing cup causes him to take drastic action which nearly gets Jace killed.

Pretty Little Liars – Hush, Hush, Sweet Liars

Alan Rapp / March 17, 2016 / Television Reviews

Title: Pretty Little Liars – Hush, Hush, Sweet Liars
wiki: link

Sorry, I don’t get it. The Sixth Season of Pretty Little Liars comes to a close with the plan of the Liars to capture the new A backfiring (like their plans usually do) leading to Hanna (Ashley Benson) being taken by their adversary. The finale’s big reveal takes place first under the ruins of Radley and later at the remains of Caleb‘s (Tyler Blackburn) trap as we learn Alison’s mother has a twin sister, Mary Drake (Andrea Parker), who is the real mother of Charlotte. Apparently she’s been working with Elliot (Huw Collins) this entire time to steal Alison’s 51% share of the Carissimi Group. This explains the sudden gaslighting of Alison by her husband and aunt (admittedly creepy and effective, but should have started weeks ago), but not the torturing of the Liars themselves (as it seems the an extremely unlikely way to solve Charlotte’s murder).

Title: Second Chance – When You Have to Go There, They Have to Take You In
IMDb: link

Following last week’s reveal that Mary (Dilshad Vadsaria) has been cured of the cancer that was slowly killing her thanks to the blood transfusions of the resurrected Jimmy (Robert Kazinsky), Second Chance begins on working on a new central conflict to keep the story going. After all, now that Jimmy isn’t needed as a donor what’s to keep him tied to Lookinglass other than the slow-burning physical attraction between Jimmy and Mary? After previously revealing Connor Graff (Adan Canto) to be a snake out to steal the company’s secrets, “When You Have to Go There, They Have to Take You In” begins to fill in that storyine which ties the existence of not one but two other resurrected people to Graff.

The Mediocre Dinosaur

Alan Rapp / March 3, 2016 / Home Video

Title: The Good Dinosaur
IMDb: link

Without question The Good Dinosaur is the weakest Pixar movie to date. Closer in tone and aspirations to The Croods or Blue Sky’s Ice Age franchise, the film tells the uninspired coming of age tale of a frightened young dinosaur named Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) who is forced to grow up after being separated from his family.

The Good Dinosaur isn’t a bad movie per se. It’s an okay kid’s film, and may mostly keep your interest, but it’s certainly lackluster compared to the rest of Pixar’s films – all of which are both more visually and emotionally engaging than the story of young Arlo and his pet human Spot (Jack Bright).

Available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray, extras include a digital copy of the film, audio commentary, and several short featurettes (between 2-7 minutes each) on the film, characters, and dinosaurs in the movie.

[Walt Disney Studios, 3D Blu-ray $39.99 / Blu-ray $39.99 / DVD $29.99]

Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection

Alan Rapp / February 29, 2016 / Home Video

Title: Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture 50th Anniversary Collection
wiki: link

Much like Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 50th Anniversary Collection, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture 50th Anniversary Collection is a basic re-issue of the 2009 Blu-ray release collecting all four Star Trek: The Next Generation feature films in a single collection. As with the other release, it’s a bit of a mixed bag with some, but certainly not all, of the extras available in the movies’ individual home video releases.
