Daredevil – Shoot the Moon

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Shoot the Moon
  • IMDb: link

Marginally advancing the season’s plot, “Shoot the Moon” feels mostly like a filler episode where we get to spend time with various characters and get to see a couple of sequences highlighting our hero’s new costume while also showing us that Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) has learned a few things from her boyfriend. The Northern Star is still pivotal to the plans of both heroes and villains, but no real movement is made. Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) is confirmed to be the man who saved Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) but the reasons for his actions, and later attack on the anti-vigilante squad, aren’t explored.

Will Trent – He Lives!

  • Title: Will Trent – He Lives!
  • IMDb: link

Believing his uncle to have been captured by one of James Ulster’s (Greg Germann) disciples, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) rushes to Puerto Rico to work with an FBI agent (Mallory Jansen) to rescue him. The episode offers the trademark comedic spots, including Will barging in on Antonio (John Ortiz), who hasn’t been taken yet, and his lady friend, before things get serious in a trek through the jungle and a twist (which, admittedly, is pretty easy to see coming). It’s not the strongest episode, but the story does allow Will to continue working through his complicated feelings about Ulster while also offering the possibility that a number of his crazed fans might be out there to do his dirty work from the grave.

Hoppers

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Hoppers
  • IMDb: link

Hoppers is an odd film. For those who enjoy when Disney or Pixar go a bit further off the more established path (while they are also preparing yet another Toy Story sequel and a live-action Moana), that still hits on established themes of family and nature, there’s certainly something here worth considering.

CIA – Fatal Defect

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: CIA – Fatal Defect
  • IMDb: link

The second episode of CIA continues the odd couple dynamic of Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss) and Colin Glass (Tom Ellis) working uncover the true purpose of a foreign intelligence officer (Melinda Michael) smuggled into the United States. We get a few twists and turns along the way before the episode ends with the pair preventing another attack. Along the way Bill gets more close-up evidence of Colin spinning lies to suit the occasion (although only the audience partakes in the reveal of how much the man has lied over the course of the episode).
