The Hardy Boys - Where the Light Can't Find You television review

“Where the Light Can’t Find You” follows up on the mysteries introduced in the show’s first episode as Fenton (James Tupper) leaves to look for a source who may know what his wife was working on that got her killed, only to run afoul of some mysterious figures. In Bridgeport, Joe (Alexander Elliot) has an adventure with Biff (Riley O’Donnell) helping out a thief (Atticus Mitchell) hiding out just outside of town after stealing a golden statue from an airplane while in flight. The man he stole the statue from is the mysterious Tall Man (Stephen R. Hart), the same odd character who Frank (Rohan Campbell) and his new pals Callie (Keana Lyn), Chet (Adam Swain), and Phil (Cristian Perri) run into while searching for Ern (Sean Patrick Dolan).

NCIS: Los Angeles - Raising the Dead television review

NCIS gets played big time in “Raising the Dead.” When two dangerous convicts escape, NCIS must deal with the prisoner who is quickly captured in order to find the other who is obsessed with assassinating the President. However, the criminal with information is a sociopath (Frank Military) who used the breakout solely to maneuver his way to a Presidential pardon allowing him the freedom to terrorize the object of his obsession, Kensi (Daniela Ruah), once more. The episode attempts to sell a master criminal and set-up an entire backstory for one of its regulars with mixed success in a very short period of time.

Star Trek: Discovery - Forget Me Not television review

Hoping to find answers locked away in the symbiote of Discovery‘s new passenger Adira Tal (Blu del Barrio), the ship travels to Trill in hopes that Adira’s memories could be accessed and answer questions about her past as well as Starfleet. What they find is divided civilization on decline, a faction of which is disgusted by the mere thought of a symbiote being joined with a non-Trill (which, until the previous episode, was as likely as a human male spontaneously giving birth). However, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Adira are able to find a sympathetic ally to help Adira make a connection with the former hosts.

Black Beauty

Black Beauty movie reviewAnna Sewell‘s Black Beauty: His Grooms and Companions, the Autobiography of a Horse has been adapted a dozen or so times over the past one-hundred years to both television and film. Disney+’s new version centers mostly on the relationship between the wild mustang (voiced by Kate Winslet) and an orphaned teenager named Jo (Mackenzie Foy) who bond at her uncle’s (Iain Glen) horse sanctuary following the death of Jo’s parents.

Recasting Beauty as a mare rather than stallion allows for writer/director Ashley Avis to reframe the story, in part, as female empowerment (with a bit of class struggle thrown in for good measure). It also, not so subtly, highlights the comparisons between Jo and Beauty who create a lasting bond that continues long after they are separated. The script highlights the themes of animal cruelty from the book as the script touches on Beauty’s later owners, a ranger (Hakeem Kae-Kazim), a farmer (Jacques Wuister), a carriage driver (Greg Parves), and finally an unscrupulous carriage business owner (Deon Lotz) who treat Beauty with varying levels of care before the horse comes back into possession of Jo at the end of the film.
