Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness #1

/ / Comics

Mashing up two franchises, as Dynamite Entertainment is want to do, we get Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness #1 which opens in the present with a despondent Ash Williams thinking back on his glory days (as seen in Army of Darkness). This leads to a little researching about the time period he left and an attack by a She-Devil with a Sword which he chooses to try and prevent by pulling out a very different book and traveling back to what he thinks will be the world he left.

Tombstone

  • Title: Tombstone
  • IMDb: link

More notable for Val Kilmer‘s supporting role as Doc Holliday than anything else, 1993’s Tombstone comes to 4K for the first time. After a bit of gunplay highlighting the Cowboys who will make up the film’s villains, the film opens with Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) along with his brothers Virgil (Sam Elliott) and Morgan (Bill Paxton) and their wives (Paula Malcomson, Lisa Collins, and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson) relocating out West to the bombing town of Tombstone. Done with their public service, or so they believe, the Earps are looking to retire and make their fortune in the West starting with Wyatt getting the family a stake in a local Saloon by cleaning out the trash (Billy Bob Thornton).

Matlock – Tricks of the Trade

  • Title: Matlock – Tricks of the Trade Part 1 & Part 2
  • IMDb: link | link

Although we won’t know the answer until the Fall, the question that I thought about over the course of the two-part season finale was whether or not Matlock has already jumped the shark. Having Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) discover Matty‘s (Kathy Bates) secret in the previous episode, the two form a temporary mistrustful partnership with Olympia willing to work together but determined to prove Julian‘s (Jason Ritter) innocence. The episode will close with a false ending seeing Olympia proved right and then the first of multiple cliffhangers where the show reveals Julian’s complicity, just as Matty predicted. This leaves Olympia in a no-win situation (but, I’m guessing from the mention of all of the skills Olympia has learned from Matty’s lies, she’ll attempt to hide the truth from Matty while pretending to help search for the “real culprit”).

Sherlock & Daughter – The Challenge

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Sherlock & Daughter< – The Challenge
  • IMDb: link

Introducing them first separately before throwing the two characters together, we witness Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis) refusing to take several cases in the notable absence of Dr. Watson. We also witness the resilient Amelia Rojas (Blu Hunt) make her way from New York to London and, through a bit of quick thinking and subterfuge, find her way to the great detective as his new maid. What Amelia is really after is for Holmes, who she believes to be her father, to help solve her mother’s murder. Also, in the coincidence that keeps them together long enough for Holmes to get a feel for the young woman, she is determined to help solve the disappearance of a wealthy young girl (Gia Hunter) she met on the ship from America (apparently one of many targeted by the mysterious “Thread”).

Doctor Who – The Robot Revolution

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Doctor Who – The Robot Revolution
  • wiki: link

Doctor Who returns for a new season by introducing us to The Doctor‘s (Ncuti Gatwa) new companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu). You can feel the writers trying to pull a bit from Clara Oswald here with Sethu having already been introduced as a different character (a distant relative of Belinda) in last season’s episode “Boom.” And like Clara, there’s some mystery for The Doctor to unravel about how he’s linked to Belinda who has a very bizarre day when she’s kidnapped from Earth by a race of robots (the best thing about the episode) and taken to a solar system named after her where, to her surprise, she’s a queen.
