Far from the dumpster fire many feared, The New Mutants is a much more mundane disappointment: a near miss.

GAME OF THRONES (S8E4) “The Last Of The Starks”: All-Male Writers Failed Its Female Characters

Game of Thrones’ bad writing of Sansa and Brienne and the racially fraught implications of the episode’s ending, make this episode a huge letdown.

GAME OF THRONES (S8E3) “The Long Night”: All Prophecies Must Die

Game of Thrones spent so much time drumming up the battle with the Dead, that everything that comes after will be second fiddle in intensity and importance.

After almost two years, Game of Thrones is finally back for its final season. The 1st episode was marked by family reunions and reveals that change everything.

THEN CAME YOU: Sweet Teen Tale Lacks Originality
THEN CAME YOU: Sweet Teen Tale Lacks Originality

Then Came You doesn’t break new ground, but Asa Butterfield and Maisie Williams have the film bursting with such a youthful energy that it’s hard to not at least enjoy the show.

The Falling
THE FALLING: Being a Teenage Girl Sucks

The Falling, the first drama feature by critically acclaimed director Carol Morley, went largely unnoticed on its general release. Despite collecting high praise from the critics, and starring Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams in the lead role, The Falling was almost a blink-and-you-miss-it situation. This seems absolutely tragic, as I would have no reservations in rating it as my favourite film of 2015.
