Becker (1998) s01e06 – Man Plans, God Laughs
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 17, 2019
Writer Ian Gurvitz starts off with a bad joke at Alex Désert’s blind guy’s expense, which Désert doesn’t really essay very well either. Funny how the Becker (Ted Danson) rant was the most distinguishing thing in the first three episodes—at least recurring distinguishing thing—and now it’s read more
Battle at Big Rock (2019, Colin Trevorrow)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 17, 2019
Battle at Big Rock is a reminder the Jurassic Park Franchise Part 2 isn’t over yet. It’s a suspenseful nine minutes where director Trevorrow puts the preserving lead characters in danger—a family, of course—culminating in an allosaurus about to eat a baby. There’s also the precocious kid Melody read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 16, 2019
It's Becker (Ted Danson) on a blind date. Danson lets himself get set up after some razzing from Terry Farrell, who's got a wonderful new boyfriend (Brian Cousins). Cousins is a big sweetie, who treats Farrell and everyone else with respect and kindness. He does wear shorts–he' read more

Duh, Ha-Ha (2019)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 16, 2019
Duh Ha-Ha is quick and lyrical. The nameless narrator sets up the ground situation in a page; she’s a listless early twenty-something who works in restaurant of some kind, probably not a chain. Her boss gives her a ride home and she thinks about what would happen if she his old bones. Would his gra read more
Tower of London (1962, Roger Corman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 15, 2019
Tower of London almost makes it. The film gets through the low budget, which has a static picture of a model Tower of London instead of a picture of the real Tower for establishing shots, obvious backdrops, not great makeup to age or deform its cast, and the occasional reused footage. Director Corm read more

Becker (1998) s01e04 – Tell Me Lies
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 14, 2019
This episode doesn't have the belly laughs the other ones so far have featured, but it does finally give Terry Farrell something to do. Something to do she can do well, which is constantly lie to Ted Danson and Alex Désert about what's bothering her. It's actually rather impressive t read more

Sgt. Rock (2019, Bruce Timm)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 13, 2019
Sgt. Rock is a bait and switch. But what’s got to be a pointless one. The bait is a fifteen minute “violent” Sgt. Rock cartoon with Karl Urban doing the voice. Only the character doesn’t get many lines and when he does, they’re usually barking orders lines. So basically it’s like Karl Urban read more

Star Trek: Discovery (2017) s02e02 – New Eden
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 13, 2019
This episode certainly doesn’t do anything to “solve” the Anson Mount problem—i.e. Mount’s leagues ahead of anyone else on “Discovery,” past and present, as far as commanding the show. He’s a TV show lead. It’s almost depressing to see Sonequa Martin-Green in scenes with him because read more

Star Trek: Discovery (2017) s02e01 – Brother
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 12, 2019
There’s a lot going on with the season premiere of “Discovery.” And not just the multiple teases related to the original series. “Discovery” gets out of addressing the time, technology, and costuming discrepancies with the original series and the reboot movies by bringing Captain Pike into read more
