Hannibal 3.08: “The Great Red Dragon” At Last Descends

By Clare Toohey

July 28, 2015

Stray dogs and more Englishmen! Once Hannibal was captive, I felt safe vacating, so “The Great Red Dragon” is a late write-up. This episode had a dash of everything I love and may mourn if alternate media saviors don't intervene to #SaveHannibal. The Baltimore State Hospital has inherited Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), and Dr.…

Hannibal 3.07: “Digestivo” Finishes Characters

By Clare Toohey

July 20, 2015

Hannibal's “Digestivo” finishes characters with a burp, despite NBC moving our dinner reservation. Shifted to Saturday night, without preamble, this week's episode had lots of action for fannibals who don't care about the show's cancellation, not while there's still plenty to see in this season. (Of course, the more vigorous and plentiful the viewer affection, the…

Fresh Meat: Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich

By Amber Keller

July 11, 2015

Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich is a multigenerational tale of one family's history of crime and vengeance in rural Georgia (available July 14, 2015),  For a debut novel, Brian Panowich really knocks it out of the ballpark. The text is tight, and the prose is just right. The raw and emotional writing has spikes of…

Falling for the Point Break Remake

By Crime HQ

June 11, 2015

After two years of waiting, here's our first look at the new Point Break trailer with less surfing, but more altitude and extreme skiing. Luke Bracey stars as Johnny Utah, the young FBI agent and extreme athlete sent to infiltrate a gang of daring criminals led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). If they've updated…

The Americans 3.11: “One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov”

By Court Haslett

April 9, 2015

Phew! For the first time in weeks, nobody on The Americans was lit on fire, no one was stuffed into a suitcase, no little old ladies were killed, and no teenage girls lost their innocence. And you know what? I’m fine with that. The audience needed a break after the emotional wringer it’s been put…

In The Americans 3.02 "Baggage", her back might be straight, but Elizabeth (Keri Russell) is carrying plenty of baggage.

The Americans 3.02: “Baggage”

By Court Haslett

February 5, 2015

The Americans followed up its action-packed premiere with one of its most contemplative episodes to date. Apart from a quick chase scene and a heart-stopping encounter between Oleg (Costa Ronin) and Stan (Noah Emmerich), most of the hour is spent cleaning up last week’s messes, leaving plenty of time for the principal characters to ponder…

The Americans 3.01: Season Premiere “EST Men”

By Court Haslett

January 29, 2015

I can’t remember a show sticking the landing of its finale better than The Americans did in Season 2. Not only did they tie up all the intricate story arcs with a legitimately surprising twist, they did so in a way that organically created an even more disturbing cliffhanger going into Season 3 (and not…

Under the Radar: Genre Movies You May Have Missed — The Frighteners

By Angie Barry

January 23, 2015

I love the mainstream, popular, and critically acclaimed films as much as the next person. The last thing I’d consider myself is a cinematic snob. But there are times when a truly amazing movie slips into—and out of—theaters without much buzz before fading into obscurity. So I’d like to bring a few of those gems…

Fear the Darkness by Becky Masterson

Fear the Darkness: New Excerpt

By Becky Masterman

January 19, 2015

Fear the Darkness by Becky Masterman is the second thriller in the Brigid Quinn series about an ex-FBI agent whose niece has some glaring psychopathic tendencies (available January 20, 2015). It’s hard to recognize the devil when his hand is on your shoulder. That’s because a psychopath is just a person before he becomes a…

Under the Radar: Genre Movies You May Have Missed — The Cell

By Angie Barry

January 3, 2015

I love the mainstream, popular, and critically acclaimed films as much as the next person. The last thing I’d consider myself is a cinematic snob. But there are times when a truly amazing movie slips into—and out of—theaters without much buzz before fading into obscurity. So I’d like to bring a few of those gems…
