Third Person: Well acted, but the schtick of "Look at these unrelated stories we're going to eventually tie together!" is pretty tired. I admit that I completely failed to notice the surprise twist at the end, but then, I also didn't care. Every character in this movie is a terrible person and I didn't care about any of them. Dear writers: please stop writing about writers.

Maps to the Stars: It's Cronenberg, so it's creepy and well made, but again, every single character in this movie is a terrible person and I didn't care about any of them. Dear Hollywood celebrities: please stop writing about Hollywood celebrities.

Zero Theorem: An autistic guy sits in his underwear playing Minecraft on the set of 12 Monkeys while extras from The Fifth Element stop by to fuck with him. Nothing happens. Gilliam, what happened to you?

Mr. Peabody and Sherman: I needed to get the bad aftertaste of those last three out of my system, ok? This was actually a lot funnier than it had any right to be. And it took a weirdly dark turn at one point with talking-dog/human racial politics.

John Wick: This is fantastic! It's basically Red if it was directed by John Woo. The fight scenes are great, and people actually run out of bullets.

The Great Martian War: Apparently the Hitler Channel does low budget SF now. It's cute, some of the effects are good.

Appleseed Alpha: I barely remember the first Appleseed, but I guess this is a prequel? It blows up real good. The valley is getting less uncanny. They ordered up most of the characters by calling Central Casting and saying "send us the Luc Besson kit." (Which is fine.)

Life After Beth: Aubrey Plaza is a zombie. If you're not sold by that, I can't help you. It's pretty funny, using the Shawn of the Dead formula of putting a screwball comedy in the middle of a non-comedic zombie apocalypse.

Constantine, s01e01: I am utterly shocked to report that this didn't suck. It's very pilot-y, in that it's full of exposition and has too much tell-don't-show, but I think it's got potential. The effects are great. Much zalgo, wow.

Gotham, s01e01-05: I've watched the first few episodes of this even though, as a police procedural, it's Against Policy ("never watch shows about doctors, lawyers or cops") but it's mean-spirited enough that it has sucked me in. Gordon is a hat-rack that walks, but Oswald Cobblepot is fantastic.
