  • Kingsman: The Secret Service

    I remember being disappointed by Kingsman the first time I watched it. I think it’s because I wanted something that was a bit less wacky, and I really hated Samuel L. Jackson’s character and his annoying lisp. After seeing the trailers for the sequel, which to me looked super fun, I decided to give the…

  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

    What to say about this. I wasn’t really excited to see another Pirates movie, and so it kinda feels like a franchise that is really pushing its luck, but then again, I like big adventure movies, so I wanted to give it a shot. In the end, it passed the time, and had some neat…

  • Baby Driver

    What a great movie, and it all starts with the soundtrack, which I think is the best song-based soundtrack we’ve gotten since Pulp Fiction. If I were to pull out a disappointment, it’s that the stunningly entertaining opening car action sequence never gets topped, and I kept hoping we were going to see more of…

  • F Is for Family (Season 2)

    I had really liked the first season of this series, but then when the second season hit during the summer, as happy as I was to start watching it, I found myself not really digging it — it felt less funny and just meaner. So I only watched the first couple of episodes, and then…

  • Jerry Before Seinfeld

    I quite enjoyed this new stand-up comedy special by Seinfeld for Netflix. It also made me realize that I think this was the first time I watched an actual full set by him — if you don’t count all of the stand-up bits that were part of the original Seinfeld series (which funnily enough, I…

  • The Orville

    I didn’t really know if I wanted to watch The Orville, Seth Macfarlane’s parody take on Star Trek — and I’m much more excited to watch this fall’s Star Trek: Discovery. I like Star Trek (I’ve watched every series and every movie), and I did like Galaxy Quest, but I didn’t know if I was…

  • The Good Place (Season 1)

    I’d heard good things about this series, and so when I saw it pop up on Netflix this past week (the first season, ahead of the start of the second one), I decided to check it out. I’m only on the 3rd episode, and I already love it. On top of a great cast (I…

  • Narcos (Season 1)

    When the first season of Narcos was added to Netflix, I remember watching the first few episodes, and enjoying it, but for some reason I got distracted and never finished it. With the addition of a 3rd season recently, I was reminded that I always meant to go back, and since I couldn’t really remember what…

    I’m having such a great time playing this. I was so excited when it first got announced at our Ubi presser during E3 — and was even more ecstatic to see Miyamoto join Yves on stage (and I even had a chance to tell Yves just that). So yeah, I’m super happy that Ubi has…

  • Halt and Catch Fire (Season 4)

    Halt and Catch Fire is among my favorite series of all time — it constantly feels like it was written just for me — and what we’ve seen so far of season 4 (the final season) has been fantastic. Every season has been set during a different era of technology, and this latest one, focusing…
