The Good A well told story is further bolstered by some really well done special features. The Bad Sometimes there was so much going on that the style of the movie got in the way of the rich storytelling. Millions is the kind of movie that with a little bit more notice might just become a holiday classic. Sadly, the fact that it takes place in England might hurt it from becoming a film that enters the lexicon of American Holiday movies like It’s A Wonderful Life....

Even before its arrival, Rian Johnson’s new TV series Poker Face was being compared to the classic detective drama Columbo. A new piece of fan art has created the perfect crossover between the two shows. Natasha Lyonne stars in Poker Face as a human lie detector who has to prove each week the culprit using her uncanny abilities. Like the Columbo mysteries, the show is more about watching how Lyonne’s character unravels the case rather than the show building up to a whodunit-style reveal, which is pretty unique in modern TV detective shows....

We only recently learned that Emmet J. Scanlan will portray Lobo in Krypton season 2. The network didn’t make us wait too long to reveal the first look at Scanlan in character as the DC baddie and, well, the internet has some thoughts on the matter. It’s hard to say what we should have expected, since this is the first time that the character of Lobo has appeared in live-action, but many online seem to think this is far from a home run, to say the least....
