Suspense is missing from ‘Making a Murderer’ Season 2 (TV review)

October 31, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield IMDb Top 250 TV

Season 1 of the documentary “Making a Murderer” was a cultural phenomenon when it premiered in December 2015. Everyone was talking about it, so it was something I had to watch. The series is very […]

‘Seven in Heaven’ is an engaging mind trip that forgets to deliver a payoff (Movie review)

October 17, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Movies

“Seven in Heaven” was an impulsive watch for me. The premise sounded neat and it was right there on Netflix so I gave it a chance. The plot is pretty basic, but interesting: Two kids […]

Ridiculous ‘Skyscraper’ pushes suspension of disbelief past the breaking point (Movie review)

October 15, 2018April 17, 2025 Shaune Redfield Movies

I’m always up for a good action movie. I have the mindset that no matter how bad a blockbuster action movie is, it’s still worth a watch when it’s big, loud and fun. All you […]

Filming with an iPhone 7 is insane, but ‘Unsane’ is a decent psychological thriller (Movie review)

October 11, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Movies

When I first heard about “Unsane,” the only thing I knew was that it was a Steven Soderbergh movie filmed using only an iPhone 7. I didn’t hear anything about the movie itself, so I […]

Engrossing ‘Better Call Saul’ inches closer to the ‘Breaking Bad’ timeline in Season 4 (TV review)

October 10, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul

Being as I haven’t reviewed or talked about AMC’s “Better Call Saul” or “Breaking Bad” in the past, I feel it is necessary to preface this review a bit. “Breaking Bad” is in my top […]

After masterful ‘Sicario,’ ‘Day of the Soldado’ is content to be an OK action thriller (Movie review)

October 8, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Movies

The first “Sicario” (2015) is a work of art. It has mood, tension, amazing cinematography and a great story. Needless to say, I was excited to see the sequel. “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” is […]

‘Fear the Walking Dead’ lurches from bad to good to bad again in Season 4 (TV review)

October 1, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Television

“Fear the Walking Dead” (AMC) is a strange show. I’m not sure the creators have any idea what to do with it at this point. Season 1 started out as a fresh take on the […]

‘Ocean’s 8’ lacks the imagination and daring of the previous entries (Movie review)

September 30, 2018April 18, 2025 Shaune Redfield Movies

I’m a pretty big fan of the remade “Ocean’s” films from the ’00s. (I’ve never seen the original from 1960.) They are fun, smart and have great chemistry with George Clooney and Brad Pitt firmly […]

‘Uncle Drew’ has NBA nostalgia and a few good jokes, but is ultimately forgettable (Movie review)

September 28, 2018May 9, 2021 Shaune Redfield Movies

For some reason, I had somewhat high expectations for “Uncle Drew.” Now, I say that with the understanding that the movie consists of NBA players in prosthetic makeup to appear as old men. So it […]

Unfathomable ‘Red Sparrow’ doesn’t invite the audience into its game (Movie review)

September 21, 2018April 18, 2025 Shaune Redfield Movies

“Red Sparrow” is boring, a bit confusing, and almost unnecessarily dirty. The main character (Jennifer Lawrence) basically goes to whore school to become one of the Red Sparrows, Russian spies trained to use sex to […]
