Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Pure of heart without being schmaltzy, Will Ferrell’s classic is like a spiritual palette cleanser.
TV review: Donald Glover’s brainchild is like the Black Experience meets “Black Mirror” in 20 masterful episodes that close out the series.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): While still recognizably an Allen film, this one focuses on the positive side of love enough to make you want to sing and dance.
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): An unusual but effective blend of dark and light tones, Richard Donner’s film ultimately succeeds because of Bill Murray.
Woody Wednesday (Movie reviews): Neither version is outstanding, but if you watch one, definitely track down the 1994 movie that comes directly from Allen.
TV review: Mike Judge’s now-iconic series expands its canvas to include multiple timelines as it makes fun of the lead duo and the world around them.
Frightening Friday (Movie review): “High School Musical” meets “The Walking Dead” in this riff that starts off fun but chooses the wrong tone later.
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): The setup of five unsupervised kids in an airport has potential and holiday spirit, but the script forgets the ho-ho-hos.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): It’s sometimes more absurd and sometimes more accessible than “Stardust Memories.” In the end, it’s a great companion piece.
