James Cameron returns to Pandora, and to the ecological themes and visual bedazzlements of his 2009 blockbuster in the new “Avatar”. James Cameron wants you to believe. He wants you to believe that aliens are killing machines, humanity can defeat time-travelling cyborgs, and a film can transport you to a significant historical disaster.

TV Review: "The Crown" S5
Our critical review of the Royal Netflix show, in which both the monarchy and the series struggle to stay relevant! The '90s were not a fun time for the British monarchy, who was scrambling to keep up with the times while enforcing unattainable, outdated appearances of idealised family life.
