REVIEW: The Wonderful World of Disney Presents The Little Mermaid Live (2019)
When I heard that Disney was doing a live musical presentation of The Little Mermaid, I was more than a little concerned. This trend of adapting stage and screen classics live has mostly been a mistake, as anyone who watched Peter Pan Live or The Sound of Music Live can attest. Disney is pretty much...
Read MoreREVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 3 “She Was Killed by Space Junk”
Three episodes in, Watchmen still isn’t very good – and, in some places, astonishingly, how-the-hell-did-they-think-this-was-a-good-idea bad – but “She Was Killed by Space Junk” introduces a potential life raft in the form of a major character from the graphic novel. It’s littered with t...
