It’s a remake just for a remake sake. RAMA has delivered another great review. It is possible for a movie musical to show that the actors seem to be having fun on the screen, but unfortunately that fun is not shared by the audiences watching them. ANNIE is one of those movies. It’s a remake just for a remake sake, just so that the studio can have something they can call a new version, with new level of riches, billionaire with a ‘B’, just so that they can have something that simply exists. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the vibe or the hyper energy, but everything about this new ANNIE manages to make musical fans like me hate musicals. It’s a hard knock life indeed for us. There’s nothing wrong with trying to update something using a diverse group of actors, I’m all for that, but if you have a weak script with a runtime that’s unnecessary long, and songs that push you away instead of inviting you in, you’ve got a disaster in your hand. I actually feel sorry for Quvenzhane Wallis

TV Review: Gotham “Lovecraft” By: Brandon Wolfe With roughly half of its first season now laid out, ‘Gotham’ is still struggling to get its act together. The flaws that one hoped were temporary and being worked through are now starting to look like they might be the house style. The show is all thumbs, uncertain of what it wants to be and seemingly incapable of any artfulness. It should be much better than this, yet it doesn’t seem to be on any path to redemption. Arguably the biggest problem with ‘Gotham’ is its stubborn insistence on cramming young Bruce Wayne into the works as a major character. This decision has hamstrung the show by forcing a character into a context in which he simply doesn’t make sense. ‘Gotham’ was sold as a gritty cop procedural set in a pre-Batman Gotham City. This is a conceit with promise, at least in theory, but it’s also one where a schoolboy version of Bruce Wayne makes little sense playing a sizable role. The creators seem convinced that people wi

We break down the newest episode from the Fox series. TV Review: Gotham “Harvey Dent” By: Brandon Wolfe “ Harvey Dent” introduces to the ‘Gotham’ world Harvey Dent, since it would be weird to call the episode that had it not. Portrayed by Nicholas D’Agosto as a slightly manic, eager-beaver lawyer itching to take on Gotham’s corrupt upper class, Dent is constantly flipping that iconic coin of his. Of course he is. ‘Gotham’ would never resist the temptation to hammer us with iconography like its life depended on it. Edward Nygma offers riddles every time he pops on screen, Young Selina Kyle already has the nickname “Cat,” so why wouldn’t the show hit us with Dent’s coin repeatedly? Given how the show operates, it’s surprising they haven’t also given Dent eczema on the right side of his face. For an episode that bears Dent’s name, this is not really his showcase. He’s just a spoke on the wheel, though the initial impression of Dent offered here already hints that the guy might h

TV Review: Gotham “The Mask” By: Brandon Wolfe After last week’s narrative pyrotechnics concerning Gotham City’s ensuing mob war and the Penguin’s key role in it, ‘Gotham’ shifts back into procedural mode, a mode that it still hasn’t quite cracked how to do well with. With the more interesting story threads largely moved to the backburner this week, Gordon and Bullock are back at work on a more standard case, and the episode suffers for it. “The Mask” concerns a financial firm that exercises the unusual hiring process of having its young hotshot prospects fight each other to the death for a seat at the table, all to satisfy the whims of its deranged CEO, Richard Sionis. When the body (with the gruesome addition of a severed finger in its mouth) of a failed prospect is recovered, Gordon and Bullock begin poking around and begin to notice that virtually all of Sionis’ charges around the office bear some form of battle scarring. This all leads to a confrontation between Gordon and

TV Review: Gotham “Penguin’s Umbrella” By: Brandon Wolfe “ Penguin’s Umbrella ” is the best episode of ‘ Gotham ’ aired thus far. Which isn’t to say that it nullifies every problem the show has displayed since its inception, but it shakes off the procedural stupor that has enveloped the series since the pilot. That mob war we’ve heard about incessantly for weeks finally heats up and we start to see how Oswald Cobblepot fits into the mix. “Penguin’s Umbrella” is a pivotal episode in ‘Gotham’s’ burgeoning mythology and it gives us our first indication that the people behind the show might actually have some idea of what they’re doing after all. Cobblepot coming forward to reveal his notable lack of death has saved Gordon from his impending arrest for the man’s murder, but it immediately places him in a much more precarious situation, for now not only does Bullock want Gordon dead for his betrayal, but so do Fish Mooney and Carmine Falcone, who dispatch several henchmen to eliminat

TV Review: Gotham “Spirit of the Goat” By: Brandon Wolfe Donal Logue has proven himself over a span of many years to be a talented, perfectly enjoyable actor. Playing a sarcastic crank like Harvey Bullock, Logue should be the saving grace of ‘Gotham,’ livening up the dour proceedings with a snappy line. But in “Spirit of the Goat,” Bullock takes center stage for once and it becomes more evident that the show has no idea how to use what should be a huge asset. With the material working so fiercely against him, Logue can only do so much, especially when forced to speak lines as musty as “The press is gonna have a field day” and “The whole thing’s gonna come down on us like a ton of bricks.” The series imprisons Logue in a tomb of blandness, neutralizing what should be a regular source of vibrancy. The episode begins on a flashback to ten years ago, back when Bullock was a young cop with a bit more life behind his eyes. Pursuing a serial killer called The Goat, a lunatic who w

TV Review: Gotham “Viper” By: Brandon Wolfe ‘ Gotham ’ is still a show very much in the throes of trying to figure out just what it is that it wants to be. Up until this point, the series has seemed to exclusively take Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy as its inspiration, with its grounded reality and poker-faced seriousness. But “Viper” throws a wrench in that paradigm by introducing a drug, called Viper, that is surreptitiously distributed on the streets of Gotham and turns anyone who ingests it into a superhuman rage monster. All of a sudden, we are unexpectedly thrown into the deep end of superpowered villainy. It’s not necessarily unwelcome, as Nolan’s insistence on excising the more fantastical elements of the ‘Batman’ universe was often maddening, but it’s something that ‘Gotham’ could have eased us into to make the shift less jarring. The first instance of Viper-related crime happens at a convenience store just around the corner from where Gordon and Bullock

TV Review: Gotham “Arkham” By: Brandon Wolfe All shows need a grace period of varying length when starting in order to find themselves, which is why criticizing ‘ Gotham ’ is proving a bit challenging. How many of its multitude of flaws are growing pains that can be worked out and how many are intrinsically part of the package? The show, quite candidly, has not been very good thus far, but some of the best shows ever aired have had very rocky starts before achieving greatness. ‘ Gotham ’s’ issues don’t seem fleeting; they feel like significant design flaws that won’t be corrected anytime soon because they likely are not recognized as flaws by those in charge. Still, in spite of these hunches, the fourth episode of a pilot season is a bit early to throw something with so much potential onto the scrap heap. All we can do sit by and hope that our time in the trenches isn’t for naught. Arkham Asylum is the ‘Batman’ hallmark that gets the spotlight this week in the aptly titled “Ark

TV Review: Gotham “The Balloonman” By: Brandon Wolfe ‘ Gotham ’ has pitched itself on the premise of showing us what Gotham City was like in the years before the Batman came into being, allowing a young Jim Gordon a shot at the spotlight. This is a sound idea, as far as Batman projects without Batman go, but the problem shaping up with ‘Gotham’ is that it’s not willing to commit to the idea. Rather than letting Gordon have a go at it, the show still wants us thinking about Batman in a story where that shouldn’t be the most pressing impulse. The very premise of “ The Balloonman ” is designed to press the Batman button as often as possible. The story centers around a vigilante who, weary of the crime and police corruption infecting Gotham, takes it upon himself to deliver an off-the-books measure of justice to shady public figures that would otherwise never be held accountable for their crimes. The method of his vengeance? Handcuffing weather balloons to the targets’ hands and se

TV Review: Gotham “Selina Kyle” By: Brandon Wolfe ‘ Gotham ’ is not shaping up to be a subtle show. As we spend more time with the crime fighting duo of Gordon and Bullock, what we’re witnessing is not merely a study of contrasts so much as two diametrically opposed archetypes thrust together to represent each extreme end of a spectrum. Basically, Goofus and Gallant as cops. Gordon isn’t merely a good cop, he’s the most noble, square-jawed beacon of decency conceivable. Bullock, on the other hand, is the most slovenly, unabashedly corrupt law enforcer you’d never want to meet. These aren’t characters, these are character types. It’s still early enough in the going for the show to deepen these men into something with a measure of nuance, but starting them off so entirely one-note is not starting off right. “ Selina Kyle ” sets our heroes (or our hero and that gross jerk who works with him) on the trail of a kidnapping ring. Homeless teenagers are being shanghaied off into the
