Hey, everyone! Welcome to the fifth installment of our limited series taking a new look at over and/or underrated films and TV shows. This week, we travel back to the 90s and watch a few classic episodes of Batman: The Animated Series: The two-parter Heart of Steel, and a follow-up, His Silicon…
I can't tell if Chaos Walking is a good movie trapped in the body of a terrible one, or vice versa. It has an intriguing premise and a great cast, both of which flounder in a soulless, humorless production where everyone on camera looks absolutely miserable.

Welcome back! This is Week 3 of our limited series, in which we take at look at old movies that might be over or underrated. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow could be either, depending on your personal taste. (Our panel runs the gamut of opinions.)
Released in 2004,…
Some audiences may find this film to be too mannered and deliberate, but I enjoyed watching Christoph Waltz’s character spin the webs that will eventually ensnare him.
Welcome back to Cinemavino! This is episode 2 in our limited series revisiting movies we found to be over or underrated. In this case, we venture back to Dark City, a cult classic that has kinda slipped under the radar. Many prominent critics, including Roger Ebert, placed in their '10 Best' lists--some…
