When Michael Fairbanks first saw Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film back in 2002, everything changed. The experience began a lifelong passion for cinema that has gone undeterred since. In 2009 he began reviewing movies on Youtube, which ultimately sprang into a lifelong passion for film criticism and entertainment reporting. He is currently studying screenwriting at Chapman University. Aside from seeing movies, Michael enjoys making bad puns while playing video games, going on long late night drives, and socializing over large plates of food.

TV Review: Agent Carter (2X03) “Better Angels”

After a toneless, empty and ultimately disappointing two-hour premiere, Agent Carter Season 2 finds itself in a bit of a rough position. We’ve got mad scientists, Zero Matter and brown nosed government agents all thrown in a stew, overtaking the…

‘The Boy’ Review

Oh, what have we here? Yet another androgynous little doll, scared caretaker and mysterious events that could only be explained by the paranormal. It’s amazing how the same basic concept can be recycled so many times, but I suppose January…
