Yes, I am aware of Apple's new sci-fi series called Dark Matter. It's based on a pretty good book by author Blake Crouch that was released a few years after the show premiered. Unlike our Dark Matter, it's not a far future ship-based adventure but more a contemporary SF thriller involving parallel worlds. Sure, the…

Black Swan (2010) A committed dancer struggles to maintain her sanity after winning the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jaI1XOB-bs Thoughts: Overwrought, pretentious and surprisingly unsubtle in its thematic execution. The horror elements are cliched and, at times, unintentionally hilarious. Also, men are the worst, amiright? 3/5 Censor (2021) After viewing…

So, yesterday, I met up with my long-time fantasy football rival and former Dark Matter VFX Supervisor Lawren Bancroft-Wilson who was in town visiting family.
