Calamity Jane

A low-budget Western more notable for the reunion of Arrow stars Emily Bett Rickards and Stephen Amell than anything else, Rickards stars as Calamity Jane out for revenge after Wild Bill Hickock (Amell in pretty awful wig) is killed in a Deadwood saloon while she’s cooling her heels in a jail cell. After breaking out, Jane hunts down the man responsible (Primo Allon) who hires a crazy murderer (Priscilla Faia) and her brothers to provide protection on his way through the lawless Badlands.

Scooby-Doo - Wednesday is Missing

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Often referred to as the “lost” episode of the series because Warner was never able to get the rights to release it on DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming, “Wednesday is Missing” is an odd episode that attempts to be both a Scooby-Doo mystery and a backdoor pilot of sorts for the eventual The Addams Family cartoon. It serves the latter better than the former and in many ways is probably best forgotten as its certainly one of the weakest classic Scooby-Doo episodes ever made.

Atlas

Born from tales of robots rising up against their creators explored in countless science fiction novels and films over decades, Atlas is a lacking entry in the genre that offers so little in terms of original ideas one begins to wonder if the script might have been AI generated. Set in a distant future where AI have risen up against humanity we then jump to an even more distant future where humans are hunting the AI leader having escaped them decades prior.

Challengers

What a mess. You know you are in trouble when in the final act of a film, particularly a sports film, you find yourself with no investment or interest in the outcome. Honestly, shouldn’t I be cheering for someone? Anyone? Anyone at all? A Challenger is a tennis tournament, often with local sponsorship for small prize money, for those not quite good enough for the main tour tournaments. The film from director Luca Guadagnino and writer Justin Kuritzkes is aptly named as it too is not-yet-ready for prime time.

Holmes & Houdini #3

Holmes & Houdini #3

The three-issue mini-series concludes with Erica Houdini and Spencer Holmes teaming up to stop the dangerous, but completely inept, Nolen who is doing pretty good at ruining his own plans by losing control of the artifact and flooding the world long before the women (dressed in questionable attire) reach him. His attempt to paint the pair as enemies of technology goes absolutely nowhere as the concept is never followed up on and the pair just defeat him in a overly-drawn-out action sequence.
