NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS “Ding dong, The Dragon is dead.” It doesn’t happen very often, but throughout our lives there are movies, books, shows, etc. that seem to be made for us. They speak to our inner-self on some unquantifiable level. When Hannibal‘s pilot first aired April 4th, 2013, it ticked all of my […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS Before anything else, I’d just like to say one thing: Poor Dr. Chilton! Throughout the second arc, Francis Dolarhyde has been getting closer and closer to harming the main cast. First, he tangled with Will Graham at the Brooklyn Museum and then he almost murdered Will’s family. Now, in the […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS An interesting thing about doing reviews is that it’s always much harder to write about something that’s good versus something that’s bad. Negative aspects are typically more glaring and conspicuous. I guess it goes back to the old Murphy’s Law adage: “Nobody notices when things go right.” With that said, […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS At first glance, it may seem like I’ve made a mistake and accidentally repeated last week’s title. They are very similar, (much like the William Blake paintings that inspired them), but this one reads “clothed in sun,” as opposed to “clothed with the sun.” It’s obvious that Reba McClane is […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” That passage from Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil has been quoted so many times, in countless forms of media, it’s practically the grandfather of […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS Last time, I mentioned how “Digestivo” felt like the official ending to Season 2. A week later that feeling remains because “The Great Red Dragon” could easily work as the first episode of a completely new season as Hannibal changes gears from a globe-trotting thriller back into an exciting police […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS Well, ladies and gentlemen, the first arc of Season Three is finally over. My experience watching “Digestivo” can be summed up by three different reactions: yelling out in shock, giggling morbidly, and asking my fellow viewers: “how in the world did they get away with that on public television?” I […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS With only one episode remaining, Season Three’s first arc seems determined to fill its remaining time with as much lurid pageantry as possible. If Hannibal sustains this current level of bloodshed, I fear that the entire cast is going to end up permanently crippled and will have to chase each […]
NOTE: REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS If you haven’t been enthralled with this season so far, then prepare yourself. Make sure the edge of your seat is quite comfortable; because that’s where you’re going to be spending most of your time while watching this recent installment. “Contorno” is a bonafide nail-biter crowned with a grisly, heart-stopping […]
