The M0vie Blog’s Review of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”

The M0vie Blog has probably a lot on their plate and just like other bloggers **coughsmecoughs*, hasn’t yet had the time to review the new season of The X-Files.  But thankfully there is still a review for, oh, every single other episode of the show AND both movies, so I think I’ll be OK for… Read More The M0vie Blog’s Review of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”

Apt. 42’s Review of The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 6: ‘My Struggle II’

Although at first I was a little put off by the new, Season 10 episodes of The X-Files, I have to admit that I am starting to reconsider my opinion.  I still think the execution was lacking–the first and last episodes of the run were too hurried and not particularly well written, for example, and… Read More Apt. 42’s Review of The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 6: ‘My Struggle II’

TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 3: ‘Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster’

The hurried and packed nature of first episode of The X-Files revival left me feeling both incredibly happy and a little harried; the second episode left me happy and intrigued; the third episode left me laughing and elated.

TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 2: ‘Founder’s Mutation’

It was so nice seeing a new episode of The X-Files with the season opener, “My Struggle”. But while it revived something I had feared long dead (do you know the number of petitions I signed?) it was also an episode so crammed and cramped it left me feeling dissatisfied—kind of like when you overeat… Read More TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 2: ‘Founder’s Mutation’

TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 1: ‘My Struggle’

The X-Files Revival: Reviving More Than Just Aliens and Monsters-of-the-Week

It doesn’t seem far-fetched to claim, in North America at least, that the majority of people would agree that men and women are equal. However, it’s one thing to say it and quite another to act on it. In 2016, we continue to see a lot of contradictions between what we say we believe in… Read More The X-Files Revival: Reviving More Than Just Aliens and Monsters-of-the-Week
