Talk about disgraceful conduct and an attitude of entitlement when it comes to being a man calling the shots among women trying to make a name for themselves and get ahead in their careers. That is the story of Fox News chief Roger Ailes (John Lithgow), as told in some gory detail in Bombshell. The…
It can be a little challenging to find reality TV to group watch that appeals to everyone in the family. Do you need a good sized injection of the feel goods for your crew? Watch The Zoo: San Diego. Seriously – have you ever seen anything as adorable as a Klipspringer calf? No, indeed you…

It’s party time as some of the greatest artists from the ‘50s to today take to the stage … again. Well, not really … but as reimagined in tribute form. And they are good – very darn good. The history of Legends in Concert dates back close to four decades. It made its Las Vegas debut in…
Shaun the Sheep (2015) was one of the funniest animations – in fact movies per se – that I have seen, so I was mighty keen to see the sequel. It has a lot in it to satisfy children, but not so much adults – as the first one did. Set in the quiet township…
