GAME OF THRONES 8×06: "THE IRON THRONE"
And now our watch is ended. But did Game of Thrones, or its characters, get the ending they deserved?
ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW BOOK, NOW AVAILABLE: THE UNAFFILIATED CRITIC'S GUIDE TO SEASONS 1-3 OF GAME OF THRONES
Announcing the first of three e-books, collecting all my writing on Game of Thrones.
ROCKETMAN (2019)
Dexter Fletcher's Rocketman is endearingly goofy, and occasionally moving, but only rarely transcends the shallow limitations of a jukebox musical.
LIVE AND LET DIE (1973)
Last year, the Unenthusiastic Critic met Sean Connery's James Bond. Now, she's ready for Moore.
US (2019)
Jordan Peele's triumphant sophomore effort is a smart and terrifying cinematic ordeal, and a disturbingly dark mirror held up to America.
