'Nightflyers' turns George R.R. Martin novella into Syfy pretender

7 years 10 months ago
Having created the blockbuster "Game of Thrones," George R.R. Martin's works are suddenly in high demand. But "Nightflyers" -- a series based on a 1980s Martin novella -- proves a tediously generic haunted-house-in-space odyssey, one that Syfy is either (charitably) experimenting with or (more likely) rapidly exhausting by making all 10 episodes available simultaneously with its linear-TV debut.

'Mowgli' adds new chapter to 'Jungle Book' saga

7 years 10 months ago
"Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle" fell victim to a larger predator -- namely, Disney's big-budget reboot of "The Jungle Book." Yet if you admire Rudyard Kipling's source material in its various forms, this darker, more distinctly British take directed by Andy Serkis --the acting world's King of Motion Capture -- is an intriguingly complementary movie, well worth the time.
