It’s the most wonderful time of the year…that time when everyone debates what is or isn’t a Christmas movie. It depends! Is the movie about Christmas or is it just set at Christmas time? Well, while you guys are yelling at each other about which category Die Hard falls into (it’s the latter!), I’m watching […]

The Predator (2018)
You don’t have to know me well at all to know that Predator is my favorite movie of all-time. People text me when it’s on TV. People send me pictures of kids dressed up as Predator. People send me posts of guys riding motorcycles with Predator helmets. Predator is sort of my thing, you see. […]
Binge-Watch: Netflix’s Mindhunter
A gloomy October weekend can only mean one thing: it’s time to curl up on the couch with a tasty beverage and get ready for a good, old-fashioned Binge-Watch! For this edition, I’ve just powered through all 10 episodes of Netflix’s new psychological thriller series, Mindhunter. Let me just get this out there right now: […]

If you have read my reviews before, you know how much I love an introductory paragraph. But not this time. I’m going to cut right to the chase: Christopher Guest’s new direct-to-Netflix movie, Mascots, is not good. Bummer, I know! I’ve had a crush on Christopher Guest ever since I first saw This is […]
Binge-Watch: Netflix’s Stranger Things
Guess what time it is? Time to binge-watch, baby! If you’re looking for a new show to occupy your free time this summer, I highly recommend Netflix’s newest original series, Stranger Things. Created and written by Matt and Ross Duffer, it’s an 80s nostalgia fest and a sci-fi thriller – sort of like a modern […]
Binge-Watch: Amazon’s Mad Dogs
Welcome to another edition of Binge-Watch! By now, you most certainly know how much I love to veg out on a newly released show. This latest binge session was courtesy of Amazon’s newest original series, Mad Dogs. With plenty of faces you’re sure to recognize, Mad Dogs is yet another entry in the category of […]
Spoiler-free Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The first time I saw any Star Wars movie in the theater was in 1983, when Return of the Jedi was released. I was 4. It was a major deal in my family, so much so that when Christmas rolled around 7 months later, my siblings and I were still super excited to receive Star […]
Binge-Watch: Amazon’s Catastrophe
Tired of the same old Boy-Meets-Girl stories? You’re in luck, because Amazon recently released its latest original series, Catastrophe. Created, written by, and starring Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, Catastrophe is fundamentally a boy-meets-girl story, but with a few complications thrown in. American advertising executive Rob Norris is in London for a brief business trip, […]
Maggie
As you may have noticed, several of us here at Ruthless have a soft spot in our hearts for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and by “soft spot,” I mean that we love watching him deliver cheese-ball one-liners and blow shit up. And you will certainly have heard by now that Arnold is about to reprise his role […]
Binge-Watch: Netflix’s Bloodline
I love a good marathon. Put a new show on Netflix, and I’m there, powering through a whole season in about a day; lately, Netflix has been giving us plenty of shows to binge-watch. Originally, I had planned to review the new Tina Fey Netflix comedy, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I watched the entire first season […]
