Blu-ray Review: Masterminds

Considering all of the talent involved in Masterminds, it’s disappointing that it isn’t funnier. Wiig is one of our favourite comedians, but she’s left to flounder in what is largely a straight role outside of a few silly bits early on. Likewise, fellow SNL actress Kate McKinnon plays the same uncomfortably weird character she did in Ghostbusters — we’re talking nearly verbatim minus the science angle.

Blu-ray Review: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

Jack Reacher is an easy character to root for. He’s clever, resourceful and knows how to kick an ass or six at any time. Cruise handles the “fish out of water” pseudo parenting well, creating plenty of lighter moments to keep the story upbeat. His stunt work and high impact fighting sequences are top notch, though there are times when it feels like the line is blurring between Reacher and Mission Impossible’s Hunt.

The Wire Troll: Andre Burakovsky Coming Into His Own

In the last week, Eaves scored three goals, including two on the power play, had seven points, and saw his ice time rise from 14 minutes to nearly 19 minutes a game. This month, he’s scored nine points (5G-4A), and for the first half he has 18 goals (tied for the team lead in Dallas), including 10 on the power play, and 31 points, but beware if you want to add him because he is a -10 after the first half of the season, which is by far a career worst.

The Wire Troll: Domantas Sabonis Driving His Career Forward

This 19-year-old rookie has thrust himself into the limelight suddenly, showing tremendous pick-and-roll skills and a much-better shooting touch in recent games. With back-to-back double-doubles (and three over the last five games), plus excellent FT shooting for a young big man, Zubac is proving worthy of Fantasy consideration.

Video Game Review: Yakuza 0

As enjoyable as the combat can be, the strength of Yakuza 0 lies in its storytelling, unfurling a pair of compelling tales that serve as a great entry point into the series (or simply another layer of depth for longtime fans). For all the goofiness that permeates other aspects of the game, the main storylines are mature and well told.

Backstrom’s linemate has also scored 10 points (3G-7A) in the past five games and was +4 during this stretch. Oshie is averaging about 16 minutes, and over the last five games he’s put up 11 shots. So far this season in 37 games, he has tabulated 30 points (16G-14A), and is an eye opening +20.
