Ernie Hudson guest stars in an Arrow episode that feels like a classic mission-of-the-week, but struggles with the flash-forwards
This Arrow review contains spoilers.
Arrow Season 7 Episode 19
It’s always a good day to see Ernie Hudson on screen. Arrow brings in the heavy hitter for a crime-fighting caper episode with a classic feel. This Diggle-centric episode is long overdue and makes excellent use of its guest star, multiple timelines, and the show’s accumulated history, playing out similar themes across multiple generations of fathers, sons, and brothers. Over in 2040, however, we see the unfortunate downside to the future tense, where neither characters onscreen nor writers of the show seem to have adequately learned their lessons, making things feel a bit trapped in amber.
It’s hard to work in long-lost relatives seven season deep, but a step-father you don’t talk about because you wish he never existed (and...

A major theater chain is coming very close to perfecting the worst possible way to watch a movie.
Cinépolis revealed plans to put a children’s playground in movie theaters. The first-of-its kind design in the U.S. (photo above) plops a 55-foot long and 25-foot high “play structure” inside the auditorium itself.
The first two “Cinépolis Junior” theaters will open this month in Southern California.
The move comes at a time when most cinema chains — led by pioneer Alamo Drafthouse Cinema — are becoming increasingly strict about limiting disruptions in theaters by banning talking,...

Madam Secretary, Season 1, Episodes 12-17
Created by Barbara Hall
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
Madam Secretary‘s first season has been built on the backbone of the mysterious murder of the former Secretary of State and the question of what he was involved in that would cause him to be murdered. The answers have been coming in slowly throughout the season, as Elizabeth McCord’s list of suspects are cut shorter and shorter. One of the main suspects that McCord had under investigation in the first half of the season was White House Chief of Staff Russell Jackson, whom she confronted with her suspicions in the mid season finale “Game On”, concluding that arc in away that fell in line with the tone of the series.
The show’s return has seen Russell Jackson brought into the loop, but not the President himself, as they all agree not...
