About Craig Ellison

Craig Ellison has been writing about entertainment for nearly a decade — from college newspapers to major film publications. His work focuses on adult animation (Futurama, Solar Opposites), video game adaptations (Castlevania: Nocturne), dark fantasy (Jujutsu Kaisen, Daemons of the Shadow Realm), and horror (Mike Flanagan, John Carpenter's The Thing, and anything A24 touches).

Before shifting fully into entertainment, Craig spent over six years as a baseball writer, publishing weekly articles across multiple outlets. That sports background gave him an unusual but useful skill: he treats streaming rankings, IMDb scores, and release schedules like a box score — with healthy skepticism and a soft spot for the underdog.

Craig got his start in student journalism at Illinois Valley Community College (writing for The IV Leader) before transferring to Eureka College on the Stephen W. Rigazio scholarship. At Eureka, he wrote for The Pegasus, covering everything from campus happenings to politics — including the 2020 election and Palestine. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's in Communication.

Why trust his reviews: Craig watches everything he covers. No second-hand takes. No fluff. Just honest opinions from someone who has spent nearly a decade writing professionally about film, TV, and animation.

Craig writes for CineCorner independently. All views are his own.

Where is Death in Paradise filmed in Cornwall? The show you're thinking of goes by another name
Two BBC detective dramas, one shared universe, and a great deal of crossed search traffic. One of them films in the eastern Caribbean. The other films on the south coast of Cornwall, in a town of about 5,000 people with a working fish market. They are not the same programme.

Why did Rachel leave Suits? The writers knew a year before the rest of the world did
Meghan Markle joined Suits in 2011 as paralegal Rachel Zane and left at the end of season 7, married off to Mike Ross and dispatched to Seattle to run a law firm. The exit landed neatly — a wedding, a clean send-off, no loose ends.

Peaky Blinders: what happened to Arthur?
Arthur Shelby is dead when Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man opens on Netflix — no scenes, no return for Paul Anderson, and an official version of events that the film spends its runtime dismantling. He survived all six series. He doesn't survive the gap between them and the film.

The snow gives away what happens at the end of Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands opened in December 1990 with a framing device most viewers half-forget by the time the credits roll: an elderly woman in a bedroom, telling a story to her granddaughter. The film cuts back to her at the very end. What she says there answers the only question the plot leaves open.
