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.

Mrs. Doubtfire's ending almost went the other way — until Robin Williams said no
Mrs. Doubtfire's ending almost went the other way — until Robin Williams said no
Mrs. Doubtfire closes with Daniel and Miranda divorced — sharing their children, but not their lives. For a family blockbuster in 1993, that was a genuinely unusual final act. And it very nearly didn't happen. The version on the table had a far more conventional finish, and it took the film's own star to kill it.

For eleven seasons, Aaron Hotchner was the still centre of Criminal Minds — the unit chief who never raised his voice and rarely cracked a smile.
