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.

  • Only Murders in the Building

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.

What happens at the end of West Side Story
West Side Story ends with one of the most devastating final acts in musical theatre — and it does not end the way its Shakespearean source does.

House of the Dragon is right in the thick of it: season 3 began on 21 June 2026 with the Battle of the Gullet and runs weekly on HBO until 9 August. But if you can't wait to learn how the Targaryen civil war shakes out, George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood — the 2018 history book the show adapts — already holds the answer.

What happens at the end of My Dress-Up Darling? Where the anime stops vs how the story really ends
My Dress-Up Darling closed its second season in September 2025 with a moonlit walk home, a swallowed confession, and a selfie — and no word of a season 3. The manga, meanwhile, finished its story back in March 2025, and it goes much, much further than the anime has dared. Here's exactly where the screen stops and the page keeps going.

How many episodes is The Pitt? It's not the usual season length
Most streaming dramas hand you eight episodes and call it a season. The Pitt does something no other hospital show has tried: one full emergency-department shift, told in real time, one hour per episode.

What happens at the end of Hazbin Hotel season 2? The final phone call, explained

Every nepo baby in The Pitt cast, from Bryan Cranston's daughter to Sean Astin's brother
Every nepo baby in The Pitt cast, from Bryan Cranston's daughter to Sean Astin's brother
The Pitt built its reputation on realism — a cast of fresh faces who look like actual overworked hospital staff rather than TV stars. Look at the surnames a little longer, though, and Hollywood royalty starts peeking through the scrubs.
