The Ton is back, new and improved. Bridgerton Season 2 brings back memories of Season 1, where we travel back to Victorian-era England, and the magnificence of the world at that time. The color palette is just as vibrant (yay!), and the series keeps a lot of the...

Halo (Review): Cinematic Exploration Without A Purpose
Halo is stunning. In both good and bad ways. Pablo Schreiber plays Master Chief in an awe-inspiring fashion, but his incredible performance falls short because of the lacking plot. Natascha McElhone is Dr. Halsey, and her daughter, Miranda Keyes, is portrayed by Olive...
The Adam Project (Review): A Lesson On Family
In case you were wondering, yes, The Adam Project is better than Red Notice. It's better than Deadpool 2. It's even better than Free Guy. A 104-minute load of Ryan Reynolds and Walker Scobell awesomeness will never be turned away. Yep, Walker Scobell. Reynolds may be...
Turning Red (Review): A Panda-Filled Frenzy Of Joy
I never expected Turning Red to be this good. When I started the film, I was expecting a bit better than Onward, and a bit below Luca and Toy Story 3. But wow. It was better than Onward, Toy Story 3, and even arguably Luca. What a film. That's not to say the film...
The 355 (Review): A Disappointing Film That Could’ve Done Better
I thought long and hard about what to write for The 355. I wanted so badly to give it a good review, as the film stars Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, and more. The more I thought about it, though, is that Simon Kinberg's latest film never really had a chance to...
The Book Of Boba Fett (Review): An Intriguing Tale That Mostly Delivers
It's hard to judge by only one episode, but The Book of Boba Fett is by no means whatsoever a disappointing series as of yet. It certainly has some disappointing elements, but the newest adventure from Lucasfilm is not "bad". It's simply....disorganized. The series...
Spider-Man: No Way Home (Review): A Love Letter To Spider-Man
Spider-Man: No Way Home is my favorite film of the year. And, it's not even close. This film celebrates three generations of Spider-Man, and it succeeds in every way. For the first time, I do not have a single complaint about the film I'm reviewing. It is perfect in...
West Side Story (Review): A Story That Shines In The Darkest Of Times
West Side Story is amazing. There's no doubting that. The love in which Steven Spielberg puts into this film, the heart. He's never done a musical before, but he directs West Side Story like a pro. The cast doesn't hurt the film either, Rachel Zegler shines as Maria,...
