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 trademarks that Season 1 was come to… Continue reading Bridgerton Season 2 (Review): Well, The Ton Is Back

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 Gray. It’s an incredible cast, but the main issue is that the… Continue reading Halo (Review): Cinematic Exploration Without A Purpose

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 the credited lead for the film, but it’s Scobell… Continue reading The Adam Project (Review): A Lesson On Family

Turning Red (Review): A Panda-Filled Frenzy Of Joy

RED ALERT – In Disney and Pixar’s all-new original feature film “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Mei Lee “poofs” into a giant panda when she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS). This unfortunate new reality for the teenager lands her in a multitude of awkward situations. Featuring Rosalie Chiang as the voice of Mei Lee, “Turning Red” will debut exclusively on Disney+ (where Disney+ is available) on March 11, 2022. © 2022 Disney/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.

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 doesn’t… Continue reading Turning Red (Review): A Panda-Filled Frenzy Of Joy

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 succeed and amaze while… Continue reading The 355 (Review): A Disappointing Film That Could’ve Done Better

The Book Of Boba Fett (Review): An Intriguing Tale That Mostly Delivers

(L-R): Boba Fett (Temura Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) in Lucasfilm's THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, exclusively on Disney+. © 2021 Lucasfilm Ltd. & ™. All Rights Reserved.

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 has its ups and downs and has more of the former… Continue reading The Book Of Boba Fett (Review): An Intriguing Tale That Mostly Delivers

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 almost every way (aside from one… Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home (Review): A Love Letter To Spider-Man
