Chibi Tiny Tales: A Cute Distraction

Ms. Marvel: A Delightful Suprise
Ms. Marvel is blissfully not part of the Marvel slush. It’s not rote or the same story again. Though dealing with a teenager coming of age, it’s not simply Spider-Man with a different protagonist. Instead—within the first three episodes—it becomes a family drama with the superhero aspects simply elevating the emotions.
Everything Everywhere All at Once: Beyond Amazing And Beyond Incredible
Everything Everywhere All at Once is a masterpiece. A culmination of increasingly popular science fiction topics, well-trodden philosophy, absurdist humor, and incredible fight choreography.
It Came From The Archives “Rules for Vanishing: Not The Novel You’d Expect”
Rules for Vanishing is such a different book from anything we’ve reviewed on the site in a long time. It’s a dark medley of The Wizard of Oz, Lovecraftian Horror, and The Blair Witch Project.
The House with a Clock In Its Walls: Ticks Away Towards Bad
The House with a Clock in Its Walls delighted at first but steadily worsened. The endless brownie points earned spent themselves too fast and left a husk of a film.
It Came From The Archives “Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon”
Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about.
Baymax! An Absolutely Delightful Little Show
Baymax! is formulaic, predictable, and utterly charming. It brings a smile with every single episode and feels like something special.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: An Enjoyable Mess
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a movie that could only exist this deep in the Marvel phenomenon. It doesn’t flow or function like an actual movie—it heavily assumes you’ve seen so much media. It doesn’t give you time or an adequate explanation for half the stuff that happens.
Why Anthology Series Are So Often Loved
my positive reviews of media like The Magnus Archives, Black Mirror, and The Twilight Zone weren’t a clear indication, I have a particular fondness for anthology storytelling.
It Came From The Archives! “The Old Guard: A Near-Perfect Action Movie”
The Old Guard is perfect at what it wants to be. It’s an action movie with a tight fantastical premise and stellar execution. By chance, I saw a five-minute scene and was immediately hooked.
The Tomorrow War: Secretly Not A War Movie
The Tomorrow War has a fantastic premise, talented actors, and stellar effects, yet it never comes together properly. The enthusiasm for its own appeal wanes, and it becomes a shell of a movie, running on formula and tropes.
The Matrix Resurrections: A Massive Letdown
The Matrix Resurrections is disappointing. This one sentence sums up the bulk of my opinions. I had such high hopes, especially with how good the first movie was, but I wasn’t feeling it by the end.
