I say this with a heavy heart that The Batman (2022) is not as amazing as everyone will tell you that it is
The “Batman” isn’t as good as everyone says it is
Spiderman: No Way Home
I watched Spiderman. You watched Spiderman. We all watched Spiderman.
Shang-Chi
So I watched another comic book movie set in San Francisco during the throes of my homesickness. Unfortunately this one only spends a small portion in the city, and I gotta say- I want more… Kung Fu MCU Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings is probably the best, most satisfying MCU media to be...

Venom: Let there be Carnage
I was pretty happy watching Venom 2, but I think my viewing was biased due to the fact that I’m very homesick right now, and they kept running around my town doing stuff. In hindsight, I may have enjoyed the first film a lot more for the same reasons. [Heading 1] Venom 2 is a... Continue Reading →
Why Michael Bay’s Transformers films are Narrative Genius

The VVitch
The Witch, stylized as The VVitch, is a period piece psychological horror, with some fantastic acting, some inspired direction and cinematography unlike anything I’ve seen in a while.

The Suicide Squad is a ridiculous, bloody, meta, hilarious, excellent movie that absolutely deserves a watch. The writing is intelligent, the story is captivating,... Continue Reading →
On Agents of SHIELD Canonicity
Agents of SHIELD is one of the best superhero shoes out there. The characters are complex and nuanced, the storylines are believable and engaging, the effects border on acceptable. I get it. The show is cheesy. It’s campy, it’s cringey, it’s lo-fi. I’m not saying it’s the most polished, cinematic, earth shattering piece of media... Continue Reading →
Black Widow
Woof. What happened here? Marvel’s Black Widow is one of the few times I’ve felt that an MCU film was more miss than hit. I really wanted to like it, and there’s a lot to like. But there’s also some key chunks that are missing that really, really annoyed me. It feels like a tragic,... Continue Reading →
