Around this time las year, my sister gave me and my folks access to her Disney+ account; and one of the first things I've watched was The Mandalorian. It was so good, I binged both seasons in an entire weekend. It's the western I'd recommend to people who don't like westerns. And with this episode,... Continue Reading →
Does anyone remember this movie? I remember seeing a trailer for this movie back in 2009 when I went to see The Invention of Lying. A month after its release to DVD, I'd watch the trailer constantly. And then, it just vanished out of mind. It wasn't until a TikTok that centered on a joke... Continue Reading →
One thing I've heard in looking at other people's takes on this show is complaints about how the show "ruined" Boba Fett's character. And to that I have to say, "What character?" The three lines he had in the original trilogy? Or the Robot Chicken version of him? Now, I haven't seen The Clone Wars... Continue Reading →
I remember watching the first Boss Baby movie a few years ago in Senior Days for college and was eager to come back to it when I reviewed it last year, especially to get it out in time for the sequel. But life got in the way and I decided to check it out recently... Continue Reading →
Origin stories for villains are quite common. What started with Maleficent, has moved to villains like the Joker, Norman Bates, and even Nurse Ratched. But when I heard this movie was made, I made fun of the idea behind it. It wasn't until hearing ads for it at work I decided to give it a... Continue Reading →
After watching the last episode, I found a friend of mine comparing the series to The Godfather: Part II, and in many ways, I get it. Both follow a crime boss trying to govern and how they came to power. The only issue with that is that Vito Corleone was already established as an influential... Continue Reading →
After watching the first episode, I heard many people talk about how it feels like one of the Expanded Universe books. And I can see that with the look into Boba Fett in-between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian. But at the same time, I've enjoyed seeing the dealings in the sci-fi underbelly. And...

Another year has come and passed, and I look back at the movies that I've covered on the site and what's ahead. And this was an interesting year. Movie theaters have become safer to go to, but it took me until September to go to them. I also had to balance work here with my... Continue Reading →
I never got the appeal of Boba Fett. Yes, his armor was pretty cool and his role as a bounty hunter made him mysterious, but I was more drawn to Luke and Han. In The Mandalorian, Temuera Morrison fleshed out the character as a rugged shell of the fan favorite. And then the post-credit scene... Continue Reading →
Season One of "Marvel's 'What If...?'" has been completed for some time; and in that time, I've been able to think more about each episode. And like I said in my piece on episodic reviewing, I took the time to look over the past season and rank each episode. The placement of each episode comes... Continue Reading →
Happy Holidays! It's that time of year where I get to watch festive movies and call it work. All kidding aside, I've seen ads for this movie on social media and it piqued my interest. I've heard people say it was reminiscent of "A Christmas Story." And even though I've never seen it, I can... Continue Reading →
Marvel's "What If...?" has wrapped up. And while my ranking of the episodes will be out before the end of the year, I wanted to reflect on my experience with reviewing Season 1. Specifically, looking back on the show, I wanted to give some behind the scenes looks at my experience with it. Normally, Mitchell... Continue Reading →
The past five years have been a heyday for Lin-Manuel Miranda. Since the meteoric rise of "Hamilton" in 2016 and his work on "Moana," the last two years have been particularly monumental for his career. Not only with his magnum opus' release on Disney+, but this year has reintroduced audiences to "In the Heights" and... Continue Reading →
After a year and half, I finally went back to the cinema. And while some were excited for Shang-Chi or the latest James Bond movie, I decided to check out the real box office juggernaut. That's right, a movie based off a Tony-winning musical that has people talking about the lead's age because he plays... Continue Reading →
Critic's Note: While I've covered spoilers before in previous episodes I've reviewed, this one will be going over the post-credit scene. And here we are at the season finale. The show started as a series of alternate MCU scenarios that showed how the events of "Loki" and "WandaVision" unraveled the multiverse in the post-Infinity Saga... Continue Reading →
Last week's cliffhanger got me on the edge of my seat; just like the many other scenarios presented before. But when I saw that the shot of Ultron in Vision's body emerging to Party Thor's world with the Infinity Stones on his torso, I wanted to see what this Ultron was capable of. And this... Continue Reading →
The last few episodes have been on a dark streak, ranging from somber deaths of beloved characters to villains succeeding -- even the collapse of the universe. But watching the beginning of this episode, with a shaven god of Thunder with a look that was more laid back, it was clear that this episode was... Continue Reading →
Ever since the first trailer, this was one of the scenarios many Marvel fans (myself included) have been anticipating from the series. The shot of Killmonger and a Stark Industries missile in the horizon set the tone for this series and showed fans how endless the possibilities were. While on the fateful Afghanistan trip that... Continue Reading →
One thing that has kept me hooked on this show is to see how far things will go in these timelines. And even when I have an idea about an episode like this, I never know what to expect. This follows the way of last week's on unexpected takes that left me wanting more and... Continue Reading →
Up until now, I was in the dark about each episode, not knowing what the show had in store until the premiere day. But last night, as I was preparing my content plans for the month and noticed a tweet that hinted this episode. With a title and trailer, I was able to prepare myself... Continue Reading →
