All the Bright Places is a well-told young adult drama, albeit occasionally a bit of a melodramatic one, with great performances by its two leads and a beautiful somber story that will resonate and emotionally move all audiences.

Ranking All 6 Live-Action Resident Evil Films
For the better part of the 2000s, the Resident Evil film series dominated the zombie apocalypse and video game adaptation box office numbers. With six films under its belt, Resident Evil still reigns as the highest-grossing video game adaptation films of all time, despite none of the films being met with critical acclaim. Helmed primarily by Paul W. S. Anderson with his now-wife Milla Jovovich in the starring role of all six films, the series still found financial success primarily in overseas markets.
Review: Watchmen
Watchmen is an unexpected deconstruction of the superhero genre in an interesting new world while simultaneously tackling heavy issues of racism, injustice and white supremacy. Packed with culture commentary, pitch-perfect casting and beautiful direction, Watchmen challenges the expectations of fans and, if viewers let it, takes them on one hell of a ride.
Ranking Every Season of American Horror Story
It’s the time when creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk typically give fans of their horror anthology series a new season. Unfortunately, due to the impact of COVID-19 on the entertainment industry, this will be the first time in its near decade-long run that American Horror Story will not be airing, although a tenth season is in the works for 2021.
Review: The Boys – Season One
In the over-saturated market of the superhero genre, Amazon’s The Boys offers an alternative look at heroes audiences have become all too familiar with. This, along with some excellent storytelling and a few charismatic performances, makes this one of the most exciting television series in recent years.
Review: Mulan (2020)
Disney’s latest attempt to adapt yet another beloved animated classic falls flat in almost every regard. With most of the fun and light-heartedness stripped away, there’s very little joy to be found in 2020’s live-action Mulan when compared to the predecessor, but some decent acting, directing and production design makes the film at least watchable.
Review: Love, Victor – Season One
As a follow-up to a beloved coming of age film, Love, Victor attempts to offer a more unique perspective on the coming out story. While it mostly succeeds at this goal, the series suffers from poor pacing and a highly unlikable protagonist.
