Review: Tenet

Famed director Christopher Nolan’s most recent film is an enjoyable, if convoluted, outing. While Tenet will be remembered for its mind-blowing special effects and production design, its hurt by its unnecessarily confusing narrative, stagnant performances and soulless story.

Review: A Quiet Place Part II

Proving that his first outing was not a fluke, director John Krasinski stuns again in one of the best horror film sequels of all time. Building off the success of the 2018 film, A Quiet Place Part II is a masterpiece of horror sound and atmosphere with some excellent performances to back it up. While it comes just a tad short of the first film, it remains a worthwhile sequel that fans of the original cannot miss.

Review: Promising Young Woman

Promising Young Woman is an excellent directorial debut for Emerald Fennell with an outstanding lead performance, despite a final turn that works in terms of shock value, but severely derails the message of the film, almost the the point of cheapening everything that was so wonderful before it.

Review: Wonder Woman 1984

The highly anticipated sequel to the fantastic 2017 film Wonder Woman is a rather mixed bag, but it's filled with quite a few sweet treats if you let yourself overlook enough to enjoy it. Not without its many faults, particularly with its storytelling, the film still manages to entertain those fans of the Amazonian demigoddess.

My Top 10 Episodes of Glee

Glee was one of the most influential pieces of television when it first debuted in 2009 to wide critical acclaim. The high school melodrama combined with a rag-tag, diverse group of unpopular teenagers coming together to sing in a glee club was something so new at the time. Although the quality certainly dipped in later seasons, Glee more than staked its spot in television history.

Review: Defending Jacob

In what may appear as a run-of-the-mill murder mystery on the surface, Defending Jacob is actually a refreshingly eerie take on the genre. With a dark story filled with twists and turns, beautiful direction and outstanding cast performances at its core, the AppleTV miniseries sets itself apart by being one of the best series of 2020.

Review: The Mandalorian – Season One

With the Star Wars fandom completely divided on how Disney has handled the property since it’s acquisition, it seems as though there is one thing both sides can agree on: The Mandalorian is a fantastic show.

Review: Star Wars Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker

Despite being the weakest entry in Disney’s Star Wars sequel trilogy because of its messy plot elements and confusing narrative, The Rise of Skywalker effectively ends the Skywalker Saga with plenty of epic, fan-pleasing moments.
