Many a show has started off strong, so full of possibility, imagination, and promise. Yet starting well and finishing well are two different things, and plenty of wonderful shows have failed to stick their landing. Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way: the ending of Netflix’s The
As much as I thought Daenerys was an interesting character in HBO’s Game of Thrones adaptation, I was never overly invested in her ending up on the Iron Throne (Team Stark all the way!). And while I agreed that the final season of Game of Thrones felt rushed and somewhat
Despite my initial resistance (or dare I say, even apathy), I could not resist the charms of Deadpool & Wolverine. I was skeptical about this movie, because some of the recent Marvel content has been a miss for me personally. I enjoy the antics of Deadpool, but he’s not my
I hadn’t necessarily planned to watch the movie Twisters. But in much the same way I hadn’t initially planned to watch A Quiet Place: Day One, the surprisingly good reviews from critics and the general online buzz compelled me to give it a shot. And you know what? It’s a
Although I knew that, as soon as I saw the trailer for Fly Me to the Moon, I had to see this movie, I was also a bit unsure what to expect. I was interested in seeing Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum acting opposite each other in a romantic comedy
A Quiet Place: Day One was not the movie I was expecting it to be. While I thought the first Quiet Place movie was a clever and well-made horror film, I have to admit I can’t remember if I actually watched the sequel or not. And I wasn’t necessarily interested
Dearest gentle reader, I find that I must make a confession: I am hopelessly and utterly obsessed with Bridgerton. I devoured the newest episodes within days and am so desperate for more that I am rewatching all the previous episodes, despite the fact that I’m woefully behind on my list
I had no experience with the Mad Max franchise before going to see Fury Road in theaters back in 2015. I saw it because of the ESO podcast, actually, and I didn’t really know what to expect and was unsure if I’d end up liking it. However, the movie absolutely
This year, the summer 2024 blockbuster season feels a little different (and maybe even a little anticlimactic). My most anticipated blockbuster of the year – Dune: Part 2 – has already come and gone (don’t ask how many times I saw it in theaters, because it’s an embarrassingly high number).
At this point, I know I’m starting to sound like I’m being sponsored by Apple TV+, but I promise, I’m paying my own hard-earned cash for this streaming service. I just keep finding amazing new content on this platform that I’m really excited to talk about! While I’m sure there’s
My intention this year was to try out a bunch of different streaming services, subscribing to one at a time and then switching every couple months. Well, so far I’ve sort of failed at that goal, because I can’t seem to let go of Apple TV+. I loved Monarch: Legacy
The comparisons are inevitable. Last year’s Godzilla Minus One was a remarkable film (one of my favorites of the year). It had a thought-provoking story that combined exciting action with genuine emotion. The human characters had actual depth and moving arcs. I’m sure it comes as little surprise that Godzilla
