Ted
When writing about Ted it's hard not to think that talking props, toys, furniture, animals, and even cars have been a common occurrence in fantasy fiction forever, but ever since the release of ...
Movies
The Day After Tomorrow
Disaster films (and such is The Day After Tomorrow), due to the premise alone focusing mostly on the spectacle itself, are often disasters in terms of quality, or at best, semi-disasters. Not to say ...
In the Heights
I must admit that if it was not for my wife my knowledge of musicals would be able to be written on the back of a postage stamp! However, I enjoyed Hamilton on Disney Plus and as In the Heights is ...
Armageddon
Michael Bay and disaster or destruction walk the same path, be it the literal disaster that his films depict, or the disaster that his films mostly are as a quality. If there's a director who fits ...
No Time to Die

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
I am a massive Breaking Bad fan! I would easily rank Breaking Bad in my top 10 TV shows of all time. I hold it in such high regard that I was actually a little nervous when I heard that El Camino: A ...
Quantum of Solace
James Bond films come in all qualities. From great spy thriller films like Casino Royale, Skyfall, and Goldfinger, to absolute misfires like Die Another Day and the original Casino Royale. Following ...
