.5 out of 5 stars (The worst of the year) As I’ve shared a few times in the past, I’m on the autism spectrum. While it comes with many benefits, one of its biggest drawbacks is that my brain can sometimes spiral or panic when certain subjects are brought up or focused on for extended… Continue Reading
Verity: Solidly Salacious Smut Carried By Anne Hathaway
3 out of 5 moody voiceovers (Average) Verity is the kind of cinematic smut that once filled the autumn multiplexes. Star-studded, melodramatically sexy, and just mindless fun for a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s based on a book by Colleen Hoover (who is rapidly becoming the 2020’s answer to Nicolas Sparks in popular book adaptations that… Continue Reading

The original was a bridge into more mature stories for me with its mixture of wit, sentimentality, and dark fantasy drama, and this follow-up continues in… Continue Reading
Coyote Vs. Acme: Looney Legal Comedy Succeeds More on Slapstick Than Story
3 out of 5 defective Acme products (average) I’ve enjoyed Looney Tunes ever since I was a kid. I’ve seen many of their shorts, grew up rewatching Space Jam and Looney Tunes Back In Action on VHS, and liked their last 2 theatrical outings: Space Jam: A New Legacy and The Day The Earth Blew… Continue Reading
