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
Spidey’s Brand New Day Swings Into Somber Sci-Fi Thriller Territory
3.5 out of 5 Spider-Men (Above Average) Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings so close to being great, but just misses that ledge.

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) I recently reviewed Obsession, a debut horror film made by a 20-something YouTuber-turned-filmmaker. Backrooms is another debut horror film from a 20-something YouTuber-turned-filmmaker, and despite 1 major gripe, I can proudly say that it and its creator are selling me on YouTube as a place for exciting fresh… Continue Reading
The Mandalorian And Grogu Should Have Stayed on TV
2 out of 5 Baby Yoda Memes (has some good moments, but is overall bad) When I was younger, my parents told me about a Brad Pitt film called Seven Years In Tibet that they claimed felt like being in a movie theater for seven years. I haven’t seen that film, but The Mandalorian and… Continue Reading
