Review: AMC’s ‘Moonhaven’ is Addictively Entertaining

AMC+’s Moonhaven premiered last week with two episodes. I found it addictively entertaining with rich world-building and great characters. It is an original story and stands apart from anything else on TV right now. Moonhaven is grounded science fiction that doesn’t rely on the glitz and glam of fancy tech run amok to tell a story but instead asks us to consider

‘Ms. Marvel’ Season Review: Marvel’s Most Ambitious Adaptation Yet

Six weeks ago, I said the first two episodes of Ms. Marvel were the most authentic adaptation Marvel had ever done.

Netflix’s ‘Resident Evil’ Review: Surprised and Enthralled

Resident Evil has been around almost as long as I have been alive. The first game debuted in 1996 and spawned a franchise across video games, film, comic books, and even audio dramas.

The hit show Stranger Things returned this summer on Netflix with its largest and most ambitious installment yet, Stranger Things 4.

‘Baymax!’ Season 1 Review: I’m Satisfied With My Care

Big Hero 6 is one of those films that just has so much potential. Having a special place in my heart, the movie from Walt Disney Pictures was based on a comic book series from Marvel. It follows 14-year-old Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter), as he comes to grips with losing his older brother in a tragic accident. With the help of

‘Stranger Things’ 4 Vol. 2 Review: Strong Performances and Insurmountable Odds

One thing that Stranger Things has mastered is the art of making fans wait. The break between seasons three and four was almost three years long, giving plenty of time for fans to speculate and anticipate the next chapter. However, for the first time in the show’s history, Netflix decided to split a season into two volumes, with the first one

‘Superman and Lois’ S2 Review: What a Bizarro World We Live In

Superman and Lois’s second season came to a close earlier this week, in a year where The CW shook everything up. Part of those major changes was the premature cancellations of many wildly popular shows, such as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Charmed.
