Mean Girls shines when it distances itself from its source material, but unfortunately, it doesn’t do it enough. Granted, this is a film based on a Broadway musical based on a film, so we’re three layers into remake inception at this point. Maybe I was expecting too much, but at the end of the day, this movie left me longing for the original cast and I almost turned it off several times to watch the 2004 classic.
I am making my way through the wizarding series, and I’ve restarted my journey with Sourcery. Rincewind, the presumed protagonist, is a cowardly wizard who can’t do much magic, and I liked him significantly more in this outing compared to Color of Magic.
MI:2 seems to take itself far less seriously than MI:1, but I honestly can’t tell if that’s on purpose or just the film showing its age.
Sometimes, the only way to get through the cycle is to procrastinate and make a comic about the cycle with your wife.
Overall, my opinion of Dune is relatively steady; it’s a wonderful film with an incredible score and beautiful imagery. The action is phenomenal, but the film is carried by the unsettling tension between its characters.
'm thrilled to share that my latest audiobook, "The First Ambassador to Crustacea," a crab-infused science fiction novella, is now available for your listening pleasure!
While often confusing and manic, this is a naked, hilarious, and often heartbreaking look at what living with bipolar is like.
American Fiction is a film about a writer who is fed up with the current state of what people are writing… and I resonated with that.
Poor Things is an impossible mix of classic monster movie, scathing indictments of society, and a whimsical backdrop that feels like a Tim Burton fever dream.
I made the decision to come back to this series after recently rewatching Ghost Protocol and remembering how much I love the over-the-top action and humor. Mission Impossible: 1 (MI:1) almost feels like it’s from a completely different franchise.
