Nicholas Cage films are like gas station burritos; most will leave you with food poisoning, but sometimes, one comes along that makes the whole hunt worth it. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Dream Scenario doesn’t fall into the so bad it’s good or Oscar-worthy poles of Cage’s career.
Much like its predecessor, Ready Player Two is a creature of nostalgia. This is both to its benefit and detriment as a story.
I went into Dune: Part 2 riding high on having just rewatched the first film, read the book, and seen the rave reviews. I was ready to become a changed man and pledge myself to the spice and church of director Dennis Villeneuve. Unfortunately, I left with a shrug.
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.

'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.
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.
