2023 Reviews – The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is weird. Giving up your voice in exchange for three days with human legs, even to pursue the love of your life, is not a great deal. As it turns out, Prince Eric is initially turned off … Continued
2023 Reviews – Peter Pan & Wendy
Oh, Disney and their live-action remakes. I’ve been at odds with the general critic consensus that say these remakes offer nothing new, or that they change details superficially, or that they screw around with important minor details that ruin the … Continued
2023 Reviews – Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Alright, so I’ve heard this movie is nothing short of amazing. I love the original Shrek, but I’ve struggled to get into the resulting sequels, where this Puss in Boots was originally conjured. He’s a bit of a nothing character … Continued

2023 Reviews – Shazam! Fury of the Gods
