Roll up! Roll up! And see The One and Only Ivan! – That’s what I’ve done. That’s what I’m doing right now. And I’m going to talk about it. Let’s go! Ivan is a gorilla, and the final act in … Continued
2020 Reviews – Magic Camp
Alright, deep breaths. Disney+, what are you doing? This looks hokey, this looks jokey, and it looks like it belongs in the early 2000s. But alright, I’m psyching myself up to get the right carefree, relaxed, open-minded, child-hearted attitude to … Continued

2020 Reviews – The King of Staten Island
When Margie Carlin (Marisa Tomei) decides it’s time to date again, it displaces her stay-at-home son Scott (Pete Davidson), still unsure what to make of the emotional scars he’s acquired from losing his father to his job as a firefighter, … Continued
