2023 Reviews – The Flash
Here’s something I wrote when I first saw The Flash trailer back in February – So, I don’t think these nostalgia-crammed whizzes are as exciting as they used to be. They probably peaked with Spider-Man: No Way Home, and since … Continued
2023 Reviews – Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
I may consider those that think Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man movie to be acting a fool, but it’s certainly a juggernaut in modern animation, that also breathed new life into what was becoming a repetitive Spider-Man … Continued
Retro Rankings: Rogers & Hammerstein
