REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 1, Episode 10 “O Mother, Where Art Thou?”

AlexGherzo | Jun 16, 2021 | 0

“O Mother, Where Art Thou?” is a mostly good episode, but it has Superman & Lois’ first stumble in presenting Superman’s story as it should be (outside of the absent red shorts). It actually feels almost like a season finale, or at least the episode before the mid-season break – and ju...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 13 “Masquerade”

AlexGherzo | Jun 16, 2021 | 0

While watching “Masquerade,” I got the impression The Flash was either trying and failing to assure us that we wouldn’t miss Cisco or rubbing our nose in losing our avatar by showing us the cavalcade of suck with which he’s been replaced. And, to help things along, they made it extra boring;...

On Thursday, June 10th, In the Heights was released to HBO Max and theaters. The film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 2008 Broadway sensation comes just under a year after Hamilton hit Disney+ and turned me into a fan. I think this gave many people expectations for In the Heights that it otherw...

REVIEW: Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

2011 saw the release of Kung Fu Panda 2, a sequel that had a lot to live up to. Personally, I think the first Kung Fu Panda is one of DreamWorks Animation’s best films, and it’s regrettable how it’s been lost in the shuffle. The somewhat unexpected return of the Dragon Warrior was ...
