REVIEW: The Little Mermaid (2023)

virginiakublawi | May 27, 2023 | 0

When I heard that Disney was remaking The Little Mermaid, I felt a familiar mixture of dread and tepid hopefulness. The Little Mermaid isn’t my favorite Disney movie, but it’s an undisputed classic that saved the animation studio at a crucial juncture in its storied history. And I do ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 13, “A New World Part 4”

The Flash has been a bumpy road. It started almost impeccably with an outstanding first season; unfortunately, that would also prove to be its best season. The following two were very good, but as The Flash moved to the middle of its run, it showed signs of wear. The writers struggled to make their ...

Superman & Lois feels like its old self again in “The Dress,” a fantastic, character-driven episode that strikes the most human chord this season has yet. Lois’ cancer is front and center again, but it’s handled much better than it had been previously, in an honest way that humanizes thr...

The Flash’s final arc has been a bit lackadaisical in getting to the point. After a good first episode that set up a brewing conflict with The Negative Speed Force, it spent a week dawdling with Barry’s friends while he was almost entirely absent, resulting in all the main players being back whe...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 11, “A New World Part 2”

Remember the finale of Arrow, where Oliver Queen was gone till the last five seconds? That sucked pretty hard. “A New World Part 2” is that episode for The Flash, and while it isn’t nearly as bad as whatever that awful Arrow finale was called, Barry’s absence is felt. Fortunately, the damage...
