I love Predator. It is one of my favorite movies. I will watch everything that features the Yautja, no matter how bad they are. I have known disappointment so many times that my hope for the series is fleeting. When I heard about Prey, there was the bittersweet sensation of cautious excitement because the trailer...

Movie Review: Lightyear (2022)
Source Lightyear has just been released on Disney+, and after watching it, I understand why it flopped so badly. The first few minutes show promise. I was optimistic about the story because Buzz was interesting. Unfortunately, the rest of this movie turned into a disappointing and generic kids' action movie. Buzz is the lone wolf archetype...

Series Review: Paper Girls (2022)
Source Paper Girls is an interesting take on the time travel narrative that I am sure you will enjoy. Where most time travel narratives create a complex journey full of plot holes and redundancies, Paper Girls creates a creative narrative about womanhood within an epic time travel adventure. The series focuses on a group of four girls who... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Slash/Back (2022)
Slash/Back is a low-budget horror movie that you should at least consider supporting. The acting isn't great, and the special effects are cheesy, but it tells an important story from an under-represented perspective. I had enough fun with this movie that I feel comfortable recommending it, but I understand it is not for everyone. In a... Continue Reading →
Series Review: Star Trek: Prodigy(2021)

With The Diviner after them, they must learn to fly the ship and work together as a functioning crew. Will they be able to overcome... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: Star Trek: Picard
Picard is my introduction to Star Trek. I've seen the movies, but I wasn't a fan of the movies. As someone who is unfamiliar with the show, this was a great place to start. While it is a little preachy at points, it did make me start watching some of the older shows. If you... Continue Reading →
Halo Series Revisited
Source Now that I have seen more episodes of the Halo series, I want to revisit my initial assessment. Halo is a good show if you have never seen a sci-fi show before. Otherwise, it is a generic and unimpressive attempt at sci-fi with a halo skin. If you are a fan of the game, don't bother. It has... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Source Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a quality sequel that you should go watch in theaters if you enjoyed the first one. The characters are well cast, the story is fun, and if you aren't crying from how hard you are laughing, you have no sense of humor. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a fun kids' movie that...

TV Series Reviews: Halo (2022) First Impression
Source I honestly forgot this show was in the making. It's been a while since I've played any of the Halo games, and while I am not the biggest fan, I do remember enjoying it. I went into this series with the faintest memory of the story, making this a whole new experience. My advice... Continue Reading →
TV Shows Review: Upload
Source It is hard to recommend Upload because it isn't for everyone. I would describe this show as a cheesy, sci-fi romance novel about death. It does a good job of going over different philosophies about death. I really like the concept of saving a person's consciousness so that it lives forever. What I don't... Continue Reading →
