Godzilla vs. Kong – A Movie Review
It’s all in the title, right? Let’s start with the positives–the special effects in Godzilla vs. Kong are spectacular. You see every hair on Kong’s body, every scale on Godzilla’s face. It really is very impressive. Also, when the two behemoths clash, it is epic. The falling buildings, the crashing waves, the displaced earth–they’ve got…

Derry Girls – A Few Thoughts
A friend once recommended that I give Netflix’s Derry Girls a try and, frankly, it didn’t do much for me. I watched the first episode and didn’t get it. However, we then saw several of the stars appear on The Great British Baking Show, and they were hilarious. I decided to try the show again…

Emma. – A Movie Review
After truly enjoying Little Women with my wife and daughters, I thought Emma. might be another hit with the family. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we never quite got around to watching it. My wife and I noticed that it was now available on HBO MAX, so at around ten o’clock at night, after the…

Radioactive – A Movie Review
My wife and I tend to enjoy movies based on historical events. Though we’d honestly never heard of Radioactive, we both like Rosamund Pike and I generally find Amazon Originals to be high quality. While we’re glad we watched Radioactive, we agreed that it probably isn’t for everyone. First of all, as expected, it is…

Broadchurch – A Few Thoughts
My in-laws recommended that my wife and I watch Broadchurch–we’re glad they did! Originally a British mystery series, Broadchurch is a fictional seaside town where two detectives, Hardy and Miller, must solve three brutal mysteries over the course of three seasons. David Tennant plays Hardy, a troubled detective who has moved to Broadchurch out of…

WandaVision – My First Impression
The long wait is over and the MCU streaming shows have finally arrived at Disney Plus! First up? WandaVision. Personally, the wait was well worth it. I don’t know what I expected from WandaVision, but it certainly exceeded whatever I had in mind. I’d like to initially say that the show is most delightful because…
