Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
—
I’ve changed my mind about Sorcerer’s Stone (really, Philosopher’s Stone, thank you) over the years: it’s a lot more fun, colorful, and downright magical, if you will, than the latter films in the series. It’s worn well over time. Things are relatively low-stakes as we get to know our main characters and this universe. Plus, I…

Since the advent of the film website, the shift of the entertainment industry into the digital realm has been monumental. From streaming services to fulfill consumer needs for immediate access, playlists curated through algorithms, and the ability to start a movie or series halfway through, and so forth.

Arcane Season 2 Review
—
Season 1 of Arcane easily gets an A+. It was so good that my wife and I watched it again before watching season 2. But, it didn’t help us follow the story because in season 2 the plot and character motivations are all over the map. In the end I stopped trying to figure out…

The Star Trek Story We Needed – 765874 Unification
—
in Star TrekOftentimes, the best gift is the one we don’t expect. That’s how I feel after watching 765874 – Unification. Unification says more in 7 1/2 minutes of dialog-less video than the last three Star Trek TV series have managed over their span of seasons. And Unification reminds us fans, and hopefully, the creators of these new TV…

Movie review – Robot Dreams
So… This was different, in a good way. How to describe this? It’s a little like Bojack Horseman meets Issac Asimov. Coincidentally, or not, Issac Asimov has a short story titled Robot Dreams, but the story in this animation is not remotely related beyond the dreaming part. The animation is based on a graphic novel…

TV Series Review – Shōgun
There is a lot to love about Shōgun. It has amazing sets Fantastic cinematography Brilliant acting Compelling story But to me, the thing that stands out the most about Shōgun is the character building. Bad writers create one-dimensional characters that are likeable or unlikable. Good writers create characters that are unlikable but become likable, or vice…

Avatar: The Last Airbender (animated) season three
Avatar: The Last Airbender originally aired on Nickelodeon. It’s animated, and the characters frequently behave/react childishly. Does that combination mean its a kid’s show? We can have a long discussion on what constitutes a kid’s show and what doesn’t and find many examples of shows that blur the lines. I can’t imagine any are more blurry…

RunPee X-Men Hub
Marvel is big…very big. Big enough that we’ve had to put together a variety of mini-hubs. Ant-Man, Black Panther, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Spider-Man have all got hubs of their own and now we add to that list…X-Men! In this case we are only looking at the films…maybe more will be added later.…
