I’ll admit—though it’s not exactly a secret—that I sometimes like doing negative reviews. I don’t typically seek out movies/shows because I think they’ll be bad, but I’m not unhappy when it happens.
Thank God for Secrets of Strixhaven. Standard needed a shakeup, and I needed an Izzet (fine, Prismari) deck to play that actually focuses on casting lots of spells and drawing lots of cards.
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is an odd movie. Full of so many very deliberate choices. I cannot confirm this, but I couldn’t help but feel the creators were going for a very specific homage, or were perhaps trying to replicate a distinct director’s style.
Not to use the most obvious joke ever twice, but Wicked: For Good is bad. Many of the things that made the first movie (possibly) my favorite film musical is still in this sequel, but there’s something deeply crucial missing.
Wicked (part one) is a lush, spectacular, wonderful experience of a movie. It captures the delightful energy of live theater and has so many incredible scenes. I’ve had several of its songs stuck in my head since I watched it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Astronaut tricks you into thinking it’s a good movie. It’s not. God, is it not. I haven’t had a movie disappoint me so deep into its runtime in forever. The opening scenes hook you in with a cool mystery and then plays with expectations in a way that suggests solid writing is yet to come…and then it all goes speeding downhill.
Ash is a good movie in hindsight. The plot is full of interesting ideas and has lots of fun clues to analyze after the fact (though bright lights/flashing warning). But the first parts of the movie—despite its best efforts—are fairly dull for anyone who has some experience with horror storytelling.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Has Big Interactions Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a weak set, all told. As I went through the cards (and yes, I read every main-set card) I was only really impressed by the synergies, not the individual pieces. And while synergies are great for Magic, they don’t work well for a…
I went into Crypt of the Moon Spider not knowing two important things about it. The first is that it’s not a monster story, not really. It’s a medical horror book tinged with cosmic horror elements.
Cleopatra in Space is baffling on every level. Someone with deep pockets or a large group of people clearly loves this idea/story/concept so much that they have thrown an inordinate number of resources at it.
I wonder if episodes of Starfleet Academy took Star Trek concepts and tried to find ways to make them fit into generic college/high school plots, or if the show started with those tropes and then figured out how to make them fit the world building.
Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. It’s got such an odd combination of factors that somehow come together to deliver an engaging drama and mystery revolving around a big, central question. But, unlike a lot of other dramas, there’s no hero. This is a show where almost everyone is a scam artist—though some of them don’t actually know they’re running a scam.
