★★★★ Animation as a medium is often undersung and underestimated—all the more reason to seek out nearly every animated film that I come across. In recent years, some of my favorite animated features have emerged from the film festival circuit. Last year alone, 2D-animated marvel Titina, bizarre ultra-gory Unicorn Wars, stop motion horror fantasy Wendell … Continue reading Berlinale 2023: Deep Sea
TV Review: Wolf Pack
In a surprising turn of events that must be confusing to a number of people, Teen Wolf creator/showrunner Jeff Davis has set his sights on another werewolf show set in a brand-new universe! Aptly titled Wolf Pack, this Paramount+ series carries the star power of Buffy icon Sarah Michelle Gellar, and a cast of young … Continue reading TV Review: Wolf Pack
Film Review: Teen Wolf: The Movie
★★★★ Back in 2011, MTV’s Teen Wolf came roaring into a very different kind of television landscape ready for a major shakeup. Heavily inspired by the format and style of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jeff Davis’s Teen Wolf become one of my favorite shows during the course of an impressive 100-episode run.

Film Review: Avatar: The Way of Water
★★★★★ I will never forget the first time I went to see the original Avatar in 2009. Working at AMC theaters at the time, I was of course privy to free tickets; I made a family event out of it, sure to travel to Pandora a total of four times while it was playing in … Continue reading Film Review: Avatar: The Way of Water
Film Review: Matilda the Musical
(Written by Allison Brown) ★★★ When I first heard rumors that Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical was going to be made into a movie, I was overjoyed! I never had a chance to catch the show on Broadway, and the original film was a notable part of my childhood. I think I built the stage … Continue reading Film Review: Matilda the Musical
Film Review: Darby and the Dead
★★★★ For fans of shows like Julie and the Phantoms, Disney/Hulu’s ghostly gem, Darby and the Dead, comes for the jugular! It seems very on-trend right now to emulate the excellent dark comedies of the late 90s and early 2000s like Jawbreaker, Mean Girls, and The Craft, and screenwriters Becca Greene and Wenonah Wilms channel … Continue reading Film Review: Darby and the Dead
TV Review: Wednesday
After a laborious wait and questionable release date timing post-Halloween, Tim Burton’s vision of Wednesday has finally arrived in all its creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky glory. Has there been more note-perfect recent casting than Jenna Ortega (Babysitter: Killer Queen, Scream, X) as Wednesday Addams? Previously played in live action by Lisa Loring in 1964’s … Continue reading TV Review: Wednesday
