My Review of "Loki: Season 2"
Loki: Season 2 was released in 2023 and everyone is raving over it. I admit that I liked the first season, however I'm not totally a fan of this season. Granted if you really loved season one you will love this second season. It goes deeper into the multiverse storyline that the first season started up. I'm unfortunately not clever enough to keep up with all the craziness from one episode to the next.

My Review of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
Rise of the Planet of the Apes came out back in 2011. It was a bit of a shocker when this movie first came out. No one thought that the franchise had legs to keep going. The Tim Burton remake of the movie in 2001 that bombed pretty bad in the box office. I never saw the original movies. I didn't know what to make of this reboot.

My Review of "They Cloned Tyrone"
They Cloned Tyrone is a Netflix exclusive movie that came out in 2023. It's a pretty slick film that has a lot of style and personality. Though a lot of its plot actually remind me of a 2002 comedy called Undercover Brother. I only recognize this because I loved Undercover Brother. This is done in a more serious tone but the themes are there.

My Review of "65"
65 quietly came out in theatres in 2023. I don't think too many people knew about it because there wasn't a lot of publicity for it. I knew of it but didn't bother to watch it until I got the 4k Blu-ray copy of it. I figured why not enjoy it at the comfort of my own home. Besides I wanted to test out my system.

Napoleon Movie Review
Over a long and storied career, director Ridley Scott has been a regular presence in the historical genre. Between great attention to detail and engaging narratives, his films have achieved widespread acclaim. For his latest large-scale release, Scott takes on Napoleon Bonaparte, perhaps the most decorated and successful military master in human history. This monumental figure has been covered several times in film but rarely in a full chronicle. The 2023 release is capable enough, but it does stumble in the adaptation process.

My Review of "Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - PS5"
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - PS5 has been out for probably a month now and I finally finished it. Yes, I know, how could it take you this long to finish it? Well, I'll get to that. What's most important is that it was a great experience and for all the reasons that you think. If you've played the previous games you'll know exactly what I mean by that.

Wish
Well Disney’s latest movie, Wish, has been released and I have thoughts. Now if you’ve read any of my other Disney related content then you already know that I judge the quality of a Disney movie almost entirely based on the music. We will get to that. Overall I think Disney had the perfect story, cast and emotion to celebrate 100 years of hope, dreams and magic. I think they took that perfection and drowned it in a sea of AI generated music.

'Doctor Who': "Audacity" Review
If there’s a Doctor that’s benefited from the myriad of spin-off media that’s grown up around Doctor Who, it’s Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor. Comics, novels, and especially the Big Finish audio dramas have given the one time self-described “George Lazenby of Doctor Who” a chance to be far more than a once and done incarnation. Something that has seen McGann grow and find new facets to his performances over the last two decades. Which makes it fitting that the eighth Doctor has returned to his Big Finish roots a bit for his latest set of adventures, Audacity.
