My Review of "I Want You Back"
I Want You Back is Amazon Prime's latest romantic comedy for 2022. Again we come to expect certain things with this genre of movie and I think this movie knows that. They're able to play around with those expectations at times and for the most part they do it pretty well.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review. Top Story - April 2022.
Harry Potter is an iconic property, but for the last decade it’s been coasting along with diminishing returns. The franchise took a major downturn in 2018 with The Crimes of Grindelwald, but production has continued at pace. One recast and several delays later, The Secrets of Dumbledore makes an improvement, but not by much.

The Batman: meh
So I was actually excited about this movie. We didn't have a stand alone Batman movie in 10 years. When they announced Robert Pattinson would play Batman, I was skeptical. I hated the Twilight Saga and most of his other roles had never really sparked anything for me. He has always been a very blah personality in my eyes. This role, however, fit him quite well. He played the low tone, mysterious loner as perfect as I could've hoped it would have been played.

My Review of "Metal Lords"
Metal Lords is the latest coming of age film to come out in 2022. I was looking forward to seeing this one as I loved School of Rock. This is not School of Rock but that's not a bad thing either. They're able to find their own voice and I love them for this.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Does it Live up 2 the Hype? (Minor spoilers). Top Story - April 2022.
With the success of Paramount's 2020 film Sonic the Hedgehog, based on the hit video game series of the same name, high expectations were placed on the sequel, which introduces the fan favorite sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by veteran voice actress Colleen O'Shaugnessy), and the tough as leather rival, Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). The first film may have gotten a bit of a rocky start with initial reactions to the first design being so great that Paramount had to go back and change it, but this film had no such uphill battle. All eyes were set upon how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could build upon the story established in its predecessor. Not only did it meet the expectations given to it, but in some cases, the movie exceeded them.

My Review of "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of my most hotly anticipated movies of 2022. Today I got to watch it and for the most part I was not disappointed. It's a very high concept movie that is somehow made into a coherent digestible understanding. I don't know how they did it but the feat is miraculous.

Last Night in Darkness. Top Story - April 2022.
You ascend the Raleigh Grande steps; tickets up on the phone, a close confidant on your arm. Said confidant had seen your worst shades of bitter tears, exploits and anger emerged from insecurities long sunken by the repression of awareness. The kind of pain that may have been concocted years in the making, but still unjustified for the mere microseconds at hand, particularly the ones out here in the present, at this movie theater with your confidant.

Doctor Who: Year of the Pig Review
"Year of the Pig" is, without doubt, one of the strangest Doctor Who stories ever produced. Oh, there are many wacky and wild adventures for the Doctor and their friends in the canon, but very few are as strange as "Year of the Pig". I mean, a talking pig in a dinner suit would be strange enough, but that's only the beginning. Strange characters, stranger motivations, a train chase across Belgium and Austria, and a scene where it literally rains steak down on our heroes only add to the sensation that this is something very unusual. And, while perhaps not quite the barnstorming masterpiece it could have been, it remains one of the most unusual Big Finish audios ever produced, and a testament to how far the team are willing to push the Doctor Who format in order to tell interesting and varied stories.

My Review of "Moonshot"
Moonshot is the latest HBO Max movie that came out in 2022. For all intents and purposes this is quite a generic romantic comedy. They didn't even need the space aspect of the movie to complete this film. The space aspect was a nice little twist to spice things up.
