Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)
The weight of Avengers: Endgame is a heavy burden on the shoulders of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I seriously don’t envy director Jon Watts for having to follow arguably the largest film event of a generation. It’s not as though Spider-Man as a character can’t generate enough hype by himself – particularly after the surprise critical and commercial success of Into The Spider-Verse – but within the … Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home Review – A Better Teen Movie Than Superhero Flick (Rating: 7/10)

Booksmart Review – Wilde’s Shining Debut Is A Breezy Teen Delight (Rating: 9/10)
When looking online at lists of the best teen movies of all time, you’ll likely notice that the 1980s and early 1990s tend to dominate.

Always Be My Maybe Review – Hilarious, Down To Earth, And Everything Else That Makes A Rom-Com Shine (Rating: 8/10)
As far as Netflix comedy specials go, three figures dominate in my eyes: John Mulaney, with endearingly awkward takes on his own lameness; Hannah Gadsby, one of the most daring performers working today; and Ali Wong, the raunchy focus of today’s review. These three could hardly be more different as performers, but the successes brought on by their stand-up specials for the streaming site have … Continue reading Always Be My Maybe Review – Hilarious, Down To Earth, And Everything Else That Makes A Rom-Com Shine (Rating: 8/10)
