  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  A beautiful production that brings the musical to life in a meaningful way (but the production of the vocals pulls away at some of the charm). If it hadn’t stuck the landing so well it probably would’ve been 3 stars

  Sonic the Hedgehog 3 2024

  ★★½ Watched 21 Dec 2024

  Goes without saying this is catered very much to kids (more than the first two) but it keeps the fan service going enough to keep it interesting. A really satisfying third act combined with just letting Jim Carrey cook really carry this. Ben Schwartz has to deliver a surprisingly layered performance and while Shadow/Keanu are a little flat they do enough (and thankfully they gave him a gun). Extra credit for including Crush 40.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2024

  A thought provoking examination of faith, control and certainty wrapped in an incredible production of tea spilling and general messiness. It’s hard not to have a lot of takeaways throughout and at the end. The climatic moments as you call them are maybe a bit too subtle, but don’t discount what is a very well created world with a valuable message
