I've been in a bit of a rough patch recently, so as a bit of comfort and to wrap up the year I decided to put on an all time favorite of mine, Toy Story 2. I couldn't count how many times I've seen this one, and to me it's always been my favorite of the franchise. For me, it is the perfect definition on the perfect sequel.
What I (and others) personally think makes a good sequel, includes expanding…
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a movie that I've personally been awaiting a very long time. I've loved the first two installments, and I've fallen in love with these characters quite a bit in those films. As we've seen them in other MCU films like Infinity War, Endgame, Love and Thunder, and most recently their own Holiday Special, that's only grown. I've also really fallen in love with James Gunn as a filmmaker, going back to watch his…
Well, I certainly expected worse, but I don't know if I'd call it great either. My skepticism around this movie has started pretty much from the get go, as remaking not only the first Disney Animated movie, but the first animated movie period is kinda sacrilege, but when we've already gotten Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc it's hard to get mad at these live action remakes in concept anymore.

Going from the highs of the last two Oscars being my favorite movie of that year sweeping and winning Best Picture (EEAAO & Oppenheimer) to my favorite getting less nominations…
Watching this after watching both shows makes this so confusing. The adventures of kids in a hotel and then teenagers on a boat equals weird sci-fi cult plot??? Both shows even without the nostalgia still hold up pretty well. This? I'm not even sure what this is
Dune: Part Two is many things. For one, it’s a sequel (if you consider it one, its rather part two of one story) that improves upon nearly every single aspect of the first film, and furthers them - and the first was great! It’s also a master-class of adaptation, taking liberties when needed, but staying true to the story, characters, and messages of the novel. It’s also a master class of directing, acting, cinematography, score, visual effects, action. It’s also…
