  Snow White 2025

  ★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  After all the drama and controversy, Disney's Snow White has finally arrived and it is... fine. It's not the worst Disney remake by far, but it also isn't the best. I almost wish it could be considered one or the other, just to make it a little more interesting.

  Turtles All the Way Down 2024

  ★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2024

  Pretty solid! Isabela Merced is really excellent in this, perfectly portraying the character Aza in all of her ups and downs. Some of the relationships aren't developed incredibly well, and one subplot might be too outlandish for some viewers, but its depiction of OCD is definitely effective.
