  In the Lost Lands 2025

  ★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025 1

  The most Zack Snyder-y non-Zack Snyder film ever made…

  This was a highly poorly-made film in more ways than not, and one where I just felt nothing while watching. I will say that visually, it’s pretty good mostly. It definitely does feel Snyder-esque in the stylised look, however the direction just doesn’t compare to him, even with Zack being a controversial director.

  ★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

It’s nice to have some of those plot threads finally rounded out after so many years, as well as Eternals finally being addressed. It’s nice having Sam Wilson’s…

  Piece By Piece 2024

  ★★★ Watched 14 Nov 2024 1

  A fun and creative telling of Pharrell’s story. Using LEGO to recreate some of these events throughout his life and career was an interesting choice, and it paid off in the end. The animation is good, just not on the standard set by The LEGO Movie and the other Warner Bros. LEGO movies. The bricky style makes for some interesting visual storytelling when displaying some of the more dramatic moments, that I thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the celebrity appearances were…
