    Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

    ★★★★

    So, it finally took Wallace and Gromit to accurately comment on how our dependence on technology and artificial intelligence has drastically affected how we express companionship to our loved ones without it coming off as melodramatic, and instead use that to accentuate its wholesome political thriller vibes.

    ★★★½

    One had no idea whether the delays for James Cameron's subsequent Avatar follow-ups had a beginning and an end. However, here we are now with the release of Avatar: The Way of Water. Cameron and co. have created a visually-rich theatrical experience based entirely in the threads of togetherness and our responsibility towards Mother Nature, with hints of spirituality which I haven't seen in a big-budget Hollywood picture since Life of Pi. It improves upon the original in terms of…
