JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! After that tense two-parter, we handily clean up our unresolved plot threads by seeing Buffy, Xander, and Willow casually alert the audience that the Court Of Terrakion contract has been cancelled for… reasons. They are also making super hip and timely 1997 references to Captain & Tenille… though that MIGHT have been the joke, and I’m not prepared for … Continue reading JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?!

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

I went into “Marvel the Shell With Shoes On” expecting basically just a long form of his numerous YouTube videos. What I found was a deeply moving, often funny, sometimes tearjerkingly sad, masterpiece of a story.

Suzume Review

Is it possible to be both a one-trick pony and yet also incredibly versatile with your trick? That’s the question I am left with as I have just watched Makoto Shinkai’s newest offering, Suzume. Of his previous works, I’ve seen his two most famous: 2016’s Your Name., and 2019’s Weathering With You.

Jab’s Reviews: The Emperor’s New Groove

THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (2000):Written by: David Reynolds, Chris Reynolds & Mark Dindal This one had a fabulously-awful production process, with a Prince and the Pauper-themed story being written by one guy, and a comedy film being written by another. When the first, also the director of The Lion King, quit over being forced to shorten his timeline, things looked to be a disaster. Instead, they completely re-did … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Emperor’s New Groove

Movies Directed By Women

The Oscars recently happened, and once again, there were no Women nominated in the Best Director category, reversing a trend of… well, just two years. But in 2021 and 2022, there were women nominees! But none this year. But in the face of that and March being Women’s History Month, I thought I’d take a look back at cinematic history and give credit to some … Continue reading Movies Directed By Women
