The first Wonder Woman film was an absolute breath of fresh air when it released in 2017; a DCEU (that’s DC, as in DC Comics, Extended Universe to those unfamiliar […]
As a video game-obsessed kid growing up in the early 80s, Tron was a film that seemed tailor made just for me. I was only 5 in 1982, but I […]

I was 21 when the original, animated Mulan movie was released; far too cool for those Disney cartoons. They’re for kids, right? It’d take until the release of Tarzan in […]
Well, this feels like quite a milestone. Since starting the blog in 2019, I’ve been able to maintain a daily schedule of posting at least one article a day – […]
