WandaVision (Pilot Review) | Edging Their Sweaty Fans with Easter Eggs and a Mystery
WandaVision posters were brilliant and did give us an idea of what they were going for, a weird, trippy but sophisticated show. However, what they didn't tell us was how far they'd go with it. I kind of love that the sitcoms weren't just a gimmick. They commit to it with a lot of the … Continue reading WandaVision (Pilot Review) | Edging Their Sweaty Fans with Easter Eggs and a Mystery
Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo
Lupin wasn't in my radar until that first trailer came out. I thought it was interesting that they cast Omar Sy (X-men Days of Future Past) in the role of Arsène Lupin but I didn't think I would make it past the first episode. When doing so I found out that Louis Leterrier (Incredible hulk) … Continue reading Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo

El Cid (S1 Review) | Greed and Its Consequences in Medieval Time
I enjoy epic historical tales in books and movies whether they are fictional or not. So this new Amazon Prime Video series certainly caught my attention. It has the added bonus of being a Spanish language TV series, which will allow me to maintain a decent level of Spanish while being entertained, and Jaime Lorente, … Continue reading El Cid (S1 Review) | Greed and Its Consequences in Medieval Time

Wandavision | Poster Analysis
I love this! This WandaVision poster is brilliant. Given what we know of the series, meaning that it's inspired by different sitcoms throughout the ages, the static wave like ripples on the image screams TV. In fact the whole thing looks like a picture of a temperamental television screen. The demarcation between the black and … Continue reading Wandavision | Poster Analysis

Mulan (Movie Review) | It’s a Bit Light
The Disney animated Mulan is not a movie I grew up on. I've seen it and remember liking it but I couldn't sing a song from that movie to save my life. I didn't feel the need to, nor did I want to see the animated movie before watching this one. So I am not … Continue reading Mulan (Movie Review) | It’s a Bit Light
