The Old Guard 2 (Movie Review) | Lore, Action, and a Cliffhanger That Might Never Pay Off

2 July 20253 August 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

The Old Guard 2 opens with a bang and dives deep into immortal lore, but between retcons, sidelined characters, and a bold cliffhanger, this sequel might leave you more curious than satisfied. If you’re wondering whether it was worth the wait, read on.

Ironheart (Premiere Review) | Tech, Trauma, and AI?

Image ~ 25 June 202528 June 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

Marvel’s Ironheart kicks off with three episodes that mix grounded storytelling, surprising emotional depth, and some questionable plot logic. It’s not perfect, but Riri Williams is compelling enough to keep watching, and her AI is…different. Dive into my full thoughts on this tech-meets-trauma premiere.

All Systems Red – The Murderbot Diaries 1 – by Martha Wells | Book Review

Image ~ 19 June 202518 June 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

What happens when a security android hacks its governor module and just wants to binge-watch media instead of guard humans? All Systems Red is sharp, funny, and surprisingly emotional. Murderbot is the most relatable socially awkward introvert I've ever met in space or on Earth.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025 Live-action Movie Review) | Does the Magic Still Fly?

11 June 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

The live-action How to Train Your Dragon walks a familiar path, but once you stop comparing and let yourself feel, it takes flight. The emotion still lands, the visuals are stunning, and Toothless? Absolutely still perfect.

The Wheel of Time (Season 3 Review) | The Pattern Weaves as the Show Rises

Image ~ 21 April 202521 April 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

Season 3 of The Wheel of Time isn’t just an improvement—it’s a revelation. With the Forsaken unleashed and the heroes pushed to their limits, the show delivers its most gripping, emotionally charged episodes yet. From Rand’s haunting visions in Rhuidean to Egwene’s hard-won resilience, this is the season where everything clicks.

The Wheel of Time (Mid-Season 3 Review) | Hitting Its Stride

Image ~ 20 March 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

Halfway through Season 3, The Wheel of Time is firing on all cylinders, bigger stakes, richer world-building, and some of the best performances yet. The pacing is tight, the action is breathtaking, and Rand’s journey is a standout. But with Perrin’s adaptation feeling risky, can the show keep up its momentum? Read my review to find out!

Snow White (2025) (Movie Review) | A Fairytale Retelling That’s… Fine?

19 March 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

Disney’s live-action Snow White sticks closer to the original fairytale than you might think, but does that make it good? With a stunning (yet inconsistent) Gal Gadot, a strong fairytale aesthetic, and a few odd choices along the way, this remake is a mixed bag of magic. Read the full review here.

Invincible (Season 3 Review) | Brutal, Thought-Provoking, and Absolutely Unmissable

Image ~ 16 March 202515 March 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

If you thought Invincible couldn’t get any more intense, Season 3 just proved you wrong. Higher stakes, deeper moral dilemmas, and action sequences so brutal they’ll be burned into your brain. Mark is evolving, but so are his enemies. And that finale? Absolutely unhinged.

Solo Leveling Volume 4 (Novel) by Chugong | Book Review

Image ~ 10 March 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

Solo Leveling Volume 4 delivers an action-packed, pulse-pounding ride as Jin-Woo’s power evolves like never before. With unexpected twists, relentless pacing, and jaw-dropping battles, this volume cements itself as a must-read.
