Review – “What If…?” Season 2
Fans of Marvel comics have loved the “What If…?” tales that explored alternate possibilities for their characters. I am definitely one of those fans, and I was delighted when Marvel Studios announced they would release an animated television show based on the same concept for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Wonka Movie Review
More than fifty years after Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory delighted audiences, Roald Dahl’s classic stories have been picked up again for the silver screen. Warner Bros is hoping that a prequel with some ties to the original will win over viewers new and old. Unlike other tired franchise entries, Wonka is successful in its goals.

65
Ya know how sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and you think to yourself, “wow this is going to be terrible, I can’t wait to see it”? Well that was my exact thought process when I saw the trailer for 65 starring Adam Driver. We never got around to seeing it in the theaters but now that it's on Netflix we are finally diving in. Doing any dinosaur movie after the existence of Jurassic Park is super bold but here we go, my review of 65.

Maestro
So the only thing I have heard about the movie Maestro was controversy over the film's decision to put Bradley Cooper in a prosthetic nose. This was a wildly racist decision on behalf of the production, especially considering the fact that Copper’s actual nose looks very similar to Bernstiens on its own and did not need cosmetic enhancement. The whole Jews have big noses thing was not at all necessary to include in the film and there are about 1000 ways to make it clear Berstien was a jewish man without the nose. That said, I never got around to seeing the movie…until now. Biopics of prominent figures have always felt a little Oscar-baity so I really don’t have a strong desire to watch this film whatsoever. But I promised that I would watch and review as many films released in 2023 as possible, especially the Oscar contenders so here we are. The formal review of Maestro, now on Netflix.

Ranking Rom Coms
It seems that the genre of romantic comedies have made a comeback. For the first time since the late 90s romantic comedies were released in a wave this year. 6 romantic comedies is a lot for a single year and yet here we are. Some were fantastic and some were really really not. But that said we’ve ranked superhero movies and animated movies so I thought that we should rank the romantic comedies of the year. We are going to take this list from worst to best.

My Review of "Gremlins 2: The New Batch"
Gremlins 2: The New Batch is a really weird sequel that came out back in 1990. It's been a while since the first movie so a lot has changed. The way they make movies with special effects, tone and social dynamics have all changed. Like the previous movie this movie is a product of its time but it is very well aware of itself. Fans of the first movie may feel totally out of place with this one because the tone has changed entirely.
