My Review of "Man of Steel"
Man of Steel came out back in 2013. It was the start point of the whole Snyderverse series. I remember liking this movie when it first came out but I wanted to see it again today if it holds up. Thankfully it has and to a certain extent I saw more in this movie this time around than I did the last.

Review of 'A Mirror Mended'
A Mirror Mended is the next installment in USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's Fractured Fables series. Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty, is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once you’ve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once you’ve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues. Just when Zinnia’s beginning to think she can't handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because there’s more than one person trapped in a story they didn’t choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends, and she's desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her before it’s too late for everyone. Will Zinnia accept the Queen's poisonous request and save them both from the hot-iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?

My Review of "Anything's Possible"
Anything's Possible is a new Amazon Prime original film. There are lots of complexities to this movie that they try to tackle. Thankfully it's a fairly simple story so it's a pretty easy to follow. People of my generation might be startled at such a new age of youth. It's pretty interesting to see how they're portrayed in this movie.

Clone Wars Adventures Vol. 1 Review
Are you like me where you wish there was more Genndy Clone Wars and want to do something else with your time other than rewatch the Genndy series over and over again? Then do I have the spinoff for you. Introducing Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures. A series of spinoff comics telling more Clone Wars stories in the Genndy style that you know and love if you were an early 2000s kid. Released by Dark Horse Comics around the same time as the show, this anthology series was printed primarily in Archie Digest format, though I do have a single preview issue, that I'm not entirely sure where I got it from.

My Review of "Spectre"
Spectre is the follow up Bond film to Skyfall. It came out in 2015 and man that's a long time to keep all of the Bond stories in your head. Luckily I'm doing a Bond marathon so they're somewhat still fresh in my head. This movie basically brings all of the bond films together to an end. That is we thought it was the end back then, we didn't know there was going to be another one.

Hamilton: an all-round crowd pleaser and nothing more
I went to see Hamilton on the west end in London recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd seen the recording on Disney plus which got me into it, and I was very familiar with the brilliant and musically-diverse soundtrack. But it's something you have to see live to truly appreciate how amazing and groundbreaking it is, not to mention that the performance of Hamilton himself (Scottish newcomer Reuben Joseph) was brilliant, far better than the not-so-brilliant-but-we'll-allow-it-cos-he-wrote it performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda.
