Doctor Who: Circular Time Review. Top Story - April 2022.
In 2007, Big Finish launched a new recurring format for the Monthly Adventures. Every year, there would be a release that, instead of featuring one 4-part story, would feature four 1-part stories, often centred around a theme or central idea, and these releases ended up becoming some of the best examples in the Monthly Adventures of creativity and using the short-form format to tell Doctor Who stories out of the norm. The first of these was "Circular Time": four stories centred around the seasons and the relationship between the Doctor and Nyssa. It remains to this day one of the most well-regarded anthology collections, and one of my personal favourites, due to doing some very unexpected things with the Doctor Who format.

Free Guy: I Wasn't Expecting To Get Punched In The Heart
Free Guy is exactly what I need in a movie these days: funny, light, and warm. A combination of age and crumbling society has resulted in tender, finnicky nerves that make finding a show or movie to watch an ordeal. I can't deal with dark or gritty movies, I find romance/romcoms more than tired, and even horror movies- my favorite genre- can sometimes fail to grasp my attention.

Moonknight. Top Story - April 2022.
After being very pleasantly surprised by the first episode of Moonknight I was very much looking forward to how they were going to open this story up further. I think that so far they are doing a great job of balancing all of their story elements, here are my in-depth, as I watched thoughts on the second episode of Moonknight.

My Review of "I Want You Back"
I Want You Back is Amazon Prime's latest romantic comedy for 2022. Again we come to expect certain things with this genre of movie and I think this movie knows that. They're able to play around with those expectations at times and for the most part they do it pretty well.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review. Top Story - April 2022.
Harry Potter is an iconic property, but for the last decade it’s been coasting along with diminishing returns. The franchise took a major downturn in 2018 with The Crimes of Grindelwald, but production has continued at pace. One recast and several delays later, The Secrets of Dumbledore makes an improvement, but not by much.

The Batman: meh
So I was actually excited about this movie. We didn't have a stand alone Batman movie in 10 years. When they announced Robert Pattinson would play Batman, I was skeptical. I hated the Twilight Saga and most of his other roles had never really sparked anything for me. He has always been a very blah personality in my eyes. This role, however, fit him quite well. He played the low tone, mysterious loner as perfect as I could've hoped it would have been played.

My Review of "Metal Lords"
Metal Lords is the latest coming of age film to come out in 2022. I was looking forward to seeing this one as I loved School of Rock. This is not School of Rock but that's not a bad thing either. They're able to find their own voice and I love them for this.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Does it Live up 2 the Hype? (Minor spoilers). Top Story - April 2022.
With the success of Paramount's 2020 film Sonic the Hedgehog, based on the hit video game series of the same name, high expectations were placed on the sequel, which introduces the fan favorite sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by veteran voice actress Colleen O'Shaugnessy), and the tough as leather rival, Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). The first film may have gotten a bit of a rocky start with initial reactions to the first design being so great that Paramount had to go back and change it, but this film had no such uphill battle. All eyes were set upon how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could build upon the story established in its predecessor. Not only did it meet the expectations given to it, but in some cases, the movie exceeded them.

My Review of "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of my most hotly anticipated movies of 2022. Today I got to watch it and for the most part I was not disappointed. It's a very high concept movie that is somehow made into a coherent digestible understanding. I don't know how they did it but the feat is miraculous.
