My Review of "Godzilla vs Kong"
Godzilla vs. Kong finally came out in 2021. It was a highly anticipated movie as they were culminating a monster series for quite a while. The movie started off with Godzilla in 2014. They then followed that movie up with 2017's Kong: Skull Island and then Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019. The way they were setting it up was sort of like an Justice League sort of way. There would be little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout these movies.

Review of 'Sword of Destiny'
Geralt the Witcher battles monsters, demons and prejudices alike in Sword of Destiny, the second collection of adventures in the New York Times bestselling series that inspired the Netflix show and the hit video games. Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. The Sword of Destiny is the follow up to The Last Wish, and together they are the perfect introduction to a one of a kind fantasy world.

Jigsaw
Some people make mistakes. Some cost lives. How would you punish them? Are you willing to speak for the dead? Every day, we or those we love are victims of a crime and we call for "revenge"-- against the criminal, against the police who never solve the crime, against politicians that promise to help but never do. But few of them understand the cold, destructive, and ultimately hollow thrill of revenge as well as Jigsaw.

My Review of "Nobody"
Nobody came out early in 2021. There was a little bit of buzz about this movie because it was said to be similar to the John Wick series. I particularly like the John Wick series but I don't know why I didn't check it out when it first came out. Now later on in the year I realize what everyone was talking about.

My Review of "Free Guy"
Free Guy is a movie that I was waiting to see back in 2020 but I guess the pandemic had other plans. Now that we're finally sort of opening up the theatres are as well. I finally got the chance to see this highly anticipated movie. It was kind of worth the wait.

My Review of "The Bad Batch: Season 1"
The Bad Batch: Season 1 has just wrapped up its first season exclusively on Disney Plus. It's the first time I've ventured into the animated world of Star Wars TV shows. That is if you don't count the 80's Ewok series. I was too young to even understand the Ewok series anyways. It was just a bunch of teddy bears running around. This series made me curious about other Star Wars animated TV shows now.

Sherlock Holmes: The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes Review
After the success of the Jonathan Barnes-penned "The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner" in 2012, Big Finish gave Barnes the keys to the kingdom of Sherlock Holmes. The first of Barnes' contributions since was "The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes", a four-hour box-set with stories set throughout the Holmes cannon. And, I'll put my cards on the table right now - these might be my favourite Sherlock Holmes stories in any medium, be it film, TV, prose or audio. They have the true heart and soul of the original Conan Doyle stories, but feel fresh and new and exciting, and together they make for something very, very special.

The Suicide Squad (2021) Review by someone who hates comic book movies
It's no secret to anyone that I harbour a hatred towards comic book films. The MCU is my version of Hell and the DCEU is just Marvel after dark. However, if you had a gun to my head and asked me to decide which one I preferred, I would have to say DC as it at least tries to break the mould of saccharine superhero simplicity, but that doesn't really mean much as my expectations for both companies are non-existent when it comes to judging the quality of their films (Although, I will say that Into the Spider-Verse was my favourite film of 2018). That said, while I find watching superhero films an exercise in torture, I fully understand why people enjoy them; they're pure escapist nonsense and that's fine. I'm just not one of those people but I wish I was.
