Belated film reviews: Fun Size
About a week ago, picked straight out of one of my aforementioned film lists, I chose to watch Fun Size. The main reason why I elected it was how short it is (only an hour and twenty-six minutes long), but, considering what I saw with my own two eyes, it was an hour and twenty-six minutes too much.

‘Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard’ Review — A Lackluster Action Comedy

My Review of "Lupin: Part II"
Lupin: Part II is the second half of the season one. With so many TV shows under its belt, Netflix has to make some tough decisions when green lighting shows. Some shows don't get to continue and end off with cliffhangers. Lupin is a little different from the rest. It had us all hooked from the very beginning. It was inevitable that the second part was going to come out but who knew it would come out so soon.

Fruits Basket Anime Review
"Fruits Basket, sometimes abbreviated Furuba or Fruba, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya" (Wiki) and then turned anime series. I have only read volume one of the manga but the anime I just finished. There was an original series but it ended with the first season. Fans seemed to think that the first series wasn't doing the manga justice when it came to representing the material. That series (from 2001) is the reason I discovered Fruits Basket. Now there is a new series that started in 2019 and just finished in 2021.

Watching 'The Crown' to Prepare for the Megan Markle Season
So the Queen’s cousin, Prince Philip died recently, and there was all that drama about Megan Markle a little while ago, which got me thinking; It feels like we’re in the final season of Netflix’s The Crown right now. And that made me curious to catch up on the series. I was also really curious to see season 4, because I knew from the trailers that’s when they introduced both Margret Thatcher, and Princess Diana, both important historical figures that I know of, but don’t know a whole lot about. So I thought I’d give the show a try and watch the first couple episodes and see what I thought. Turns out, I liked it. So I watched the whole thing.

Doctor Who: The War Doctor - Only the Monstrous Review
Back when Big Finish first gained the rights to Doctor Who content post-2005, one of the most headline grabbing projects was The War Doctor series. After "Day of the Doctor", I think most Doctor Who fans would never have expected the late John Hurt to return to the role even on TV, never mind in the spin-off audio dramas created by Big Finish Productions. However, we got just that, and Big Finish produced four box-sets for the character, before Hurt sadly passed away from cancer in early 2017. The first of these, "Only the Monstrous" set the stall for everything that was to come, with a gripping portrayal of a universe at war, high stakes, compelling characters, and some of the finest sound design and post-production work Big Finish has ever committed to shiny CD.

My Review of "Kajilionaire"
Kajilionaire was a movie that came out in 2020. It came out so quietly that not a lot of people heard about it. I remember seeing a trailer for this movie a while back but never got a chance to watch it until now. I liked the premise of the movie and was startled at how much substance this movie had in the end.
