My 2 Cents on The Mandalorian—Season 2

(WARNING: Slight spoilers up ahead. I call them “slight” because they give away a couple character reveals that you’ve probably seen inundating social media for the past two months. Definitely nothing related to the finale, though—that will be saved for the spoilery space.) What’s new, readers? Let’s start in on the The Mandalorian, the Star Warsseries that … Continue reading My 2 Cents on The Mandalorian—Season 2 →

My 2 Cents on Hamilton

What’s new, readers? Amazon recently pulled Washington Redskins merchandise from its website, following in the steps of Nike, Target, and Walmart. At the same time, FedEx, Bank of America, and PepsiCo are all leaning on the NFL to change the name. Oh, so now we’re realizing how awful it is to use a racial slur … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Hamilton →

My 2 Cents on Disney’s Artemis Fowl

What’s new, readers? I just want to give a huge shout-out to the Gen Z users of TikTok and the K-pop fans who bought up all those seats at Trump's Tulsa rally yesterday. This is fantastic—the young people banding together to make their political voices heard, bring about change, and stand against racism. And it's … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Disney’s Artemis Fowl →

My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Onward

What’s new, readers? I hope you’re heeding social distancing rules, finding ways to keep yourself from going stir-crazy during COVID-19, and praying our egomaniacal and “total authority”-obsessed president doesn’t tear the United States apart. Personally, I’m occupying myself with writing, reading, watching the musical parodies of Chris Mann, and being repeatedly amused by the public’s … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Onward →

My 2 Cents on Frozen 2

It seems as if it wasn’t too long ago when everyone was belting about how much they needed to “let it go.” But it’s actually been six years since Walt Disney Animation Studios released Frozen in 2013, at which point the movie turned into a smash hit of unprecedented proportions. As it should have, considering … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Frozen 2 →

My 2 Cents on Spider-Man: Far From Home

(SPOILER ALERT: Do not read this review if you haven't watched Avengers: Endgame yet, because the ending connects directly to this movie. However, if you waited this long to see Endgame, the Internet probably spoiled it for you already.) Allow me to digress for a moment and say this—For everyone who religiously followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe for … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Spider-Man: Far From Home →

My 2 Cents on Toy Story 4

Nine years. That's how long it's been since Pixar Animation Studios made everyone break down in tears by releasing 2010's Toy Story 3, a touching conclusion to the trilogy and the gang of toys whom we've grown to love. So it should be understandable that I never asked for a sequel and hadn't been completely … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Toy Story 4 →

My 2 Cents on Avengers: Endgame (SPOILER-FREE)

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW (although you really should just go see the movie) Unless you've been living in a cave for the past year, you know that Thanos (Josh Brolin, No Country for Old Men, Sicario), the primary antagonist of Marvel Studios's Avengers: Infinity War, collected six Infinity Stones, added them to his Gauntlet, and used a snap … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Avengers: Endgame (SPOILER-FREE) →

My 2 Cents on Ralph Breaks the Internet

Amid all the flashy spoofing of the Internet, Ralph Breaks the Internet grounds its storyline with remarkably profound themes about friendship. (SPOILER-FREE REVIEW) Directed by Rich Moore (Zootopia, Wreck-It Ralph) and Phil Johnston (screenwriter of said movies), Ralph Breaks the Internet, the 2018 offering from Walt Disney Animation Studios and the sequel to 2012's Wreck-It … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Ralph Breaks the Internet →
