Here's my review of Deadpool & Wolverine's digital release!
In Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman bring humor and heart to a wild multiverse adventure. This film not only meets but often exceeds the high expectations set by its predecessors. Whether you’re a fan of Deadpool, Wolverine, or just looking for a standout superhero film, this one is worth a watch.
Season 4 of The Boys features strong performances and compelling editing but struggles with pacing.

As we approach the end of the series, the fate of the East High Leopards hangs in the balance. With only eight episodes left, viewers are eager to see if they will receive a proper farewell.
However, based on the mixed results of the previous six episodes, it's difficult to say whether the send-off will meet expectations.
Konpa is a relatively simple short full of vibes and romance.
In Passing has some great directing and acting but requires a lot of caveats for me to recommend watching.
Then Comes the Body is a wonderful example of what you get when a documentarian truly understands the subject and its beauty.
Sean McCarron's directorial debut, Corvine, is playful and strongly animated, but the score mixing & tone torpedo its chances.
The Future by Noam Kaplan has strong acting but falls short in conveying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Vishavjit Singh and Ryan Westra’s animated short is a promising animated short that’s full of stupendous animation from Studio Showoff paired with a touching narrative that I’d love to see as a film.
Bill Oliver and Peter Nickowitz’s second collaboration yields much more interesting benefits than their previous effort with an emotional film about a same-sex marriage and custody battle that you should not miss.
Matt Campanella's latest short is everything you'd want from a short called Daddy Issues.
