Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Review

I’ve seen Sonic and Sonic 2 a couple of times now, and I’m very comfortable with where they sit. Solidly entertaining family films containing mainly lore-accurate versions of characters I’ve grown up with. Realistically I […]

Red One Review

Definitely one of the films of 2024, Red One might be a box-office bomb, but it isn’t the complete trainwreck of a movie you might think. It suffers from several issues that make it extremely […]
