Review in Brief: Jungle Cruise (2021)

Posted on November 14, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

There’s a ridiculous moment in Disney’s JUNGLE CRUISE where the Rock is using a wrestling move to pin a jaguar between a scrapping scorpion and a tarantula – that’s probably the highlight. Muddy action, inane comic exchanges and bad slapstick … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

Posted on July 1, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

RAYA might lose some points for its narrative being a very familiar shape with key story beats you could sleepwalk between, but it makes up for it by getting the casting right and being one of the most beautiful looking … Continue reading →

Review: The Clone Wars: Season 7 (2020)
