  Doom Asylum 1987

  ★★½ Watched 02 Oct 2023 1

  A bewildering experience that probably would have been better enjoyed with a group.

  Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Dec 2021

  SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is a crowd-pleasing delight with actual stakes and an unexpected emotional maturity. It is darker than previous entries and manages to balance its nostalgic moments well. Every actor is great, whether they are new, old or somewhere in-between. Tom Holland and Zendaya do wonders further cementing their legacy as Peter and MJ, alongside J.K. Simmons' perfect portrayal of J. Jonah Jameson and the unhinged madness of Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn.

  I am very, very excited for what the future holds for Holland and Company.
