Are You Happy?
After No Way Home and Loki, Marvel delves further into the multiverse with the latest Doctor Strange instalment which lives up to its titular madness.
Sam Raimi takes the directorial reins and it was exhilarating to see him bring his visual flair to the screen infusing his horror roots and dynamic camera work into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although I was surprised by how dark they managed to take this narrative, there were a few moments where…
Laundry and Taxes
Expectations for films can make or break an experience.
Sometimes your expectations are so high that simply being average can tarnish the whole experience. Sometimes a film with no expectations can take you by surprise and blow you away.

You're Struggling to Have Everything You Want.
Time will tell whether I am running high off adrenaline but regardless No Way Home is an ambitious, exhilarating and guaranteed audience pleaser that takes bold risks that pay off in a huge way.
Tom Holland gives his most emotion-filled performance to date, stepping up as the hero he was always meant to be and giving the suggestion of 'great responsibility' that every iteration of the hero holds so dear a try.
It's…
