The full Halo Infinite experience is on the horizon, which means it’s time to look back on every other game in the series’ past and rank them from worst to best. I love being able to replay Halo 3 through The Master Chief Collection as much as the next person, but I’m definitely not alone in feeling the series needs something new to help revitalize … Continue reading Every Halo game, ranked
Disney’s latest animated feature, Encanto, is rich with Latino representation. The animation is simply stunning, but what tugs at your heartstrings is the message it sends about the importance of family and accepting someone for who they are. Disney’s Encanto is finally here, and it’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile now, especially as a Latino-American. The studio’s first release in 2021, Raya … Continue reading Encanto film review (2021)
King Richard is one of the most uplifting and entertaining films of the year. Will Smith’s performance as Richard Williams is his best in years, while Aunjanue Ellis is a revelation. Most importantly, it teaches the important lesson of speaking positivity and inspiring your children to reach great heights. He’s done quite a few duds throughout his career, but I can’t help it. I’m always … Continue reading King Richard film review (2021)
Despite some bugs and missed opportunities, the new Guardians of the Galaxy game proves not every game needs to have an open-world and multiple playable characters in order to be fun and feel grand. I’m going to be honest here. When I heard Square Enix subsidiary Eidos-Montreal was making a Marvel game, especially a Guardians of the Galaxy game, I wasn’t very interested. Seeing what … Continue reading Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy game review (2021)
In a tribute to the late, great Jonathan Larson, Lin-Manuel Miranda crafts a touching tribute to a man who, although obsessive and reckless, had a true passion for musical theatre. Andrew Garfield’s performance is fantastic and his singing voice was a huge surprise, helping elevate most of the musical numbers. 2021 has been an absolutely massive year for Lin-Manuel Miranda. His first Broadway hit, In … Continue reading tick, tick… BOOM! film review (2021)

The third Marvel Cinematic Universe film to release this year, Eternals, will be out this Friday and I was fortunate enough to catch … Continue reading Eternals movie review (2021)
Squid Game feels surprisingly fresh and original, despite being inspired by various themes. Although predictable at times, it’s an immensely tense watch, delivering moments of suspense, and ultimately elevated by incredible performances. I finally hopped on the train due to the massive amount of hype the Netflix original, Squid Game was receiving. For weeks, even months now, social media was going bananas about this series … Continue reading Squid Game season 1 review (2021)
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is very much a Super Smash Bros. clone with questionable graphics, but it’s full of charm thanks to the nostalgic characters, interesting and familiar fighting mechanics, and room for potential growth. Growing up in the ’90s and the 2000s, watching cartoons on Nickelodeon was one of my usual past times. Some cartoons that stand out as some of my favorites include The … Continue reading Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl game review (2021)
Clint Eastwood still keeps his persona intact with his latest effort, but Cry Macho is almost too simple of a film, delivering nothing special or memorable. Like many film buffs, I’m a huge fan of Clint Eastwood. The man is an absolute legend in the industry and he’s been involved in it for so long as an actor, director, and producer. What’s most impressive is … Continue reading Cry Macho film review (2021)
The film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical sometimes doesn’t measure up to the musical greatness of the original, but it’s a stunningly emotional and equally devastating spotlight on mental health and the measures some will take in order to cope with their own struggles. I’ve been waiting for this movie for so long now. I’ve never been able to catch the musical on Broadway, … Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen film review (2021)
