OVERCOMPENSATING: A COLLEGE COMEDY THAT MISSES MORE THAN IT LANDS
I think I might be the only one who doesn’t like this new comedy series on Amazon Prime. I just couldn’t get into it. I like the premise of the show I really do but I just think it didn’t have much depth, and it almost felt like watching raw footage of someone’s first year…
INNOCENCE, MERCY, AND THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE: THOUGHTS ON “JUST MERCY”
“Our system has taken more away from this innocent man than the power to give back. We can change this world for the better. If we can look at ourselves closely and honestly. “I believe that we will see we all need justice, we all need mercy and perhaps we all need some measure of…

Chris Columbus has done an excellent job with this murder mystery film. He has a special place in my heart already, as he directed the first two Harry Potter movies, which defined a big part of my childhood. That nostalgic affection probably made me even more excited to see his take on Richard Osman’s beloved novel. This…
MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYES SEASON 2: A GLOW-UP WITHOUT THE SPARK
I loved Season 1 of My Life with the Walter Boys, but Season 2 made me question whether the magic is already gone. It felt repetitive to season one in the sense that you still have Alex riding his horse Murphy, only now he wants to get into rodeo riding. It’s like déjà vu with just…
THE TRUTH ABOUT JUSSIE SMOLLETT: A CONFUSING DOCUMENTARY THAT MISSES THE MARK
The Truth About Jussie Smollett sets out to re-examine one of the strangest celebrity scandals of the last decade. In 2019, Smollett, best known for his role on the TV series Empire (which I’d honestly never heard of before watching this), reported that he was the victim of a brutal hate crime in Chicago. According to his account,…
