Wildwood review

 

In an evergrowing world full of generitive AI content Wildwood stands out as both a technical and creative marvel. Created by hand with so much love and care it's evident to see that Laika are true masters of their craft and love cinema. Wildwood tells the epic tale of a young girl's journey into a mysterious woods after her young baby brother is kidnapped by a murder of crows. Young Prue Mckeel takes it upon herself to rescue her brother whatever the cost. Along her journey she is joined by a local boy named Curtis and as the two get seperated their stories intertwine and intersect as bandits, animals and magic all stand in between Prue and her brother. 

From the creators of Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings it's clear right away that Wildwood is a lot like those movies at least visually. But tonally this is Laika's most mature movie yet not shying away from violence, mature themes and even some blood. The scale of the setpieces are absolutely breathtaking including a final battle sequence that is akin to Lord of the Rings it really is that good and impressive. 


Wildwood is not just the best animated movie in quite some time it is one of the best movies in quite some time period. It's full of charm, whimsy and reletable characters. I can't stress enough just how incredible this movie looks in action it's wild to even think that it was all created and crafted by the human hand and mind. With AI becoming more and more promiment in media Wildwood feels like one big giant finger to it all and showcases Laika at the peak of their powers. This is a movie you cannot miss!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
