  Scooby-Doo 2002

  ★★½ Rewatched 28 May 2023

  Scooby-Doo was certainly a staple in my childhood, and is well casted with the titular Mystery Incorporated, but with dated CGI and a disappointing final act, Scooby-Doo doesn’t live up to the animations high regards. 

  The cast include Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and the titular Scooby Doo (voiced by Neil Fanning). It is very well cast, and all the live action actors definitely resemble the animations. The CGI for Scooby-Doo still…

  8 Mile 2002

  ★★★★ Rewatched 28 May 2023

The cinematography also highlights the poverty and neglect that people are facing in big cities and even suburban areas. The film certainly…

Nicholas Holt (Renfield) is always engaging to watch, and definitely is a highlight to the film. It’s got fun moments and definitely humorous, however it feels like something is maybe missing or…

  Superman 1978

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Apr 2023 5

  Superman still manages to capsulate the roots of the titular superhero and makes the translation from comic page to the big screen so elegantly. I was fortunate to see this on the cinema screen for the 45th anniversary since it’s release; and definitely engrossed me as I hadn’t seen this for nearly 15 years. 

  The film still serves as the best representation of the character on-screen, and that being the core of Superman possessing the representation of hope. There truly…
