Film Review: Petite Maman

Petite Maman shows respect for its audience and reverence for its central themes, opting not to over-explain its time travel logic, or even bother spending too much time ruminating on whether that's actually the case. Above all, this is a story about motherly love.

Comedy Review - Trash With A Porpoise

The kids had fun, I had fun and most importantly the Earth had fun. For at its heart, Trash with a Porpoise is a show with a purpose.

Film Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

I could imagine this movie disappointing many crowds: the hardcore lore-centric fans, people who loved the first one and didn’t want change, people who didn’t like the first one even least a little bit, etc. But I can assure you of two crowds that really enjoyed this movie: children (because Jim Carrey seemingly resurrected The Grinch in this performance), and me.

Comedy Review - Jai Cameron: Daddy

In his fourth stand-up special to date, and hopefully many more to come, Jai creates a wholly unique framework of comedy that contains a masterful control of structure and tone, as well as a hilarious and self-deprecating editorial of his own life.
