Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) – Review
A Paramount Picture, Written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, Directed by Jeff Fowler. The much discussed and delayed video game adaptation has finally hit screens, and it is entirely fine and harmless.

Horse Girl (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Jeff Baena, Alison Brie, Directed by Jeff Baena. It is almost impossible to describe to someone exactly what to expect when watching Horse Girl because it alternated in genre and tone at an almost alarming rate throughout, and while it definitely isn’t always successful, it is a truly fascinating …
