Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Review
Scott Pilgrim is back, but in this anime style, to bring a fun-filled watch that focuses on the evil exes to solve a mystery that runs throughout the series. Each episode is like a different genre that provides background for the exes and Ramona and stays true to the vibe of the comic and movie. The returning cast from the movie gives the series a nostalgic hit, and everyone brings their top game to the anime.
The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes: Review
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes expands the world of Panem and offers us a grittier, ruthless world than the original movies had. The areas are smaller, but the characters are bigger. Tom Blyth is exceptional as Coriolanus Snow and gives a layered performance. The world of Panem feels darker in this installment of The Hunger Games, more chaotic with escalated violence, and more focused on the Capitol to show their callous nature and how they hunger for violence as entertainment. Snow sees the world as an arena for the Hunger Games, and he will ensure he is the victor, unafraid of killing his closest companions to ensure Snow lands on top.
