The Fabelmans

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: The Fabelmans
  • IMDb: link

Steven Spielberg‘s semi-autobiographical Hollywood version of his childhood ends on a high note with one of the best scenes of the year (which I certainly won’t spoil for you here). The journey to that moment takes a little longer than it should and feels a bit like a greatest hits album rather than one coherent narrative, jumping around to important moments in the life of Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle & Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord) which would mold him into the man and filmmaker he would become.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

  • Title: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • IMDb: link

Disney’s live-action version of Pinocchio from earlier this year felt redundant and unnecessary. A shadow of the original animated film based on the classic story, the new version failed to capture much magic at all.

Stargirl – The Killer

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: – Chapter Ten: The Killer
  • IMDb: link

In an episode that gives us Mike (Trae Romano) and Jakeem (Alkoya Brunson) working their way back home to warn of the Ultra-Humanite, attempts to broker peace between the JSA and the Mankents, and (as the title suggests) the reveal of our killer, “The Killer” is most notable for the final appearances of Crusher (Neil Hopkins) and Paula (Stella Smith). Having started their run on the show as low-card villains which slowly became comic-relief neighbors, the Crocks did warn me over and their final appearance gives us them work separately and together as true friends of the heroes and loving parents to the young woman they will leave behind. For Stargirl to make me care about the pair’s deaths it a testament to the investment made in both characters.
