  Coyote Creek Christmas 2021

  ★★ Watched 03 Dec 2023

  Suitable Xmas vibes, but 'Coyote Creek Christmas' lacks any interest.

  I found the full duration of this 2021 flick to be a rather dull affair, the story is as predictable as they come and the characters/actors don't do anything to stand out. I didn't personally find much warmth or onscreen chemistry from leads Janel Parrish and Ryan Paevey, or from anyone else in this for that matter.

  Even for made-for-television festive movies, there is better out there than this. Forgettable.

  We Couldn't Become Adults 2021

  ★★★ Watched 05 Nov 2021

  A tough one to review as I'm not totally sure how I feel about it.

  I'll start with the positives that I have for 'We Couldn’t Become Adults'. For one, the cast. I enjoyed the performances from those onscreen, I wouldn't say any of them are all that all-star but I did like watching them act. Mirai Moriyama, Sairi Itô and Sumire stick out most. The look of the film is also nicely done, while there's a neat end credits…

  Raya and the Last Dragon 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Aug 2021

  Very good!

  'Raya and the Last Dragon' improves upon Disney's other two animated theatrical releases from the 2020s in 'Onward' and 'Soul' to deliver a thoroughly entertaining fantasy adventure. The characters are enjoyable, the animation is superb and, arguably most importantly, the story comes out, at least to me, as very intriguing; I didn't feel a dull moment.

  Kelly Marie Tran and Awkwafina are the film's two standouts from the voice cast. Tran is faultless as Raya, while Awkwafina brings…
