Review: Star Trek – Enterprise
I hope you like TIME TRAVEL. Star Trek: Enterprise, although it first aired as simply “Enterprise“, began its journey in 2001. Unfortunately for it, Star Trek will never be truly successful after the turn of the millennium.

Review: Star Trek – Voyager
Usually Star Trek: Enterprise is cited as the moment when Trek “lost it.” I think it was a little earlier, with Star Trek: Voyager. Which is painful to say; I grew up watching Voyager almost as much as the previous two. I clearly remember going and buying VHS tapes (each containing two whole episodes!) which…
Review: Captain America: Brave New World
An MCU paint-by-numbers. It is perfectly serviceable, but doesn’t have any real punch. Sam Wilson, aka Captain America, finds an old friend being tried for attempted assassination of the American President. But upon investigating this, he finds a darker secret underneath. It isn’t uncommon knowledge that Captain America: Brave New World was in development hell…
