The Winchesters (2022)
Enjoyed more than expected
Went into this not sure what to expect. Was really pleasantly surprised.
Core cast are good and engaging. Action and fight scenes so far are good. The story line has enough to keep me interested. Some of the dialog was a bit cheesy and the glances between Mary and John clunky but hopefully that settles down.
As a fan of the parent show Supernatural, this actually feels more like a reboot than a prequel and reminds me of the earlier and better seasons of Supernatural but with better effects (hey it was over a decade ago). Really interested to see where this is heading and what answers it gives.
So far I would recommend this.
Vampire Academy (2022)
Wanted to like this but bland and generic
Rarely do I write a review but I was really disappointed in this. I was looking forward to a good vampire/supernatural based show but this was just very bland. Characterizations were predictable and unimaginative. If you fed into an AI the supernatural type shows aimed at the 18-34 audience from the CW these characters and dialog would be what you'd get. From episode 1 you could pretty much guess a characters dialogue and actions to events. Cast deserved better writing/direction. If I can stick with it and hoping that it gets better and if it does I'll be very happy to edit this review! It's missing heart and that spark that makes you excited for new episodes.
Superman & Lois (2021)
Unexpectedly Good Show
Well this show took me by surprise. Didn't expect it to be so good. It's a show with a lot of heart. Bringing them back to Smallville and the family aspects are working well. They're also balancing Superman having his own action and then Lois as a reporter.
Tyler Hoechlin works well as both Clark and Superman, showing his struggles and trying to do the right thing.
Hoping the quality remains because so far it's one of my favourite shows.
Fear Street: 1994 (2021)
Just bad
The bones were there for this to be an enjoyable film but it was put together terribly. Characters were awful and not like real people at all. Everyone could have died and I wouldn't have cared. Music placement didn't work. Just didn't work at all. Very disappointing, at an overview level looking at the characters and story it should have worked.
The Education of Fredrick Fitzell (2020)
Well acted but not a great movie
Based on the acting I would have given a higher rating, you can't fault the cast. Dylan O'Brien does a great job.
The direction, storytelling was just convoluted and messy. It was trying to be smart and artistic but just didn't pull it off. A similar story that has been done better in other movies.

Undrafted (2016)
Enjoyable movie
I know nothing about baseball. Had low expectations but I think anyone who has dreams and a love for something can relate to this movie. Easy watching and enjoyable.
The Domestics (2018)
Surprisingly Enjoyable
Wasn't expecting much from this but it was enjoyable. Would have made a good tv series!
