If you've ever picked up a DC comic, seen a superhero movie, or found yourself arguing about who's stronger-Superman or anyone else-then you owe it to yourself to see Superman in theaters. This movie isn't just a return to form-it's a celebration of everything that makes comic book storytelling so powerful.

Rated a solid 9/10, Superman is pure James Gunn-vibrant, weird, bold, and bursting with heart. The world he builds is alive with heroes, history, and nods so deep in DC lore you'll be pointing at the screen like the Leo DiCaprio meme from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Whether it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo, a suit design pulled straight from the panels, or a line that echoes iconic story arcs, this film gets it.

But this isn't fan service for fan service's sake. Gunn injects soul into the Man of Steel, surrounding him with a cast that feels part of a living superhero universe. This isn't just Clark's story-it's the beginning of a much bigger one, and it feels that way. The color palette is gorgeous, the soundtrack absolutely slaps, and every frame pops with energy.

Even if Superman was never your favorite hero, this movie might just change that. And even if it doesn't, you'll still walk away entertained, inspired, and hungry for what's next.

Go see Superman. You might not love every choice-but if you skip it, you're missing out on the start of something truly super.

Murderbot may not be the exact adaptation I envisioned, but it's still a standout sci-fi series that deserves your attention. While I originally hoped for a tighter season that combined the first two novellas, the choice to expand the world and focus more deeply on the supporting characters was a bold-and ultimately rewarding-move.

The series smartly gives more weight to the human (and non-human) characters surrounding Murderbot, which adds richness to the universe and raises the emotional stakes. Moments like seeing Sanctuary Moon brought to life? A genius inclusion for longtime fans-and a clever entry point for newcomers.

That said, I do wish the pacing were sharper and that the show leaned more into what makes Murderbot, well, Murderbot: that sarcastic, deadpan, and deeply relatable internal monologue. It's one of the highlights of the books, and dialing that up in future seasons could take the show from great to unforgettable.

Still, the foundation is strong, the themes are smart, and the potential for Season 2 and beyond is massive. If you're into character-driven sci-fi with soul, heart, and the occasional awkward robot feels, Murderbot is absolutely worth the watch.

Stick isn't trying to be Ted Lasso-and that's exactly why it works so well. It's not about inspirational locker room speeches or feel-good endings wrapped in a bow. Instead, Stick grounds itself in gritty, honest storytelling with characters who feel like real people-flawed, stubborn, hopeful, and raw.

The show finds magic in subtle moments: a bar conversation that hits a nerve, a breakdown that feels too personal to be scripted, or an unexpected win that resonates deeper than any championship. Episode eight, for example, is a gut-punch of emotional payoff. The final minute? Simply unforgettable. If it doesn't move you, check your pulse.

And it's not just about feelings-it's about growth. The Price Makes episode hits with heavy realism, while the PGA tournament episode is both thrilling and surprisingly reflective. Stick captures what it means to fall, get back up, and keep swinging, not for glory, but for purpose.

If you're tired of polished characters and storylines tied up in clichés, give Stick a chance. It's heartfelt, a little messy, and deeply human-and that's what makes it stick.
