I genuinely can't understand how a film with Antony Starr attached ended up this soulless and painfully out of touch. Starr, who's proven he can carry complex, dark characters with brilliance (see The Boys), is relegated to a flat, cartoonish role in G20, and it's honestly depressing to watch. He deserves better. Much better.

The rest of the cast delivers performances ranging from wooden to outright cringeworthy. It feels like a C-tier TV movie padded out with half-hearted exposition and stilted dialogue. The CGI looks unfinished, like it was rendered in a rush with last-gen software. Explosions, effects, even basic compositing..... It all screams "cheap."

But what really sinks G20 is the script. The plot is thinner than tissue paper and fundamentally misunderstands the very topics it tries to dramatize: crypto, global economics, diplomacy. It tries to make bold political statements but does so with the nuance of a sledgehammer. Apparently, we're supposed to cheer as world leaders transform into action heroes, trading punches and monologues like it's a Marvel spinoff. It's laughable, and not in a good way.

In 2025, with so much global complexity and public distrust in figureheads, did anyone really think audiences wanted a film that glorifies power and pretends economic collapse can be solved by a few tough speeches and a well-placed grenade? The political undertones aren't just clumsy, they're embarrassing.

G20 is a perfect example of what happens when a film wants to be topical and thrilling but lacks the writing, direction, and self-awareness to pull it off. It's a confused, poorly executed spectacle that tries to be everything and ends up being nothing. One star, for Antony Starr, who deserves to escape this wreck and land a role in something worthy of his ability.

I went into Snow White (2025) with low expectations, but still-some small part of me hoped it wouldn't be as bad as the early buzz suggested. Sadly, it's worse. Much worse. This film isn't just disappointing; it's an insult to the legacy of the original masterpiece.

First of all, the lead performance is shockingly poor. The actress brings zero charm, zero depth, and zero emotional weight to the role. At no point did I believe she was Snow White-she looked bored, sounded unconvincing, and moved through the film like she was doing community theater after pulling an all-nighter. There's no magic, no innocence, and no trace of the beloved character generations grew up with.

I watched this in a theater built for 100 people. There were three of us. Halfway through the movie, one person just got up and walked out-and honestly, I envy them. I stayed, hoping it might get better. It didn't. It was a waste of time, a waste of money, and a painful reminder of how far Disney has drifted from storytelling excellence.

The script is bland, the pacing drags, and even the visuals feel like an afterthought. The charm and soul of the original are completely absent. Instead, we get a hollow, awkward mess that tries to be modern but ends up being soulless and confused.

I never imagined Disney would do this to one of its most iconic tales. Snow White (2025) is a tarnish on a once-beautiful story-a sad, sad attempt at reinvention that no one asked for. If you care about the original, do yourself a favor: skip this.

"Mo" is an absolute gem of a series that delivers a powerful mix of humor, heart, and cultural nuance. Mohammed Amer not only shines in the lead role but also deserves immense praise for co-creating and bringing this story to life with such authenticity and depth. His performance is magnetic-effortlessly blending comedy with vulnerability, and painting a touching portrait of what it means to live in limbo as a Palestinian refugee in America.

The writing is sharp, funny, and emotionally resonant. The pacing is tight, and the show never loses sight of its emotional core amidst the laughs. The supporting cast is equally fantastic, but it's Amer who truly anchors the show, carrying it with charisma and genuine heart.

The only real critique I have-and this is from a professional lens-is the color grading and cinematography. While the composition was solid, the overall look lacked the kind of warmth and visual character that could've elevated the entire aesthetic. Whoever was behind the lens as Director of Photography (DP) didn't quite capture the full visual potential of the story. With a more thoughtful approach to lighting and grading, the series could've had even more cinematic charm and texture.

That said, this is a minor nitpick in what is otherwise a stellar series. "Mo" is a standout in the current TV landscape-funny, timely, human, and unlike anything else out there. I loved it and I recommend it to everyone. It's a bold, fresh voice that deserves to be heard (and renewed!).
