How Batman: Soul of the Dragon Successfully Sidelined The Dark Knight
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.

Be honest. What would you do if a masked stranger invited you, for one weekend, to participate in an extraordinary experiment that would allow you to fulfill your most unspoken fantasies? Would your desire to live life to the fullest take over, or would you prefer to stay in your quiet little routine? Katia, Ava, Lena, Elise, Camille, Jules and Milo didn’t stop to ask. They don't know each other, they don't know where they're going or what's going to happen, and yet, they are all gathered in this van, heading toward a weekend that promises to be as intriguing as it is exciting.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
Earth and Blood is slow, but it still has it’s entertaining moments. If you’re into thrillers, or want to watch something new, then this film might be for you. As for me, Earth and Blood was tolerable enough.
'Wolf Like Me' works if you want a show to shut off your brain while watching. If you think too much, you'll hurt yourself.
Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara (2025) is a soulful musical romance led by fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. A heartfelt tale of love, grief, and emotional healing that’s taking the Indian box office by storm.
