Disney's The Little Mermaid (2023 film)

With Disney Princess movies like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan gaining their live-action equivalents, now it's the turn of The Little Mermaid to have its share.

Disney's The Little Mermaid
(2023 film)

With Halle Bailey starring as the titular mermaid named Ariel, the live-action rebirth of Disney's The Little Mermaid brings her story to life for the new generation of movie-goers as they're going under the sea to uncover her origins.

As the youngest of King Triton's daughters, Ariel wants to experience life beyond the sea, and ever since her fateful encounter with a human named Eric, she made a deal with an evil sea witch named Ursula, granting her wish to live outside the sea, but all that wish came with a terrifying price.

Ever since Disney announced that Halle Bailey will be casting the role of Ariel in the live-action adaptation of a Disney classic, purists are unhappy about it, but when this movie came to life, some changed their minds and decided to watch it anyway to the fullest. 

Anyway, like past Disney Princess movies came to life, it stays faithful to the original, although some are having questions about Flounder and Sebastian's appearances in the movie. With stunning visuals, a heart-pounding soundtrack, emotional storytelling, and memorable musical scenes, the live-action version of The Little Mermaid really is a must-watch for the whole family before the beginning of the summer season. Guess summer came early with the arrival of this latest rebirth of a Disney classic.

Although controversial by some, it's one of the best family movies of the year.

Avatar: The Way of Water

A sequel 13 years in the making, James Cameron's magnum opus, Avatar, returns with its long-awaited sequel the world has been longing for.

Avatar: The Way of Water

Avatar: The Way of Water, is the long-awaited sequel to James Cameron's cinematic masterpiece that promises to be one of the best films to come out not just this year but the entire decade. Fans who witnessed the original movie have waited long enough to experience the continuation of Jake Sully's adventure as a Navi.

Set over a decade after the first film, The Way of Water sees Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana) raising their own family. As he's fully accommodating his new lease of life as a Na'vi and living in peace, humans are once again threatening the lives of the Na'vis. It's up to Jake Sully and the Na'vis to save their civilization again.

Thanks to Disney's acquisition of Fox a few years ago, the sequel is packed with high-quality visuals that are more colorful than the first film, giving this movie bursting with life and dynamism as moviegoers return to Pandora spectacularly. 

Aside from the vividness it delivers, the storytelling is highly emotional, master-class, and downright relatable. It feels serene to witness the Na'vis living in peace until the clash against human enemies trying to destroy Pandora again evolved this joyful movie into an all-out thriller where they put themselves to the test.

With its storytelling evolved to perfection, stunning visuals thanks to Disney's takeover of Fox, and the moral lessons it delivers, this long-awaited sequel to the 2009 blockbuster is no doubt a worthy contender to next year's Academy Awards. It's proof that classic Hollywood is bursting back to life and for the rest of the world, this is the main reason why we love movies. This is the newest magnum opus that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats and that is the bottom line.

Welcome back to Pandora.

Doctor Who 2022 Special 3

From facing the Tzim-sha in her first outing to battling against the Sea Devils in ancient China, the 13th Doctor era showcased to us the meaning of hope and change against all odds. Whovians worldwide had a lot of fun getting to know the first-ever female Doctor since her maiden voyage and how much impact the 13th Doctor did on the history of the series. Now, after four years, the Jodie Whittaker era came to a thrilling end with her final adventure titled The Power of The Doctor.

Doctor Who 2022 Special 3

Anyway, without spilling some spoilers in this review, it's time for a little post-show impression about the 13th Doctor's final adventure which is thrilling at the start and emotional in the end. 

Dan's exit from Team TARDIS, The Master's apocalyptic endgame to kill The Doctor and destroy the world with an army of Daleks and Cybermen alongside him, the return of legendary companions Ace and Tegan, the time limit suspense The Doctor and friends are racing against, and the emotional but shocking ending that rocked fans who witnessed it, not to mention some special sightings from this episode, this is what The Power of The Doctor is all about. An all-out thriller from start to finish.

This special is the Doctor Who equivalent mix of Spider-Man: No Way Home and No Time to Die because, for the Whovians, the suspense, thrills, and emotions really made the 13th Doctor's final adventure special, and now that the era of the first female Doctor ended, the Jodie Whitaker era will hold a very special place in the history of Doctor Who.

THE 13TH's STORY IS DONE, BUT DOCTOR WHO WILL RETURN...

Doctor Who 2022 Special 2

The second of the trio of Doctor Who specials, the Jodie Whitaker specials, brought back one of the most formidable foes in Doctor Who history as The Doctor and friends venture through 19th-century Chinese waters in search of a mysterious pirate treasure while making uneasy alliances to outsmart the Sea Devils.

Doctor Who 2022 Special:
Legend of the Sea Devils

No time for lengthy spoilers, as promised, because it's time for some quick impression about this second Jodie Whitaker special. The Sea Devils may be new for modern Whovians but for veteran Whovians who enjoyed both classic and modern DW adventures, the return of those formidable amphibious warrior reptiles, first seen on TV in 1972,  is a clear reminder of what classic Who monsters need to make a comeback in the modern Who era and this is it.

With the Sea Devils returned in the modern Who adventures after five decades, seeing The Doctor and friends going treasure-hunting in 19th-century Chinese waters is something The Doctor hasn't done before, although getting involved with pirates is nothing new for our favorite Time Lord. Uneasy alliances, shocking twists, daring decisions, and the return of the "Geronimo" dialogue, this is what the Legend of the Sea Devils is all about.

With The Doctor and friends' pirate adventure against the return of the amphibious warrior reptiles done, the final of the trio of Doctor Who specials, airing this Autumn 2022, will mark the end of the 13th. With a mob of villains gathered and surprising comebacks of DW favorites, expect the 13th Doctor's final journey to be astronomical.

So, are you ready for The End of...The Doctor?

Doctor Who 2022 Special 1

2022 will mark the end of the 13th Doctor era with a trio of specials known as the Jodie Whitaker specials. The series of specials kicked off with the New Year 2022 special where The Doctor and friends are stuck in a time loop while trying to save a couple from a Dalek attack, resulting in a "Live, Die, Repeat" scenario a la Edge of Tomorrow.
