2020sLoki Season 1 (2021) Review
September 10, 2026
Loki Season 1 (2021) rates 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The best thing the Marvel streaming era produced, because it has a governing idea and obeys its own rules. A bureaucracy that files away every life that…
2020sLoki Season 2 (2023) Review

The Time Machine (2002) rates 5 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. H. G. Wells's great-grandson directed it, collapsed from exhaustion, and Gore Verbinski shot the last eighteen days. The first act is genuinely good and the film throws…
