Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Review – Better Than Predecessor Film
It could of course be that after the original two sequels (which were both horrible) and the continuation three years ago with Jurassic World (which was okay, though shockingly dull with generally terrible writing for the characters) the bar was so low that almost anything would have felt like a step up, but Jurassic World:[...]

iZombie Season 4, Episode 13 (Season Finale) Review: Liv Long and Prosper
The season finale rocked. That’s probably the best way for me to phrase it. I’ve been pleased and disappointed throughout the entire fourth season of the CW's iZombie - but mostly disappointed. The season finale turned out to be the epitome of perfection and embodied everything I've loved about series.

iZombie Season 4, Episode 12 Review: All You Need is Liv
Once again, another episode with way too many plots running around. Don’t think that I didn't enjoy the episode: between Liv getting kidnapped and Ravi finding the cure, I appreciated the creativity and story direction. But once again, the episode failed to answer serious questions from previous episodes.
