mL2639_1024x1024My first run as an online film critic began with a Spider-Man review, so it’s only natural for me to try and start a new one in the same way.

It’s up to Miles Morales, bitten by a radioactive spider two days earlier, to learn the ropes from these displaced heroes and stop the accelerator before it tears the universe apart.

THE SCORE: “Amazing” and “Spectacular” are words that come to mind. 4.5/5

STRAIGHT UP: Fun, but far from the franchise’s best. 3/5

Red Comet Reviews features a TV series for the first time!

Voltron (1984) was a great show that aged like a bottle of fine milk. Can this new one inherit my hopes and dreams?

What’s It About? Five travelers from Earth are chosen to become the paladins of an alien princess, and must use the power of Voltron – five lion-shaped machines that can combine to form a mighty robot – to defend the universe from a vicious conqueror.

STRAIGHT UP: Has all the tools to surpass the original. 4.5/5

Sure, I’d love to watch Fast & Furious: In Space!

STRAIGHT UP: A showcase of thrills, humor, and imagination. I loved it. 5/5
