All Forms of Art

  Part 2 of Wednesday ’s second season really delivers where it matters most: the heart of the show.  Jenna Ortega continues to embody Wednesday with a sharp, dry brilliance, but what truly carries the season is the evolving friendship between Wednesday and Enid. Their bond is the emotional anchor of the story — heartfelt, funny, and at times heartbreaking. Watching the two of them grow closer while navigating Nevermore’s chaos is what kept me glued to the screen. Family Ties and Missed Opportunities The gothic aesthetic and atmosphere remain strong, and I appreciated the way the writers wove in pieces of Gomez and Morticia’s past. That integration added texture to the main plot and gave a deeper sense of the Addams family legacy.  Still, I couldn’t help but wish the rest of the family had more screen time — their presence always adds a spark, and I felt their absence. The Gaga Cameo On the downside, the much-hyped Lady Gaga cameo was underwhelming. There was a lot...

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

A post-apocalyptic scenario without zombies. Is that possible? Yes! And with quite an interesting result, to be honest.  Bird Box , starring Sandra Bullock, offers a fresh take on the well-explored scenario of an apocalyptic event. Not Exactly Jumpy It wasn’t as scary as I read it would be; your heart will not race a lot, but it’s a pretty decent movie and a good time, definitely.  It might seem a little slow in the beginning, but as the story unfolds, it will most certainly catch and hold your attention until the very end. Curious Choices The protagonist is a very curious choice, as well as the way the story develops. Her internal growth is obvious, but also her very own individual goals.  Rather than trying to find an explanation for whatever is happening or how it might all come to be, all she wants is to reach shelter, both for herself and the children. However, she won’t look like the perfect mother who will do everything for her babies. That makes...

Supernatural was the first American show that I actually following and watched throughout. I discovered it one fateful night, amidst some zapping on Portuguese TV, on a channel that usually didn’t have anything interesting. I stopped for 10 seconds and I just couldn’t change the channel. Then, every week I stood in front of that TV for a whole new episode of monsters, mystery and plenty of weird stuff until the very last episode of the first season. I hated it! I  recall it being mentioned at the end of  the last episode,  in the top right corner of the screen, and I thought it would be the very last one, ever. Dean ( Jensen Ackles , also known for his role  in The Boys ' 3rd season) was dead! Endless Seasons The years went by, and there was always a new season. Some were great, some good, and others not so much, including some “What the hell is this?” moments.  I think, somewhere along the way the producers went too far, and nowa...

I really enjoy watching horror movies, even when they’re not great, because you either get a good scare or a good laugh. I just like it. So, based on that facet of myself, I decided to watch this movie with my husband. I thought “Hm, this might not be great, but we’ll at least get a laugh!”. I didn’t laugh at all. Quite the opposite!  Jumpy I’m not sure what I think of It Follows , but it definitely got under my nerves. I jumped a couple of times and was pretty tense for most of it. So, it did a pretty good job for a movie in this genre. Of course, I found some flaws or weaknesses with it, some more severe than others, such as, for example, the ending to the movie. It was so abrupt, it seemed as if the tape had just run out or something…  That particular ending has a purpose, though. However, I can’t quite figure out what it might be. Will we perhaps have a second movie?  Do exactly what you shouldn't Speaking of the things I don’t reall...
