Wonka Review
While only read about in the books and seen in the movies, the wonderfully weird Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory rivalled Disneyland as the most magical place for kids, full of imagination, and most importantly, confectionary. Everlasting gobstoppers, lickable wallpaper, three course dinner gum, a chocolate river and more; it’s easy to understand why the franchise in both mediums became wildly pop...

Jungle Cruise Review
Another Disney flick based on one of their theme park rides, Jungle Cruise is more Pirates of the Caribbean than Haunted Mansion, thank God, even if it’s not by much. Really, it’s more like one of the Pirates sequels. No, later than that. Which one had Javier Bardem? That’s the one. Which is fine, and so’s the film.
