Review of Wildwood (movie, ), directed by
Wildwood was a really fun movie. I've seen most of the LAIKA movies and have been seeing trailers for Wildwood on most movies over the last few months, but I wasn't sure how much I'd like it.
The premise is that a girl in Portland is watching her baby brother when a murder of crows literally pick him up and carry him off into the aptly named Impenetrable Woods. She then sets off to rescue him.
There are definitely a few places where they lean on well-worn tropes, but overall this was a very unique movie with some massive battles on a Lord of the Rings scale.
The voice acting was great, with standout performances from Charlie Day, Tom Waits, and the lovely Awkwafina.
I'd recommend seeing it in the theater because it's a beautiful movie and really makes the most of its scale.

Review of Blood Mercenaries Origins (book, ), by , ISBN 9781942462347
Finished on .
This was the first Ben Wolf book I've read, and I enjoyed it very much. It's basically four origin stories in one, setting up the rest of his Blood Mercenaries series. It grabbed my attention right away, and I binged it over a couple of weeks. I liked how different each origin story was.
