Looney Tunes Review: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century"
As a kid, you think of cartoons as being wholly comedic, but as you get older, you see more depth into your favorite cartoon shorts. Yes, the comedy's there, but there's also action, there's drama, and in some cases, tragedy. Chuck Jones had a knack for being well-rounded with his creations. His cartoons spanned a number of different genres, but the comedy is often there. One such short of Jones' that stood out among many others: the heavily acclaimed Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.

100-Word Movie Reviews
The Running Man (2025), Director: Edgar Wright The Running Man is an action-packed comedy. It stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, who I hope merits more starring roles because he is a talented actor. Only, his performance doesn’t save the film, which is an ongoing rollercoaster of repetitive jokes. The signature quick-cut humor and satirical tone of Edgar Wright are present, but he rushes through the social commentary. The action sequences last too long. The fight-in-a-towel scene made me laugh. Apparently, Powell had to film this in cold weather. Michael Cera is the funniest supporting cast member with Powell. I always like a Stephen King movie adaptation.
