The final two episodes of Citadel: Honey Bunny‘s season finally bring Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) and Bunny (Varun Dhawan) back together, and introduce Bunny to his daughter, while also wrapping up the flashbacks detailing the events that happened eight years prior and Honey’s betrayal and presumed death which allowed her to disappear. After Bunny sues Guru (Kay Kay Menon) for peace, KD (Saqib Saleem) refuses to step down leading to a bloodbath of an extended action sequence featuring Honey and Bunny mowing down legions of Guru’s men. Despite no news on whether or not a Second Season will be coming, the show ends on a cliffhanger with Bunny making a suicidal run buying time for Honey and Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) to escape.

Sonic 3

  • Title: Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Adding a bit of pathos and depth to the franchise with the addition of Shadow (Keanu Reeves), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is easily the best film of the franchise. A large chunk of the film is dedicated to revealing the tortured origins and motives of the games’ famous antihero consumed with vengeance following his escape from the G.U.N. prison facility where he’s been kept in suspended animation for the last 50 years. Reeves turns out to be a great choice to voice the character whose less murdery side is shown in a series of flashbacks highlighting his friendship with Maria Robotnik (Alyla Browne) which ended in tragedy prior to his incarceration.

While in 2000 we see Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) return to her family home, flashbacks to 1992 continue with the mission that caused her to split from Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and Guru (Kay Kay Menon). The surprise news of her unexpected pregnancy weighs on Honey heading into the team stealing the Armada from Dr. Raghu (Thalaivasal Vijay) whose actions after she faints at dinner with him prove to her what kind of man he is as do Bunny’s killing him on Guru’s orders. Between Honey’s horror at Bunny’s actions and lies and Bunny’s anger at her questioning their mission, any hopes for Honey sharing the news of her pregnancy fall apart.

Kraven the Hunter

  • Title: Kraven the Hunter
  • IMDb: link

Following the lackluster Morbius and the disastrous Madame Web, and limping into theaters as the news breaks that Sony is abandoning it’s wider Spider-Man Universe comes Kraven the Hunter starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as super-villain Sergei Kravinoff reimagined here as something closer to the Punisher targeting, hunting down, and murdering criminals like his father (Russell Crowe). If there’s praise to be levelled at Kraven, it’s that the film is better than either Morbius or Web. However, that’s a dubious distinction.

Hawkeye – The Complete First Season

  • Title: Hawkeye – Season One
  • wiki: link

Of all the Disney+ series created for the MCU, Hawkeye is easily my favorite. Casting two likable stars and throwing them together in an odd couple pairing at Christmas with an entire city’s underworld after them provides humor, action, thrills, and tons of fun especially once it also begins to mix in Yelena (Florence Pugh) as well.
