Alexandra Shipp Is Right, Storm Doesn't Need Black Panther
Actress Alexandra Shipp has been playing the character of Storm (Ororo Munroe) since X-Men: Apocalypse (2016). She now returns to the character in this year's upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Fair to say this will be the end of her career as Storm, given the merger of FOX and Disney.

'The Exorcist'
From the get-go I will tell you that this is not meant to be partisan in any fashion. I am not indicating that the writer or director is a darling of the American right. Nor am I saying that a liberal cannot enjoy this film. Follow me as I try to explain how this film tries to counter the post-modernism of America in 1973. I will note, I will be using the "Director's Cut" for my observation.

Why Is There a Lack of Loving in American History?
I just saw the film Loving recently. My knowledge of the Loving v. Virginia US Supreme Court Decision is relatively new. Growing up, many facets of civil rights history are drilled into us, such as the Thirteenth Amendment, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Brown v. Board of Education, the civil rights legislation of the sixties, and so on. Most people, including maybe even your teenagers, can say at least the bare minimum of these topics.

Dissecting 'Batman Returns'
What if I told youTim Burton's Batman Returns is not just a bad Batman film, but just a poor film in general? I feel as if some people give this film too much credit to this day. Of course, it is no The Dark Knight but some people still hold a place for it in their heart. I believe part of this comes from just pure nostalgia and admiration for the 1989 film. For many people, Tim Burton's Batman starring Michael Keaton was and is their Batman. It was either their introduction to the Batman or what they finally wanted after all the camp and silliness of decades prior.

The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn

To All the Boys I've Loved Before
To All The Boys I've Loved Before is a cute little teen romance film. Many adults who grew up with John Hughes and other fun, 80s teenage date films like Can't Buy Me Love will easily fall for it. At the same time the movie succeeds in being relevant and modern as well. The cast is insanely diverse, we have a single father and plenty of usage of social media. But I am not here to discuss that; instead, To All The Boys I've Loved Before carries a powerful theme. This theme spans across all ages and all people.

The Time for Robin Has Come
A little while ago Gotham’s Bruce Wayne – David Mazouz submitted the idea he would love to play Robin in the DCEU. More specifically he’d like to play the Damian Wayne incarnation of Robin. It is an interesting concept to have an actor from another DC property play another character, especially when that character is playing the young, in-training, future Batman and wants to try out for the character’s son. Regardless of the actor, I would argue it may be time for Robin to come back.
