A film that resonates with the inner child in each of us, Dead Poets Society is and will remain timeless, and something that we each should return to when we fear we are losing a grip on our purpose, our innocence, our joy, or our lust for life.

Lord of the Rings

The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

50 Critics: Hercules
As the spinoff the iconic Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is as equally entertaining with its sense of ancient history storytelling mixed in with a great sense of humor. Leading man Kevin Sorbo does a great job as the show’s head of an action packed, fantasy based series.

50 Critics: The Originals
If you wanted to craft the perfect vampire series that wasn’t just a frightful blood fest of action then you would’ve crafted the Netflix series The Originals. This series is perfect example of full potential of what others vampire franchises like the Twilight Saga should have done but didn’t do.

Jurassic Park
Stephen Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park took move-goers on a prehistoric thrill ride. In classic Spielberg fashion, special effects, realistic creatures and terrifying action didn't disappoint. Intriguing plot twists kept us on edge, but a-typical writing made it a well-funded creature feature that's still a "must-see" for audiences of all ages.
