Trainwreck
Trainwreck is without question my favorite movie from Amy Schumer. It's a very charming film, with a great story, and a great backstory showing why the character is the way she is, but without pointing blame. It's absolutely hilarious and John Cena is incredible in this film. Very underrated film.

Fairy Tale
Fairy Tale is a great new book from Stephen King. There’s already a movie being made based on the book. It’s really detailed and has descriptions of the other world the main character walks into that are vivid and bring the story to life, making it all feel very real!

A Critique of George Orwell's "1984"
"1984" has one glaring aspect that lies in its relentless bleakness, which at times can overshadow the depth of its social commentary. The exaggerated portrayal of totalitarian control, while serving as a cautionary tale, occasionally verges on the melodramatic, potentially distancing readers from engaging with the narrative and it's characters.

Schitt’s Creek: Where Eccentricity Blooms
Schitt's Creek: a riches-to-rags tale that is hilariously absurd. From “Ew, David's” antics, “A little bit” Alexis’ escapades, Moira’s feuding wigs, and Johnny’s wacky unsolicited advise, the Roses find their way in a town where eccentricity is the currency. Soak it all in as the Roses bloom in unexpected soil.

Who even cares who John Galt is?
Rand’s masterpiece of the human spirit, “Atlas Shrugged,” demonstrated that I can both appreciate the strength of writing while fundamentally disagreeing with the core philosophy of the work. The brutal entanglement of individual happiness and productivity miss the mark on the true beauty of the human spirit - boundless kindness.

Hap and Let Down
A gift to the world if television plays the standard quarantining roles of whisking away boredom or glazing the room with adventurous background noise. Except for Hap and Leonard’s diluted water ending. Closure wasted; plot teased then tasteless; a sad farewell instead of a monumental example of southern fried greatness. 9/10

Under the Dome
Mysterious, impenetrable dome cuts off town from outside world. Factions form, violence and mayhem ensue. In Under the Dome, Stephen King has created a microcosm of humanity to mirror our faults as well as our best qualities. This novel is a treatise on human nature. Captivating and nail biting. Masterful.
