Twilight
The Twilight movie; what a disappointing film adaptation of a good book. As a fan of the saga, I was not pleased with the shabby graphics and mediocre acting. Main characters were far from portrayed as described in the books making the entire first film an opening for bad jokes.

Third Times the Charm:Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
Guardians of the Galaxy three puts my assumtions on a rocket and sends them into outter space! It details my favorite rabbit's, or rather now clearly raccoon's, origins. He finds family and understanding in the face of utopian delusions and hate.

A Wrinkle in Time
Meg and Charles Murry’s father goes missing and they bring their friend Calvin O’Keefe to another world to fight a monster called the thing. It was nominated and won several well deserved awards. It is a great book, well written and I recommend that you read it. A great work!

Aliens: A Critique
Ripley’s second round with the xenomorph has it all! ACTION PACKED! Badass colonial marines, cute kid, weird robot guy. And of course monsters, more monsters. Bigger and badder. Ripley in Caterpillar Power Loader exoskeleton machine fights massive alien queen. Best sequel ever made. Dare I say, better than the original?

A Bite Sized Review
This novel sparked the inferno that was teenage angst and rose colored glasses. Almost twenty years since its debut, Twilight has amassed a cult following that also contain its biggest critics. As a "Twi-hard", I can comfortably say there are far better, and healthier, vampire romances to get lost in.

Inception (Film)
Nolan intricately challenges traditional narrative boundaries. Against dream espionage, the storyline intertwines love, loss, and redemption. Its multi-layered plot, paired with cinematic visuals and an evocative soundtrack, beckons repeated viewings. Far more than just a heist narrative, it's an exploration into human consciousness, perception fragility, and the malleability of memory.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Rowling unveils an enchanting realm where magic and reality converge. Anchored by young Harry's transformative journey, the tale is saturated with lore, endearing characters, and ethical lessons. Beyond whimsical elements, the narrative emphasizes friendship's enduring power, valor, and the eternal battle between good and evil, resonating with readers across ages.

Ridley Scot's Alien
No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space. Claustrophobia in the empty void. A perfect monster hiding in the shadows. Practical effects. Disturbing androids. Corporate dystopia.
