The Master and Margarita - Critique
Bulgakov’s novel is arguably the world’s best-known work by a modern Russian writer. However, Bulgakov would have been horrified that his “novel of temptation by evil” became a mass culture commodity. He wrote it for one reader - Stalin - pleading to set free dissident writers kept in lunatic asylums.

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

50 Critics: E.T.
When Science Fiction auteur Stephen Spielberg gave us E.T. He gave us the most iconic film about Alien life ever. E.T. Is a masterpiece because it gives us a more personal look into the life of an extraterrestrial, as opposed to just the eyes of the humans who fear them.

50 Critics: Sister Act
In 1992 comedy queen Whoopi Goldberg once again showed off her leading lady chop in the comedy classic Sister Act. Goldberg and her co-stars do a great job at keeping audiences hooked in this habit-donning adventure about a showgirl in witness protection at a convent hiding from her violent boyfriend.

50 Critics: Justice League
The Justice League film from DC comics is one of the biggest examples of improperly exercised potential. Some of the film’s biggest problems are we don’t know most of its main characters and the film has a villain who doesn’t pose much of a believable threat to the film’s protagonist.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A nineties cult classic that has grown old gracefully, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still reigns as one of television’s most influential feminist turning points. Its moral compass and deep-rooted coming-of-age character development remain unchallenged, even amongst the vampires, daemons, and forces of darkness. Into every generation, a masterpiece is born.

Peacemaker
And we're back to me talking about John Cena. I'm so glad he took the leap to hollywood. John is an incredible actor and absolutely hilarious. Yeah he's had some blunders in the past. Peacemaker is not one of them. Hilarious, violent, and shockingly deep when it wants to be.
