Movie
A Defense of New Moon
New Moon is a harrowing depiction of an insecure girl suffering from depression. Whether or not we agree with why Bella is depressed, Meyer captures her internal turmoil perfectly. The book is lacking as a romance and it's definitely not a feminist masterpiece, but it is a fascinating psychological study.

A Christmas Carol (Critique)
Iconic, picturesque and spooky. A nauseatingly sentimental promotion of crass consumerism. Scrooge has no arc; he's just moved by terror from one extreme view to the opposite. His motivation is corrupt. Still a terrible person, but now buys love with generosity.

Critique: 2001 A Space Odyssey
Deep mysteries, unsolved, lie below the surface of the film. Black rectangles repeated at scale through time, with the exact dimensions of an obscure movie screen and a dollar bill. A hand touches the screen, and a human is reborn as something new, outside the Earth. What did Kubrick know?

Few Good Men Critique
Rob Reiner's 1992 film "A Few Good Men," starring Tom Cruise as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, brings to the forefront the complexities of military justice, honor, and personal accountability. While the film undoubtedly showcases Tom Cruise's charismatic portrayal and the tension-filled courtroom drama, it's essential to examine both its strengths and shortcomings in its exploration of these themes.

An Unpopular Opinion
We can manipulate the Kens and get them to turn on each other. Is this really the message we are sending to young women? That when a marginalized group tries to balance the scales (even if it is a bit off-base) we should beat them back down into place? Disappointing…

"A Bug's Life" Movie is about MindSet Change
At the beginning of the film, Flik uses his invented leave-harvesting machine with high efficiency, while all other ants continue with manual labour due to the "Ideas are very dangerous things!" culture. In the final scene, all ants are joyfully utilizing Flik's machine. "First rule of leadership: Everything is your fault."

Poetic Justice...
❤Janet Jackson portrays emotionally unavailable "Justice". ❤Tupac Shakur shines on screen as hotheaded "Lucky". Synopsis: Justice, Lucky and their friends embark on a California road trip. Adventure, chaos, romance, bickering, & Maya Angelou's poetry crop up along the way...

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.

Lord of the Rings
The mesmerising landscapes of New Zealand provide the only solace for enduring this lengthy saga. Emotionally unstable man with sword tries to thwart group of little people searching for a ring. Or disposing of a ring? Something about a ring.
