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.

Shadows of Change
Title: Shadows of Change: The Niger Republic Coup Update In the heart of the Sahel region, where the golden sands whispered tales of ancient civilizations and modern aspirations, the Niger Republic stood as a crossroads of culture and history. The landlocked nation was no stranger to political upheavals, yet the events that unfolded during the summer of 2023 were to become a pivotal chapter in its history.

A treasure hunt that takes both it's fictional world and our world on a journey beyond our homes. A journey filled with adventure, sorrow, goofiness, and death.

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.

Game of Thrones
Though few of us would truly want to step foot into the cutthroat world of Westeros, we surely kept our eyes glued to the screen as we watched our beloved and hated fictional characters barely make it out alive.

Breaking Bad (Critique)
I loved it. The characters are full and rich, and their arcs are compelling. The casting is perfect and the chemistry between the main characters is too; they play off each other perfectly. Hank is also a huge favourite.

Dirty Dancing
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner." I remember my mother telling me at the ripe age of twelve that this is a film for every teenage girl to watch. A film that almost did not make it in the industry because of the concept with fantastic casting to boot. Worth the watch.

The Evening News
On the screen is a country on fire. Relentless firestorms devour the landscape and all it contains. A brave few control the view. Others are firefighters, evacuees, or casualties. In-studio reporters interrogate survivors. Helpless millions watch. Change the channel? No way. This is reality they think they want to watch.
