The Last Full Measure Review
I was born on April 11, 1997; exactly thirty-one years after Airman William H. Pitsenbarger died in the Vietnam war. Until this film came out, I knew nothing about him. I knew almost nothing about the war at all. I went into The Last Full Measure expecting a film which was…okay. All it had to do was tell a story and keep my interest; maybe make me cry a little from time to time. It did all that.

Family is Everything Even on TV
Growing up in a Mexican American family I had a lot of cousins to bond with, and considered them unofficial siblings. Our aunts and uncles showed us unconditional love, as well as the true meaning of family. We learned to be there for one another no matter what, no questions asked. That type of family connection has always been important to me. When I set out to watch something, whether it be a movie, or a TV show I always get heavily invested in the ones that are deeply rooted into the family, and their culture.

A Millennial Parent's Guide to Movie Night
As a millennial, and a parent to two small children, nothing has brought me more excitement than sharing some of my favorite old-school childhood movies with my kids. However, thanks to modern day technology and the types of movies and shows they are accustomed to, the movies of my past haven’t always resonated with them in the same way. Doesn’t mean I haven’t still made them watch!

Gimme Me Some of That Baby Mama Drama
We've all seen those TV shows and movies that over exaggerate the pregnancy glow and how wonderful it is to be pregnant (I mean, don't get me wrong, being pregnant is an incredible thing. You are literally creating a new human being inside of your body. It's totally badass) but they never show the down sides and/or complications of being pregnant.

Movie Review: 'Minari'
The American dream is for everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, the American dream, prosperity, independence, freedom, are available to everyone. Some people place hurdles in front of the dream based on their prejudice, petty hatreds, and ignorance. But those hurdles can take nothing away from the true American dream and those who fight to achieve it. A good example of that is the new movie Minari.

Pieces of a Woman: A Heartbreaking Portrayal of Grief
My eyes are squeezed shut. I can hear the panting and crying of the woman giving birth. There are words of encouragement scattered amongst a repetition of the words “push harder” that are always followed by a long hoarse groan. I vow to myself silently that I am never going to have a child or even have sex because childbirth sounds inhumane. All of a sudden, there is a crash, and a shrill scream pierces the air. A strong cry punctuates the silence that follows, and there is a collective gasp around the room. I open my eyes to find my friend has fainted and fallen from her chair and the woman on the television screen has given birth to a baby girl. I was 11 years old when I studied the process of human reproduction. In some of the classes, me and my friends were in a constant fit of giggles, especially when learning about the male anatomy, and in others stunned into silence, our minds unable to reconcile the stories we had been told and actual biological fact.
