Why Minimalism in Branding Matters More Than Ever
Why Minimalism in Branding Matters More Than Ever The growth of social media has increased consumer awareness regarding product ingredients and proper usage, resulting in more informed and selective shoppers. Today's consumers prioritize transparency and authenticity in both product content and brand values. A minimalist approach to branding that emphasizes visibility and clarity has resulted from this shift.

Revisiting the Alien Saga, Part 1. Content Warning.
Alien: Romulus has hit cinemas at last, while I wait for a chance to see it, I've decided to rewatch and re-assess every film in the saga. Yes, that includes the Alien vs Predator crossover movies. Is this a treat or a gruelling endurance test? Well, a bit of both. Settle down for the first part of this extraterrestrial overview, as I revisit the first four films, telling the life, death and rebirth of Ellen Ripley.

Spaceballs is Still Hysterical!
I wrote a lot of Star Wars content back in May; something I realized a short while after the last article was that I should have reviewed Spaceballs. Why? Because it's a Star Wars parody. Wait a minute, you've never seen Spaceballs?

2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey is a cinematic enigma, a cosmic dive into the primordial pool of dreams and visions of a tomorrow that may never come, but is already here. Are you satisfied yet with the mystery? Have you discovered your monolith? Kubrick called it "the most expensive religious film ever made." (He was rejoicing that MGM had yet to discover they had just financed such a film.)

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is a curious film insomuch as, right up front, it has an inconsistency with the title (the opening credits simply read 'Buckaroo Banzai," despite what the film is officially called), and the opening narration veers considerably away from the words on the screen. Weird. At any rate, it's a fun, frolicking, rollicking comic book movie, that, also, curiously, has few highs and lows; actually none. It presents its camp, comic book vision as evenly, as sedately as actor Peter "Naked Lunch, Robocop" Weller. Jeff Goldblum, Dan Hedaya, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Ellen Barkin are along for the ride.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
Unsurprisingly, the sequel to Star Trek: The Motion Picture was shorter and less of a slog than the top-heavy original, which seemed to drag on entirely too long. This time around, we have a classic "even-numbered" Trek film, one geared toward tackling the big question every science fiction and "Star Trek" buff always ponders: how long will it take for the redoubtable James Tiberius to whoop up on some butt-noggin Klingon ass? In this sequel, nothing flat, although it isn't Klingons here that pose the problem for Admiral Kirk and the merry crew of a reoutfitted Great Bird of the Galaxy starcruiser, it's that damn Ricardo Montalban, who, as Khan Noonien Singh, caused so much trouble in Episode 22, Season 1 of TOS, "Space Seed." Here, Khan and his crew of bad Seventies rock band rejects are holed up on some dismal planet, just licking their space chops over the prospect of getting revenge on one James. T. Kirk.

They Who?
Nineteen Eighty-Eight was a damn fine year, but it's generally not conceded, among the conspiracy-minded, to be a year when anyone got "Red Pilled." No, that peculiar, Matrix-derived designation for the time when the Red Pilled finally, finally, finally, see the world (to adapt a line from Mel Lyman) "as it really is," was still in the future. All the pilling, red, blue, or otherwise, would come along in the fullness of time. This was pre-internet, and conspiracy bulletins were still xeroxed and sent through the U.S. Mail.

A Heartfelt Return to the Emotions: My Experience Watching "Inside Out 2"
A Heartfelt Return to the Emotions: My Experience Watching "Inside Out 2 As a fan of Pixar's original "Inside Out," I eagerly anticipated the release of "Inside Out 2."

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn is a rather rank, if entertaining mid-Eighties sci-fi apocalyptic sort-of Mad Max with one-eyed alien baddies and an evil wizard flick, that has Jeffrey Byron ("Dogen," a name borrowed from "Kung Fu" lore) rolling around in a souped-up dune buggy cum ATV futuristic psycho car, cruising around the California desert which is supposed to be the inhospitable surface of some other planet, randomly fighting dusty, rugged Duneites that have weird plastic breathing masks; and, well, one eye ("Cyclopians"). There's all kinds of really cool action and lots of armored vehicles getting blown up and rolling over and dudes with sort of rotting blue zombie faces getting creamed.
