'Twin Peaks' 2017: There's Always Music in the Air
The soundtrack to the original Twin Peaks is one of its most iconic and adored elements; Angelo Badalametti's evocative score, created in direct collaboration with Lynch himself, does an incredible job of enriching the mood and underscoring the emotion of almost every scene. Complimenting this are the songs sung by Julee Cruise; in an unusual feature for the time, Cruise is character herself, a singer at the local bar called the Roadhouse. Her angelic vocals and dreamy melodies created an ethereal ambience to her performances, where the lines between dimensions would often seem to blur; this is perhaps most notable in Episode 14, where the Giant appears on stage over Cruise as she sings a heartbreaking ballad, and delivers a devastating message to Coop, while the Elderly Waiter offers his condolences.

Review on 'No Game No Life'
First, before we dig in, let's talk about how I got into this anime. It was recommended to me by a friend (like more to come) and I was curious because she told me it was like an epic chess battle-and as a lover of strategy I eagerly went to check it out. I will tell you now, I give the anime a 10/10. It would have been 9/10 because the ending—but as of now there is news of a second season so I will give it that extra point.

Must Watch Netflix Originals
Netflix's new line of original television show series has become a huge project that created some of the most popular names in viewing. Though it would never have been conceivable a couple of years ago, Netflix Originals now share the same amount of media attention as classic cable TV shows.

Classic Movie Review: Pathfinder
While watching a Criterion Film on an app on your phone is something akin to listening to Beethoven’s Fifth on a blown out Walkman, I must say that my purchase of the FilmStruck app has been a pretty great investment thus far. This week alone I watched Joan Crawford and Henry Fonda in Daisy Kenyon, my 10th viewing of Bogart in In a Lonely Place and this evening I indulged my taste for obscure foreign adventure films by watching the 1987 Norwegian hunting thriller Pathfinder.

My Love and Hate Relationship With Netflix
It all starts out innocently enough. We get lured into streaming an endless amount of shows for a sliver of the cost of cable or satellite TV. I was on board with Netflix since the good old days of actual DVD rentals. I even took a break from the service thinking I had seen all there is to see and that was it. For a while...

'To The Bone' Movie Review
For starters, I am very grateful that this movie was made due to a lot of individuals suffering from various eating disorders who deserve to be represented in the community and cimema as well. This movie could elicit solace in an individual experiencing an eating disorder. The movie represents many eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Lily Collins is truly remarkable as 20-year-old Ellen who is battling a deep case of anorexia. As many people might know, Lily herself suffers from anorexia and I feel that this makes the movie more personal and real in this aspect. To you Lily, thank you for accepting this role and showing your real life bravery on screen for many can be moved and find courage in it. When it comes to Ellen's family of origin, her parents are divorced and father is estranged from the family although his name is mentioned. Both parents have remarried—Dad to a very high strung woman and mom to a woman. Ellen's ride or die nonstop support system is her sister who encourages her throughout the movie and listens to what she has to say, unlike her parents.

My 'Clannad' Review
Clannad started as a video game and branched out into two seasons and a movie. Each season aired at different times, the first episode of the first season was aired on 2007. The first season is Clannad, the second season is Clannad: After Story and the movie is simply titled Clannad: The Movie. To specify, most people who have seen Clannad are of the eighteen to twenty-five age range as the series was aired in 2007 and the intended audience was teens at the time of its release. Although anime is becoming more and more popular in America, Clannad isn't considered a popular anime because it finished airing around the beginning of the anime boom. I plan to review the anime series as a whole and to answer basic questions that all anime lovers are forced to ask, here is what I know: the animated series comes in both English subtitles and in English dub as well as Japanese. Many fanbases do convert the series over into their own language. It's easy to find on YouTube or many fan-based websites for free. If you'd rather own the series it wouldn't break your bank, a normal DVD set costs around twenty to thirty dollars and is purchasable online or in specific stores. I personally would recommend purchasing the series and watching it at your own pace. Now that that’s out of the way, Clannad left me breathless; I do suggest it go on your list of must-sees. The genre is geared towards the female audience yet is set in the point of view of the male protagonist which is rather effective in its goal to attract the female audience throughout the plot.

The Grimm
So I have completed watching Grimm, an American TV program on Netflix. I had mixed feelings about some of the characters throughout the series, I still have one more to season watch but I have to wait until it comes onto Netflix to get my true feelings on the characters. However, if my feelings about the characters are still the same after that season, then I know my predictions will be the same, and since my predictions were correct last season, then I know I’m right.
