Movie Review on 'First Man'
First and foremost, I'm not a professional critic. I have had a passion for movies since I was young and even got my associates in digital media. For the last year and a half I have been going to a movie in theaters at least one once a week.

'Alex Strangelove' Netflix Review
Alex Strangelove is a movie that I don’t think anyone expected to come out on Netflix, but given that it is pride month I welcomed it with open arms. I’ve seen both sides of the argument that some people loved it while others saw it as a failed attempt at mixing comedy with a LGBT love story. For me the movie was fantastic at showing all the emotions that I never could explain to anyone. It showed almost every emotion that I felt during my coming out as gay.

How America Almost Ruined Aardman Animation
Wallace and Gromit still to this day stand as Aardman’s crowning achievement; an innovative animated duo that would not only become pop culture icons within British society, but instead icons the world over. The eccentric Northern inventor, with a fondness for Wensleydale cheese and his smart silent dog, has been said to have done “more to improve the image of the English world-wide than any officially appointed ambassadors” (Marriott, 2015). The stories of Wallace and Gromit could quickly be excused as being ripped from the pages of a Hollywood DreamFactory script—Missions to the moon, robotic trousers and humanistic animal spies. Despite this, the truth and Britishness of Aardman’s claymation films doesn’t come from the plot, but instead the feel of their cosy terrace house, cups of warm tea and the evident love for a cheesy snack, almost a revival of the traditional links to nine Nineteenth Century satirical cartoons; satirising the truthful stereotypes of the modern (and particularly Northern) Brit (Oxford, 2018).
