Cosplaying with a Mental Disorder
Body Dysmorphic Disorder is described by the Google Dictionary as "a psychological disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with imaginary defects in their appearance." There isn't a lot of discussion about this disorder on the internet when it isn't linked to Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia, but I feel as though it's important to talk about.

A Short Review of 'The Predator'
First we had Predator (1987, John McTiernan). A cheesy, fun, action filled Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi film loved by many, including myself. Then we had Predator 2 (1990, Stephen Hopkins), which consisted of Gary Busey going mental, Bill Paxton being a douche bag, Danny Glover calling the alien hunter a, quote, 'Pussyface,' and a raunchy sex scene disrupted by some typical violence associated with the Predators usual M.O. (Yes, that is literally all I remember from Predator 2). Then we had the rather underrated crossover, Alien vs Predator (2004, Paul W. S. Anderson). Not a great film but still quite a decent and an engaging one.

How to Kevin Feige a Superman Universe
With the recent news of Henry Cavill's possible (can anyone actually confirm this yet) removal/exiting Superman we are left wondering what is next. Most of us can agree that DC/Warner Bros have not produced the best Superman films as of late, although Henry Cavill's portrayal as Superman was spot on.

Marvel's 'Avengers: Infinity War'
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War I think Avengers 3 is the best Marvel movie ever made so far. To be honest that really should surprise no one. 2018 has been a great year for Marvel. Black Panther was amazing also, and expect a review for that soon.

'Thanos Rising'
The character Thanos is one of the most feared villains in all of Marvel comics. Thanos is the same character who uses the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of the living things in the universe at a snap of his fingers. Many people do not know what made this charter into who he is. Thanos Rising was a five-issue comic book series written by Jason Aaron and published by Marvel Comics. Aaron tells the story of how Thanos, an alien from the planet Titan, began as an innocent child who is disgusted by the idea of dissecting animals in his class and then became a calculating killer nicknamed "The Mad Titan." This series has elements of a Greek tragedy. Many factors make Greek tragedies such as the tragic hero, recognition, suffering, and a Greek chorus (Webster).

So Who’s Gonna Kill the Standup Comedian?
Look. I’ve had it up to here with stand-up comedy specials. If millennials are looking for something else to kill, then here’s my suggestion for the next industry we absolutely destroy. I mean hey, might as well, right? It’s not like the people making the most money in stand-up even care about us young people anyway, right? I mean sure, they want our money as much as anyone else, but—like most industries—the biggest names are doing the most damage while doing the least amount of good. So why not, right? Let’s send stand-up as we know it packing, just like we did with napkins, fabric softener, diamonds, and whatever else they’re blaming on us now.

Review: 'Crazy Rich Asians'
On the face of it, this definitely sounded like the film I would instantly avoid. The title is trying to be wacky, and the plot and trailer felt like a bog-standard rom-com flirting with the tone of Sex And The City or Entourage.
