Reason First: Why Depravity Reigns on BET
It’s all well understood. The drugs and sex and rock and roll lifestyle is sexy and exciting, supposedly. Music supporters who have yearned to see that lifestyle on screens large and small want to view all of the ins and outs of their favorite musicians’ lives. Even when it comes with a cost, like a disease or ailment or death, audiences still seek out art and entertainment that exhibit these characteristics. With the knowledge that none of the indecency is conducive to living life, they continue to rush to theaters or couches or to devices to get a glimpse into the perversion.

Fictional Television Characters Who Changed My Life
10. Kevin McAllister - Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York It's a no brainer. At the beginning of first film, Kevin is seen annoyed with his family. He thinks he's better off without them. Imagine his surprise when he wakes up on the morning of the day he and his entire extended family were supposed to be leaving for France only to find that he's *gasp* home alone. Kevin is forced to do things a child his age would never normally have to face, such as but not limited to, outsmarting two burglars named Harry and Marv who are determined to break in to the seemingly empty house. He steps up and protects his house, while facing his fears of the scary neighbor and the furnace in the basement. When his family finally makes their way home, Kevin is delighted by their return, just in time for Christmas. By the next movie, a year later, and Christmastime again, Kevin is back to his ways. Now a little older, he has been around the block. He doesn't want to go to Florida for Christmas, it just isn't right to him. He just wants to stay home with his family. I find it heart warming when Kevin goes out of his way to stop the two criminals a second time after Kevin winds up in New York City by himself, bumping to them again once they've broke out of prison, they tell him their newest plan: they're going to rob the toy store Kevin had visited not long ago, Duncan's Toy Chest. Along the way, Kevin befriends the strange woman in Central Park who had previously scared the bejesus out of him, learning the important life lesson that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Harry Potter & the Magic That Stays with You

'Heartless' by Marissa Meyer
Welcome to the magical world of Wonderland, where here you learn the story of the Queen of Hearts! In the wonderful world of the Queen of Hearts, we know the story of Alice but did you know how the Queen of Hearts came about? I didn’t! Not until I read Heartless by Marissa Meyer. She writes “I hope you’ll forgive any inaccuracies, or even chalk them up to creative license if you’re feeling generous, and I sincerely hope that the spirit of Lewis Carroll will find more amusement than offense in my attempts to expand on his crazy, kooky, quirky world. It is Wonderland after all.” Lewis Carroll is the original writer of Alice In Wonderland. I honestly felt as if I was in Wonderland experiencing all the magic myself! Come live in the fictional world of Wonderland.

Late Review: 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer'
What does every unique film have in common? This sounds like a trick question, or the beginning of a boring riddle even, but there is something in each film that makes its own. It can be the acting, the writing, or any of the production and post-production that takes a massive grip on the film and never lets go.
