Here's Why the Reboot with the Most Fan Disappointment Goes to 'Charmed'
Charmed, the television show about magic, witches, warlocks, and sisters, has never left fans' minds. Even though the series ended in 2006, it's never really been gone since it continues to air on Netflix, the DVDs still sell strong, and the graphic novels continued the Halliwell sisters' stories until 2016. In fact, those graphic novels delivered story lines that could work well on televisions screen in reuniting Piper, Prue, Phoebe, and Paige.

'The Little Mermaid' Review
So, this movie starts off by telling the legend we all know and love of Ariel. But this time, it's about a girl named Elizabeth with some different plot twists. She and Eric don't actually get together, which is a bummer, but the person she does fall in love with (why she wants to get legs) ends up falling in love with someone else and marries her instead. So Elizabeth is stuck on land. This time, though, she doesn't give her voice in exchange. She gives her soul and it has been stolen by a ring master at a circus and she is stuck with him.

A Message for People Who Talk During Movies
A few months ago, I wrote an article called "A Message for Parents Taking Their Young Kids to See Deadpool 2", where I pretty much just ranted towards all parents who thought it would be a good idea to take their young children to the R-rated Deadpool 2.

Locals, Tourists in Nepal Star in Eye-Opening Short Film that Sheds Light on a Country Threatened by Tourism
Director Dekel Berenson’s latest short film, Ashmina, didn’t exactly happen overnight. For five years, he set out on an adventure to explore the far ends of the world such as the North Pole and Mount Everest. It was on that trip to Nepal, in 2014, that inspired his latest, thought-provoking film. While in the country’s second largest city, Pokhara, to finish his training as a paragliding pilot, he encountered several local children who left a lasting impression on the UK/Israeli-based filmmaker.

U.K. Babes
When I was 12, I was in junior high talking to some friends about going to London as a vacation when we got older and we talked about going to see Big Ben, Parliament, go on the buses, check out the train stations, and even see their famous Ferris wheel but one thing that was never mentioned was how gorgeous the women were.

The Importance of Film Within Korean Society (Part 4)
Probably one of the biggest forces in cinema is from Hollywood. However, recently we have been seeing a slow death in the Hollywood formulas that have been used and worn thin for so long now. It is more visible in some genres then others—a particular area that it is most obvious in is the horror classification. If you take a look at this aspect of western films there is little change since the "slasher" films of the 1980s, with only a few exceptions such as The Blair Witch Project (1999). The issue with franchises that become horrendously overdone is the audiences are left with a sense of over-familiarity that takes all the fear out of the films by making them painfully predictable.

Pulling Rank: Works That Exemplify What a True Spy Hero Is from Smart Slob to Luminary
Every agency from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been tasked with safeguarding the lives and property of Americans. Other internationals like the MI6 in the United Kingdom have been working like really smart pest control agents to knock out the hornets’ nests around the world. Individuals who sign up to fall in to the ranks must pass rigorous mental and physical tests, with emphasis placed on the former. Countless novels, plays, films, and songs have incorporated the functions of government bodies such as these. To understand properly just what an operative may function as, the author of works of fiction must rely on volumes of knowledge supplied by actual agents to get the scenes just right. It is helpful to get into the minds of the characters and depict just what a CIA agent would do once given top secret information about nuclear weapons being developed in Iran, or an National Security Agency (NSA) agent who halts another NSA employee who is planning to spy on the private messages of millions of Americans.

No One is Perfect
I have always enjoyed reading. As a child, and even now, I would read anything I could get my hands on, from mystery, to romance, to fantasy. However, the book series that always stood out the most to me in my younger years and the one that I always read was Nancy Drew. I would read Nancy Drew after Nancy Drew until I had exhausted all the books at my school library and the local public library, from the original series published in the 1930s and all the way to a newer graphic novel series. I was hooked! I just couldn’t get enough of Nancy, her best friends Bess and George, and her sweetheart Ned.
