'Are You The One?' Season 7: Singles Drama Makes for Good TV
You probably were still around when MTV was all about the music videos, showcasing the staples of the music industry and the new vibes they were bringing to our culture. Nowadays, MTV shows today's music videos early morning time and the rest of the time it is all about the drama. I am one to steer away from real life drama but when it is on the screen, I can not help but grab a bowl of popcorn and get sucked into the drama of others. Is it just me or can you help and change programming?

'To All the Boys I've Loved Before'
We all love a good high school love story. With movies like Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, 10 Things I Hate About You, A Cinderella Story, and Love, Simon, the world has had and loved its fair share of high school love stories. We always hope that the lead lands the boy—even with Love, Simon all we wanted was for Simon to find his special boy, too. Recently, Netflix provided the world with the newest [and extremely popular] high school romance, To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Leading lady Lara Jean Covey [played by Lana Condor] only wants love, too, and she finds it in a very uncommon and unexpected way.

The Versions of Wolverine on 'Earth-616' (Main Marvel Universe)
If you are reading mainstream comics recently, then you may know that there are quite a few Wolverines running around in the main Marvel Universe. Some of these Wolverines are children of the original Earth-616 (Main Marvel Universe) or are alternate versions of Wolverine. This may be daunting for new comic book readers because there's just so many Wolverines. So to clear things up, let's get into the Wolverines that are present within the Main Marvel Universe at the moment. This means that we will not be going into various versions of Wolverine in the Multiverse unless they are present on Earth-616 at the moment.

'Justice League: Gods & Monsters'
A twist to the beloved red and blue Kryptonian of the DC universe and Metropolis. This alternate universe begins with the destruction of Krypton, much like the original beginnings of the classic. The planet is on the verge of exploding, the house of El has failed to convince the population of a possible salvation, and general Zod is staging his self-righteous coup. The timeline of the classic is then skewed when Zod interrupts Jor-El and Lara attempting to send the soon-to-be fertilized DNA of Lara off-planet along with the Kryptonian archives. Just before they are able to 'plant the seed of Jor-El', Zod intervenes and implants his own DNA. The result is that Kal-El no longer has his originally intended, biological father, but now is a child of Zod. The story then jumps the timeline to the altered present day.

'BlacKkKlansman' A Review
Whenever you think of a Spike Lee film, you can guess very accurately that you're going to encounter a movie that delivers some very hard-hitting and true messages about race and division within modern American society. Whether he's doing a historical biopic like Malcolm X, or a comedy like Bamboozled, one thing that is prevalent through all his work is what it's like to exist as an African American in American society. The message is also clear that no matter the era in which his movies are set, things might look like they have changed, but things haven't really changed all that much at all.
