Netflix Favorites List
Before I start naming and going crazy with a big list that never ends, I should say that you may or may not love these shows or movies as much as I do but I'm happy to make my list anyway. I would also like to add that this list is in random order, not from worst to best or best to worst. Don't get it twisted. Here we go, so buckle up.

Top Comic Reads from a Comic Amateur . Top Story - August 2018.
I have been reading comics almost religiously for a month now. Compared to my 19 years of life, one month seems minuscule, and it is, but the last 31 days have provided me with 31 opportunities to bury myself in illustration and just get lost for a while.

Cinemas Review: 'The Spy Who Dumped Me'
Well to say that this movie met my expectations is an understatement. This movie blew past all my expectations. I definitely expected it to be cheesy and very low by cinemas standards, but it was anything but that. This film was a full blown comedy. It had amazing one liners, and so much comedy that people were rolling in the isles. By the end of the film, my side was hurting from laughing so hard.

Reason First: Worst Examples of Spike Lee’s Double Dolly Shot Listed from Goofy to Awkward
On the occasion of his narrative film, BlacKkKlansman (2018), Spike Lee can celebrate a return to his more accessible types of films. As a terrific documentarian, though, Lee has crafted some moving, profound works of nonfiction, non-narrative films in the past. But when it comes to his feature films, he has a proclivity to use poor camera grammar. In particular, the double dolly shot which depicts a character or characters seemingly floating on air gives no indication of the mood, intentions, or other ideas involved in the scene. The worst part of this camera inclination is that it appears in so many of Lee’s works. It is difficult to engage into the movie when the seemingly hovering (usually protagonist) flashes onto the screen. And there seems to be no sign of Lee stopping this stunt. He continues to implement this technique (if you can call it that) into his oeuvre. With over 30 years of professional experience to his credit, Lee has garnered an honorary Academy Award amongst other accolades. But what are these boards and critics voting for in these instances? Do they not realize that the double dolly shot is annoying, clumsy, and jarring? Does Lee know that the shot is annoying, clumsy, and jarring? Maybe it is because he thinks that since no one else employs the shot as much that it is okay to be the director to stick out from the crowd. It’s too bad that he sticks out like a weed amongst a bed of roses. So get your double cutting instructions and prepare to break the fourth wall with, Why Are You Ranking: Worst Examples of Spike Lee’s Double Dolly Shot Listed from Goofy to Awkward.

What Is It With Me And Redheads?
When I was a kid, I grew up around a lot of gals who had blonde hair and darker hair but I've never seen a gal with red hair before. In 2002, one of the movies that got me into superheroes and superhero movies, Spider-Man was coming out and Kirsten Dunst was in it. I already had a bit of a crush on her because I used to watch, Bring It On a lot when I came home from school but by the time I saw Spider-Man, my crush for her developed a bit of a fire. I was seven or eight years old at the time and she was all I talked about besides Britney Spears and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Scooby Doo, Buffy The Vampire Slayer).

The 80s Is My Decade
There are so many things that I loved when I was 12. Movies, acting out movie scenes at school, taking some naps when I get home from school, listen to music on my CD player (I was probably the last kid to have a CD player since mp3 players and iPods were blowing up), even goofing off with my friends in class and at lunch but one thing I'll never forget is discovering more of the 80s for the first time.
