5 Movies Every Film Lover Should Watch
1. 'Man with a Movie Camera' - Dziga Vertov Man with a Movie Camera is one of the most interesting and pioneering documentaries ever made. Created by Polish Director Dziga Vertov in the late 1920s, Man with a Movie Camera reinvented the documentary, putting stories and messages where there had previously been none. Not only was this new and innovative but is also extremely interesting, using montage and overlaying (extremely impressive for its day), this piece shows us how much of an art form filmmaking really is.

10 of the Worst Superhero Movie Visual Effects Ever. Top Story - July 2018.
Everyone loves superhero movies these days. Marvel cranks out at least five every year, with DC desperately trying to catch up by releasing even more. Stories from comic books are experiencing the most cinematic success in history. However, that does not mean all of these movies are home runs. A lot of them swing for the fences and fall way short of expectations.

God Can't Save This Queen
Robert Massimi. God Save Queen Pam at The Players Theater is in the same genre as the movie Ralph, where a nobody schlub is exalted to the hierarchy. Actress/ writer Erin Murray Quinlan is a happy-go-lucky bartender in Secaucus, NJ when Col. Eleanor Ainsley and Major Johnathan Digby show up at The Tiki Bar in the Meadowlands, just outside New York City, to inform her that she is to be the new Queen of England. She is next in line to the throne as England just lost their king, who suffered a heart attack at the altar. The would-be queen, Lady Fenella de Dieul (Marie Minette Linder), is none too happy about losing her crown due to the king's untimely death and will do anything to get it back. Her goofball son, Augustus de Dieul, is forced to go along with his mom's scheme to get her to the throne. Pam (Erin Murray Quinlan) has to learn in short order the rules and protocols of being queen. She is overwhelmed by the massive meetings and structure that it takes to be the queen. She clearly hates the job and all the structure and stiffness that goes with the job. She is not allowed to date the handsome Major Jaimie Toben (David Ventura), who has deep feelings for her right off the bat. Pam is a cross between Melissa McCarthy and Roseanne Barr, she is quite comedic and the first fifty minutes get on nicely.

'A View to a Kill' - Roger Moore's Last Mission
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where my mission is to spotlight the unfairly maligned and ignored. Back when I looked at the scores of John Barry (a composer best known for his work with the James Bond movie franchise), I chose to highlight the music from the 14th official entry in the franchise, 1985's A View to a Kill. I mentioned that it is my favorite movie in the series to this day. I knew I was going to have to explain myself since this one constantly shows up near the bottom of other fans and critics' official rankings of the Bond movies. Even the star Roger Moore was quick to dismiss it. I just can't agree, though; I love it! I know part of my affection for it is nostalgia; A View to a Kill is actually the first Bond movie I ever saw when I was just 7-years-old. However, that isn't the whole reason. Does it have problems? Absolutely. Do those problems hurt the film? In some ways. Does it have good stuff in it? Hell, yeah!

RIP Toys 'R' Us (1948-2018)
You're probably familiar with the saying, "All good things must come to an end." It's an end of an era for one of the best toy stores in the world, but it's also a sad day for everyone who loved going to Toys 'R' Us as children and adults. After 70 years in business, Toys 'R' Us has officially closed all of their stores for good, as of today. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall in hopes to stay open. Unfortunately, lackluster sales during the holiday season ended up shying away customers and vendors. The "I don't want to grow up. I want to be a Toys 'R' Us kid" jingle that we all sang along to will always be in our hearts forever. This was a place that I loved going to as a kid in the '90s. It was like my happy place, playing with all the toys and checking out the video games. Now that I'm an adult, I'm going to share some moments that I enjoyed going to Toys 'R' Us.

'Happy Tree Friends,' Sounds Convincing Right? Think Again
Okay, so before I start, I have to ask you a question, what do you think of when you read "Happy Tree Friends?" I think of bright blue skies, flowers, butterflies, and cute little animals playing around. But what if I told you that the case is the complete opposite........

The Flashes Messed Up... Again
The third installment of the Flash War gave us some pretty big insight into Barry Allen and Wally West's current relationship, how it's changed from their relationship in the past, and some really surprising information about the Speed Force. If you are a new comic reader and are unfamiliar with some of the information I cover in this post, I will explain all of this information in-depth later on in other posts.

Asia O'Hara: The Next Drag Superstar?
So RuPaul's Drag Race is coming to a close and it's down to the final four (this has been written prior to the finale, just as a heads up). Personally, I fully believe Asia O'Hara should be the next crowned queen. Throughout all of this season, she has been the one that has appeared to be most open-minded and also the one that wants to help the people that seem to be the most hurting.
