Out of 10: 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2'
This sequel to one of the MCU’s most triumphant instalments (doesn’t mean much from me- I rarely score below 9). The titular group flee an Alien race and meet an enigmatic figure from Starlord’s youth. Oh sorry, SPOILERS. I’ll avoid revealing other plot points. The engrossing sense of style the first film offered is effortlessly transposed. Even in Black and white, the aesthetics that initially seem dependant on colour are barely hindered

I'm a Jack
Which character are you? People often say that Buzzfeed has changed the way that we talk about ourselves. It's not true though, we've always identified ourselves through characters in pop culture. For a while, everyone wanted to be a Carrie or Samantha. Then along came Will and Grace and everyone wanted to be a Karen or Will. Myself included. I was convinced that I was a Karen, minus the wealthy husband. With the revival, I discovered that, as everyone has always said, I am a Jack.

Stopping By Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1, Episode 17
The mosquitos have taken over. I repeat the mosquitos have taken over. I am covered head to toe in bug bites (mainly in the toe region) and am plagued by their whizzing whines. But despite their horrid invasion, I am excited. Why?

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 20
Solo: A Star Wars Story arrived in theaters this week and while much of the media has been focused on the film’s box office prospects, the film at the heart of Solo: A Star Wars Story is actually pretty good. Ron Howard may not be a director of much daring but he is a professional and he delivers solid action, a touch of comedy and a group of colorful characters, those we know and those we’re meeting for the first time.

Movie Review: 'Action Point'
In 2015 the American history/comedy podcast The Dollop told the story of New Jersey’s Action Park. Action Park was an amusement park without rules, with few protections and loads of injuries and, much more seriously, several deaths. The park was filled with death trap amusements like a wave pool that could hold over one thousand people and averaged thirty rescues per day among their crew of lifeguards.

One Way Forward
I was in trouble again at school. It wasn't because I hated the school I attended, yet I had trouble managing my impulses. My mom and I were driving to the school in which I had attended this year known as Angel Dragon High School. I wasn't going to school today, for today will be the worst day of my life. It all started over the summer when I was with a girl by the name of Tihara. She was everything to me during this time, not thinking about the bumps in the road that would lead to this endeavor. I was online working on my credit retrieval class and that is where things began to turn sour. I had got word that Tihara had cheated on me and I wanted to do anything to have her back until today. We were together for three long months thinking nothing would ever happen. That was where I was wrong. Today was the district hearing and it was the fate in which will be chosen for me. The school board will determine whether or not I am to stay at Angel Dragon High. I remember being harassed by Tihara's new boyfriend, Jocoby, online and I tried to see if the school could put a stop to it and they couldn't do much about it for they were minors. I had felt that maybe they favored minors over the adults and that it was all a form of attack against me. Then again, did I not realize that threats cause mass panic just like pulling a fire alarm. I did not pull a fire alarm but you get my point. My mom and I pull into the parking lot. I saw the banner outside the main office for the last time as it read: "Home Of The Dragons" I always enjoyed the sight of the banner, for, in a sense, I felt at home. Today was an entirely different story. We enter the main office as I saw the walls painted with dragons of red, green, and blue. The office smelled of fresh paint as it was just renovated over the summer. We were to wait on Mrs. Wolf to speak to us today. I sat next to my mother in the soft brown chairs inside the front office just outside the conference room. The comfort of the chairs did little to hide the pain I felt inside of me. I felt like the world was falling on top of me and that my life was at its end. None would ever understand the pain and depression in which I have been suffering for the past five years. I felt as if none will ever dare want to listen or would even care to. I was not mad at the administration of this school for I knew they had to do their job. My hatred and unforgiveness was set on Jocoby, Tihara, Bailey and anyone else who sided and associated with them in any means. I forgave them the first time, but this time is another story. Following Mrs. Wolf came Officer Huskie, the School Resource Officer, Mr. Ferral, my guidance counselor and my English teacher. I swallowed hard for I felt what the outcome may be. "This does not look good at all. I hope you know that," my mother said as I remained silent. I was in a mix of emotion almost feeling emotionally numb. It was too much to process at once much less to bear. I was called to the conference room for the hearing. My mother and I sat next to each other. During the meeting, I did my best to hold back the tears and It hurt so much from the inside, like I was being stabbed with many knives in my throat. I was questioned on the threats as I explained that I was not thinking and my emotions had exploded elsewhere. I had also explained that I played loads of violent video games and didn't think about how serious this was. I wish I had knew better than I did during this time. I didn't know what to say for I was mixed in a ball of stress, fear, hatred, and depression. I had felt that the world was falling apart before me. Mrs. Wolf left the room for a minute to check on the District's final decision. Mr. Feral had begun to go over my grades and transcript like he knew that the one thing I felt may come to pass. I felt that they did, in a sense, knew how I felt. Mrs. Wolf had re-entered the room with the final verdict as well as some extra papers in hand. The outcome I felt did come to pass. I was indeed expelled from Angel Dragon High.

Bullshit Man Is the Hero We All Need
I was rewatching some old episodes of An Idiot Abroad a while back, which I absolutely love (I know it is old news but that doesn't make it any less hilarious). During this binge, I came across something that I hadn't paid great attention to the first time around.
