The Artistic Creation of Life
The art of creating characters is a representation on reality. In other words, characters in books and films do not actually exist. However, a good creation of a character causes the audience to temporarily forget that the character is only an artistic creation. In order to create a character, the artist needs to give it life. This illusion of life includes, motion, imagery and emotions. This can be done by giving the characters animation and personification. What is the difference between the two? Do the characters need to be both personified and animated? In the picture book The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss and in the film Pinocchio by Walt Disney productions, there exists both animation and personification. To clarify, animation is the artistic creation of life and movement. Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to something non-human.

10 Amazing Non-DC or Marvel Superhero Movies
While DC and Marvel are currently the kings of the superhero genre, they aren't the only ones to take a crack at the crime-fighting heroes we know and love from their various comic iterations. None of these did as well at the box office as something like Guardians of the Galaxy or Wonder Woman, possibly the highest grossing origin film of all time, but they all have their place in our hearts, and some of them have even become cult classics. A lot of these films are going to be from the 90s and early 2000s era, since that's a bit before Marvel and DC really started to overtake the genre. That makes them all the more charming, and if you haven't seen any of these non-DC or Marvel superhero movies yet, grab your popcorn and give yourself a night.

Alex Jones: Greatest Comedian of Our Generation
"Loud, rude, obnoxious, abusive, terrorist, insane..." These are the words people use to describe Alex Jones: the Greatest comedian of our generation. What makes Alex Jones's brand of comedy so hilarious is the ridiculous claims he makes on his hit comedy show, InfoWars. The radio show premise is about Alex Jones, “a unique voice that sifts through the information and exposes the underlying intentions.” Truly gospel for those looking for the greatest of laughs.

'Love, Simon'
I am so proud of what this film accomplished. It was brave and, in moments, raw. It represented a variety of groups and struggles within the gay community, in much the same way Black Panther did for African American culture.

Movie Review: 'The Miracle Season'
Caroline "Line" Found was a young force of nature in her too short 17 years. When she was killed in an accident, it left her small community in Iowa City, Iowa, devastated, especially the members of her championship volleyball team. Nineteen-year-old Danika Yarosh gives us a wonderful sense of this inspiring young lady in a very brief amount of screen time. So good is Yarosh that I never minded the pushy emotionalism of The Miracle Season.

Hey 'Parks and Rec,' What Ever Happened to Mark Brendanawicz?
For those who don't know (or sadly forgot), Mark was a city planner in Pawnee and one of the main characters in the hit comedy Parks and Recreation. After season two, Mark left town to take another job, earning him the nickname Mark "Brendana-quits." Since his departure, the character was not seen or heard from again. The other characters on the show don't mention him, even in the series finale. It's like he was erased from existence. Why is that? Could such a major mistake have been rectified?

The Legend of Zelda: Zach's Quest
The Legend of Zelda series is one of the most popular, loved and influential video game series on this planet. So many kids of the 80's, 90's and the 2000's have grown up with these games and the adventures that Link and Zelda get themselves into. This series means an immense amount to a lot of people and honestly, I feel that The Legend of Zelda series means more to me than it does to anybody else on this Earth.

Remember That Time Bryan Singer Made That Movie Where Ian McKellen Played an Ex-Nazi Named Kurt?
No, I haven't been drinking. That much. And I promise I'm not confused and mixing up different movies! The movie I speak of is Apt Pupil, starring Ian McKellen as a Nazi war criminal, and Brad Renfro as the high school student who discovers his secret.
