The Five Weirdest Things I've Watched on Netflix So Far
So you've probably have been binge watching Netflix and I can't blame you; I'll watch almost anything suggested to me, but there are definitely some shows and movies that take the cake. One time I watched the entire Bee Movie with my friend and at first it was just a joke but for some reason I just can't stop watching it when it comes on. Other than my strange watch history, let me name the five strangest things I've seen so far. Trust me, they are worth the watch.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: How it Works
Someone was asking me how I rank the movies for my "Ranking the Movies" of 2018 column. First and foremost, I recognize the futility and downright silliness of ranking movies. Subjectivity is deeply embedded in this column, it’s not meant to be scholarly, and it’s intended for entertainment and as an excuse for me to share my thoughts on a bunch of movies all at once.

The Writers of 'The Conjuring' Are Taking on the 'Die Hard' Prequel Script
The Die Hard prequel is well underway and has just acquired a horrifyingly good team to take on the script. Yes, there are mixed opinions about this venture but one can’t deny that a story following the exploits of a young and gung-ho John McClane does sounds pretty cool.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 12
Another week, and another reckoning with nostalgia via the work of Steven Speilberg. In week ten of this rankings column, I wrote about Indiana Jones and how my feelings about the film have evolved over the years. I still love Indiana Jones, but not in the reverent way I did when I was a child. Ready Player One revived this debate in my mind over how our culture_specifically Hollywood—recycles our memories into nostalgia and markets them back to us.

The Sixth Wife
Katherine Parr had been a widow three times, and this book is written in the point of view of the Queen Dowager's best friend, Catherine, the Duchess Of Suffolk. Katherine Parr is an unusual subject for a novel and the famous rhyme about the fate of Henry's wives ends with her. Katherine is known as the survivor because she outlived Henry, but the marriage was not scandal-free. She was almost executed for heresy.

10 Movie Posters with Overly Photoshopped Actresses
The photoshops these days are getting more and more ridiculous. At first, it all started from photoshopping models in ads to make them appear slimmer with the perfect facial structure. They wanted to create the perfect figures and so many women would yearn to have an appearance like those. And the sad part is that the majority of the models never looked like themselves in any of the ads and photoshoots. Because they would be photoshopped to look perfect! To this day I still question why photoshop exists and why its used to "correct" a nose, waist, lips, and everything else.

The Phantom of the Opera
Introduction The Phantom Of The Opera is a story that has been retold many times since it was first published over a century ago by the French writer, Gaston Leroux. It's been the base of countless films, plays and musicals. The most famous being the west-end musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The musical remains one of the most popular musicals in the world. The novel where everything starts off is just as worthy in my opinion.

Movie Heroes Who Killed Innocent People
What so many people liked about Obama was that he was a cool guy with reasonable ideas. He liked Kendrick Lamar, had sensible policies, and made us feel re-assured when we were faced with tragedy. But he also had the blood of civilian life on his hands. It was a responsibility Obama took very seriously.

'A Simple Story' by Elizabeth Inchbald
Introduction A Simple Story isn't a very good title in my opinion. Why title your story a simple story when readers can read tales of adventure or about specific characters? To my surprise, I actually enjoyed the book. This review will aim to be spoiler free.
