'Infinity War': Who Will Die!!
INFINITY WAR!!!! This movie will be released in my local cinema on the 26th of April this year, and you can be assured I will be going to see it. The end of an era that has been building and building from the original Iron Man film that aired in 2008. I, with many other marvel fans have been waiting ten years to see the climax of the marvel cinematic universe phase three. The time has come for the big purple dude to come in to the universe as more than a side villain and wreak havoc on the world. Our beloved avengers must team up with Spiderman, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to save the world. But the Mad Titan will not be defeated easily, he will take some of our heroes with him (if he is even defeated that is!).

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 10
On the latest Everyone’s a Critic Movie Podcast myself and co-hosts Bob Zerull and Josh Adams tackled nostalgia. We were discussing this week’s classic, Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of mine and Josh’s favorite movies. Watching Indiana Jones raises so many emotions for me but the main one is nostalgia and nostalgia is kind of funny. When you come to associate something with a time in your life, happy or sad, nostalgia tends to gloss over portions of actual history.

'Love, Simon'
So I’m sure everyone that is connected to social media or goes to the movies knows about this movie. When the trailers started to release people were very excited to see a major network like 20th Century Fox make a movie about a gay kid in high school. And I think some people might have been a little worried at first, that it wouldn’t represent people of the LGBT+ community correctly, or that it would end on something tragic. Because that’s what we’ve all seen for a very long time with most movies or TV shows with an LGBT character. I’m only 20 years old and even when I was in high school, which wasn’t that long ago, there really weren't too many stories about LGBT people that ended well or were properly represented, and not just like the stereotypes of LGBT people.

The Best Movies You've Never Heard of... and They're All on Netflix
If you are living in the 21st century and own a television, you probably have a Netflix account. Most Netflix accounts are used for binging a TV show when the weather is bad or maybe watching an occasional movie. The remaining time on Netflix is spent searching. You fumble through category after category of movies attempting to pick one you haven't seen. Maybe you're successful or maybe you just give up and resort back to a classic or an old favorite. Luckily for you, I am not a huge fan of watching the same movies over and over again so I have discovered some hidden gems you might not know of that Netflix has to offer.

Review: 'Mary Magdalene'
Even though I'm not a religious person, I am always intrigued with films about it. I love the biblical epics of the golden era such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. Major studios heavily invested in those stories back in the day, and they certainly did not spare any expense in every department.

Dawson's Geek: 13 Reasons Why Rosario Dawson Is Queen of The Nerdiverse
In a shade-filled tweet by a fan that promptly went viral in the fall of 2017, Rosario Dawson's Marvel TV character Claire Temple is referred to lovingly as one of "the four Defenders." And it's a positioning that's well deserved. (Sorry, Iron Fist.)

'Doctor Strange 2' Might Not Be Happening
We've all seen the latest Infinity War trailer, which shows an ominous picture of the Sorcerer Supreme in some very serious trouble. While I, like most fans, suspected this to be just a tease and there's no way they would kill off such a character so soon after their initial introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Benedict Cumberbatch, there may not necessarily be a Doctor Strange sequel in the near future.

James Patterson Is the Worst
The internet reminded me the other day that Jim Carrey paints now, which then brought me to Wikipedia so I could remember what he did before he was a famous artiste. Anyway, totally forgot he was in that Fun with Dick and Jane remake of which I also forgot Angie Harmon was in. I was then casually reading Angie Harmon’s page and saw she was in that Woman’s Murder Club TV series ten years ago. And when I clicked on THAT page, I was met with this obtrusive, repulsive statement:
