Twin Peaks Revisited: Technological Magick
Thematically Twin Peaks is interested in exploring profound truths behind the nature of our existence, and perhaps none more curiously than the role of electricity in our world. In a broad sense electricity is mostly thought of in our time as an energy source, one that powers virtually all modern technology, from lighting and heating our homes to powering every kind of information sharing device, from TV to radio to computers. You only need to spend a few hours in a house or office during a power cut to realise just how reliant on electricity our current society & culture is.

'Transformers: The Last Knight'
Transformers 5 had an odd whole to fill. Age of Extinction was arguably the worst movie by far (but still good). Last Knight is just as long I think and features tons of locations and, of course, special effects. Mark Walberg returns for a main human role as Craig Yaeger, but he’s far more important to the story this time.

Things Get Weird in 'Voltron's' Fifth Season
I can still remember the first time I saw Voltron. We had just gotten cable and I finally had access to Cartoon Network. This was a big deal to a 7-year-old. It was the first channel I put on after my dad told me the cable was working. It was one of the more influential moments of my childhood as I turned it on just as Toonami was starting. Children of the 90s will remember the cartoon block that dominated afterschool programming and I was no different. Voltron came on after Thundercats, another great animated show that might work well with a reboot (i know this was tried once before but maybe Netflix can do it right). Voltron was great. Five lions came together to fight giant alien robots. It made zero sense, but I was hooked. Also, when I was seven I didn’t notice that every episode was pretty much the same.

Movie Review: 'Gringo'
Harold (David Oyelowo) hasn’t had things easy in his relatively young life. Despite his pretty wife and his mid-level corporate stooge job, he’s been stepped on every step of the way for being the kind of nice guy chump that people take advantage of. He’s the perfect best friend for Richard (Joel Edgerton), a cocky, sleazy corporate raider in need of a yes man like Harold who’s easily manipulated.

The Road Leading Up to 'Avengers: Infinity War'
I saw something on Twitter telling me that if I started watching one MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie a week, starting January, I would be done in time for Avengers: Infinity War. Now, I have been doing this but I decided to go through all the films, having a look back at what makes them great and what doesn't.

Do You See What I See: Symbolism in Literature
Every story has a theme. That theme could be love, hate, peace war… the possibilities are endless. It all depends on what the author is trying to convey. Even Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs & Ham, a children's book my 19-year-old daughter can recite in its entirety, has a theme (in case you're wondering, that theme is to try something new before you say you don't like it). While the casual reader may not sit down and analyze the novel they are reading, subconsciously they are recognizing the theme of the story.

Movie Review: 'A Wrinkle in Time'
A Wrinkle in Time is a genuine delight. Wonderful characters, genuine laughs, and gorgeous visuals make for one of the best family adventures in a very long time. Director Ava DuVernay has taken the beloved bestselling book by Madeleine L’Engle and crafted a genuine blockbuster that retains the inspiring heart of its beloved source material. DuVernay has also discovered a brand new movie star in young Storm Reid.
