10 Best Comedies on Amazon Prime
Comedy is easily the all-time best genre in the world of film. Everyone loves to laugh, who doesn't? These types of movies pulls you away from reality and gets you laughing your stress out. And there are so many awesome comedy films out there that you haven't seen yet. It's also pretty impossible to pick a favorite when there are new and funnier comedies releasing every year.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 8
Nearly 50 movies in 2018 for me. That’s actually less than usual for me in a two month period but let’s not dig too deeply into my sad, lonely life in front of a screen of some sort. This is, after all, a modern project intended to catalog a year in my life as a movie critic. It’s also about how singularly silly it is to rank and compare movies. Each film is subjective and to say that one movie is better than another movie is rather ridiculous in most cases.

Just Grubbin Series: 'Black Panther' Review
I've re-written this review about three times because I'm having so much trouble reviewing the movie while highlighting the socio-cultural context it takes place in. Let me just get this out of the way though; watching Black Panther was the happiest I've ever been watching a movie. As a black man in America, this movie shared with us a view of pan-African futurism I didn't even know I wanted. Black folk living their best lives, unencumbered by the history of oppression and systemic racism and classism the rest of the world has to deal with, Black Panther offers up a post-scarcity techno-utopia that I think is very much within our actual grasp if we could find it within ourselves to actually try for it. It's not without flaws. It's not the best film I've seen. But what it made me feel and let black and brown people the world over experience is something extraordinary.

The Saddest Superhero Origin Stories in Comic Book History
Not all superheroes have the most joyous origins; in fact, most initializing storylines in the superhero genre tend to be pretty dark and desolate, but for good reason. While the hero in question may often find themselves bestowed or gifted with unimaginable strengths and power, these unique qualities typically come with an unruly price. But the origin story of a hero shouldn’t be a diminishing factor for their overall heroics; it’s only intended to shape and mold that character’s being.

What is Wrong With the Academy Awards
My earliest memory of the Academy Awards was in 1970. John Wayne striding up to the stage to accept his award for True Grit. I was ten-years-old and in utter awe. I thought to myself, "Now that's a movie star." He was larger than life, he oozed star power.

Foreign TV Shows
Sometimes you have to take a break from the ordinary, and dive into the different. That is what viewing foreign programming does. When you are sick of the mundane programming on network television, have binged out on Netflix, and grown tired of the free movies on Prime, it's time to take what other countries have to offer seriously.

Top 10 Freeform TV Shows to Watch
‘Stitchers’ Unfortunately, this show just ended, but it has three seasons of action, love, tracking the unconscious, and many more exciting plot twists. It's about a girl who has a particular mind that can go into the consciousness of a dead person. Yea, a dead person. It's called Stitching. She has a team of intelligent individuals that help guide her to understand the working of the mind and know what killed the dead person. There are only three seasons because the viewers for the show kept dwindling, but I'd say it's worth the watch.
