The Marvel Comics Universe is one of the largest, most expansive fictional worlds ever to be created—and it's full of amazing stories and rich characters. That's why we love Marvel comics, and why so many people rave about Guardians of the Galaxy.

'The Shape of Water:' What's the Big Fuss?
The Shape of Water was hyped to be one of the best films of 2017, being nominated for several awards and coming from acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro. While I am usually a fan of the dark, mysterious, and fairytale-esque worlds he creates, this one for me fell drastically short of expectations. Despite a fantastic cast, director, producer, and writer, The Shape of Water is a completely forgettable experience.

Iconic Movie Moments You Will Not Believe Were Improvised
Planning is everything. Scripts are almost scientific in their creation. They are written in a very specific way that is designed to steers the audience’ journey through the narrative and through the varying desired emotional states.

The Guillermo Del Toro (R)evolution
Thirteen Academy Award nominations. That’s how many nominations the film The Shape Of Water has received. Three of those nominations are best original screenplay, best director and best picture of the year. These three nominations have the name Guillermo Del Toro attached to them. As good as the film is, what stands out even more to me is the fact that in the age of #OscarsSoWhite, in the age of the Trump regime, and in the overall state of open and institutionalized racism towards anyone who isn’t white, there has been one constant that has persevered; the success of Mexican filmmakers, particularly at the Academy Awards.

Disney Movies
When you first walk into a Disney park, one of the first things you see is The Castle. Feelings of excitement, hope, magic, possibility, and pure happiness sprout up, and some people start crying, others laughing, and others shouting for joy. All these feelings are not from The Castle itself, but rather, the memories we associate with it. Typically memories associated with childhood.

Save Me In Time
As the cool heat of the liquid hit my lips, I replay events that continuously flash through my mind. My body barely ached, as a matter of fact, it never does. But I’m constantly putting it through the ringer day in and day out, giving myself this impression that I’m never truly present, a notion that leaves me feeling like I’m always on the run, always on the move. I get so mentally exhausted and run down by these thoughts. But I know it’s no use feeling this way, especially when I’m the only one in my city who can save it. Slamming a guy here, choking another guy there, throwing a car half a football field away from a small child. All of this to just hide away when it’s all over. I whine incessantly, but I know this is the way it has to be. The safest way is for me to coexist with the people who don’t know me, because I’ve seen what happens to those who save others. The one time you let them down they never forget it, and they never forget you for it. It turns into a love-hate relationship, and not one that is back and forth, no. It’s one where half of them love you, and understand, but the other half? You can never make things right again. Never.

A Drama That Defines All Kinds of Sentiment
The name itself gives us an insight of the heartwarming series which is a family drama packed full of emotions. It starts off by showing a fact that, “According to Wikipedia, the average human being shares his or her birthday with over 18 million other human beings. There is no evidence that sharing the same birthday creates any type of behavioural link between these people. If there is, Wikipedia hasn’t discovered it for us yet.” This line sparks an interest within to how the story might be linked to the fact. We get introduced to the different characters celebrating the same birthday.
