The Bloody Dozen
Everybody knows Quentin Tarantino has written and directed some of the best films in cinema history: from Pulp Fiction (1994) to The Hateful Eight (2015) and many in between. His films are instantly iconic with their memorable monologues and likeable villains. Tarantino is, without doubt, an auteur through and through, a director who knows how to construct a scene that will stay with you forever.

Jacoby (Jack Frost)
Jacoby is the one friend that has been with me since September of 2017, when things, I thought, were turning great for me in college. As it turns out, I had been cutting myself, trying to commit suicide once again. When I met Jacoby, he was very handsome and kind. But when I video chatted with him in November, I was completely nervous to talk to him. I was just thinking to myself: This is Jacoby (Frostplay on YouTube), one of the best cosplayers in the world. We both video chatted and I thought we had hit it off. As great friends, of course. Soon he called me some cute little nicknames like doll, baby doll, and/or silly girl. It may have sounded like unintentional flirting, but in reality, he was just calling me small nicknames. Not only that, but my Instagram name is WinterBabyDoll0018. He was the only person I ever had who made me feel the way every girl wanted to be; cared about and loved by another person. It didn't have to be in a relationship in order for guys to talk to you or be around you in the way Jacoby was around me. He meant the whole world to me. That was when, in December, I wanted to tell him that I loved him. I fell in love with a nice, kind, generous, and fun guy. I thought to myself that I may never find that perfect guy ever again. I have had so many opportunities to tell him how I feel. He made me feel like I really was beautiful, gorgeous, or... just being human. He made me feel I was meant to exist. I had fallen in love with my best friend.

'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Episode 6, "Blood of My Blood"
Review: After the heartbreaking “hold the door” situation, in a last ditch effort, Meera is dragging Bran through the snow while the wights fiendishly pursue them. As it looks more and more like a one legged man trying to win an ass kicking contest, alas, someone does eventually come to their rescue, riding horseback and wielding a strange fiery whip of chain, no less. Ghost Rider, is that you? The whole time Bran is still warged out of his mind, doing his third eye routine. The Horseman makes short work of the skelly-looking wights, and begins with the pleasantries. The show makes no bones about keeping his identity a mystery and reveals the man as Benjen Stark, a.k.a. Bran’s long lost uncle of sorts. Well, he hasn’t been lost too too long. At least, not as long lost Uncle Gerion.

Batwoman!
For many a superhero fan, there are a plethora of choices for your own personal favourite, be it The Flash, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, or anyone else from the DC/Marvel universe (not to mention other companies). As a woman, it was always going to be an easy thing to find yourself identifying on a level with the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, or even Hawk-girl. However, if you chose to identify with a secondary (no less important), female character, there were few people you could pick without bumping into a character mainly shown as a male hero's romantic interest.

'The Florida Project'
I was on board with The Florida Project the moment I saw the poster. I mean, look at it. It looks like childhood joy mixed with every warm memory of summer anyone has ever had distilled into a poster.

Queer Celluloid Necrology
As a queer person, I have always had to dig for representation. In fact, queer representation in films and television shows helped me, as a kid, figure out important aspects of my identity. Without seeing characters like me on the screen, it would have taken me a lot longer to sort through these confusing feelings I had about myself.

Why Disney’s Acquisition of 20th Century Fox Is Great News for Marvel Fans
In December last year, Disney confirmed that they would be acquiring the majority of 20th Century Fox's assets in a deal worth $52 billion. This is good news for Marvel fans because Marvel films are distributed by Disney and 'X-Men' films are distributed by 20th Century Fox. For the first time, the Marvel comics film rights will all be under the same roof. This means that we might get X-Men and Marvel superhero crossovers. They will all share the same universe. Previously, these crossovers only happened in the comic books because Disney didn't have the rights to the 'X-Men' characters.

How Donald Glover Took Over the World. Top Story - February 2018.
To the untrained eye, Donald Glover's recent success seems to have come out of nowhere. However, when you take a second to look into his history, Donald's success is not only well-deserved, but it had to happen.

It is based on true events of Jordan Belfort (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio) and is a black comedy, directed by Martin Scorsese, about yuppies lifestyles and Belfort’s career in the stock markets. The only women the audience view in his life are his first wife, Teresa (portrayed by Cristin Milioti), the many sex workers, and his second wife Naomi (portrayed by Margot Robbie).

Review: 'Roman J. Israel, Esq.'
When I heard about this and saw the trailer, everything about it had a 'true-story' feel to it, and yet it actually isn't. This is an original piece of work from Dan Gilroy, who debuted as a director with the highly entertaining Nightcrawler a few years ago.

Ranking the Movies of 2018 Week 4
Another week and another new number one movie of the year for my list of every movie I have seen in 2018. I wasn’t surprised this time, however, as Phantom Thread was among the most anticipated movies of the Oscar season. As much as I was deeply moved by last week’s number one movie, Just Charlie, Phantom Thread is a surpassing work of art from one of the finest filmmakers working today.
