Suicide Clown
To begin with the story of my first ever movie mashing experience (yes, it is based on a true story!), I think every Media Arts devotee would get to the bottom of what it's like to be entangled in the thought of how unsightly the Photoshop fonts truly are! I mean, I understand I may offend a few, but in this Grade 11 project of mine, all I really used was fonts for the movie title, end credits, etc. as you can clearly see. I had to stumble all the way to DaFont where I found out that I couldn't download the fonts, then to Font Space and be an illegal twit!

The Supergirl Serum: Part 2
Upon arriving in Canada, the trio was met by the US ambassador and the platoon of soldiers escorting him. The ambassador told them how “Fear Mongers” came out of nowhere and started shooting at the guards. Some rounds exploded on contact, others barely penetrated them and must’ve released some kind of toxin into their bodies. They killed the last security guard with a rocket launcher. Lastly, they shot out the security cameras.

Movie Review: 'Just Charlie'
Just Charlie left me an emotional mess. This story about a boy realizing that he is a girl is one of the most emotional experiences that I have had watching a movie. I like to believe that I am an ally to people like Charlie and most certainly am in my heart. Just Charlie, however, reminded me that I have so much to learn and to understand about the experience of someone who is struggling to be whom they really are.

'Logan' Proves That Superhero Movies Have Yet to Solve Their Villain Problem
*Spoilers Ahead* Let's get one thing out of the way up front; I loved Logan. Easily the best superhero movie of the last few years, as it used its R-rating smartly to deliver what I consider to be the quintessential superhero experience. Its ability to tackle a familiar character in a new way without the restrictions of a PG-13 rating ensured that audiences would receive a genuine and authentic Wolverine-focused movie that wouldn't shy away from the hero's darker side. While 2015's Deadpool showed that adult audiences were ready to support an R-rated superhero film, its use of humor and being an easily accessible protagonist made it an easy sell to the masses. Logan doesn’t have that working in its favor, as Wolverine's character has a slightly more complicated history, as well as being a drama, which can be a hard sell for those on the fence about superhero movies. Fortunately, Logan proved that you could tell meaningful stories within the medium of superhero movies, and while I applaud it for this accomplishment, Logan shows that the medium still has to improve on core aspects of itself.

'Before I Wake'
Okay. Where to begin? I suppose at the beginning. In its entirety, this movie seems to hold to the traditional late 20th and early 21st century cinematic values of taking what should have been a good film based on a solid concept and utterly ruining it with shitty writing, shitty acting, shitty directing, and shitty editing. Production values are pretty decent and the special effects are similarly decent.

The 'Rocky' Saga: An Appreciation
1976. I went alone, and I’m glad I did. Actually, I snuck into my local multiplex. The audience was standing during that climactic fight - no hyperbole - and pounding their fists into the air. World Heavyweight Champ Apollo Creed was knocked down for the first time in his career, though he didn’t “look the best he’s ever been,” according to one of the ring announcers.

Iron Man
A lot of people know about a comic book character called Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. Ever since he kicked off the MCU in 2008, the character has kicked off with a new breath of popularity. Robert Downey Jr.’s done a brilliant job in bringing this character to life. Now. I’ve watched an in-depth analysis of Captain America’s character’s development, done by the brilliant YouTuber Tyler Mowery.

'Game of Thrones' Fan Theory
As a long time Game of Thrones fan, I’ve had a prediction from pretty early on in the show: Jon Snow will kill Daenerys Targaryen. My reasoning used to be pretty simple. I believe characters in Game of Thrones are based off of history. I think Cersei is Catherine De Medici, Daenerys is Mary, Queen of Scots, and Jon Snow is Elizabeth I.
