'Tomb Raider' (2018): Why You Should Care!
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has and always will have a soft spot in my heart. Beginning at a young age, the Tomb Raider games were some of my all time favorite adventures. This was before the internet and googling puzzles children, this was a time when you would have to stop, take a break, go out to eat, vacuum, do the dishes, take a nap and right as you woke up your brain would go, "Oh! That's how I do it!" Ah better times, simpler times. But as time went on, so did Lara. With new adventures, new outfits and reboots. The latest 2013 reboot didn't upset though, and fans all over embraced the new story and new adventure of playing as Lara again.

Hugh Jackman Said to be Considering Wolverine Return
Fans of the Hugh Jackman turn as the Wolverine character have seen him appear on screen as the character a total of 9 times so far, and despite the fact that Logan was said to be his final swansong, this may not actually end up being the case, at least that's according to MCU regular, Sebastian Stan.

Review: Darkest Hour
It's not often that we have more than one film that focuses on the same subject that are released so close to each other. June 2017 saw the release of 'Churchill', where the lead character was played very well by Brian Cox. Sadly, there wasn't much else exceptional after that. I think the choice of story was a bad one as it was during the end of World War II, where Churchill was not at his strong point.

Why 'The Good Doctor' Advocates for More Than Mental Health
Many have seen, if not heard of, ABC's new show The Good Doctor, which shares a story about Dr. Shaun Murphy and his journey as a doctor and individual. Dr. Murphy is unique in his own right, having been diagnosed with both Autism—rather, the higher functioning version of Aspergers—and Savant syndrome. Personally, I believe, especially in today's world, that mental health is often spared from many conversations; yet when we stop to reflect, we realize how important our mental health is in order to live a better life. This is definitely a show to help us as a society to get there. The show brings to light common aspects that are often overlooked, such as prejudices, mental health, and themes like honesty, determination to beat criticism, and real-life situations among many others with a bit of comic relief to pacify the mood.

'Star Trek' With Swearing
First thing I have to say: “Charlie Brooker, you let us down! Where was our 2017 wipe?" To get why “USS Callister” was so good (and why Black Mirror goes further to the edge than any TV show in recent years) you have to understand who Charlie Brooker is. He’s not a writer, nor is he a comedian. He’s a commentator. He reviews TV programmes. He makes rude and well observed comments about our world. He has a turn of phrase which swings between cringe-worthy violence and the surreal. For example:

Blood Is Thicker Than Water: Could The DCEU's 'Aquaman' Be Related To Poseidon?. Top Story - January 2018.
Last year brought us the second live-action appearance of the King from (literally) down under, Aquaman. His existence in the DCEU has already been praised by fans, furthering the rapturous acclaim with his "surf board" riding scene in Justice League. Well, even with his brief appearances, we still don't know much about the hero, and could possibly have to wait for his solo film just like Wonder Woman.

Back to the Jungle? Three Possible Directions for Another 'Jumanji' Sequel
When a sequel to the 1995 hit comedy Jumanji was first announced in August, 2015, fans were unimpressed. Many believed that the timing of the announcement was in poor taste, coming close to the first anniversary of the death of Robin Williams, the much loved star of the original film. Though people began to warm to the idea somewhat, they became sceptical once more when it was revealed that the new Jumanji would be an old video game, rather than the board game seen in the first film.

Movie Review: 'The Commuter'
The Commuter is yet another desperately silly effort from Liam Neeson. Once again teaming with director Jaume Collet Serra, Neeson is once again playing an action hero in a desperate situation in which life and death hang in the balance. At this point, a trip to the grocery store could be the premise for a Neeson action hero; it’s not as if he needs anything more than a place, a gun and an elaborate idiot plot for his Mad Libs take on the action genre.

Movie Review: 'Proud Mary'
Proud Mary has the ambition and the movie star to become a franchise. The question it leaves behind, however, is whether or not the people behind it have the talent and investment to make it something more than just a stock action movie. For my money, other than star Taraji P. Henson, Proud Mary comes up quite short. Other than the star, there is nothing memorable or particularly special about Proud Mary.
