8 Life Lessons We Learned from Donnie Darko
Richard Kelly's movie Donnie Darko left me bedazzled (but slightly confused) as a kid, and it does the same to me now. In celebration for the movie's 14th 'birthday' on October 26th, I re-watched the whole film twice - including the director's cuts.

'The Shape of Water': A Masterpiece in Filmmaking on the Surface—but Don't Look Too Deep Below
For years, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has been sharing with us his deepest, darkest fears and phobias, turning them into cinematic gems, like The Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labyrinth. His latest celluloid therapy session, The Shape of Water, continues the formula, only this time the premise is based on the filmmaker's fantasies instead of his fears.

Why 'My Hero Academia' Scares Me
I think we can all agree on the fact that superheroes and the superhero genre is the most marketable form of entertainment in the world right now. We've got movies which, when combined together, weave cinematic universes, which spawn numerous spin-off series (TV shows and movies alike), which in turn give rise to video games and toys, among other forms of merchandise. As of late, however, the trend has gone on to dominate another emerging form of entertainment. I am of course, talking about anime, and the amazing series that is My Hero Academia.

Movie (Conspiracy) Theory!
Welcome to Movie (Conspiracy) Theory! This is exactly what you might be thinking it is- a far out, far-fetched theory based upon minute evidence- left either purposefully or coincidentally by those who make the movies. The name is Will, and I'm more than happy to lead you through the web of intrigue left behind....

Bruce Lee
This man right here would fight you and kill you in a heartbeat. He can break your neck and hit you so fast that you didn't see his hand or foot coming towards you. Before Bruce Lee was one of the top martial arts fighters in the world, he was born Lee Jun Fan on November 27, 1940 in San Francisco, California. His father was Hong Kong opera singer Lee Hoi Chuen and his mother was Grace Ho. Bruce Lee received the name "Bruce" from a nurse from the hospital. While he was in school, his parents never used the name.

How 'Coco' Fits Into the Pixar Theory
How does Coco fit into the Pixar Theory? Last month, I wrote an article about the Pixar Theory, a theory created by Jon Negroni that states that all Pixar films take place in the same universe, as part of a very long story arc that is released out of chronological order.

'The End of the F***ing World'
WARNING!: SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD AHEAD!" When it's really cold out, I tend to never leave my house. When I never leave my house, I get bored pretty quickly. So, while browsing on my phone for a bit, I found an advertisement for a show on Netflix called The End of the F***ing World. No joke, that's actually the title. I was pretty intrigued, mostly because the advertisements looked pretty funny.

Think Before You Post Online
YouTube was created in February of 2005. Back then, it was the place where people could upload short, little videos of people being silly, or singing, and everything in between. Since it's creation, YouTube has evolved into something much bigger.

Book Review: 'Children of Exile'
I've read and enjoyed other books written by M. Haddix; it wasn't too hard to be cohered into picking this one up. Not surprisingly, the writing lured me in, just from the first few pages turned. Set in a place called "Fredtown," the story opens meeting a group of children fostered by parents called "Freds." OK, "Freds" were a strange concept, I already felt a sense of mystery and a desire brewing to know what the heck was going on here. ALL foster parents are called Freds, really? Then, when the town they lived in was called "Fredtown," I thought the whole story was extremely puzzling, maybe even a bit over the top. What is going on here?
