If RDJ Leaves the Suit Behind: 10 Actors Who Could Play Iron Man
There have been rumors of Robert Downey Jr. leaving his role of Iron Man after the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, and because of this I thought I would list some actors who could take up the mantle. While some people always say that no one could play Iron Man as good as RDJ, I would like to prove those people wrong. It's been said that Marvel has had so much success only because of Jr.'s casting as Iron Man, so could there be anyone that would have that same effect? Well, I can suggest 10 people, and I'll let you decide.

Top 50 Badasses From Pop Culture Today
With the evolution of our culture, it seems that one thing remains constant: people love badasses. I'm talking about your Walker Texas Rangers, your Terminators, your Rambos, everyone who can do awesome stuff that we can't. There's an appeal to these characters, and in some cases real people, that we just can't resist. With a lot of the go-to badasses out of the game, I thought I would make a list of the the ones from today's pop culture. So let's begin on our journey of exploring the badasses from relevant movies, recent TV shows, video games, and of course, real life. (P.S. These are in no ranking order due to the number the character is on, they are just simply listed. Also, if there have been different portrayals of a character i.e. Batman or Constantine, then I am referring to the portrayal I pictured, or the character that we know in today's pop culture, not for instance Adam West's Batman).

How Movies Went from My Weekend Activity to My Passion
When I was young, it was Billy Madison and The Waterboy, raunchy comedies. As I got older, it became The Princess Bride and the James Bond franchise. Now, they may not all be profound, critically-acclaimed films, but they hold a significant amount of sentimental value for me. My father and I always found a connection through film and other forms of entertainment. One of my earliest memories of us is watching Wizard of Oz over and over again when I was fouruntil I sporadically developed a deathly fear of the Wicked Witch of the West. To this day, I feel a cool wind flow down my spine when I think of unflattering chin moles and that sharp, shrill laugh. Even when he became estranged in my life, we still made time to go see the matinee screenings (“Because tickets are two dollars cheaper then, Giselle! That’s why. Alsobecause I said so.”) of the latest blockbusters. Despite the problematic aspects of who my father is, he introduced me to the wonderful world of Quentin Tarantino films, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Michael Keaton
With the success of Spider-man Homecoming, it’s hard to think that it was all down to Tom Holland's performance as Peter Parker / Spider-Man. For me, Michael Keaton stole the movie. He was terrifying as Adrian Toomes / Vulture but let's look back at some of his classics.

Zombie Survival
So there has been nothing but an increase in the belief that a zombie or zombie-like apocalypse is plausible, or even inevitable. Regardless of the "type" of zombies (which we will discuss in another story), there seems to be a similarity in what would be required in surviving such a disaster. Let us explore and discuss some of these absolutely required traits human beings would need to attain to ensure survival.

The Top 10 Worst Movies of 2017
I realize that I should probably wait until I see Father Figures before I make my worst of year list (have you seen that trailer? Gah!), but I am going to take the risk. The 10 movies on this list set a very high bar for terrible that I feel good that nothing I see this year could possibly approach how awful these 10 movies are. This year I have seen two movies that are among the most inept, unwatchable movies that I have seen in nearly 20 years as a movie critic.

Ever since the release of Monsters, Inc., Pixar theorists have wondered who the monsters are of other children in the Pixar universe. Riley from Inside Out, Bonnie from Toy Story 3, and although there are theories for the monsters of those characters, this theory is about the monster of Andy from Toy Story.
