Heist Society: It'll Steal Your Bookworm Needs Away
First let me start off by explaining how Ally Carter is forever a favorite author of mine. I have loved all her series no matter when I've read them. Unfortunately, when I first picked up Heist Society in high school, I couldn't get into it. It killed me I wasn't sucked into Carter's book.

"The Night's Eye" Review — An Inkitt Story
Recently I've been invested into reading free, new, possibly not yet published novels on Inkitt.com. As I mentioned in the last post, I submitted my own novel there, so while doing that I stopped and found some books to read too. One of these was the chilling, twisted thriller, The Night's Eye by JA Hamilton.

Top 7 TV Dads
I hope you enjoyed my piece on TV Moms because now it's TV Dads' turn to take the spotlight! Along with the iconic TV mothers we all know and love, more than likely they have a male counterpart (unless they're single mothers). As much as mothers shape our lives, fathers are just as important. Fathers are there to love, protect and teach the children the way in terms of what they want for them. For us daughters, our fathers are our first love because they are literally the first man to ever love us. And for sons fathers are their role models, their first teacher in everything.

Disney Essay
Not surprisingly, many Disney movies follow a tradition of supernatural entities, wishes, and dreams or a combination of all three. After Walt Disney’s first movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney moved from the original conformity of witchcraft equates to evil and twisted that concept into something, unknown to him, legendary, symbolic, a logo, and precedent of Disney movies to come. Residing in this essay, the movies are split into three categories: First Generation Disney (1939-1966) refers to the movies that came out in Disney’s time; Second Generation (1966-2008) refers to the Disney Corporation; and Third Generation (2008-present) are the Pixar and Disney collaborations. Despite the eighty-year gap of animated Disney movies, all the animations encompass society’s worst points and are used as examples of how to surpass the factors that stifle childhood imagination and creativity.

Animals Rising
Between the impacts of climate change and humankind’s more conscious efforts to destroy wild habitats, it’s easy to view the natural world as being widely under siege and in retreat. Two recent films show how, pushed to the brink, the animal world might someday choose to strike back. Both are revenge fantasies in which cold-blooded humans are forced to pay the price for their speciesism — the term that philosopher and animals’ rights activist Peter Singer coined more than 40 years ago — and outright brutality. That both are from Eastern Europe is probably coincidental, as the sensibilities of the films are completely different.

Movie Review: 'Thor: Ragnorak'
Thor: Ragnorak is a heck of a lot of fun. Director Taika Waititi is the first director to fully tap the potential of the Thor character and star Chris Hemsworth. Though we’re aware from The Avengers’ movies that Hemsworth is a real talent, he’s not had a solo, leading man effort that has lived up to the outings of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man or Chris Evans as Captain America. Even Tom Holland had schooled Hemsworth by making his Spiderman: Homecoming this past summer one of the best reviewed and well-loved movies in the Marvel canon.

'Transformers: The Last Knight:' Another Disappointing Installment of the Franchise
You'd think that after the third installment of a film franchise that if the general reception of the film starts to decline that the studio would decide to just leave it at that. But if the franchise is still turning a profit no matter how badly it is received by critics and viewers, why should they stop producing films that are continuing to make the studio millions of dollars?

When the trailer first hit for the third in the Thor trilogy, the internet was set alight with excitement and anticipation. Taking potential cues from Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor's moved into a more light-hearted and cosmic setting for what will likely be his final solo outing.

Life Isn't So Bad Compared To Those On 'Shameless'
First of all let me state that I really didn't think I was going to like this show based off what I knew, which was that it was about a deadbeat, alcoholic father with a bunch of kids and that was it. I finally gave it a chance and it took watching the first two episodes and one shocking scene that got me hooked. I have now spent the past two weeks watching Shameless every day after I get home from work.
