The Best Movie You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
Do you ever scroll through Netflix, desperate for a movie that looks good but you have already seen everything good, and everything you have not seen yet looks a little weird? We have all been there. A bunch of times. When I was in that spot one time about two years ago, I decided that I should pick something where the cover looked a bit strange; something that I would not typically gravitate towards. And that is how I came across one of my favorite movies, Comet. Comet is a romantic dramedy that first premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Comet features Emmy Rossum and Justin Long, who also helped produced the film. You may know Emmy Rossum from the Showtime show, Shameless, and Justin Long from the 2004 movie, Dodgeball. The film was written and directed by Sam Esmail, the creator of the hit television show Mr. Robot.

Movie Review: 'Daddy's Home 2'
I can’t feel bad for the makers of Daddy’s Home 2; the movie is too poorly made for me to feel bad for anyone involved, aside from the poor children who didn’t know any better. That said, there is part of me that sort of tilts my head to the side and thinks “awe, that’s a shame.”Daddy’s Home 2 has unfortunate timing, arriving as it does with its wildly awkward take on masculine identity, and with Mel Gibson in tow, Daddy’s Home 2 is like the guy who arrives at a party late, unaware that things have gotten awkward, and proceeds to make things even more cringeworthy through their ignorance.

Kevin Feige Clears Up Those Hulk Trilogy Rumors
After sitting out the mini Avengers assembly that was Captain America: Civil War, who isn't glad to see Thor and the Incredible Hulk back on our screens for the God of Thunder's third solo outing? As the mean, green, fighting machine takes on Chris Hemsworth's golden-haired hero in the arena of the Grandmaster, it will likely remind fans of just how great Dr. Bruce Banner's alter ego really is. So, with recent rumors of a Hulk trilogy arc coming our way, will the MCU make good on its promise?

Craziest Netflix Movies That Mess With Your Head
If you ask me, one of the biggest problems with mainstream Hollywood movies is that they rarely make you think. Most movies are visually stunning, superficial, and "feel good" trips that never really make the audience pause, and actually absorb what they're seeing.

Review: 'Surburbicon'
I love films. I love sitting down to make a night of watching a movie; leaving everything else at the door and getting lost in narrative for 90 minutes is my kind of bliss. Often I’ll go with a friend so there’s someone who just experienced what I did and who is able to discuss, analyse, and review it with me, but the majority of the time I’ll go alone then pass my thoughts onto others before the drive home.

'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
There are times when we all think "can’t we have this one good thing." What this "thing" is differs from person to person, and more often than not you will find yourself second-guessing why it isn’t a "good thing." Chances are, it’s because that good thing is deeply flawed, and said flaws need to be called out.

Oh, For The Love of Cosplay!
So for the last few years, I have been a member of the board of directors for the cosplay event company N.E.C.C. Events. Now I bet some of you are going "Oh, that's cool! You must have been super popular!" The truth of it is no, no I was not popular. Believe it or not, myself and the rest of us on staff were not only referred to as gods but also "Scary" people. Keep in mind that I'm 5'4", chubby, and look no different than the rest of the cosplayers 90 percent of the time.
