In Defense of 'Will and Grace'
Will and Grace is back ya'll! In case you haven't heard. It's back and funnier than ever. Or at least that's what I thought. Whenever it's on or when I admittedly re-watch the episodes on iTunes I laugh the entire time. It was like my Christmas, Birthday, and Wedding day were all wrapped into one big, hilarious package. Then I found out that I shouldn't be laughing at some of the jokes because they are misogynistic.

I'm Just Gonna Say It!
Now, hear me out on this! I know I'm going to be in trouble after posting this. Big trouble! As in, if-you-see-this-guy-at-the-door-of-the-comic-con-don't-let-him-in kind of trouble. I know what I'm risking, here. My nerd cred is dangling by a thread, but my commitment to the truth of my nerdiness (nerditude?) is far too strong to just let this alone.

Thor: Ragnarok - Movie Review
Thor: Ragnarok directed by Taika Waititi is the third cinematic solo outing for Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), the Thunder God superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. The film centres upon Thor's cosmic journey through different worlds to prevent Ragnarok, an event of cataclysmic proportions that could spell the end of Thor's home world of Asgard by the actions of Surtur (Clancy Brown), an omnipotent demon as well as Hela (Cate Blanchett), a long lost Asgardian set to conquer and rule. Along with Thor, the movie sees the return of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as the trickster god who as usual gets up to mischief and trickery, Hulk and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who finds himself in another galaxy as a gladiator champion to the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). We also see the debut of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) who is a wayward Asgardian warrior who adopts the "Han Solo"-esque lifestyle of working as a mercenary for the Grandmaster.

I'll Give You a Good Read
In preparation for a long road trip, I gave my mom the daunting task of picking out a book for me to read. She came back from the store with I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, which ended up being the best book I have ever had the privilege to read. The book’s cover features a plain white background with one of the book’s best quotes written in bright, shiny colours, which foreshadows the vivid story that lies in the black and white pages.

Disaster Flick 'Geostorm' Is a Clumsy, Careless Wreck
You know those telemarketing phone calls that are obviously scams but the caller seems to be on their knees begging you to take them seriously? The experience of sitting through Warner Bros. new disaster film, Geostorm, was similar to one of those phone calls; Geostorm pleads for audiences to see greatness in it, but doesn't offer a moment of mediocrity. It is a "craptacular" display of what can happen when a bunch of filmmakers get stuck on a project they don't really care about.

Best Gangster Movies
Many of the best movies in American cinema are crime movies and gangster films. Some of our best filmmakers, like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, have always had a fascination with gangster films. As a result, much of their greatest work deals with the depiction of organized crime.
