Review of Game of Thrones 7.3
A conversation for the ages between Jon and Daenerys on Game of Thrones 7.3 last night, with each not giving an inch, dignified and persuasive, and in the end, Daenerys agreeing more or less to help in the fight against the dead in the North.

Self-Worth in Death of a Salesman
Arthur Miller’s most significant work touches on a wide variety of relatable themes and topics, perhaps none of which as relevant as the underlying motif of a person’s worth, both to themselves and to others. Willy Loman serves as a pivotal example of a person’s true worth, and how it can easily be misrepresented and incorrectly defined, but a varying value of self is displayed by other characters as well, namely Willy’s sons. The play eloquently relates ideals such as the American Dream to a person’s worth, and there is much disagreement and confusion over what truly defines a person as valuable. Death of a Salesman demonstrates the importance of a person’s self-worth and depicts the different variables that can influence an individual’s own value.

Best Celebrity Cameos on 'The Simpsons'
That's right! The Simpsons have one of the largest character lists in the history of television. Not only is the town of Springfield very well populated, but each person has an abundant amount of lines throughout the series and is not left strictly to the background scene. In fact, most characters have episodes dedicated to their role in the show, revolving around the Simpson family of course. Each person has their own backstory and characteristics that make them unique and a hilarious asset to the show. In the shows twenty-eight seasons, there have been many celebrity cameos that are actually voiced by the celebrity themselves. From bands to actors and actresses, these cameos will make you laugh no matter how long they are featured in the episode.

Jon Kent; The True Tragic Hero of 'Man of Steel'
There are a few problems with the Man of Steel movie. Many that have been hashed and rehashed at ad nauseam. There is one that I feel needs to be looked at a little more closely. That is the adaptation of Jon Kent as a character. Jon is Clark’s adoptive human father and the pillar of morals in Clark’s life. Jon Kent was nothing more than a normal, red blooded, average American man, trying to raise his alien son and help him to become the hero that we all know and love.

The Screening Room
This was 1987 baby! Sunny Crockett was doing things with pastels that are still illegal in some southern states and Phillip Michael Thomas was singlehandedly keeping the curl activator industry afloat.* Saturday morning was virtually the only place to find super-heroes and people were wearing Z. Cavaricci pants (ask your parents).

The Living Daylights Turns 30
Okay, you might be wondering what kind of BS I am trying to pull here by not writing my own review of The Living Daylights. After all, I reviewed The Lost Boys, Adventures in Babysitting and La Bamba, so why not celebrate 30 years of Timothy Dalton's version of 007? The answer is simple and oddly controversial; I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of the James Bond movies.

Review on "Mirai Nikki" (Future Diary)
First, before we dig in, let's talk about why I was attracted to this anime. It all started with its opening song "Kuusou Mesorogiwi" which was covered by Amalee in English on Youtube. I was looking for more good anime songs and I clicked on it just for funsies...

It's Time For Summer School
The 80s was a time of both great music and great film making. Whether it was action, comedy, drama, or all of those combined, the decade of hair and flair really gave the world some great timeless classics to enjoy for years to come. Taking a step away from the classics, I decided to watch Summer School (1987), a film about a gym teacher who is forced to teach Remedial English during the California summer.
