Great Cast, Bad Movie
As a long long long time fan of both Batman and Superman, I was very very very upset and disappointed with the movie: "Batman vs. Superman". I don't know who to be more upset with - Director Zack Snyder or the writers Chris Terrio and David Goyer. Sometimes new, fresh, and different is a great idea. In this case, it was just absolutely horrible.

Agatha All Along
So last week’s episode of Agatha All Along was more than disappointing. It, like the fourth episode of WandaVision, will be skipped when it comes to rewatches. It was an unnecessary waste of time and the summation of poor media literacy. That said, this episode looks far more intriguing as all of our witches seem to be dressed up as iconic witches from media. So I am very interested in what this episode will hold and I am hopeful that the show can recover from the major bullshit that was the 6th episode.

Who is Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog, the edgy anti-hero of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, is a character who embodies coolness with a capital C. Born from Sega’s desire to inject some much-needed grit into their blue blur’s universe, Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, immediately gaining popularity for his brooding demeanor and mysterious past. But his origins are a bit more complicated (and amusing) than his dark backstory might suggest.

How Everyone Misunderstood Joker: Folie à Deux and the Ideology Behind the Joker
Since its announcement, *Joker: Folie à Deux*, the sequel to Todd Phillips’ critically acclaimed *Joker* (2019), has generated controversy and debate among fans and critics alike. Much of the backlash centers around rumors that the film might “erase” the first movie or shift the iconic role of the Joker to someone else by its conclusion. These anxieties seem to stem from a misunderstanding of the Joker as a character, as well as from expectations based on conventional comic book and superhero narratives. However, viewing *Joker: Folie à Deux* through the lens of ideology, rather than a simplistic continuation of a single character’s journey, allows for a deeper and more nuanced appreciation of its potential thematic direction.

Top 10 Movies About Insomnia and Sleep Deprivation: The Sleepless Thrillers You Can't-Miss
Insomnia and sleep deprivation have been central themes in many films, portraying how sleeplessness can distort reality, amplify fear, and erode mental health. Be it psychological thrillers like "Fight Club" and "The Machinist," in which insomnia was implemented in forcing the characters into paranoia and self-destruction, or horror classics like "A Nightmare on Elm Street," where staying awake becomes a matter of survival, most of these movies portray the extreme, profound effects of sleeplessness. Whether it is fear, guilt, or possibly grief, these films take the audience all the way down into the rather unsettled world of a sleep-deprived mind.
