How Harry Potter taught me to protect my energy.
Harry Potter was a staple in the non-fiction movie and book realm throughout the 2000s, drawing in record breaking sales with every movie release. It’s innovative fiction telling capability about spells, wizards, and sci-fi narratives shot its viewers into an imaginatory world of good vs. evil, and wands that could kill with a movement, along with cloaks that came with invisibility. This fantasy world came to be immersive for so many readers and watchers in America, but what if I told you it held gems inside of some of its fantasy-driven narrative?

Will There Be A Reboot?
In the age of reboots and rehashing old television and movies there's one that I've been waiting for since my senior year in high school. While Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas may be past their primes and having Crockett and Tubbs on the streets of Miami running and gunning might be a hard sell, there's unfinished business with that series that has gone unanswered for too long. So, in my imagination, it would have to be a passing of the torch series. It has been done before. Hopefully, the online rumors of a project in the works might mean that they are going to do it again.

Where the Woodbine Twineth actress Margaret Leighton continued acting after MS diagnosis
Where the Woodbine Twineth The beautiful and talented Margaret Leighton was clearly a class act in her day. I first caught a glimpse of her in the 1965 episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode “Where the Woodbine Twineth.” In this program, Leighton portrayed stern Aunt Nell, who attempted to raise her brother’s daughter after he died.

Velvet-lined Vintage
A few years ago, a touring Broadway company was bringing The Phantom of the Opera through my city. I bought tickets to take my best friend (and a small group of our compatriots) to the show for his birthday and planned a somewhat elaborate evening out for the lot of us. The tickets were a surprise, and I wanted to do something a little more elaborate to reveal that surprise than just tell him I was taking him, so I delved into my craft supplies and wrote him an invitation to the show from "The Phantom" using parchment paper and blood-red India ink with a dip-nib pen to make it look as authentic and ominous as possible, and sealed it with a red wax seal to make it official. I went out and found a distressed-looking book safe, which would act as the delivery service for the letter, to add a little extra panache.

'The Young and the Restless' fans want to know the identity of the lady in the green dress
The Young and the Restless fans have a mystery they desire to solve. It involves an African American cast member who works at Society. She is always seen in the background and has been wearing the same green dress for months. Her name is never mentioned on the show and she cannot be found in the list of the current cast or in the credits. She has been around too long to be considered as a cameo role and viewers want some answers. On social media sites as well as forums for soap spoilers, the question is always the same. "Who is the lady in the green dress?"

5 Films to Override Your Algorithm
Whether it's a function of spending too much time with my streaming services (very likely), not enough time (highly unlikely), or just poorly engineered equations (no idea how likely), it seems I've tested the limits of every algorithm and broke them. Busted and trampled and burned them so badly that all they do is recommend crap now. Like a tech version of bad karma. So in an attempt to save you from a similar fate, I've concocted a new little formula, developed through countless hours of determined scrolling and committed viewing, that yields at least 5 great films. But first, let me explain the variables.

Sean Blakemore returns to 'General Hospital'
On General Hospital, Shawn Butler has been languishing away in Pentonville prison for a crime he did not commit. He was arrested and convicted of the attempted murder of Hayden Barnes when Nikolas Cassadine is the real culprit. It looked to viewers as if he was locked up and they threw the key away on the character. His former boss Sonny is presumed to be dead and Carly could use her good friend right now. Fans of the character have been saying for the past 6 years that Shawn needs justice because he was innocent.

The Man in the High Castle(2015–2019)- Review
Have you ever wondered what might have been if something in history didn't come to fruition; how the world would be different, how would people be, how different would you be. The Man in the High Castle is a series that does just that. It takes us through the ride through the world where the allies lost the second world war and the world is at the mercy of Nazi Germany and Japan. Based on thenovel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, the story rotates around Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) a woman living in San Francisco, which is on the Japanese side of occupied America called Japanese Pacific States. Initially introduced to the possibility of a better world by her sister, Juliana gets involved in the mission to free this dystopian America; the mission run by someone that goes by the moniker of The Man In the High Castle. Throughout the series, we are acquainted with a dearth of characters on both sides of the divided America among whom is John Smith (Rufus Sewell) one of the most important men in Nazi America, and on the other side of the occupation is Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido (Joel de la Fuente) an officer of the Japanese police, the two are at the heart of the story and pose as the biggest challenge to the Resisting Forces.

Let's talk about these upcoming video game movies (and why they are needed or not)
It has been a universal thing since the ever so nostalgic decade of the 90s, that video game movies are generally.... well.... not very good. Actually, let me be straightforward here. Not a single video game film, before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu, has been able to crack a tomato rating of 60% or over. Things don't look much better on IMDB either. Yet while most of these sites should be taken with a grain of salt compared to the reactions of the average moviegoer or avid gamer. Those reactions haven't exactly been the most positive either. It's practically a historic (almost) trope that video game films are never destined to be good. You cannot make a good video game movie.

The Story Of Disney's Lost Generation
It's hard to believe now but for a period of about 15 years Walt Disney pictures had a lost generation. What's even stranger looking at the conglomerate that Disney has become that only 30 years ago Disney was in terrible trouble.

The Legacy of The Promised Neverland
I've been a huge anime fan for quite a long time. The first anime I ever followed closely was InuYasha: The Final Act way back in 2009, and after I saw what the medium had to offer, I jumped into the ocean and explored to my heart's content. From more generic shows like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto to masterclasses like Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist, each anime I watched was unique in its own way and had something that kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed every anime I saw - even if some weren't as good as others; I was pleasantly surprised that out of so many shows, there was nothing that I actually come across that I flat out disliked. This continued to be the case until I ran into the Tokyo Ghoul franchise, which, if I'm honest, wasn't even that bad. I actually loved the first season - it had great animation, an engaging story, and great moments that I still remember to this day. I wish I could say the same thing about its sequel, though - Tokyo Ghoul: Root A was an absolute tragedy, and a large part of that is because at the very beginning of the season, there was a huge deviation from the story of the original manga. However, despite this, the ending of the season reached the same point as one of the most intesne parts of the manga, despite having virtually none of the story leading up to said point. This is where the season ended, and when the third season of the show started, Tokyo Ghoul:re, there was yet another deviation, with the season starting from an even later part of the manga. All in all, this led to me being totally disinterested in continuing the series, as there was zero consistency as to what was being adapted.
