2019 Movie Preview—Part One
Here we are at the end of May and we have most likely had the biggest film of the year with Avengers: Endgame. At the time of this article, it had taken $2.7 billion worldwide, rapidly closing in on Avatar's take of $2.78 billion. However, summer blockbuster season is upon us; but despite the usual big studio fare, there are also some excellent, smaller movies worth your time and money at the multiplex.

The 3 Worst Endings in TV History. Top Story - May 2019.
Well, the verdict is in. Game of Thrones has dug its own grave. After years of brilliant character development, complex plotlines, and stunning CGI, the show's writers have destroyed any last bit of hope we had for a satisfying conclusion—burning it alight like the massacre at King's Landing. What was once the greatest series in TV history has fallen from grace at a rate parallel to the downfall of some of its most iconic characters: last week's particularly notable victims being Daenerys Targaryen and Jaime Lannister. So what do we do now? We must accept our fate—and prepare ourselves for the inevitable tragedy that is tonight's final offering. Before that though, we might find some solace in revisiting other series that almost made it, before famously falling at the final hurdle. How did their fans cope? Did these endings fade away into history, or tarnish the entire show's memory forever?Naturally, we must begin at the very worst. The most notorious of all, and in most people's eyes, the long-time occupier of the Iron Throne of bad endings...

In My Opinion: The Best American Actors
I've already done an article on the Best British Actors of today, and you can read it here. I have a pretty good idea of who I want to put on the list of Americans now as well. I've always known that I wanted to do a list of the best actors from America, and, obviously, I would do Britain and America separately, because of the fact that the acting scenes are so different in each place. For example: British actors are more likely to train in theatre, not film—and American actors are less likely to be from an acting background.

The Dissenter's Guide to Disrupting the Future
We all know the quintessential reading list, we see it a lot. It features 1984 and Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and the like. And while we all should probably read those books, the writing style isn't for everyone. I am a fairly avid reader, and I struggle with Orwell's language sometimes. So I wanted to make a short 10-book list that is more accessible, but just as important in illustrating this horrible path we seem to be on, so that we can be better equipped to rise up against it. I have tried to include some YA and adult fiction because I think it is important to keep things accessible. Some times someone who will only read YA fiction will find a novel written for the more advanced.
