Movie Review: Room (2015) is a cinematic gem
While scrolling through Netflix late last night, in search of a movie to watch I stumbled across this film and decided to give it a try. I had never heard of it before and didn't have any expectations, so you can only imagine the pleasant shock I had at how immersive and captivating it turned out to be.

Why Storm Should Be Marvel's Flagship Mutant in the MCU!
Marvel have been clear that both the Fantastic Four and the mutant team the X-Men will be appearing in the coming years to the MCU. Both teams fan eagerly anticipate, but the mutant race perhaps has more excitement to appear due to how they have always been representatives for groups excluded or shunned for simply being who they are. Originally the team were used to discuss racial discrimination, but as time has gone on their exclusion from society has resonated with many other groups including the LGBTQ+ community.

Paw Patrol
Good old Paw Patrol! The only thing that my 6-year-old son has been into since he was a baby! I really do believe that he will never grow out of paw patrol. This show is about a 10-year-old boy named Ryder and his pups. There's Rubble a bulldog, Chase a German Shepard, Sky a cockapoo, Marshall a dalmation, Zuma a chocolate lab, and Rocky a mutt. There are others that they add along the way like Everest a husky, Tracker a Chihuahua mix, and the newest one was Liberty a dachshund.

Parker's Blues (Alien and the Nemesis)
Note: this was originally written in September of 2009... No chance getting it published then, so... It is a strange time to be a fan of horror films. After September 11th, the media informed us that the age of irony (in American life, as has to be said) was over and that films would have to deal with cold facts and unpleasant truths in a manner supposedly unseen in recent American films. The press was apparently referring to the brilliant slew of films which arose in the shadow of the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, hippies, recreational drug use, cults, the counterculture and Watergate. After almost three years after the fact, 9/11 is still firmly rooted in the psyche of the west, yet our films have not followed suit. We still have the blockbusters like Spider-Man, Transformers, and Fantastic Four in crowded cineplexes and Hollywood is pursuing a business-as-usual path. This is not to ignore some of the great “small” films that have gained notice in the press, such as American Splendor, Lost in Translation, Thirteen, and Saved! which have their own particular means of truth-telling or authenticity. They capture the obsessive nature of a culture and the need to see oneself as one actually is: ordinary, lost and unsure of where we stand.
