'Tall Girl' Movie Review
Jodi Kreyman, a 6'1 and a 1/2, 16 year old girl, attending high school. Nothing special or particular about that sentence. Take a look again at the height of this young girl. For the whole of Jodi's life, she has never been unnoticeable as she looms over everyone. She has been mercilessly teased for her great stature, the classic question 'How's the weather up there?' on repeat. Jodi has her two good friends Fareeda, a positive, live soul and Jack Dunkleman (AKA 'Dunkle'), who is madly in love with her. Jodi felt defeated until someone on her level came to save the day and finally swept her off her feet...

With all the environmental threats that our earth is facing right now, it is best to equip the present and future generations with awareness and feasible means to ensure the survival of our planet. Teaching our kids about the environment can sometimes be a little tricky. However, catching and engaging their attention with something more appealing to them can make the job a bit easier.

'Gremlins': One of the Greatest Films of the 80s!
In my opinion, Gremlins was by far one of the greatest films of the 1980s, a decade which gave us a huge batch of classic films. The horror/comedy was released in 1984. Directed by Joe Dante and produced by Steven Spielberg, it also marked the screenwriting debut for Chris Columbus (Home Alone). Writing the screenplay for Gremlins really is the stuff that dreams are made of for Chris Columbus, as really he just wrote it to get noticed in Hollywood! He wrote it as a spec, a writing sample. Luckily for Columbus, it was brought and produced by the best, Steven Spielberg. Spielberg thought the script was one of the most original stories he had heard in years. Really is there a better way to start your screen writing career than that?

4 Films That Get Hacking Mostly Right
If there's one thing that American film fans can't seem to get enough of, it's hackers. They turn up over and over again in Hollywood blockbusters and indie movies of all genres. They're even the titular characters in some pretty well-known mainstream fare.

'She-Hulk' Pitch
I really like She-Hulk. I think she’s a really fun and unique character. She has way more personality than you would expect from a character originally created to stop the 70s TV show at the time from making a spinoff. I recently started reading and collecting John Byrne's Sensational She-Hulk run, and I really got into it. So, logically, I came up with a pitch for a She-Hulk movie.

'The Lion King': Far From Disney's Crowing Achievement
2019s The Lion King was highly anticipated for many reasons. It was criticised for all the same reasons. Audiences flocked in droves to see this film, as it brings together two generations to appreciate Disney's achievement.

'Pain and Glory' (2019) Review
In a similar vein to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Pain and Glory (2019) is another set of cinematic giants coming together to create a reflective magnum opus. With a swell of critical acclaim, and a "Best Actor" win at Cannes, Pain and Glory has finally arrived on UK screens, and has continued to maintain its high standards. Almodóvar has had a long career filled with widespread acclaim, and an Oscar win for his original screenplay. He has now turned his attention to the twilight years of a once-successful film director, who has become a self-inflicted recluse due to bad physical health and depression. Through a reconnection with an actor from years before, and an introduction to heroin, he begins to reflect on his past as it rears its head into the present.

All 3 Fallen Movies RANKED From Worst to Best!
Before I even start this article, I just want to clear this up: I am not a huge fan of this series in general. I think they're B-grade action movies and even though I love hard-R throwback action thrillers, I think this series wastes its potential on stories that are either familiar or forgettable.

7 Times When 'Harry Potter' Was Basically 'Scooby Doo'
I had a startling revelation recently about Harry Potter that completely changed how I view the series. It all happened when I was on vacation and bought Stephen King’s son Joe Hill’s most recent book, The Fireman. It’s been compared to his version of his father’s post-apocalyptic story The Stand. The Fireman is a tale about a world being burned down by a mysterious fungal spore that cause people to spontaneously combust. The main protagonist gets infected shortly after she gets pregnant. Her last dying wish is to somehow give birth to her child while staying alive amidst a world that is quickly burning down. If you have no idea how this relates to Harry Potter, just give it a minute.

Bruce Lee Could Have Mopped the Floor with Somebody Like Tarantino, but Not Muhammad Ali
Okay, the suggestion that Bruce Lee could mop the floor with a guy like Tarantino is conjecture, of course. But it’s not something that a sane person would doubt. On TV shows, in his films, and in the lessons shared with those who studied under him when he was alive, Bruce Lee executed some of the most dynamic displays of martial arts mastery ever witnessed.
