'First Man'—Review
We have all heard the saying "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" before right? If you haven't, let me bring you up to speed. The saying implies that something may have many mediocre features, but when you take a step back and look at it as a whole, it's beautiful. However, with First Man, I would use the saying "the whole is less than the sum of its parts." I could list off every single aspect of the movie from acting, directing, cinematography, writing, production design, costumes, sound design, visual effects, editing, and literally everything you can think of and I will tell you that they did an amazing job, but when I step back and look at the movie as a whole, I would say that I am pretty content with never watching it again.

One Woman's Impossible Life
The Life of Oharu weighs heavy on the melodrama in a Thomas Hardy-esque epic of one woman’s life. The eponymous Oharu is a fallen angel of the 18th Century—a once respected woman with a posh accent, who after banishment from Kyoto for associating with a lower caste man is routinely thrown around by the patriarchy, finding herself, against her will, a child-bearer for a local Lord, a concubine, a servant and widow. This is all told in flashback as the older Oharu spies the face of a former lover in a temple statue.

The Impact of 'Fantastic Beasts'
In the winter of 2016, I was in a rather bad place; my grandmother had been diagnosed with cancer, I was struggling at work and felt behind at uni as well as struggling to make new friends. I had already been suffering from depression for five and a half years at that point, including having suicidal thoughts and harming myself.

The Most Heart-Tugging Scenes of the MCU
We are midway between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4, which make this the perfect moment to look back at the road that brought us here. After I watched Infinity War in theaters, I did a marathon of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe and found that each installment had a moment that was heart tugging. I made a note of each and began ranking them according to which I felt had the most impact, and this list was born.
