Superhero Movies: When Will They End?
Cast your mind back 10 years. Obama was running for President, Freddos were 20p, and no one of the common film going audience had heard of Iron Man.

Old Tricks In A New Book
James Wan is a horror icon, some may even say a staple, in Hollywood nowadays. He first burst onto the scene with the release of Saw back in 2003, and some would say his big moment where he really came into his own was the release of the Insidious franchise back in 2010. One thing that most people seemed to agree on though, when it came to Insidious (2010), was that the film relied on practical effects more than pure CGI and sudden loud bursts of music for its scares, and this made the film all the better. James Wan seemed to have found his gimmick. While Saw (2003) and its sequels did rely on the gore and blood factor for its scares and not CGI demons and ghosts, Wan found a franchise and fanbase he could call his own, now relying on practical ghost scares rather than the shock and awe of someone sawing off their own leg or falling into a pit of needles or having their head ripped open via a 'reverse-bear-trap' (Although if any of us saw Jigsaw move towards us on that tricycle, I'm sure we'd be pretty creeped out as we looked over our shoulder and tried to get out of there ASAP).

Overman of Pain
In considering the existentialist philosopher, Friedreich Nietszche’s perspective on moving beyond good and evil, or moralities and judgement, to allow for the development of the “Overman,” we should first acknowledge what leads to such an awakening. Primarily, as a contemporary society, we have to realize that “God is dead,” and that we have killed him and made him obsolete as a result of our own inevitable progress in science with evolution theory, the end of the aristocracy, as well as with developments in our own thoughts, behavior, and philosophy. Additionally we also need to recognize our values and perceptions of concepts of morality and judgment and whether or not they’re our own and place ourselves in a mindset of self-valuation. We have to recognize all of these values that are imposed on us from the dual moralities that are the foundation of our social consciousness, Master and Slave Morality.

The Hidden Gems of Netflix - Part 2: Dig a Little Deeper...
Oh, the time I have lost to Netflix. Time I could be dedicating to finishing my second novel. Perfecting my cocktail flinging skills, painting an abstract masterpiece, or... well, literally anything else productive really.

Once Again, Spike Lee Goes Over the Top in 'BlacKkKlansman'
I just went to see BlacKkKlansman. I had high hopes. But let’s first talk about Spike Lee. I’m well aware of how his films get in your face. Drawing both criticism and praise, he’s a cultural lightning rod that cannot and should not be ignored. For my part, I’ve only seen a few of his films. I liked Malcolm X, while Inside Man is among the best movies I’ve ever seen.

My Oscar Winners Would Man-up the Whole Affair
Ordinary People, Dances with Wolves, Forrest Gump—we've all sat with disappointment as the wrong picture ends up with Best Picture. It's not something that would easily be fixed by shaking up those who cast the votes for the Academy. The industry needs a makeover that would man-up the dysfunctional Hollywood culture and treat us to the entertainment value our $12.50 ticket is supposed to buy.

Review: 'The Happytime Murders'
My expectations for this have been more up and down than a roller-coaster. After seeing the trailer, it shocked me, made me laugh, and think about how good this concept could be. I did have my reservations, as it has Melissa McCarthy in it and she has a low success rate with me, and the reviews coming from America were scathing to say the least from the critics.

'Crazy Rich Asians' Not Only Provides Refreshing Asian Representation, but Is Also a Solid Rom-Com
When was the last time Hollywood released a movie with a majority Asian cast? Up until this year, the last time was in 1993 with The Joy Luck Club.

'Justice League: Gods & Monsters'
A twist to the beloved red and blue Kryptonian of the DC universe and Metropolis. This alternate universe begins with the destruction of Krypton, much like the original beginnings of the classic. The planet is on the verge of exploding, the house of El has failed to convince the population of a possible salvation, and general Zod is staging his self-righteous coup. The timeline of the classic is then skewed when Zod interrupts Jor-El and Lara attempting to send the soon-to-be fertilized DNA of Lara off-planet along with the Kryptonian archives. Just before they are able to 'plant the seed of Jor-El', Zod intervenes and implants his own DNA. The result is that Kal-El no longer has his originally intended, biological father, but now is a child of Zod. The story then jumps the timeline to the altered present day.

'Happytime Murders'
Happytime Murders is a comedy about a string of murders based in Los Angeles where both puppets and humans coexist. There's a serial killer murdering puppets from an old TV show and it's up to a pair of detectives, one puppet and one human, to figure out the mystery. Fortunately for us this pair have a turbulent past and it gets revealed throughout the movie. A lot of the fun comes from the revealing of the past relationships of the characters.
