Simpsons Review: "Lisa the Greek"
One of the many, many things I love about the Super Bowl is the heavy promotion for the big game. That promotion often includes shows airing episodes centering on the Super Bowl, and The Simpsons was definitely no stranger to this. The long-running series brought up the Super Bowl quite a bit during their run, which began in 1989--during the San Francisco 49ers' run to winning Super Bowl XXIV. This review is about the first of these occasions, one of my favorite episodes, "Lisa the Greek."

Apple Cider Vinegar Ending Explained
Despite Belle Gibson's story's obvious conclusion, Apple Cider Vinegar paints a vivid portrait of the con artist and the victims she defrauded, culminating in a hopeful conclusion that conveys a significant message. Belle's story, which highlights the predatory nature of the con artists and liars who promote junk science, is as bitter and acidic as the liquid from which the title is taken. The plot of Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar alternates between Belle beginning to fabricate a story about having cancer, growing her company, and being discovered.

The Non-Fan's Guide to Godzilla Films
This series is the culmination of everything that went before, taking what made each era of Godzilla films great. I've said similar things before, and it was true, but it's also true here. Produced by Hollywood, what we have here is what could have gone right with the 1998 film, finally done right. Excellent effects, an outstanding cast, recurring characters, and locales that aren't just (yawn) Japan or the Pacific.

The Non-Fan's Guide to Godzilla Films
The legacy of the first American Godzilla film is that it showed that yes, CGI can help make a film where Godzilla does more. But it also showed that people wanted to see the real, classic Godzilla, updated for modern times. Thus was born the third period of Godzilla films, which really was a culmination of everything that made the previous two series great: Better effects, ongoing plot and character development, and human characters who weren't annoying throw-away characters you just wanted to fast-forward through.

The Non-Fan's Guide to Godzilla Films
By the 1980s, the Godzilla films had been seen in theatres all over the world, and more importantly, had been seen in television reruns constantly for more than a generation. Some films were good, some were goofy, but they had a lot of fans of all ages. Godzilla had become an icon for Japan. And so, the world's favorite giant monster was brought back, with better plots, better effects, and upgrades across the board.

The Non-Fan's Guide to Godzilla Films. Top Story - February 2022.
The opinion of those who don't watch Godzilla films tends to be that all Godzilla films are essentially the same, he just fights a different monster and the effects get better. But that's not exactly true. Sometimes he's the villain attacking humanity, sometimes he's the hero trying to save the world. And the approach to the films has changed greatly since the first film was released by Toho Productions in 1954. While few people will want to watch every film in the series, chances are you'll enjoy at least a few of them. Following is a guide from the first to the most recent films with reasons why you may want to watch each one, or give one a pass.
