'Up In The Air' - Film Review and Analysis
Ryan Bingham has chosen a different life path than most people he knows. Instead of staying in his hometown, reveling in the glories past of high school and the diner down the road, he wanted to leave his roots and his family for his true passion in life: being up in the air and striving for excellence as a motivational speaker. The choices he has made haven’t caught up to him yet, but he is on the path he has chosen that while unorthodox to most leaves him satisfied and content with who he is.

"Halloween Ends" Thoughts.
So it's been a couple of weeks since this movie came out now and the reactions were shocking. Now I would not call this a review, but I had to give my thoughts on this movie and how polarizing it was. I really enjoyed what Davis Gordon Green has done with these movies I wasn't sure what was gonna come of them when I heard he would be making two more after Halloween 2018. I really liked what they all did to this Halloween movie especially. With the franchise coming back from the dead I was excited to see these characters return. I never thought we'd ever see Jaime lee Curtis do another one of these movies again. So seeing her back for these was a real treat. Even though there were some issues I had with "Kills" I still found it entertaining. At the end of the day, it was a good trilogy.

Why Black Adam's RT Audience Score Is So High and why critics dislike it
DC's latest film Black Adam has deeply divided critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences have given Black Adam, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the titular anti-hero, the highest audience score for any theatrically released DCEU film. Quite a stunning departure from Black Adam's 39% score from critics, making the movie certified rotten (via Rotten Tomatoes). During the film's opening weekend, Black Adam beat the bad reviews at the box office through the use of fan excitement, which could have a lasting impact on the DCEU.

The Lean-in Feminism of 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law'
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was meant to be a meta-textual, feminist deconstruction of the MCU, and in some ways, it succeeds with this goal. Whether it's referencing Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist or jokes about women in the workplace, there are plenty of progressive nuggets for viewers to mine.
