My Review of "Nimona"
Nimona is an animated feature streaming exclusively on Netflix. I'm not a huge fan of Netflix animated features. Once in a while they do a pretty good job but for the most part I don't get through these moves. I forced myself to go through this one. It's a quirky little tale that has its twists and turns closer to the end but has a bit of a rough start.

My Review of "Tropic Thunder"
Tropic Thunder is one of the last great Ben Stiller comedies that I continue to rewatch. It came out back in 2008 and I guess this is the last time they were able to use such offensive material for a comedic movie. Due to the social climate we have today this movie is considered very controversial because of the very risqué topics touched upon.

My Review of "Field of Dreams"
Field of Dreams is a somewhat spiritual film that came out in 1989. It's a really movie that has a lot to say. The method in which they tell the story is also quite unconventional as well. Some would argue that they don't make movies based on imagination anymore and that would explain why this is such an oddity.

The Dynamic Dichotomy of Professor X and Magneto
The X-Men universe, a vast tapestry of mutants navigating a world that fears and often despises them, is a testament to the complexity of human nature and societal dynamics. At the heart of this intricate narrative lies the relationship between two formidable characters, Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Erik Lehnsher (Magneto). While both mutants share a common origin and a dream of securing a future for their kind, their distinct methodologies and philosophies create a dichotomy that has shaped the very foundation of the X-Men universe. This essay explores the depth of their relationship, delving into the ideological struggle that defines their interactions and the underlying respect that endures despite their differences.

Reviewing a Pair of Villainesses from "A Job to Kill For"
One vintage Lifetime film I remember well is A Job to Kill For, which I have seen quite a few times; as recently as a few days ago for the purpose of writing this review. On that day, it was the first time I had seen it in a number of years, and I have Tubi to thank for this, because they are a hotbed of classic Lifetime films, and some Lifetime-esque original films.

Poor Things Movie Review
Yorgos Lanthimos is one of the most unique and dynamic indie filmmakers in the industry; his style, use of black comedy and an often bonkers presentation are unlike anything else on the silver screen. Having established his presence with The Lobster and The Favourite, he now turns his attention to the adaptation scene with Poor Things. It’s another fascinating and impeccably produced project.

Society Of The Snow Movie Review
When he isn’t working on large-scale blockbusters, J.A Bayona has a penchant for disaster films with a human heart at the centre. Just like The Impossible before it, Bayona and his crew have delivered another excellent production, one that brings the right amount of levity, authenticity and respectful portrayals.
