The Man Behind the Myth: Albus Dumbledore (Part - 1)
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the wizard with the distinctive crooked nose, whose seasoned gaze and warm smile provided a sense of security to all Potterheads, even in the midst of darkness that shrouded the magical world. Regarded as the greatest and seemingly flawless figure in our inquisitive eyes, one might ponder: was he inherently perfect from birth, or did the tragedies of his life mold him into the compassionate, sensible, and loving figure we came to know? Let's delve into the life of this greatest wizard of the century and draw our own conclusions.

Killers of the Flower Moon
Lily Gladwell just became the first native woman to ever win a Golden Globe and though I do not put too much stock in the Golden Globes it was still a great moment. That said, as happy as I am for her, I didn’t see Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters. And as it is inevitably going to be an Oscar contender I needed to see it before nominations came out. I will say that I resisted this movie because I really don’t like Scorsese. His movies are boring and repetitive and I take issue with anyone who appoints themselves the end all, be all of film. That said, I am going into this movie a little bit biased against him. So here we go with my official review of Killers of the Flower Moon.

A Love Letter to HARRY POTTER
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series isn't simply a wizarding adventure; it's a tapestry woven with the intricate threads of fate, choice, and the inescapable entanglement of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. Unlike conventional hero-villain dynamics, their bond transcends good and evil, twisting and turning like the Elder Wand's mastery, making their destinies a spectacle of light and darkness locked in a breathtaking, thousand-thread waltz.

Mean Girls
Mean Girls is finally released in theaters and I have some thoughts. The first of them being that the internet's top complaint is that they didn’t know that it was a musical. I am going to say this is the nicest way possible, if you didn’t know that this movie was a musical you are stupid. There was a teaser trailer and 2 longer trailers. In the teaser Renee Rapp SINGS “I am Regina George”. In both longer trailers there are AT LEAST 4 scenes of dancing. On the poster there is a treble clef in the A of Mean Girls and there is a music note ring on Regina’s finger. The only way you walked into the movie not knowing it was a musical was if you are completely brain dead.

Ranking the Films of 2023
I saw right around 50 films last year, I wanted to make sure when Oscar time came I had the most thorough picture of what could be nominated for awards as well as having a well informed opinion on what I think should win. I saw most of the Oscar nominees last year and it really made it more enjoyable to watch the award show. So here we go a full ranking of all the films I have seen this year.

My Review of "Role Play"
Role Play has recently been dropped on Prime in January of 2024. I saw the trailer to this movie and I thought it would be really fun. It had a Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibe to it but this movie couldn't be further from that. The trailer made it come off like it was going to be some comedy and it didn't really have that light hearted vibe to it.

My Review of "Game of Thrones: Season 5"
Game of Thrones: Season 5 was released back in 2015. It came off one of the best seasons yet. Just when I didn't think it would get any crazier it brings in some new characters and scenarios that would keep me intrigued as to what would happen next.

Saltburn
Okay so the internet is full of mixed reviews about Saltburn. On the one hand we have people who can’t stop raving about how awesome and brilliant it is. And on the other we have people who are saying that it is the most depraved and insane thing that they have ever seen. Now I was interested in this movie from the second I saw the trailer so we are going to go ahead and see which side is correct, or if we land somewhere in the middle. I couldn’t in good conscience put out my ranking list for the films of 2023 without watching this movie so here we go with my review of Saltburn.

Echo
Recently Disney+ dropped its latest series, Echo. As with anything new that the MCU dares to do the show was met with many complaints. But as we know the general public’s opinion on what is of quality or not means absolutely nothing to me. So I of course had to watch it myself. The series is a very bingeable 5 episodes so I did finish it in a weekend. As of right now it is being railed as the second lowest rated MCU show…at 73% audience rating. First of all that isn’t at all a bad score, second of all we need to leave 10% wiggle room for internet incels angry that women exist and another 10% for the fact that Echo isn’t an established character in the MCU. Let’s go ahead and be really honest as to why WandaVision, Loki and Falcon and the Winter Soldier are rated so high, the audience was already familiar with them as characters. The first season of Loki sucked and some of y'all seem to be forgetting that. Also the lowest rated is Secret Invasion at 53% which is still way too high. So grouping them together when there is a 20% difference is insane. So here we go with the reality of Echo.
