The Creator Movie Review
After stepping away from major franchises, UK director Gareth Edwards has returned to the silver screen with his own science fiction story; on a visual level The Creator plays to his strengths but lacks the finer detail in story and characters.

Heaven, Hell and the Multiverse
The mythology of heaven and hell has often been used in literature as a way to comment on ethics in general. Dante's Divine Comedy takes us on a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise, the most famous of these being his Inferno. Milton gave us Paradise Lost. The satirist Jonathan Swift described The Place of the Damned by its inhabitants including "Damned poets, damned critics, damned blockheads, damned knaves, damned senators bribed, damned prostitute slaves". The poet William Blake wrote The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which he contrasts the free Dionysian spirit of hell with the authoritarian and carefully regulated, dare we say repressed, heaven.

Are MacBooks From 2020 Still Good?
The 80s and early 90s saw vast and drastic changes in the technology that existed back then. We are talking landline telephones with long curly cords to going to wireless telephones. Big cassette players in boom boxes were replaced by Walkmans, which were soon replaced by Walkman Discmans which were portable CD players. And that would then be replaced by the famous Ipods.

iPhone 15 vs Android
So, the Apple iPhone 15 is finally out, and as always, it's like the tech world's version of a blockbuster movie premiere. The dynamic island, USB-C, improved cameras, and that snazzy Action button – Apple is clearly playing all its trump cards. But hold the applause, folks, because Android phones still have a few tricks up their sleeves, and they're not afraid to flaunt them.

My Review of "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the last entry to The Mummy franchise. It came out back in 2008, seven years after the last entry which I didn't like at all. This movie has some elements similar to that last movie that kind of irked me. Though, this movie feels a little more competent than that last entry, it doesn't mean that this one was good either.

Fredi Washington (1903 – 1994)
“Early in my career it was suggested that I might get further by passing as French or something exotic. But to pass for economic or other advantages would have meant that I swallowed, whole hog, the idea of Black inferiority” (Fredi Washington in the Chicago Defender, 1945)

The Menu with Ralph Fiennes Will Settle Real Well in Your Stomach
For the guests of Ralph Fiennes in The Menu, a reservation is definitely needed for his exclusive island restaurant retreat. Of course, no such requirement is in place for us common folk in the viewing audience. Still, once getting a seat at the table there might be some confusion. Like having a side order of fast food with filet mignon, the 107 minute feature is both hilarious and horrifying, and director Mark Mylod’s dichotomy will have you unsure of which to chew on. But by the time the fifth course arrives, a five star rating is assured.
