My Review of "American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship 3"
American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship 3 has recently aired on TV. I've been following this annual event for the past 3 years and it seems as though the competition is getting better and better. There also seems to be a changing of the guard in the women's competition. This makes it pretty exciting to see the regular competition.

"Flamin' Hot: Eva Longoria's Directorial Debut Shines as a Captivating Journey of Inspiration"
Eva Longoria's directorial debut, "Flamin' Hot," is a mind-blowing film that takes audiences on a captivating journey of inspiration. This charming biopic tells the extraordinary story of Richard Montañez, a janitor at a Frito Lay factory, whose creation of Flamin' Hot Cheetos forever altered the landscape of the food industry. While the plot may follow some predictable events, the film's execution and heartfelt storytelling make it an enjoyable and emotionally engaging experience.

Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion has premiered. As Marvel’s latest installment of it's extensive universe I was immediately skeptical because as a comic book fan Secret Invasion is kind of a big story. So to handle that kind of story as a Disney+ show was already questionable. But then of course we found out that the director was instructed to not read the comics, because of course the MCU version is nothing even remotely similar to the comic book storyline. The only thing they share is a name, now not only is this misleading but it's unethical. If they had simply come up with a different title and said that it was inspired by Secret Invasion then everything would be fine. But keeping the original title and saying that the MCU was based on the comic book storyline is a blatant lie. It’s also wildly unethical to use the popularity of that story and not acknowledge or pay any of the comic book writers involved in that story. Again a small title change and “inspired by” would have fixed this problem.

No Hard Feelings
The latest film out is Jennifer Lawrence’s, No Hard Feelings. Not only are we reminded of how amazing she is as an actress but we also get to see her comedic timing. The film was fun and funny and exactly what I expected it to be. It was a rom com that was exactly what it branded itself as. Though it followed the typical formula it was still a good time.

My Review of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has come out in 2023. It's the hotly anticipated sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that came out 5 years ago. Animation takes a lot of time and effort to create let alone the story and production of a movie. Frankly I'm surprised it came out 5 years later. What we got was that last movie but pushed up three levels higher.
