Review of 'The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi'
Amina al-Sirafi should be content. After a storied and scandalous career as one of the Indian Ocean’s most notorious pirates, she’s survived backstabbing rogues, vengeful merchant princes, several husbands, and one actual demon to retire peacefully with her family to a life of piety, motherhood, and absolutely nothing that hints of the supernatural. But when she’s tracked down by the obscenely wealthy mother of a former crewman, she’s offered a job no bandit could refuse: retrieve her comrade’s kidnapped daughter for a kingly sum. The chance to have one last adventure with her crew, do right by an old friend, and win a fortune that will secure her family’s future forever? It seems like such an obvious choice that it must be God’s will. Yet the deeper Amina dives, the more it becomes alarmingly clear there’s more to this job, and the girl’s disappearance, than she was led to believe. For there’s always risk in wanting to become a legend, to seize one last chance at glory, to savor just a bit more power…and the price might be your very soul.

Franchises
In the grand scheme of film there are many franchises. And some of them are brilliant, we have Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Some are mediocre and hit or miss like Star Wars. And some, some just shouldn’t exist at all. In this article we will be discussing films that should have stopped after a single movie. Yet they somehow became a franchise that now has too many movies. These franchises will range from some good and some are bad to all the movies are bad, why are we doing this?

Super Mario Bros. Movie Review
Mario gearing up for action in The Super Mario Bros. Movie For all of Chris Pratt's hype about his Mario voice, though, it's merely serviceable. The movie jokes about Charles Martinet's original problematic accent (Martinet also voices two characters in the film), but Pratt's spin on it just feels like someone pretending to be a schlubby Brooklynite. That's particularly surprising since Pratt injected so much life into his Lego Movie lead.

My Review of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves"
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is the latest blockbuster to come out in 2023. It certainly feels like movies in the theatres are back to what they were before. This movie is a ton of fun and in all the right places. Though there's a sense of familiarity about it, I could say that was part of the charm of this movie.

The Magic of Writing
Created in 2019. There are several instances in my life that I have felt magic, but nothing quite feels like the first time I fell in love. It was with a book. I would go on to love other books, other stories, but nothing compares to the first one. That feeling of wonder is impossible to recapture. It was not one of the classics, one of those books every educator seemed to hold higher than the rest. It was not one of those books people pretended was their favorite because people wanted to feel smart and stopped believing in magic as adults. This is unfortunate since all writing, no matter the type, is magical.

Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ opening weekend has reflected just how appreciated this movie is. Dungeons and Dragons is a hilarious and unexpectedly emotional adventure movie that was true to its source material. There have been many attempts at a Dungeons and Dragons inspired movies but they all missed the mark because they were made by people who had clearly never played the RPG. Most of the past attempts are campy, but not in a good way. They also didn’t have the budget of the current attempt. Honor Among Thieves makes D&D fans proud. Nerds and normies alike will enjoy this funny, adventure film.
