'Wakanda Forever' Gives Us the Closure We Needed
By Steven A. Clubb and Sandy Lo Losing a loved one is always difficult, but with some help and support, we get through it in our own time, at our own pace. Wakanda Forever is a movie about saying goodbye to loved ones while learning to heal and how, sometimes, through our pain, we come out stronger and find our purpose. With the loss of T’Challa, Wakanda and his family are left without a king and protector.

The adrenaline does not last
Adrenaline movies are fun and thrilling, they deal with the chemistry of our brains. But like some things they don’t last. The racing car scenes of 2 Fast 2 Furious are exhilarating from an instinctual point of view – as one suspends their reservations and fires along on all cylinders – and as this is an adrenaline movie one does not have to worry about thinking. Much. There comes a moment in this reviewer’s experience where a conscience is pest, but I would go along with it.

All Quiet on the Western Front: A Review.
The biggest compliment I can give the 2022 adaption of All Quiet on the Western Front is that it tries to properly convey the anti war nature of the original material. However, I believe it fails in this regard, and focuses more on action set pieces, rather than live in the quiet moments between the fighting.

Watchers Unite
As an avid fan of all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I am ashamed to think about how long this book has been sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read. My Buffy obsession started as I would get up early in the summer to catch the early morning episodes on The WB network or as I would patiently wait to get one DVD at a time when Netflix still came in the mail. After finishing the series for the first time… and the second time.. I was continually disappointed that Buffy would no longer be in my life. I gave a fair attempt to the Buffy video game (yikes), I’ve read some of the comic and graphic novel series, and I have played the Buffy board game, but it was seeing this book on the display rack at the bookstore that reignited that spark of love I will always have for the Buffyverse.

My Review of "Jerry and Marge Go Large"
Jerry and Marge Go Large is a Paramount's latest straight to streaming video. We're living in the wild west with films nowadays. It's a little unfortunate because I think this movie could have done okay in the box office. A simple tale but sometimes simple is all we ask for with this world full of loud and bombastic media coming straight for your head.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Review
Marvel’s Black Panther drew a ton of fanfare in 2018, being widely praised for its blend of tradition and historical trappings. Following the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever was forced to strike out in a different direction. Luckily, Ryan Coogler and company have crafted an enjoyable follow-up that makes the most of the remaining pieces.

My Review of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has finally come out after so many issues and delays. It's probably one of the most anticipated Marvel movies to come out recently and with good reason. This wasn't going to be an easy feat to get a proper Black Panther sequel without the main character in the movie. Still they did an okay job at it for what they were given.

"Barely Lethal" - A fun and overhated Teen/Action film.
"Barely Lethal" Directed by: Kyle Newman. Written by: Kyle Newman, John D'Arco. Release date: April 23, 2015 This movie released back in 2015, and many critics called it a bad film. While everyone has their own opinion, calling this movie "A waste of time" or "dreadful" as some reviews stated is downright too harsh towards this film. "Barely Lethal" is a fun and comforting film for the most part, many teens can relate to a lot of the aspects of the film. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but it surely isn't a terrible movie by any means. The film had it's cringe moments at times for sure, but nothing to completely ruin the movie. Hailee Steinfeld is an amazing and underrated actress and she had a great performance in this film, her playing a teenager is always a delight to watch.

Effects From Another World
It all started with a short story: Who Goes There? tells of an expedition in Antarctica that finds an alien frozen for 20 million years, who is over a meter tall, weighs 42 kilograms, has blue hair, green blood, and three glowing red eyes. When scientists thaw it, it comes to life and absorbs everything around it, including humans. It becomes clear that the thing can mimic not only the bodies of others but also their personalities.
