My Review of "Men in Black (1997)"
Men in Black (1997) came out to a wave of fanfare. It was a breath of fresh air in so many ways. At the time it was a revolution in special effects. The story also happened to play around with things that were going on in popular culture at the time. I remember loving this movie back in the day but I haven't seen it for a while and was curious how it would hold up.

How Will 5G Change the Way We Interact On Social Media?
Almost every marketer wishes they had a crystal ball so they could peer into the future and see what’s hot in the coming year. Unfortunately, most of us are not clairvoyant, but we can usually look at certain current trends and predict which will have staying power.

Why It's Harder to Love Alicent than Rhaenyra in "House of the Dragon"
Spoiler for everything up to S1E7. No book spoilers though. After episode 6, my patience for this show was running quite low with Queen Alicent and Sir Christon getting on my nerves too much to enjoy the intrigues unfolding on my screen. And although the new episode makes up for a lot, my initial point still stands: Alicent was done dirty.

Review of 'Ghosts of the Shadow Market'
From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller Cassandra Clare comes an exciting short story collection that follows Jem Carstairs as he travels through the many Shadow Markets around the world. Ghosts of the Shadow Market is set in the world of the Shadowhunters. The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires. There, the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains, and whisper secrets they do not want the Shadowhunters to know. Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the very heart of the Shadowhunters’ world. Jem Carstairs is searching through the Shadow Market, in many different cities over long years, for a relic from his past. Follow Jem and see—against the backdrop of the Shadow Market’s dark dealings and spectacle—Anna Lightwood’s doomed romance, Matthew Fairchild’s great sin, and Tessa Gray as she is plunged into a world war. Valentine Morgenstern buys a soul at the Market and a young Jace Wayland’s soul finds safe harbor. In the Market is hidden a lost heir and a beloved ghost, and no one can save you once you have traded away your heart. Not even Jem.

Why You Should Watch My Love Story! In the world of television, romantic comedies are fairly common. Most shows of this genre tend to feature the same tropes and characters over and over again.

Love In The Villa
Two strangers -Mortal enemies. A turf war - Apologies. Enemies to friends. A misunderstanding. A profession of love - Passionate lovers - The end. Sound familiar. Yes! Like every romcom that ever was. But what would make this one stand out from the crowd? I'll tell you. It's the ambience, the history, the lovely sights and sounds, the poetry, and the celebration of fine wine and Shakespeare. Love in the Villa is a delightful movie for lovers of rom-com, travel, history, fine wine, poetry, and literature. The scenic locations, wine, spats, crazy taxi drivers, and other quirks all add to the beauty of this movie. If you enjoyed watching A Perfect Pairing, you will definitely love this movie.

My Review of "Hellboy (2004)"
Hellboy (2004) was state of the art almost 20 years ago and it still looks great today. It's a prime example of how really good practical effects and makeup can pass the test of time. There's so much to like about this movie and a few things that kind of knock it back a few pegs. I'm glad I was able to revisit this film for my new impressions of it.

Love is Strange Lacks Cohesion Despite Gay Marriage Injustice Portrayed
If you randomly get plopped down in a movie theater, there’s a real good chance that the barrier of faster than light travel has been breached, a car chase will defy the laws of physics or a superhero will fret his place in the world as he reluctantly avenges evil. But just because a movie is down to earth and leaves the screen free of an endless stream of pyrotechnics, doesn’t mean you got to fall all over it to show off your sophistication.

House of the Dragon Ep. 7
House of the Dragon has been on an upward swing as the show has gone on (thanks to more women involvement behind the camera). That said with the emergence of women who are treated as actual characters you get truly terrible people. Alicent is on my last damn nerve and Rhaenerya continues to have my heart, as we enter the latter half of the season curiosity builds as to where they are going to leave us. So here we go with episode 7…
