Film review - The Lion King
Many, many years ago, when I was in middle class kindergarten, my mother bought me a VCD of The Lion King. As I recall, it was the first Disney animation I ever saw, and the one I watch most often. I remember the two VCDS that I broke by force.

Lessons From Turkish Drama
Love and its many complexities have been the subject of hundreds of movies and drama series. The constant steam of romantic comedies reminds us that the genre is still a crowd favorite. If for no other reason, they serve to keep audiences constantly amused. Bay Yanlis (Mr. Wrong) is a classic romantic comedy story of how Mr. Wrong meets Miss. Unlucky in Love. Throw into that mix, jealousy, envy, betrayal, distrust, hate, sibling and family rivalry, blackmail, treachery, and every other ingredient for explosive drama and you have a series sure to keep you laughing till the very end.

My Review of "Father Stu"
Father Stu is a little known movie that came out in 2022. Some might not have seen the movie because it deals with Catholicism. I like these types of movies because they're usually pretty inspiring. This movie was no different. I myself am not incredibly religious but I understand the concepts that they try to portray in this movie. They are pretty good lessons and I am definitely here to watch.

My Review of "Calvin Harris: Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2". Top Story - August 2022.
Calvin Harris: Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 has recently been released. The album is a nice sequel to the first Vol. 1. If you're familiar with the type of songs with Vol. 1 you will be right at home with Vol. 2. Nothing has really made this album that much different from Vol. 1 but that's not necessarily a bad thing either. You know what you're going to get into and you'll be satisfied with the results.

She-Hulk, The Honest Review. Top Story - August 2022.
For the most part, I’m ignoring everything around the show, cast and crew interviews for the most part aren’t relevant. The whole, “why isn’t Bruce called He-Hulk” nonsense just isn’t relevant to the show, but there are a few bits that are so telling when you watch this show.

House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon was released this last weekend and I have many, many thoughts… This series is adapted from a book and takes place 172 years before the birth of Dany aka the love of my life. Now the only reasons I am watching this show are because I love the Targaryens (meaning I love Dany), and because Matt Smith is in it and he is my favorite Doctor. With an all male productions team trying to tell a women's story I am going into this series very very cautious, and skeptical. I, of course, took stream of consciousness notes so here we go;

#60yearsofJamesBond: Die Another Day
Few Bond films stoke quite the reaction that "Die Another Day" does. The final Bond film to feature Pierce Brosnan was controversial from its release in 2002, and has remained so in the twenty years since. Many fans take issue with a number of elements of this film, including, but not limited to: the plot, the characters, the direction, the acting, the product placement, the CGI, the humour and the gadgets. That's quite a list, sure, but, perhaps, "Die Another Day"'s problems stretch quite a bit deeper. As the first Bond film of the 21st century, "Die Another Day" should have shown how Bond could survive in a new and changing world, with a cinema landscape that was radically different to the one the franchise had emerged into forty years previously. Instead, it reignited the debate that had seemed to have been settled back in the early 90s about Bond being outdated, and that maybe it was time to move on from this 60s stereotype of British masculinity. And it is hard to argue that this film gives this impression: far from being a celebration of the franchise's forty year history, this film nearly kills that legacy by being pretty much a train wreck from beginning to end.

10 Underwhelming And Insufferable Books To Avoid
If you want to read my other list of books that suck, you can: here. Also, if I attacked one of your beloved, most cherished books, just know that you are not alone—others have similarly witnessed their favourite books publicly shamed and ripped to shreds (except for a couple of incidents, maybe) by me. I look forward to hearing what you all have to say in the comments! Happy reading!
