King Richard - A Movie Review
Never give up your dreams for anything. Stay focused and be confident. Once awards season hits, I am excited to check out the films that have been getting buzz. King Richard is an outstanding film that has a bold message. Always stand your ground. While it’s an astounding feature, I think the film gets turned around on whose story it’s presenting.

Overpowered Protagonists Done Right
I Love Overpowered Protagonists! The anime market these days is over-saturated with titles of overpowered protagonists. It's a well done cliche' most of the time. In this broad scheme there exist popular titles like: Dragon Ball Z, Fairy Tail, and even Sailor Moon if you think about it. The Isekai genre is almost entirely comprised of an overly power and often underestimated protagonist.

My Review of "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (Extended Edition)"
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (Extended Edition) is a movie I never thought I'd ever watch. I loved the Lord of the Rings movies and have watched them several times. The runtime alone on the theatrical releases are pretty darn long. To think I would be watching an extended edition that includes over half an hour of new footage was not in my cards. You never say never though because I finally took the plunge.

Psych 3 left us hanging so bring on Psych 4
Psych: Keeps it coming Psych: The Movie premiered in December 2017 on the USA Network where the original series aired from July 7, 2006, until March 26, 2014. Psych 2: Lassie Come Home followed in July 2020, as a Peacock Original and could be viewed free on the streaming service. Psych 3: This Is Gus arrived in November 2021 but only for those who were paying for Peacock. The third film played out just like the television series and it seemed like old times to the fans. There were some loose ends and Psych-O's are eagerly awaiting the fourth movie to get some answers.

My Life With The Liars - My Thoughts (SPOILER ALERT!)
I was watching a movie last night and I went to bed late, at 12 o'clock in the morning! I wasn't tired though...so since I finished my last book the previous night I wanted to look for something else on the bookshelf. I plucked a book called 'My Life With The Liars', reading the short description on the back briefly and began reading it in bed, unaware of the incredible storyline that would keep me awake for hours.

Book Review: A Court of Silver Flames (ACOSF) by Sarah J Maas
'A Court of Silver Flames' (ACOSF) by Sarah J. Maas does not follow Feyre Archeron, who was our leading lady for the past few books. Instead ACOSF follows Feyre's older sister, Nesta Archeron, and Illyrian warrior and brother of Rhysand, Cassian. Both Nesta and Cassian go on a journey of self-healing and make the transition from enemies to lovers. Now that is not a spoiler, we all saw it coming. And oh wow do they become lovers - this book is spicier than all of the others.

Peacemaker: Ep 4
'Peacemaker' (HBO max series) continues in the same fashion established in the first few episodes; with humorous content, great action, good character work and including very 'woke approved' themes. Unfortunately (in my opinion) it continues to maintain the reliance that Peacemaker has on his handlers - he is definitely more focused on his personal struggles, which is highlighted & compounded by his recurring stupidity. Not enough for me to cease watching (yet), but enough to ensure that I'm regularly considering whether it's consistent for his character definition & development and/or just there to push others into the limelight.

My Review of "Prisoners"
Prisoners is a movie that I've been wanting to check out for a long time. It came out back in 2013. Since then the director Denis Villeneuve has made blockbuster film after blockbuster film. Each one equally as great as the next. I already had high expectations for this movie but I didn't expect to be blown away as I did.

The Triumphs & Tribulations of "Dune"
Hello readers and welcome to 2022! I figured I’d start this new year off with a brand-new film, so let’s delve into why I quite liked Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film… Dune. This piece will tackle the visuals and sounds one usually finds in Villeneuve’s films, we of course need to talk about the star-studded cast, and last but not least, the aspects of the film I didn’t like.

Twister - A Movie Review
Wait, didn’t that cow just fly by a second ago? Twister swept into theaters in 1996. On the brink of a divorce. Instead of signing the divorce papers, Bill joins his old storm chaser buddies and his ex-wife in a series of twisters. Hoping that an advanced weather system will be successful, the future of tornado warnings could be different.

Review of 'Magic Lessons'
A prequel, of sorts, to Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic, Magic Lessons takes us back to where the Owens family troubles began. Maria Owens, a young witch in the 1600s, learns the steep price of magic and unrequited obsession when she is unexpectedly spurned. Perfect for new readers of Hoffman who haven't yet read the previous two books in the series, Magic Lessons is a wonderfully enjoyable entry for both the dedicated fan and the new booklover.
