The Matrix (1999)
Yet another childhood favourite that I’m seeing be remade and, of course, I wanted to give the original some attention before I saw the new one. <i>The Matrix</i> was a fun action movie that I didn’t quite understand then, but I still appreciated the action. Because I’ve grown up now, I’m able to understand some of the finer aspects of the film’s philosophy and psychology. Now, it is true that some things in this movie don’t hold up (such as nitpicky details in dialogue and plot) but, that being said, I still think this movie is just as good, maybe better, than it ever has been. As I understand it, there have been many books published on <i>The Matrix</i> and what, exactly, it means in terms of humanity, choice, and freewill.

No Way Home Is The Best Spiderman Movie
No Way Home is the best spiderman movie Well at least for live action spiderman movies because the spider-verse is incredible, but yeah No Way Home is my new favorite spiderman movie of all time and definitely in the top three of MCU films, which is crazy because looking at the plot on paper seems too wacky to be good. Seriously if you told me that villains from the previous spiderman films (Green Goblin, Dr. Ock, Lizard, Sandman, and Electro) was going to come back, and Andrew and Tobey’s spiderman are going to pop in with Tom Holland’s spiderman, and there would be Dr. Strange and a cameo from a certain someone all in one damn movie? I would have laughed. Then on top of it all liked it? Yeah right.

Top 10 Un-Christmas Movies. Top Story - December 2021.
One of my favourite parts of this season is the movie binge. But one of my least favourite things about all the movie choices I'm given, is they're just too... well, Christmassy!

Stephen Merchant: An Outlaw After My Own Heart
So, there's been a ton of talk of Stephen Merchant's series "The Outlaws." Co-created with Christopher Walken (who recently became a fan of Stephen's after working with him on set) it's basically about surprisingly normal "criminals" completing community service. Once you hear "I Fought the Law (and the Law One)" in the trailer, you know you'll be in for a crazy ride. I knew I was!

Aoyama Is THE Traitor After All.
Once again, the fans were right about My Hero Academia. As it turns out Yuga Aoyama was, and is, the traitor of U.A. High. Why does this not come off as shocking as it should?

My Review of "Spider-Man: No Way Home"
Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally been released. It's been a hotly anticipated movie for quite some time. I remember back when the pandemic first started we had rumblings and rumors about what this sequel would entail. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on who you ask) most of those rumors have come to fruition.

My Review of "The Masked Singer: Season 6"
The Masked Singer: Season 6 has just wrapped up and if you don't already know who won well it's pretty difficult not to know by now. There were a few tweaks here and there that made this season a pretty good season. I think they've been listening to some of the suggestions I had made from the previous seasons because I noticed a lot of my complaints were addressed in this season.
