Don’t Hate On The Sidekick, and Other Gripes
We used to say we liked or didn’t like something, now that language is so much harsher and it’s pulling me down. I recently watched Shang-Chi and have to say I really enjoyed it. Yes I am a Marvel fan, in fact at one time avidly consumed a great number of Marvel comics though that was quite a number of years ago. I am also a fan of action movies, I really enjoy watching and dissecting fight sequences. To this end I have seen a number of posts come across my social media feeds that are trying to harsh my buzz of enjoyment, though the one by the bus driver dissecting the bus fight scene, with a knowledge of busses, and the San Fran streets was actually accurate and funny.

My Review of "Tick, Tick... Boom!"
Tick, Tick... Boom! is actually a musical based on the life of the author of the musical. Through some unfortunate circumstances this author wasn't able to see the fruits of his labor. That's why this movie is valuable in describing the importance of his work and his life.

My Review of "Golden Arm"
Golden Arm is a little bit of a surprise for me. I didn't realize it was released in 2020. When it showed up on Crave's streaming service I was curious what it was. Once I read the summary of the story I knew this was the movie for me.

My Review of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". Top Story - November 2021.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a long awaited Ghostbusters sequel that I've been waiting a while to see. This franchise has a special place in my heart as I have some history with this movie and after seeing this movie I can say I was a little choked up at certain parts. For those that didn't like Star Wars Awakens I think you might want to stay away from this movie though.

Alphabet Squadron by Alexander Freed
For reference, I actually listened to the audiobook for this one, so there will be some notes about the soundscape and orchestration later on and I don't want you to think I was singing stuff while reading (though it's fine if you want to do that too.)

Rant Review: "He's All That"
As a young adult I did grow up watching She's All That basically on repeat when I was feeling upset. Hey, it was my comfort movie okay? People have been and like to be really rough on Addison Rae, and I really do not know why. In this little rant review we're going to sit down and talk about this face to face.

Army Of Thieves
Spoiler Alert: If you haven't watched this movie, beware there are spoilers ahead I thoroughly enjoyed watching Army of Thieves. It is funny, animated and the cast energetic and captivating especially Gwendoline and Sebastian. Army of Thieves is essentially another heist movie about lovable and amiable thieves seeking adventure (and your money and valuables) without actually harming anyone. Though not cut in the mold of serious heist movies like Money Heist, Army of Thieves does give some Lupin and Oceans vibes where the lovable protagonists run rings around the police and intelligence agencies while executing their heist.

Comfort Film: Someone Great
I am under no delusion that Someone Great is a masterpiece, if I claimed that it would be a straight-up lie. What I can argue with absolute confidence is that this film is an underrated Netflix original gem that despite what some people assume is not a love story, and that's why it's my main comfort film. Overall I have three films that I consider comfort films which basically means I watch them specifically to bring me joy. A classic and certainly one of the greatest films of all time is Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park passes the Bechdel test, it features Jeff Goldbloom as the damsel in distress whilst badass Laura Dern is saving the day and it has dinosaurs, tell me that isn't a good time. My second comfort film is Kong: Skull Island and honestly I don't have a super in depth explaination for this one I just find it unexpectedly funny and Brie Larson is hot. But Someone Great is my favourite comfort film mostly because I never tire of it and every time I watch it I feel so happy.
