My Review of "Black Widow"
Black Widow had finally come out in 2021 after so many delays. It wasn't the movie's fault it was the whole pandemic thing that was happening in the last year and a half. I wasn't sure how this movie was going to play out because this movie was coming out after Avenger's End Game. If anyone remembers that movie they would remember that Black Widow had passed away.

Why "Cry Macho" is a Mediocre Outing From a Great Filmmaker
Note: There are minor spoilers ahead! You have been warned. The new Clint Eastwood movie arrived in theaters this past September to a relatively low box office perfomance and pretty mediocre reviews. As a fan of the iconic actor/director myself, I took the reviews with a grain of salt. I thought the idea of Eastwood potentially taking on an issue such as toxic masculinity would be pretty cool, especially considering many toxic men use Eastwood as a model for the "Shut up and take it like a man" mantra. But, after seeing the movie myself, I can say that it was indeed pretty mediocre. Let me try and explain why.

Project A-Ko - Anime Review
When I was about thirteen years old, I started to move away from cartoons. The animated X-Men series was about the only thing I was watching at that point, and the occasional Simpsons, but even those weren’t that often anymore. I was more into the live action stuff, especially the cheesy science fiction.

My Review of "What If: Season One"
What If: Season One has just finished up in 2021. It started airing right after the Loki: Season One. This wasn't done by accident. Everything all somehow eventually makes sense in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at the end. What If is no exception. It's very different but that's what's great about it.

My Review of "Dave Chappelle: The Closer"
Dave Chappelle: The Closer has recently come out this week in 2021. It's the much anticipated stand-up special as it fulfills his stand-up obligation for Netflix. He mentions in this special that this will be the last televised stand-up special he's doing for a while. Knowing this, he went for the jugular and just went at it with a whole slew of jokes that could get him cancelled.

Review of 'All These Bodies'
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake crafts a riveting, true-crime-inspired novel about a teenage girl accused of a grisly string of murders and the sheriff’s son she chooses to confess to. Summer 1958. A gruesome killer has been plaguing the Midwest, leaving behind bodies completely drained of blood. Michael Jensen, an aspiring journalist whose father happens to be the town sheriff, never imagined that the Bloodless Murders would come to his backyard. Marie Catherine Hale, a diminutive fifteen-year-old, is the sole suspect in custody. There’s no way Marie acted alone, but she won’t betray her accomplice. Michael is the only one Marie will talk to, so he agrees to record her side of the story. But her confession calls everything into question. Before Marie faces the ultimate punishment, can Michael separate fact from fiction? Sometimes the truth is as hard to believe as it is to find.

My Review of "Everyone is Talking about Jamie"
Everyone is Talking about Jamie is a movie I accidentally stumbled upon thinking it was based on a television series. You see there's this show from Australia back in the day called Ja'mie Private School Girl. It was about a sociopathic narcissistic private school girl. It was a male actor that played this character. I originally thought this movie was going to be based off this character and I was dead wrong.

The Many Saints of Newark.
"The Many Saints of Newark" Forgetaboutit ! Let me start off by summing up "Saints" in a few words: Terrible. Awful. Horrible. Horrendous. It's fourteen years since we saw "The Sopranos" go off the air so what better time than now to make a film about The Sopranos? The movie, a prequel, is so confusing that one had to keep asking... what the hell is going on here. I cannot begin to tell you what this movie is about. The movie was billed as how Tony Soprano became Tony Soprano. Unfortunately, the movie never comes close to explaining this. Two problems come right to mind why this movie is a failure: the first is that Michael Gandolfini, the real- life 20- year old son of the late James Gandolfini, as young Tony. Michael never comes close to his father, not by way of charisma nor pathos. The second problem is that David Chase co-wrote this flee bitten dog.

Y: The Last Man Series - Review
After receiving critical acclaim and multiple awards, Brian K Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s sixty-issue Vertigo Comics series, Y: The Last Man, spent years in film development under New Line Cinema, one of Vertigo’s sister companies, until the project dissolved in 2014. Now, almost twenty years after its comic debut, FX Productions and Color Force have released the first five episodes of their television adaptation of the post-apocalyptic story. So continues the strange tale of Yorick Brown and his Capuchin monkey Ampersand who together struggle anew to survive through a global mass-androcide event, albeit in an updated medium. It is laudable and fitting to note that FX contracted a largely female writing staff to adapt the comic series along with its creators, and that the showrunner is Eliza Clark, a woman with heavy writing and production credits behind her name. While remaining largely true (thus far) to the structure of the original comic series, Y: The Last Man promises to be as shocking and enthralling in its tv series format as it was on comic pages.
