NYFF: ‘Titane’ Review — Beautifully Absurd
This is a movie about a woman who has sex with a car and gets pregnant. It won the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival. I have no words.

My Review of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8"
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 has just wrapped up and the final 10th episode has been released. I for one have loved this franchise for quite some time and it's really sad to see it go. They've been consistently funny season after season and were able to be innovative while retaining some running jokes.

Alix E. Harrow’s sophomore novel, The Once and Future Witches, impresses readers with this fantastical take on retelling history, highlighting the suffrage movement.

Star Wars: Episode II Attack Of The Clones
Part two of the prequel trilogy dives into the mystery of the dark side and how it has been manipulating events over the last decade. Padme has continued her fight for democracy, now in the role of Senator for Naboo and while it is easy to think that her actions have been problematic enough to warrant sending an assassin after her, future revelation diminishes her efforts. This is important, because so much of this saga rests on the purity of the Republic, which as outsiders we already know is pretty corrupt. Padme, the Jedi and other Senators who would fight against the fall of democracy are brushed aside by a few simple words from the most unlikely of sources; Jar-Jar Binks and his prompting of a motion to give Palpaine executive power in the Senate.

My Review of "Spontaneous"
Spontaneous is a pandemic movie that came out in 2020. It was actually released on October of 2020 so this makes me believe the idea and execution of the movie happened before the worldwide pandemic. The themes of this movie are strangely pertinent to what had happened to all of us in the last year and a half.

At the point when American dissidents woke up to a Republican Congress the previous fall, they were similarly stunned to establish that an entire other American culture was flourishing – Rush Limbaugh appropriates the supposed non-typical media wherein the news instead of Peter Jennings and in which William Bennett, not Quentin Tarantino, guidelines. However, considering what we know after Oklahoma City, the actual shortcoming amid the new media and the old currently looks like relatively tame stuff. However numerous moderates and dissidents might fight, they are involved in something similar, albeit aggravated, conversation.

The King of England.
This paper looks to lead an examination of "I served the ruler of England"1 by Bohumil Hrabal by zeroing in on the artistic method for the book and how the principal character acts being an outcast of the way of life.

Review of "Dark and Shallow Lies"
A teen girl disappears from her small town deep in the bayou, where magic festers beneath the surface of the swamp like water rot, in this chilling debut supernatural thriller for fans of Natasha Preston, Karen McManus, and Rory Power. La Cachette, Louisiana, is the worst place to be if you have something to hide. This tiny town, where seventeen-year-old Grey spends her summers, is the self-proclaimed Psychic Capital of the World--and the place where Elora Pellerin, Grey's best friend, disappeared six months earlier. Grey can't believe that Elora vanished into thin air any more than she can believe that nobody in a town full of psychics knows what happened. But as she digs into the night that Elora went missing, she begins to realize that everybody in town is hiding something - her grandmother Honey; her childhood crush Hart; and even her late mother, whose secrets continue to call to Grey from beyond the grave. When a mysterious stranger emerges from the bayou - a stormy-eyed boy with links to Elora and the town's bloody history - Grey realizes that La Cachette's past is far more present and dangerous than she'd ever understood. Suddenly, she doesn't know who she can trust. In a town where secrets lurk just below the surface, and where a murderer is on the loose, nobody can be presumed innocent--and La Cachette's dark and shallow lies may just rip the town apart.

Spider-man 2 (2004)
Despite Into the Spider-verse now taking the place of “Best Spider-man Film,” I still LOVE this movie. Even as a child, I preferred this one over the first one and much more than Spider-man 3. At the time, it was just because I loved Alfred Molina as Doc Ock and the entirety of his character (especially the mechanical arms). Now that I’m older and more cinematically experienced, I have a deeper appreciation for this movie than I did before.

Spider-man (2002)
Is this movie lame? Yep. Does that diminish how awesome it is? Not a chance. Spider-man was one of my childhood heroes. In fact, he was one of the only characters I idolized who was actually a hero. With the trailer for No Way Home having finally come out, I decided it was time to explore these childhood favourites and see how well they held up.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
After reviewing Secret Window, I wanted to tackle another movie that I loved but I kept seeing people (particularly online film critics) say is terrible. After watching Sharknado I knew which movie it had to be. This movie was another of my childhood favourites that I hadn’t seen in years, and since I’ve learned so much since then, and the face of cinema (and especially shark-related cinema) has evolved so much, I wanted to return to this film and see if it still held up.

Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Who’s decision was it to cast Nicholas Cage in a movie where he plays a transient who voluntarily cleans a haunted pizzeria and battles sentient animatronics… only for him not to say a word during the whole film? Whoever made that decision is an absolute genius.
