The Complex Badder
The Baader Meinhof Complex is a 2008 German movie coordinated by Uli Edel dependent on a smash hit genuine book of a similar title written by Stefan Aust. On the 2d of June 1967, the Shah of Iran and his better half visited West Germany, which prompted road fights. So naturally, west German understudies are irritated by the Shah's strategy and don't keep offering their viewpoint through activity. But, unfortunately, it doesn't end well for one of them: an unarmed dissident Benno Ohnesorg is shot to death by a cop.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021)
I usually enjoy anything that has Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s name attached to it and this film is no exception. Every moment is packed with heart-wrenching emotion, side-splitting hilarity, wonderful visual gags and symbolism, and fleshed out, three dimensional characters. The theme and plots, if I’m being honest, are cliched, but nothing to sneeze at, and are done in new and inventive ways. I went into this movie without having seen any trailers, any articles, even any stills aside from the posters, and I was blown away.

The Fly: Part 1
The kind hypothesis is a significant component of the investigation of film craftsmanship. In any case, individual classifications are frequently summed up and restricted (Raynor, Wall, and Kruger, 2008, p. 2). A film may at the same time have a place with various classifications. The Fly is a body thriller. However, it is also a heartfelt show recounting an anecdote about a researcher discovering love before fostering a terminal sickness (Pheasant-Kelly, 2016, p. 242; Rubinson and Mueller, 2016, pp. 602-603). One of the scenes that delineate this thought is the creepy crawly legislative issues scene. By examining its critical topical and semiotic components, the current paper will address the accompanying inquiry: how does the film investigate the subject of fatal sickness and its effect on the evil individual and his sweetheart?

Marvel's Magic
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is deserving of every accolade it gets. It's a beautiful film that pays tribute to the martial arts films of the past while also reinventing the genre for a modern audience. Having seen it twice it is visual poetry. Destin Daniel Cretton took what could have been a very cliché heavy film and turned it into a relatable family story. Marvel has an amazing way of taking their obscure characters and shaping them into remarkable figures. Shang-Chi even by the standards of comics is very under the radar. This film is an amazing exploration into culture and dynamic storytelling that is different from any of the Marvel films of the past thirteen years.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
At this point in time, it seems a little redundant to go back over the plot of this movie. However, on the off chance you missed everything that's happened in the Star Wars universe, it's the beginning of the Skywalker saga and Palpatines' rise to power. In fact, one of the things I particularly liked about this movie during my most recent watch through was the way the Senator is already making his move on the power structure of the Republic. His double life as Sith Lord and Politician are really well divided in McDiarmid's performance, and he keeps just a hint of the sinister about him when performing his political duties.

My Review of "Kate"
Kate is one of Netflix's latest action films to come out in 2021. I was a little at odds with this movie because it looks like another Last Samurai movie. It had white savior written all over it especially since it's story takes place in Japan. The weird thing is that this movie takes itself seriously and is somewhat aware of itself at the same time.

The Old Guard
Introduction There was so much social media frenzy about the movie 'The Old Guard'. It was massive — a lot like the build-up to the ‘Extraction' movie. Not a surprise considering Netflix is not known for doing quiet or small. They tend to go big or go home. I really hoped it would be worth the hype and guess what, it was.

Review of 'The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina'
Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman, Isabel Allende, and Sarah Addison Allen, this is a gorgeously written novel about a family searching for the truth hidden in their past and the power they’ve inherited, from the author of the acclaimed and “giddily exciting” (The New York Times Book Review) Brooklyn Brujas series. The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low or empty, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers—even for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. Instead, Orquídea is transformed, leaving them with more questions than answers. Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly’s daughter, Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings. But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. Determined to save what’s left of their family and uncover the truth behind their inheritance, the four descendants travel to Ecuador—to the place where Orquídea buried her secrets and broken promises and never looked back. Alternating between Orquídea’s past and her descendants’ present, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is an enchanting novel about what we knowingly and unknowingly inherit from our ancestors, the ties that bind, and reclaiming your power.

My Review of "American Ninja Warrior: Season 13 (2021)"
American Ninja Warrior: Season 13 (2021) is the latest ANW season and boy was it a doozy. There were a number of new faces and tons of familiar faces. That goes the same with all of the obstacles that they placed for our competitors. It was so nice to have this show back with an audience. Little things like this makes me feel a little normal again after this whole pandemic.
