My Review of "Kenan: Season one"
Kenan is a brand new 2021 comedy series that came out on NBC. You may already know Kenan Thompson of Saturday Night Live fame. He's also had a pretty extensive resume of comedic movies and TV shows before that. Now he's venturing off to do sitcoms.

My Review of "Sweet Tooth"
Sweet Tooth is a pretty high production valued TV series. It was recently released on 2021 on Netflix. There's much talks about this TV series because of the people behind the scenes but that doesn't always make a great TV series. I see a lot of potential in this TV series but I don't think you should watch it until the second season has been completed and I'll tell you why.

The Midnight Sky Review
This review comes from my Letterboxd profile, where I review every movie I watch. You know what, looking at all of the reviews for this movie, I honestly expected it to be liked a lot more than it is. I gotta be honest, this film is probably more of a three-star movie narratively than a four-star one. The green screen is laughably noticeable at times, the narrative is pretty predictable when you really start to think about it, and there are definitely some intricacies between the character interactions that are kind of glossed over here. However, I honestly have to say that I really didn't hate a single choice that this film made, and I even thought quite a few of the choices it made were fantastic. I absolutely adored the exploration of this dystopian universe, seeing the different technology that exists during this time and how it so naturally integrates into the character's lives. I frankly think the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, and the atmosphere of this movie is really palpable throughout -- you can feel the cold of the poles and the peace of the night sky as it envelops itself around you, and I just adored that feeling.

My Review of "Boss Level"
Boss Level is a 2021 bigger budget movie that was exclusive to Hulu for a while. The problem is that you can't get Hulu in Canada so I had to wait for quite some time before it landed on the Amazon Prime streaming app. I have to admit I was pretty excited to watch it because the trailers made it seem pretty much like a cross between Deadpool and Edge of Tomorrow. Two movies that I really enjoyed. For the most part that is but I only consider this a pretty good movie, here's why.

Review of Episode 11 of Nanatsu No Taizai: Fundo No Shinpan
In the previous episode, it was shown that Meliodas escapes from the cocoon before Merlin stops its time and appears as New Demon King before everyone. According to my expectation, Meliodas should have retained his emotions and should have lifted the curse from Elizabeth. But an unexpected thing happened which blew my mind. I couldn’t understand what was happening for a second. Demon King, father of Meliodas and Zeldris occupied Meliodas’s body. He even mocked his son Zeldris when asked him to fulfill his promise. Demon King started to show his wrath which was overwhelming power even Archangels and Seven Deadly Sins. King gets exhausted and returns to his original form. Demon King announces that he would lift the curse of Elizabeth and would kill her afterward. His reason was he wanted to see Meliodas’s reaction after knowing that after these years of struggle, he couldn’t even see Elizabeth in her final moments. He began attacking seven deadly sins. When despair and disappointment were engulfing Nanatsu No Taizai, then Ban comes for rescue in the pinch moment exchanges in physical combat with the demon king. Everyone gets surprised at how much stronger Ban became. But still, that much power is not enough to defeat the demon king. Ban asks his captain, Meliodas whose emotions are entrapped in his body and who is struggling against the spiritual form of demon king to finish the task and come out quickly. With that hope, Meliodas began rising against the spiritual demon king and on other hand, Ban is engaging in physical combat with demon king. It was a wonderful scene because I never expected such a twist in the final moments of war. I was rather expecting a normal conclusion but on the other hand, we got more suspense. When I thought that there might be a chance that demon king will be defeated, the demon king plays dirty and says to Meliodas that Elizabeth is dead and he won’t able to see her again. After listening to this he gets disappointed and he slips into despair. Demon king sees the opportunity and defeats Meliodas. Even Ban got overwhelmed in physical combat. Then Gowther makes a plan to help them and with his power he and other members of seven deadly sins enter into Meliodas mind to aid him fighting against the spiritual form of demon king.

Review of Episode 977 of One Piece Anime
At last, the traitor who always failed the samurai’s plan is revealed. An unexpected incident occurred in episode 977 of the series One Piece. In the present day, Akazaya Nine samurai are at Tokage port waiting for their comrades to fight against Orochi and Kaido but unfortunately, no one appeared and it seemed like their plan was revealed to the enemies beforehand. Unfortunately, they didn't know that they had a traitor among them. When their plan failed everyone began suspecting that they had a traitor among them but they had no option because they were about to get ready for the final battle. Their enemies are outnumbered and they can't fight against 30000 people but still, they are determined to fight. They begin their journey to Onigashima on a small boat to fight alone even though they know that their plan will eventually fail but they still want to avenge their late Lord Oden. While they were on the boat everyone’s suspicion grew and they asked Kinemon to find the traitor first and then proceed to battle but Kinemon refused and said that he won't want to suspect his friends with whom he shared happy and sad moments and he regretted that he couldn't help the person who was forced to spy. He apologized that he couldn't understand the circumstances under which Orochi and Kaido forced that person to act as a spy and to betray his friends and his Lord who helped them a lot. Though it is not a big surprise to the people who have already read the manga still it was a big shock to me when I learned for the first time that the traitor is none other than Kanjuro. Of course, it is a big surprise to everyone for example if the traitor would have been Kawamatsu or Ashura it wouldn’t have been a big surprise but Kanjuro’s betrayal is a shocking incident which I think many might not have handled well. I won't say it is the most tragic thing but it is one of the shocking revelations of the One Piece anime history. When I first learned that Kanjuro is the traitor I couldn't believe that he is but when he told his original name and he belongs to the Kurozumi clan then I understood that he is a traitor and collaborated with Orochi to betray Oden from the beginning. When he revealed himself everyone was in a state of shock, I think most of the audience would have been too. When Kinemon slashed Kanjuro I felt a bit relieved but honestly, he is more sneaky than anyone could ever imagine. He didn't ride with other members of Akazaya Nine rather he remained on the Tokage port waiting for a chance to kidnap Momonosuke because he got an order from Orochi that he has to kidnap Momonosuke and reach Onigashima as soon as possible and to kill the rest of samurais pirates of Animal Kingdom arrived and their cannons were pointed at the small boat carrying only six samurais who only want to avenge their lord’s death. When all hope was lost then the main protagonist of the anime arrived. They are none other than Straw hat pirates and their captain Monkey D. Luffy but this was only the beginning because after that Heart pirates and their captain Trafalgar D. Water Law appeared from the seawater to save samurais from sinking due to the impact of canons and from the opposite side Captain of Kid pirates, Eustass Kid appeared. Now the top three Pirates of the worst generation appeared and are ready to fight one of the biggest battles after the Paramount war that happened 2 years ago at Marineford. This war will eventually change the fate of the world because in this war not only pirates are involved rather samurais of Wano Kuni are there who are trying to change the evil fate that had bestowed upon them around 26 years ago in form of Orochi and Kaido. The fate of the whole country is involved in this battle. If Ninja-pirates-Mink Alliance fails then the land of War will eventually be turned into hell and there will not be any hope for its people in the future and if worst generation pirates succeed in defeating Kaido then you might be seeing the new Emperors of the sea in the future. So till now, no one can say what will happen in the future but still can say one thing is sure that there is a lot of action and suspense in the future episodes. You might be getting to know more and more surprising events.

Why I Loved (And Hated) The Series Finale Of 'Supernatural'
Okay so, I have a bone to pick. First of all, the level of toxic negativity within the fandom about this topic is shameful. Those of you who are needlessly spouting hate onto the series ending just because everyone else is and, god forbid, you have an actual opinion; really? If you dislike something, the logical way to go about talking about it is to give constructive criticism as to how you think it could've done better, not just pointing out all the flaws.
