My Review of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a mini series that has recently been released exclusively on the Disney Plus streaming channel in 2021. Not a lot was known about this series just as the first series "WandaVision" but I think that was a great thing. It's surprising to say but Disney Plus has really gotten us excited to watch TV programs again. That's a hard thing to do in today's day and age. With the internet not a lot can be kept secret and yet they where able to keep things tight lipped until the very end.

Belated film reviews: Waiting For Forever
Spoiler alert: This is going to be a more positive review. Hurray! As I often do, I jumped into 2010's rom-com Waiting For Forever with a two-line premise I found on Google and, this time around, a wider knowledge of the cast. I usually don't base my decisions to watch films on who stars in them, but I recognised Rachel Bilson on the poster and, as a The O.C and Hart Of Dixie fan, I was excited to see her in something else. See, I love Rachel Bilson. She is most famously known for her portrayal of Summer Roberts in The O.C, the quintessential 00s girl. Summer was never as dumb as she looked on the surface, always a fashion icon of the times, popular at school but with a heart of gold, just the right amount of sassy, a little bit celeb-obsessed, and all-around adorable. Through Summer, Rachel Bilson encapsulated the 00s at their best. Then, she found herself with the main role in Hart Of Dixie, the one of Zoe Hart, a fast-talking big city doctor who ends up having to move to Bluebell, the tiniest of towns in Alabama. Technically, I started watching it because of her, but then again, Hart Of Dixie has everything I could possibly want from a TV show: a little bit of cheese and a lot of wholesomeness, outstanding fashion, utterly lovable characters, small-town America, pick-up trucks, and just enough drama, sass, and plaid shirts to keep me entertained. I really wish Rachel Bilson had a similar career trajectory as Jennifer Aniston: personifying the core aesthetic of a decade in an iconic TV show, and moving on to be the queen of romantic comedies we deserved.

My Review of "Love and Monsters"
Love and Monsters came out in 2020 and not a lot of movies were coming out at this time. It was a time when all of the big studios held back their big releases and we were desperate for good content. That's why I'm so impressed with the quality of this movie. However this movie does remind me of Zombieland that came out back in 2009. This movie just speaks to a new generation of kids.

My Review of "Independence Day"
Independence Day is one of the biggest movies that had come out back in 1996. It was one of the big blockbuster movies that put Will Smith on the map and was at the height of the Jeff Goldblum era. I was merely a teenager when I saw it the first time and I loved it. 25 years later I wasn't sure if this movie would translate quite as well. Would it be the nostalgia that would keep me interested or is it actually still an entertaining movie today?

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER: Episode 5 Review
Well, what a change of pace! Episode 5 closed a lot of chapters and set everything up for next week's finale. As predicted, our protagonist John Walker goes full berserk after taking the serum. He definitely "becomes more of himself", and his insecurities get the best of him. Cue in the awkward three-way fight scene where three grown men for their favourite toy. I might be a little unfair, though I did think it looked a little ridiculous.

My Review of "Save Yourselves"
Save Yourselves is probably a movie that you've never heard of. I've never heard of this movie until it popped up on my streaming radar. The premise of the story had me hooked right away. I love disaster movies and I like comedies so why not have the two together. The only thing is it's a different type of comedy that I'm starting to see more often.

My Review of "The Stand In"
The Stand In came out very quietly in 2020. I haven't heard of the movie until it became available for stream on Netflix. What I thought would be a predictable movie ended up as... a predictable movie. At least it has some interesting messages throughout the movie. Not everyone will like this type of humor but I think I understood what they were trying to get at.

Belated film reviews: Two Night Stand
I really, really hate that thought, you know. "Is it just me?" It's never just you. Never ever. It's like those viral tweets that read: "Is it just me, or does anyone else like summer better than winter?" It's not just you, it's also hundreds of thousands of people, Karen.

Gotham: Jerome vs. Jeremiah Valeska
Now I know there has been this everlasting stand-off between the Valeska brothers ever since the beginning. Jerome was first introduced in the first season, episode 16. “The Blind Fortune Teller”. This is where Jim Gordon investigates the murder of Jerome’s mother at Haley’s circus, later to discover that it was Jerome that had killed her. Jeremiah was first introduced in season four, episode 17. “Mandatory Brunch Meeting”. After Jerome escapes Arkham for the second time, he hunts down a man named Xander Wilde who we learn is actually his brother’s alias. Upon learning that Jerome is hunting for Xander Wilde, Jim and Harvey seek out Jeremiah’s bunker without knowing that he is Jerome’s twin brother. When the secret is revealed, Jim and Harvey insist that Jeremiah must return with them to the station to be put under protective custody. At least until they catch Jerome. Little did they know that Jeremiah had already caught Jerome and had place him in a room with absolutely no escape.
