My Review of "Greed"
Greed is a little known movie that came out in 2019. I'm sure the subject matter was a bit much for some but it's nevertheless true in some ways. Within the message of the movie however is a crazy fictional story that is almost as interesting as the message they are trying to convey.

My Review of "The Bling Empire"
The Bling Empire is a reality TV series that was just released recently in 2021. I'm not a big fan of reality TV shows except if they're for competition. Usually I can identify with competition reality shows because there's real people trying to win some sort of prize. I would kind of categorize these shows more as grand game shows rather than reality TV. This TV show is full on reality TV where it's following the lives of certain individuals. I have never gotten into anything of this sort.

The Love For One's Self
David Owen argues that there are two ways to understand Nietzsche's self-conception - love. David Owen has argued, and I agree there are good reasons for that, but he is wrong on one of them. He is right about the other, but it is not that simple.

Book Review: Shiver Series
The Shiver book series by Maggie Stiefvater, a four book series that dives into the world of Grace and Sam, of Mercy Falls, Minnesota, is a four book series that introduces the reader to a new twist on wolves, or werewolves since they are still partly human. Shiver is the first book of the series, published in 2009, introducing the reader to our characters Grace, bitten by a wolf in her youth, and Sam, her heroic wolf, who saved her when she was a child and still watches over her, from a distance, in his wolf form. The idea is that when a human is bitten by a wolf, specifically a wolf who is also human, the receiver of the bite then goes through their first shift into their new half human, half wolf body. Grace was unable to shift because heat keeps the wolves human and her parents left her in a car that overheated, causing her to delay the shift until she turned 17/18.

‘The Ultimate Playlist of Noise’ Review — A Sentimental Ride
You probably haven’t heard of this movie. It doesn’t have a Wikipedia page, it’s been excluded from most of the 2021 release calendars, and there has been very little marketing. However, this is a Hulu original film that premiered last week, and now that I have seen the film, I don’t know why.

My Review of "Outside the Wire"
Outside the Wire is one of Netflix's newest movies in 2021. This is from the company's promise that they will have a new movie for each week of 2021. There's some nice ideas in this movie but ultimately it feels more like I'm watching a video game's cutscenes all woven together.

"Maniac" the review.
On the occasion I have not heard of, or watched trailers of, a new series that comes out, then there is nothing I enjoy more than just jumping into it blind without preparation otherwise. This mini-series caught me by surprise and gave me a rapt experience. My first viewing of the 10 episode first season was completed in less than 24 hours. Jonah Hill and Emma Stone produce some of the most magical on screen chemistry hearkening back to their younger days as stars in Superbad.

“When Gone am I, Pass on What you have Learned.”: Star Wars as a Reboot
“The Star Wars trilogy was a defining influence in the lives of the audience” (Brooker, 2002, 2), but which Star Wars trilogy was a defining influence depends entirely on the receiver. Were the Star Wars trilogies of 1999-2005 and 2015-2019 in fact reboots and not simply a continuation of the same base story being told in the 1977-1983 ‘original trilogy’?
