Two Comical K-Dramas to Watch in December
While cramming last-minute information into my brain during finals, I have found two new Korean dramas to distract me from my studies. Needless to say, it was the best procrastination tactic that I had ever taken because now I am hooked on a fishing line, and I am not going anywhere. Without further ado, let’s get into this “persuasive” article.

A Cry for Humanity That Would Not Be Answered
Patty Jenkins' WW1984 evolves the story of its Heroine Diana Prince, flashed forward from WWII to the exuberant and indulgent '80s. A stark contrast to where we last found our hero.

Books to Check Out: Top 10 Reads of 2020
I love reading, like, a lot. This year, I challenged myself to read 50 books, and I ended up reading 56. In 2021, I'm aiming for 60. There were a ton of amazing books I got into, and I couldn’t help but rank the top ten that I’ve discovered this year. To be clear, these aren’t all books published this year; these are simply ten amazing books that I finally got around to reading. There’s a wide range here, and some I won’t discuss as much, as they’ve been covered in my other “Books to Check Out” reviews. I started that little segment in August and I intend to keep it up. That means I’ll have even more awesome books for the future. So, without further ado, I’ll get to this top ten list.

Wonder Woman 1984 provides a solid sequel hurt by a bloated runtime
The following is a spoiler free review of the film Wonder Woman 1984. The ninth DCEU film has been delayed so many times it seems like the highly anticipated title was announced ages ago. Now that Wonder Woman 1984 has finally arrived, fans have the option of viewing the movie in theaters or in the comfort of their own home compliments of HBO Max.

Wonder Woman 1984 Review
The new Wonder Woman is finally here! And as always the internet has brought out the worst in people that have no constructive, coherent or intelligent opinions. Was the movie good? Undeniably. Was it better or even on par with the first one? Unfortunately not, but let's be honest, the feelings, raw emotion and cultural impact of the first one simply can not be duplicated. However 1984 was raw, real, emotional and as comic accurate as we can expect from movie adaptations so here we go.

My Review of "Guest House"
Guest House is a 2020 comedy and I'm not entirely sure how they got it greenlit. There's some old school comedy that I recognize from the 90's but it's not exactly a great thing. Some of the jokes in this movie are truly outdated and needed to be reread before someone approved them. How did any studio think this would be okay to release to the public? I was very close to not finishing this movie because of how bad it was. There was this thing inside of me thinking that it has to have at least one good moment but that moment never came.

‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Review — A Disappointing Follow-Up
I had bought tickets to see this film in the theater with my siblings, but with the increasing coronavirus cases, I decided it would be best to refund my tickets and watch the film on my TV on HBO Max instead. And despite my passionate love of the theatrical experience, I don’t regret my decision.

Greenland (2020)
Just please give us a call if you find out anything when you get there. Like where we can go to be safe. Nothing like a decent disaster movie every now and then. A film that can satisfy the disaster tourist in you. The number of such films that have already been made is countless. The causes of global destruction are varied. There were devastating earthquakes (“Earthquake” and only recently “San Andreas”) that lifted up plateaus and ripped apart entire metropolises. Boats that sank because of a huge wave (“The Poseidon Adventure”) or a stray lump of ice (“Titanic”). Erupting volcanoes (“Dante’s Peak”), oncoming ice ages (“The Day after Tomorrow”), tsunamis (“Lo Imposible”), or (and more appropriately at the moment) a rapidly spreading, deadly virus (“Contagion”). The storyline of such disaster films is generally the same. In the first place, you already know what’s going to happen and so you wait patiently for the catastrophic moment to kick in. Next, you’re witnessing the effects of the announced disaster. And secretly you feel that blissful moment realizing you are only a silent witness and not physically present. And each time, it ends well for the protagonists (with some random victims though). They manage to escape death in a miraculous way. Such films usually end with apocalyptic images that show how devastating it all was.

‘Soul’ Review — Deeply Moving
Pete Docter, the director of Pixar classics such as Monsters, Inc., Inside Out, and my personal favorite, Up, has released his newest fantasy comedy-drama, Soul. This film premieres on Disney+ today and it follows Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), a jazz musician working as a middle school band teacher who finally gets the gig of his life.

My Review of "The Muppet Christmas Carol"
The Muppet Christmas Carol is as fun as the title indicates. It came out back in 1992 when movies weren't quite as political as they are nowadays. The movie pretty much follows the classic story to a T but with the quirky Muppet twist to things.
