'The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run' Review—A Disappointing Adventure
When your film is blessed with the presence of Keanu Reeves, and it still isn't a good movie, that is not a good sign. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run is the third animated comedy in the SpongeBob film series based on the famous Nickelodeon cartoon. This is yet another film that was scheduled for a theatrical release but is getting a digital release. 2020 has not been a good year.

My Review of "Train to Busan"
Train to Busan is a movie that's talked about a lot in terms of zombie movies. It came out back in 2016 and man does it elevate the zombie movie genre. It talks about a lot of societal problems that we have today but it is mainly a focus on the characters of the movie. I am definitely a sucker for movies where you gradually see characters change from one extreme to another and this is one of them. The charm of all of the characters outweigh the black and white predictability of this movie.

My Review of "Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm"
Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm has recently come out and quite strategically I might add. It was released a week or two before the 2020 American presidential elections. The previous movie had explored some of the social divides spread across America. He also pushed the envelope as to what is socially acceptable in American society. It was a pretty big turning point in pop culture when the first movie hit.

My Review of "The Boys: Season 2"
The Boys: Season 2 starts off just where it ended off last season. In the first season Hughie and the rest of the gang are running off as fugitives. Their fearless leader had disappeared to find his estranged wife raising his enemies child. Homelander seemed to be pretty much unstoppable by the end of that season. It was kind of a really bleak ending but yet it still contained so much potential. That's why this cliffhanger worked so well.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix Feels Pretty Good
Netflix, Poster My study of American History makes me no stranger to the 60s and the Vietnam War. That said, I know very few details about the Chicago 7. In fact, I didn’t even know that Abbie Hoffman was among those on trial. At the same time, I’ve also learned that learning history from the movies is a poor substitute for understanding. So I was reluctant to take my curriculum from the Netflix movie, but with some encouragement, I gave it a go.

‘Megamind’ Is the Best of Both Worlds
Megamind was so underrated when it first came out and it still feels that way today. I can understand why: DreamWorks tends to make pretty juvenile films that target kids with potty humor. Megamind was a breath of fresh air in that endless stream of nonsense.
