Songs of Suffering: A Vital Script
I have a degree in theatre. Did you all know that? I feel like I don’t bring it up enough. For the past four years, I’ve studied and analyzed dramatic literature, mostly for a passing grade. I have also written several plays, and belong to the Dramatists’ Guild and New Play Exchange. As a result, I have read bits and pieces of new work, one such piece being Songs of Suffering: A Torture Play by contemporary playwright Nolan Barrett Nightingale. (That is his real name. Trust me, I’ve checked.) Anyway, the more I think on it, the more I realize Songs of Suffering is a piece born out of generational anxiety, and I want to work through that anxiety a little bit by exploring the themes of the script. Be aware, this article may contain spoilers for the piece, so if you are planning on reading it, you can purchase a PDF from Smith Scripts here.

My Review of "John Wick: Chapter 2"
John Wick: Chapter 2 came out back in 2017. It was a bit of a surprise that it came out but it wasn't at the same time. I don't think the movie studio expected the first movie to do quite as well as it did because this movie took 3 years to come out after the first. Still the first one ended off pretty open ended and warranted a sequel. We just never thought it would actually come out.

Emily in Paris - Netflix Show Review
Once again Netflix has blessed us with another trend-worthy original to sink our teeth into. Somehow I still haven't learned that I can't resist these sorts of TV shows. Time and time again I saw adverts for it before I eventually just conceded and binge-watched the series a couple of days ago. The trailer had already leveled my expectations to a certain degree, and lets just say that what I got was fairly standard for this sort of TV show.

Ghostbusters (1984) - A Movie Review
When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, who are you going to call? Ghostbusters haunted its way into theaters in 1984. A group of men creates a business that removes ghosts from the public. Having their challenges along the way, an evil ghost threatens to take over all of New York.

My Review of "John Wick"
John Wick came out in 2014 and I have bought a number of versions of this movie. I first watched this movie on DVD but then I bought the movie on Blu-ray because I loved the step up in visual resolution. Now in 2020 I had to see what this movie would be like in 4K and I wasn't disappointed.

My Review of "Skyscraper"
Skyscraper came out in 2018 and it stars Dwayne Johnson. It can easily be misidentified as another movie he had made back in 2015 called San Andreas. There are some similarities but ultimately they are entirely different movies. San Andreas dealt with a whole city falling apart whereas this movie dealt with one falling building. The similarities lie in the main character's focus throughout the movie.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
The second Borat movie starring Sacha Baron Cohen was released on October 23rd 2020 and can be viewed on Amazon Prime. This comedy film was released 14 years after the first Borat movie. (I would recommend watching the first movie before viewing the new film.)

'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' Review—Very Niiiice. Top Story - October 2020.
Never in my entire life have I witnessed such a terrible film. It has a horrible performance from Sacha Baron Cohen, and it doesn't have a single funny moment. It's one of the worst movies of the year....NOT!!!

Review of 'Kingdom of the Wicked'
Two sisters. One brutal murder. A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself... And an intoxicating romance.

Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden. Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia's side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women's murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems...
