My Review of "Work It"
Work It is definitely what you'd expect from a run of the mill dance movie. It's got all of the usual themes that you would expect from it. A family aspect, a relationship aspect and a realization of priorities in the main character's personal life. What makes this movie succeed is the animated characters that are brought to the screen by a dynamic cast of amicable actors.

My Review of "2 Minutes of Fame"
2 Minutes of Fame came out all of a sudden without too much advertisement. Then again a lot of Netflix exclusives come out like this so I'm not too surprised. It's a welcome addition to the Netflix library in this time of quarantine. It stars a lot of funny people so I expected it to be funny.

An Anime Review of 'Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle for Unato.'
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: Battle for Unato, is the feature film sequel to the series that premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2016. The film was released in the spring of 2019, and is currently available to watch on Netflix. Kabaneri is a series that I have mixed feelings about. There are aspects of it that I really enjoy, the visuals are stunning, the production level is of such a standard that it looks fresh four years later. The soundtrack by Hiroyuki Sawano is so good I still listen to it. The characters have unique designs, unique abilities, and contrasting personalities which makes their interactions very interesting. It was the execution of the main villain, and the methods of which the action set pieces were initiated that I had a majority of my problems with.

She's Dating The Gangster Movie Review
She’s Dating The Gangster She’s Dating The Gangster is a heartfelt love story by Cathy Garcia Molina. It is filled with Laughter and Joy and Tears. Another beautiful performance by love team Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. Even for me, I’m half Filipino and Half American I can only watch the movie with subtitles but each and every time. I laugh, I cry, and I learn to understand love more. This movie never disappoints me to make me cry like all Filipino movies they are emotional and have a beautiful heartfelt message. She's Dating The Gangster is on Netflix in America it is one of the many amazing filipino movies on Netflix!

My Review of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: Season 7"
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: Season 7 was kind of a long anticipated season. It happened during the pandemic and what better timing for it to have happened. I haven't ever been a huge Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D fan but I have seen all the episodes of the whole series. I didn't enjoy all of them it was more of a thing to watch with my brother. Through the years I've come to know the characters and the backstories so the S.H.I.E.L.D family kind of grew on me.

I Nitpick and I know it
All right. All right. I like science fiction from the old black and white popcorn flicks to Star Wars and Star Trek. When I first heard about Discovery, I was skeptical. I didn't even watch it and after awhile I was sort of glad I did. I know how can I judge something I haven't even watched all the way through? Two words: Blue Klingons. So I skipped Discovery. Maybe one day I'll at least watch the first episode but that day isn't any day soon.

Persona (1966) Review
It is true that part of the reason I chose this film is that it shares its title with a song (and album) that I enjoy. But also, psychology is something I find fascinating. I don’t think I could handle a full course in it, but I do enjoy learning about it and occasionally theorising with friends (or friend).

My Review of "Animal World"
Animal World is a really odd movie that me and my brother decided to watch out of a misunderstanding. The description of the movie sounded like a comedy so we were expecting a full out comedy. Alas it turned out to be something totally different from what we had expected. We honestly thought it was going to be a Stephen Chow type of comedy akin to the God of Gamblers series. When I explain it you'll realize why.

An Anime Review of 'Dorohedoro'
Dorohedoro is an anime that is produced by studio MAPPA, and is based on the manga that ran from 2000 till 2018. The concept of the show is quite intriguing as it revolves around a man with a lizard head who is trying to find the person that cursed him so that he could reverse the spell. The caveat is that he does not remember anything from before the point he had his lizard head. This is Kaiman, and he is assisted by his friend Nikaido in his search for said magic user. What unravels is a fever dream that is both intriguing, and a fun time that will more often than not put a smile on your face.

Don't Bother to Knock - A Movie Review
Be sure that you know who is babysitting your children. They could be a psycho. Showing up to babysit in 1952, Don’t Bother to Knock is a thriller about an unbalanced woman hired to babysit for the evening. Catching the attention of a man across the way in the hotel, he walks into one of the most bizarre evenings of his life.

Y’all Seen Neil Breen’s ‘Twisted Pair’?
I like to think that the two best directors on the planet are Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. However, when it comes down to it, Neil Breen has the upper hand. He uses better special effects and has a more engaging plotline in most of his movies than Wiseau. The pinnacle of that expertise has got to be Twisted Pair.
