My Review of 'Mission Impossible: Fallout'
I'm actually not sure how the Mission Impossible franchise keeps getting me to watch their movies. Each sequel is technically not radically different from one another and I'm not totally into the espionage genre. People do love formulas and if the formula works then keep hitting me with it!

Review - 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'
I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night at the Arclight in Hollywood. The new film by Quentin Tarantino was what I will go out on a limb here and say, was one of his best films he's done since Pulp Fiction. And here's why.

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' Is an Effortlessly Entertaining Blockbuster with Incredible Action Setpieces
I was able to catch this movie at an advance screening. Walked to the theater in the middle of a thunderstorm. Socks were soaked. Lost my glasses in the rain.

Big Toy Commercial
This film has been covered many times by many critics and is the bane of the Batman franchise's existence. Most reputable critics will consider this one of the worst films ever made. It currently has 11 percent on rotten tomatoes and I think 11 percent is out of sympathy. There have been attempts to justify the acid trip of this film. Some say it's a continuation of Adam West's TV show. Some say it was just made to sell toys.

'Before I Fall'
The English language is an ever-expanding, evolving, thing. Words get added, some fall out of the common lexicon. It is the usage of words that generally gets a word committed to language. In the eighties, before there was an influencer or even an internet, Thatcherism was a word absorbed into common parlance by virtue of the British press’ coining of the term over the period of the then prime minister's reign.

'No One Is Forgotten'
Robert Massimi. No One Is Forgotten is an edgy play that deals with woman in jail; it looks at two woman living in "squall-er" (I am presuming in Saudi Arabia, but not sure). The two woman deal with their horrific life behind bars the best way that they can; they make jokes, play trivia and other means to get by. Although it is not made clear that they are activists, the audience can assume it by where the two talk about where they have been in the world—who goes to the Congo or Liberia unless they have to?

'Euphoria' Ep 3. Review and Recap
The third episode of the HBO series Euphoria titled "Made You Look," is centered around the character Kat. In the previous episodes, a video of Kat having sex is leaked, but it quickly goes away. The show ends with Kat on her laptop looking at the video of her on a porn site, and being surprised by the amount of views and positive comments she received. She then is seen clicking on a site where it reads, "Get money for camming." Other information that you need to know before watching the episode is that Rue and Jules have started a very close friendship, but Rue still struggles to stay sober. As Rue and Jules are getting closer Jules begins to talk to some random guy online who is revealed at the end of episode 2 to be Nate.

'Lion King' 2019 Remake
This movie was probably one of the most anticipated movies ever created in reality. Everyone who is anyone knows about The Lion King in some way, shape or form. From the soundtrack, to the characters and the movie itself, for many it is a childhood staple. I will caution from here out there will be major spoilers, so if that does not bother you or you have seen the movie already, continue on.

What I Like About 'You'
As someone who usually advocates for people to read the novel before they watch the movie/ TV show, I have to admit that this isn’t how it happened for me this time. After scrolling through Netflix for what felt like hours, I finally decided to watch some of the trailers that I kept getting notifications about. After about 20 seconds of the trailer, I immediately began watching You and I could not stop. After finishing the first episode, I was completely and totally hooked. Once I found out that the show was based off of a novel, I knew that I had to get my hands on a copy. For me, as much as I loved the show, I found the novel to be far superior. Granted, there were some areas where I think that the show took creative liberties that worked out in the end, but I found the novel to be simply captivating.
