Anime Review: 'My Roommate is a Cat' (2019)
I’m a dog person and even I found this series irresistible! Story Subaru is a very talented, but reclusive author. He much prefers being by himself, with his books and writing, than actually dealing with anyone else. After losing his parents in an accident, Subaru is truly alone in the world… that is, until one afternoon when he visits his parents grave and meets a stray cat. Deciding to take it home, Subaru and his new roommate, Haru, form an unlikely bond and become more than just roommates, they become family.

'Alien Warfare'–A Review (Netflix)
It was calling me; when a film registers two point four on IMDB, it is begging to be reviewed. Begging I tell ya! The opening credits, which looked like they were knocked up on a budget PC, are woeful. They are, mercifully, short. Unfortunately, the film begins. Whoa, it’s terrible. I am writing this as I watch the film and it’s painful.

'Shazam!' Is a Hilarious Superhero Film and Is One of the DCEU's Best
And he caressed her body slowly, taking in a deep breath as he stared longingly at her—oh, shit. Sorry. Wrong article. Umm.... so, anyways, I watched a new movie recently and I'm gonna review it now. Let's just get to the review.

'The Mule' (2018)
Family’s the most important thing.Work’s fine, if it’s in second position.But first position should be family. The Old Man and the Gun might be the piece de résistance of Robert Redford. The Mule might be the grand finale in Clint Eastwood’s career. This legendary actor looks shockingly old. I even felt sorry for him at certain times. The way he was treated is inconsistent with the image you have of him in other movies. I hoped that as a veteran, he would use a few handy fighting movements to silence the arrogant cartel members. Forget it. Clint Eastwood stayed loyal to his role as a submissive and defenseless elderly person who does what he’s told. But you can rest assured, Mr. Eastwood is and remains a brilliant and respectable actor. There’s no praise great enough when it comes to his acting talent. And this tough, almost 90-year-old man may slide the director’s chair under his weathered butt for many years because as a producer he made a few great movies as well (such as Trouble with the Curve, Sully, and American Sniper).

'Unicorn Store' - A Review (Netflix)
If you are a fan of the MCU (like me), and watch a lot of the press and promotional stuff online, in the run-up to an upcoming release, you may have noticed an unlikely friendship develop between a couple of the MCU's biggest stars.

Problems with 'Gossip Girl'
Netflix has become more popular than television, and now it has more shows that are interesting, and above all, no commercials. I enjoyed watching the series Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars, they helped filled the void of my drama-less life. When I finished watching both those shows, I found myself flipping through Netflix trying to find something good to watch. I started to watch Gossip Girl and halfway through season two I could not stand to watch it anymore, because of how the characters acted like they were already adults, when realistically they were rich high school kids.

'The Game Plan'—A Movie Review
I wonder what’s on Joe Kingman’s agenda for today. Football practice, ballet, and learning he has a child. Boy, this will be quite a day. Better get him some coffee.

Manga Review
I'm very choosy when it comes to what manga to read, but I tend to lead towards stories with mature themes. These books are usually full of sex and violence, although some just have their fair share of 'Ecchi.'

My Review of 'Paddington 2'
Paddington 2 came out last year and quite honestly, I didn't expect a sequel to Paddington. The first movie was a surprise hit. I was one of the doubters thinking that it wouldn't succeed, but after I watched it, I understood why it did so well. It was a self contained origin story of Paddington the bear. It had tons of heart, charisma, and joy spread throughout the movie. I didn't think that they'd be able to capture the spirit of the first movie because the first movie had such a sense of innocence that pulled in the audience.

"I Got 5 On It": The Top Five Reasons Why 'Us' Is a Modern Day Masterpiece
5. The "Hands Across America" Idea Resonates The idea to juxtapose a small family unit with entire swaths of the United States stands out as a monumental thought. Peele conceived this notion as a way of communicating the ironic disconnect that the campaign became. People didn’t commit less crime, folks still went to work and school, and everyone wished that Purell had been invented before 1988 to sanitize their paws.

Mrs. Murray's Menagerie is a play based on six participant's in a survey, a proctor, and his assistant. The proctor asks the six adults who have children to asses the children's program, Mrs. Murray's Menagerie. The show is a 90 minute, intermissionless play that has a lot of comedy to it.
