How 'Aladdin' in the West End Is Different from the Disney Classic
As a kid, Aladdin was one of my favourite Disney movies, other than Beauty and the Beast. Being a child during the Disney Renaissance era was a privilege, the films that were fresh in those days like The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Hercules are all to this date still considered great films. Aladdin was a great story to me cause it taught me to be myself even when I didn't like myself. The ending to Aladdin was always satisfying because Aladdin was trying too hard to be someone he wasn't only for Jasmine to love him just how he is.

Analyzing One of My Favorite Movies
The film Dead Poets Society is a coming-of-age story that took place at Welton Academy in Vermont. This movie was staged in the 1950s, at a prestigious all-boys academy throughout the fall and winter semester. Dead Poets Society was directed by Peter Weir, and featured many well-known actors such as Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, and Robert Sean Leonard. Robin Williams plays the most influential character in the film, Mr. Keating. As the movie moves along, viewers will begin to realize how Mr. Keating goes against the traditions of Welton Academy, and helps his students grow in their own way, regardless of their parent’s feelings or the schools respected tradition. Dead Poets Society shows the audience new levels of individualism, self-growth, and the effects of stress and pressure from family and peers.

'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum' Makes up for an Average Story with the Best Action Sequences of the Franchise
The newest installment in one of the best action franchises ever made (if I say so myself) has just been released, and I had the pleasure of watching this movie in 4DX, complete with moving seats and wind and rain effects.

'In Family I Trust' - A Review (Netflix)
“When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy.' They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”—John Lennon
