'Glass' Shreds Story
The opening images of Glass tease a movie that will hold the interest of its audience. But like a straight boy flirting with a gay man, it fails to deliver on its promise. After seeing an advanced screening of the movie, the only thought was how in the world did M. Night Shyamalan make an over bloated movie not worth the price of admission? Answer: he funded it himself.

'A Man For All Seasons'
Robert Massimi. A Man For All Seasons at The Acorn Theater is a play about Sir Thomas More not yielding his beliefs about God nor mankind. Set in 1530, King Henry the Eighth wants a divorce from his wife, (she cannot produce a son) for the King. More, who has been promoted to Chancellor, lives a very good life with his family. A lawyer by trade, he is the most respected of all the clergy. The King trusts him, as do many of the Catholic religious order. More (Michael Countryman) see trouble brewing, however. More is not only a humble, pious man, but one who can read through people. He knows that the King will want his blessing on his divorce. As More stays silent on the subject, his wife Alice (Carolyn McCormick) presses him to speak on behalf of the King. Sir Thomas, never one to be intimidated, stays mum to the end and loses it all, his home, family and his freedom.

'You,' A Review of the Creepy and Cute
The story of the new Netflix series You starts off as a typical "boy meets girl" story. A girl enters a bookstore, a boy watches her from across the room. Notices the clothes she's wearing and presumes things about her, things that he would like in a partner. At first it may seem creepy but in this day and age who isn't a little creepy? The story goes on to show the main character Joe as charismatic, attractive and sweet. What becomes problematic to me as a viewer is learning more and more about Joe as the story progresses and little to nothing about his conquest and current target Beck. Beck seemingly gets her own episode where we learn a little more, but is it enough?

'A Dog's Way Home'
Before I dive in, let me first start by saying if you haven’t seen this movie yet, be sure to bring some tissues with you when you do. I can’t remember the last time I spent nearly the entire two hours of a movie with tears rolling down my face that couldn’t be stopped. Before you read any further, I must warn you, there will be spoilers if you have not seen this movie. If you don’t mind knowing about things that happen in the movie, please continue reading. However, if you would prefer to see the movie first, I would like to invite you to go do so now and then come back to read this article. All of the following content is my opinion from the film, and I would like to remind you now that everyone sees things from a different perspective.

Review of 'You'
I've been hearing a lot about You recently—originally on Lifetime, more recently binge-able on Netflix—usually along the lines of "I didn't like it at all, but I couldn't help watching it." Count me as someone who also couldn't help watching it, but/because I liked it a lot. Indeed, pathbreaking, revelatory, and tour de force are not too much to say about it. Including that last episode, and that jolt of an ending.
