'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' - A Movie Review
Warning: Spoiler Alert For the past two years I have watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles near Thanksgiving. For those who have not seen Planes, Trains and Automobiles it was a 1987 film directed by John Hughes, starring Steve Martin and the late John Candy. Neal Page (Steve Martin) is in a rush to get home for his Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately plane trips from New York to Chicago are canceled due to snow, the train breaks down, and his rental car is missing. With the help from stranger, Del Griffith (John Candy), audiences are in for a wild ride.

Reading Memorial High School Drama Club's 'Mamma Mia' Was Fantastic!
Last night I had a night out with my dancing queen gal pals and we attended Reading Memorial High School Drama Club’s, Mamma Mia. It has been four, very fast I’ll admit, years since I have graduated high school! It doesn’t feel long, but as one of the messages of the play reveals, years do fly by fast.

Thoughts on 'Warhammer 40k'
Disclaimer: I don't own the images. All rights go to their respective owners. In my first article I summarized the Warhammer 40k universe (in a simplified way). I will not repeat the summary here. Instead I will first give you a simplified background on the Word Bearers.

Anime Review: 'Black Clover'
Not long ago, I decided to dive head first into yet another anime series. Probably not the best idea considering that I was in the middle of multiple already at the time, but, after a little bit of convincing by my roommate, I decided that I would try watching it.

Applause for 'Lady Vengeance'
Lady Vengeance is one of my favourite films for its beautiful pacing and artistry mixed with a little bit of violence now and then. This film was a Christmas present for me. I saw an extensive review of the film in Neo Magazine about 11 years ago that made me really want to see the film. There was just one problem that made mum consider not buying it for me: I was 14, and the film was classified as an 18. I remember watching the film on YouTube before Christmas and really enjoying it. When I finally got to watch it on the full screen, it was brilliant. It made Christmas in the household a bit more lively.

Movie Review '55 Steps'
55 Steps is unquestionably a tearjerker—it just happens to be a high calibur tearjerker. This is a superb film that features a pair of lead performances that just work. Helena Bonham Carter and Hilary Swank are given all the room in the world to emote and overact and instead both actresses find near perfect tones for their performances that bridge a perfect gap between the broad strokes of drama and the authenticity of a based-on-a-true story movie.

'Network'
Network at the Belasco Theatre has more production bells and whistles than one can handle. The Belasco has been turned into a shiny contemporary landscape with a massive screen acting as a backdrop for a set, divided into three principal components. They are: a glass box TV production gallery, a newsroom studio, and a Manhattan-style restaurant and a bar (at which audience members can book a table if they're willing to pay up). It all looks very glitzy.

'Mayans M.C.'—The Long Road to an Incredible First Season
At this point in the game after completing the first season it us undeniable what impact Mayans M.C. has had on long term fans of SoA. It has brought us back to the world of outlaw bikers and violence that can only be found within this world. Once again from the wonderful mind of Kurt Sutter Mayans M.C. focuses on the current social and economic issues facing the M.C. However this time around it seems to have more focus on the characters and less focus on the inherent violence displayed in almost every other scene in SoA.
