'Personal Shopper' (2016)
“For me, Lewis was someone deeply intuitive of others.He understood things that went unspoken.Maybe because he knew he was going to die.”

'Justice League' Film Review
Justice League is a good movie. There, I said it and BEFORE you gather your proverbial torches and pitchforks understand this: I am not a movie critic.

Review: 'Mary Magdalene'
Even though I'm not a religious person, I am always intrigued with films about it. I love the biblical epics of the golden era such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. Major studios heavily invested in those stories back in the day, and they certainly did not spare any expense in every department.

'Riverdale': A Coming of Age Story
'Riverdale': A Coming of Age Story When I first saw the CW trailer for the show, Riverdale I was amused and skeptical. The idea of all our favorite goody-two-shoe bathroom comic friends transformed into sexy soap stars was as bizarre as it was intriguing. I went from passively enjoying the drama, to anxiously awaiting each new episode every week. We have been exposed to Ms. Grundy’s forbidden and very illegal romance with Archie Andrews, the Southside Serpents' gang violence, Betty’s interesting and awkward sexualized dark-side, and so much more. Riverdale is a community whose justice system seems to depend on teenagers meddling in police investigations. This makes me wonder when a sexy Scooby Doo soap will be syndicated on the CW — I would probably watch it. Jughead, whose character is far more interesting and complex than I had expected, writes for the local school newspaper which has as much political relevance as CNN. It is through Jughead’s narratives we are exposed to what I believe is the main theme of Riverdale: teenagers coming of age. Let’s examine the four main characters to support my view.

A Movie I Love
Here is a recommendation: A Tim Burton masterpiece detailing pride, hubris, and the human spirit overcoming adversity in even the most impossible of situations. A study in full of how far one will go for platonic love. Vibrant, dramatic, vivacious and never stopping to look back on its actions as it scales half of the United States in an epic journey of Homeric proportions. At its forefront is a vigilant, flawed, complex anti-hero who will stop at nothing to attain his one true love: his bicycle.

The Importance of Meg Murry
It was not a dark and stormy night. At least I don't think it was. It was summer when I first learn about the story of a girl that reached beyond herself, beyond time and space, in order to save her father. The story did not resonate much at first. It seemed a cute movie about a girl in an adventure, although I have to admit, I managed to tear up with the trailer every time I watched it. But I love Ava DuVernay, the director, and the actors in it, so I decided to watch it.

Movie Review: 'Los Angeles Overnight'
Los Angeles Overnight takes a familiar plot and dresses it up with some satisfying weirdness and one terrific lead performance. Arielle Brachfield plays Priscilla, a wannabe actress struggling to stay afloat in Los Angeles. Director Michael Chrisoulakis uses image and dialogue to keep audiences off balance, even as the story has the conventional trappings of a thriller.

Totally in Love(, Simon)
I watched the movie just an hour ago when I started writing this and I don’t know where to start. I guess we'll start with my rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars!

'The Shape of Water': Good Schlock at Best - Not Best Picture
Going to the movies with filmmakers is rough. They pretty much hate everything they see. That's what I was up against when I "attended the cinema" to see The Shape of Water.
