Enough with the Remakes!!!
I’m just going to be blunt: Can we please STOP!!! making remakes of the animation classics? I’m not just talking about Disney. I’m also talking about DreamWorks. I’m giving you my opinion because, as of now, not only are the film scripts a bit off, but there are a few things that are absolutely (in a figure of speech) throwing a wrench into making a live-action movie. Honestly, what the hell happened!?

What Message Doctor Who can give the world
Ah, the world of Doctor Who. An outsider would be completely clueless to what the show is about. It looks like a bunch of weird strange happenings. Which it is. The show itself is weird, sometimes confusing, however heart felt. I couldn't tell you the amount of times that I have cried to this show. However, I wanted to speak about a message at the end of Peter Capaldi's run as the Doctor. We need more of this reminder out in the world, especially with the way the United States is going.

What Real Pirates Wore vs. What Hollywood Got Wrong
Let’s be honest—Hollywood gave us some iconic pirate looks. Jack Sparrow’s kohl-lined eyes, oversized hats, and trinket-loaded braids? Chef’s kiss for drama. But if we’re talking facts, real-life pirates were more rugged survivalists than runway-ready rebels.

Ranking The 'Star Wars' Film Saga By Box Office Numbers
It's been close to 50 years since George Lucas introduced the world to his space epic, Star Wars, but the franchise continues to be just as strong as ever. Audiences showed up en masse to see Luke, Leia, Han, and Darth Vader and they have continued to show up and watch movies and television about the story - even play video games. Star Wars has also been successfully marketed with endless merchandise, toys, and even entire theme park lands. Basically, it's safe to say that Star Wars is one of the most successful franchises in entertainment history.

Pirate Clothing by Region
When we imagine pirates, it’s easy to picture dramatic sword fights, stolen treasure, and iconic outfits that scream rebellion and adventure. But here's a twist most people don’t realize: pirate clothing actually changed based on where the pirates were sailing. The styles rocked in the Caribbean were totally different from what you’d see in the Mediterranean—and trust me, both were fire 🔥 in their own way.

“The Youngest Leading Lady in Movies”
If I tell you the story of Lucille Ricksen it may haunt you. In the way some histories do. Stories that tap at our brains, asking to be acknowledged. “Remember me,” they beg. But we can’t quite meet their demand because the story is too fragile, it lies in bits, a broken jigsaw.

Oscar Winner: Stutterer
In my last Media Literacy class, I always show this movie to my students as a perfect example of how media content works and affects us at different dimensions. I must have seen this 13-minute movie at least a dozen times, but it still hits me hard every time I watch it. It's just such a simple and powerful human story. Here's my personal analysis:
