My Review of "The Holiday Movies That Made Us: Season 3"
The Holiday Movies That Made Us: Season 3, is the third season of The Movies That Made Us. I love this series because I don't really buy DVD's and Blu Rays as often. I kind of need my fix to see the behind the scenes things that happened while making these movies. They go deep into not only small things behind the movies but also stories we would never have known.

Movie Reviews: 'Eternals' Inspires Indifference
I don’t hate Eternals. I don’t love Eternals either. I’m ambivalent to Eternals which is perhaps more damning than a negative review. At least a negative review would be memorable. I’m several days from my viewing of Eternals and I am having to use spoiler websites to try and recall parts of the movie. Eternals is exceptionally competent and perhaps the best movie that could be made with this script and this cast. But still, the reaction is mostly… blah.

Review: "Army of Thieves"
It seems rather odd that Netflix had green-lit a cinematic universe for Zack Snyder seemingly overnight even before seeing the returns on his entry film "Army of the Dead", but here we are with a prequel entry to said universe starring the eccentric wisecracking criminal fan-favorite Dieter. Snyder stays on the film as a producer and writer but passes his director chair off to the main star of the film in Matthias Schweighofer. Army of Thieves ends up being a surprisingly fun heist film and at times more fun than its predecessor but it hides some horrible pacing issues and horribly written bland characters with a flurry of kinetic editing.

Why Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a particularly important movie.
It is the fervent opinion of this writer that 2019 saw one of (if not) the most important cinematic event in recent history. Avengers: Endgame was the culmination of a solid decade’s worth of storytelling and world-building that has never been seen before in the history of motion pictures. Its defining moments being an epic battle that was filled with the characters that cinemagoers like myself had spent almost eleven years building an emotional attachment to. It was a journey that we had all been on since the humble beginnings of the 2008 film the incredible Hulk and slowly became not so much a series of films but an institution in its own right. So, it is perfectly understandable that the millions of fans across the world would be left in somewhat of a vacuum after Endgame closed the lid on an era of Marvel history that we all know as the Infinity Saga. And in this post-stark, post-infinity stones, post-Avengers world, we all stand hand in hand looking to the vast unknown that is Marvel's phase four.

How Reading Over 100 Books a Year Changed Me
Since coming back on Goodreads a few years ago, I’ve probally read more books in a few years than I did in my whole lifetime. I always try to read at least one book a week weather it’s paperback, e-book, audiobook or online. I have over 2000 books on my kindle, yet, according to my kindle app, I have only read 132. This count does not include books I have not finished. Nor does it include the books I have physical copies off.

Why We Collect: 10 Reasons Behind the Collectibles Hype
If you identify more as an investor than a collector, you may think of "collectibles" first and foremost as assets to be flipped for short-term profits or held for years or decades for long-term capital gains.

Accurate Representation is Important
I was thrilled when Disney released the trailer for "Encanto". Not just for their more recent branch of more diverse movies and the representation of different cultures, or the fact that the movie seems like a blast with great animation and music, but for the simple fact that Mirabel, the movie's main character, wears glasses.

Dune
Dune has seen a few adaptations on the big and small screen as of now as it's source content has had a profound impact on science fiction stories ever since it's publication. It was one of the first of it's kind to introduce themes of religion and human control over ecology into the narrative, as at that time, authors thought that in futuristic all those ideals would be gone. As for this iteration, Denis Villeneuve's adaptation nails it's source content beautifully even while only telling half the story. It speaks volumes about Villeneuve as a director as well as the entire cast and crew. There is plenty of passion and understanding behind this adaptation. To those that don't have any kind of knowledge of the source content, the opening thirty minutes may be a hard watch as a lot of world building is being thrown hastily at you, but through the wonderful talents of Villeneuve and the entire cast you are completely immersed in this beautiful tale.
