Valuable Life Lessons From The Five Feet Apart Movie
Social (physical) distancing. Five Feet Apart (technically six feet in real life). What Stella (played by Harley Lu Richardson) and Will (played by Cole Sprouse) had to endure each and every day for their top up treatment in Saint Grace hospital as Cystic Fibrosis patients in this movie, directed by debut sensation Justin Baldoni. That was only the beginning, on top of their strict medication and other regimens in their treatment plans.

I Recreated Bo Burnham's 'White Woman's Instagram'
Everyone's been obsessed with Bo Burnham's comedy special Inside in one way or another. Now that the billionaire space race is afoot, I've seen several TikToks featuring "Bezos I" and "Bezos II" to commemorate Jeff's flight. I was in a production of Midsummer Night's Dream back in June and early July, and one of my castmates would play "That Funny Feeling" on his acoustic guitar whenever we had downtime during rehearsals. I even wrote a Top 10 list of Bo Burnham songs for my job because I couldn't stop thinking about Inside.

Movie Review: 'Sweet Girl' Starring Jason Momoa
Sweet Girl doesn’t fail due to lack of commitment. Leads Jason Momoa and Isabela Merced each appear deeply committed to their roles. The unfortunate failure of Sweet Girl comes because what these wonderful performers committed to was far too silly to warrant their commitment. Sweet Girl turns on a twist so clumsily executed and poorly thought out that it renders any goodwill the movie might get from the performances moot.

10 Weird Books of 2021 (so far!)
Over the past year, I have focused on different types of reading including: folk horror, nonfiction and crime/thrillers of the Golden Age of British Crime Fiction. But, one thing that I have noticed along my reading is that there are books I would say are very 'weird' as in, I have not read anything quite like them before. The storylines shocked me, the characters enveloped me and there are tons of stuff about these books I would recommend (I'll be tagging my full reviews unless they contain spoilers) and tons of themes and symbols you can really get stuck into.

Cinderella: Done Dirty
It's 1950. You're Walt Disney. It's been two years since production was fast-tracked on one of your studio's most risky ventures. Your last three animated films, made with love and care, flopped in the midst of the Second World War. You're millions in debt, and you've just finished plunging yourself farther into the hole -- all for another feature-length animated project, to be given the same love and care as your previous works.

The Fourteen Most Creatively Brutal Deaths in the Iliad (Part 1)
Classical literature gets a bad rap for being boring. People see 'Homer' and their minds instantly glaze over, pre-armoring the brain against an assault of 'so spokes', 'then speakings', and 'thuses' like some ancient and extra-wordy Shakespeare (sorry, Shakespeare). Sure, Homer might have some neat stuff about gods and goddesses, and he might get a little spicy about the ladies, but how cool can a dude who told stories almost 3,000 years ago possibly be?

Is Alpha Betas the Next Big Adult Cartoon?
Adult cartoons and I have a very estranged relationship. It isn’t because I believe that animation can’t or shouldn’t be used with adult themes, quite the opposite in fact; I, like countless other animation fans, despise the notion that animation is strictly a children’s medium, or that it’s somehow more immature than live-action.

Why I Pay for Fanart Commissions
Yeah. So, I did it again. I commissioned an artist for a fanart piece. I recently read a post on POMEgranate Magazine that perfectly encapsulated my feelings on fanart.

Everything You Need To Game Like A True Pro (No Experience Necessary). Created with: Humble Bundle.
I've been a massive gamer most of my life. I started my gaming journey back in 1988 using an Amiga 500 where games would take 10 minutes to set up and play. Most games had multiple floppy disks to load before I could even start playing. I then moved on to a PC when games like Doom and Quake were released, the faster loading and increased level of detail in games was moving rapidly. I was hooked. It didn't matter that the games looked like a pixelated screen; it was about having fun and taking my gaming to a whole new level of excitement. What a time to be alive with so many games available to play! New incredible hardware being developed and easy to access games subscription services makes gaming a lot easier now.

'Jungle Cruise' Review - A Swashbuckling Pleasure
Disney has a new movie out, and for once, it is not a live-action remake of an animated classic. Thank goodness. I'm still wiping the taste of Mulan out of my mouth.
