'Uncharted' Movie Review
This is a great movie. I have no other opening line than that. I had pretty low ex[ectations for this movie, I'm not gonna lie. It was raining and it was either try to drive two hours home in the rain in the dark, or wait out the rain and see a movie.

An autistic woman finally watches Rain Man
As an autistic advocate who's always pushing for better representations of autistic people, I've been asked for my opinion on several films about autism. Based on the few that I have seen, I can already tell you that Come Play is one of the better films on the subject and that Music can be found at the bottom of the barrel. The one film that I'm often asked my opinion on is Rain Man. Originally, I had refused to watch it for a couple of reasons. For one, I predicted that I'd be miserable submitting myself to the outdated depiction of autism. Another reason why I initially avoided watching it was that plenty of neurotypicals have asked me if I was anything like the titular character. There is absolutely no reason why I should waste two hours of my time with this movie, but just like with my painful experience of sitting through Music, I feel like it's my job as an advocate to explain what does and doesn't work with Rain Man. In this little review, I shall go over what I already know about the film prior to viewing it, what I expected from it, and what I actually got from it. Without further ado, let's dive right in.

The Tinder Swindler: A Catfish Criminal
Twenty years ago, the way to find a significant other would be to dance over to a stranger in a nightclub or ask someone you find attractive for their number; however, those days are behind us and in 2022, the new age of flirting is technology. Dating apps. Gone are the days of having to be confident and find the nerve to talk to the pretty girl across the room. Today, we can pretend to be whoever we want to be on apps like tinder and the person on the other end is none the wiser. The risk of danger on dating apps is so much greater than before and the Netflix Documentary: The Tinder Swindler proves it.

Breaking the (Autistic) Love Code: Donald and Isabelle from Mozart and and the Whale (2005)
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed medical professional and this series is not about diagnosing the character(s) with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This series is a personal examination of the film/TV show's plot, the character's traits and personality and how they relate to me as an Autistic woman. I will also examine canonically Autistic Characters, so take my personal opinions as just that, a personal opinion. I would encourage my readers to seek out different perspectives on disability representation especially from BIPOC disabled creators who are often ignored in the disability discourse. Also some of the topics I will discuss might be triggering so please take care of your mental health when reading. I will also try to avoid giving away any spoilers for those who have not seen the film/TV show but if I have to give context for my arguments, this will be a likely occurrence so please be forewarned.

Movie Review: 'The Other Me' Sensitively Explores Sexual Identity
The Other Me operates on dream logic. The film starring Jim Sturgess and Andreja Pejic as two halves of the same person may seem obtuse or bizarre but that is intentional. The Other Me is telling a story about discovering trans identity using a divided psyche and the fractured emotional plane of dreams to lay the groundwork for a story about a bartender going blind from an unnamed disorder who finds his sight again when he discovers his mirror self as a trans woman.

The Social Dilemma : A Whistle-blower
The Social Dilemma, a documentary directed by Jeff Orlowski tries to show the ill-effect of social media. It talks about the effect and consequences of integrating social media in our identity. This documentary has brought together former employees of Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and other internet giants to show a clear picture of the curse these boon have become. We all use social media and it has become an unavoidable part of our life so i think there is no need to discuss about its advantages rather lets just focus on things that we really need to be aware of.
