My Review of 'Annihilation'
I saw Annihilation on Netflix and remembered the trailer for it way back when. I was always interested but never pushed myself to go watch it. Now I’m kind of kicking myself for not seeing it sooner. It is a pretty well made movie with tons of beautiful artistic pieces that I only wished I got to see on the big screen. Plus, the big sound would have really got me into the atmosphere of the movie. I have a semi decent set up, but I couldn’t turn up the volume and just let myself get immersed like I could in the theatre.

My Review of 'Creed II'
I have to start off this review by saying that I’ve been a fan of the Rocky series for many years now. My perspective for this review will be biased. Luckily, my girlfriend agreed to come watch this movie with me despite the fact that she had no knowledge of any of the prior films. The only thing that she recognized was that Sylvester Stallone played the boxer named Rocky.

Does Money Affect Artistic Integrity?
I always had a preconceived notion of what a starving artist is all about. Recently my perspective has changed a bit after pondering about arguments from tons of artists out there that want to be paid for their work. There’s nothing wrong with being paid for your art and I think it’s great that people get paid for their art but does this affect the artistic integrity of the artist’s work? Artists can be paid in a variety of ways so sometimes the circumstances of the exchange of money for the art plays a large part in determining the integrity of the work. We’ve seen in the past that many artists have been able to juggle money and art successfully. It’s definitely not for everyone though.

My 'Daredevil' Season 3 Review
Daredevil is a really great character that I discovered around the time I entered university. A few years back, I got really excited when I heard about a brand new Daredevil TV series by Netflix. I wasn’t totally fond of the Ben Affleck movie that was made years back. I thought it was kind of flat and missed out on a lot of potential. It was almost like a made for TV movie. I loved Frank Miller’s take on Daredevil when I was first introduced to Daredevil and was hoping that the TV series would be able to take a page from his direction.

We Need a Street Fighter Movie Reboot
The Street Fighter franchise has been around since 1987. After 30 years, it’s still as successful as ever, which makes me wonder why Capcom hasn’t made another live action movie. I’ve compiled a list of reasons why they should make a new Street Fighter movie. Hopefully someone up there at Capcom agrees with my list and makes plans on rebooting the Street Fighter movie franchise!

How I Overcame My Physical Incompetency
I guess I should start off by letting you know that I’m nobody special. In fact, I’m probably physically more inept than a lot of people. When I started breakdancing back in 2001, I noticed that there were different types of intellect out there. I made up some of them that made sense to me: Street smarts allowed you to read other people well, book smarts was how much actual information you can retain in your brain, creative smarts is knowing how to integrate all your thoughts for something useful, and then there was the dreaded physical smarts. I don’t mean using body language either (I think body language would fall under street smarts). Physical smarts to me was how much control you have over your body to do things. For instance, if someone showed you a few basic dance steps, someone physically smart would be able to understand what was needed and be able to perform it identically with the same rhythm.

My Review of the Movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
Bohemian Rhapsody is already a bonafide hit in the movie theatre. It’s a bio picture about the life and times of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the famous rock band Queen. Tons of people are checking out this movie and for this review I’ll give you my two cents while trying not to spoil the movie for those that still haven’t seen it already.

My Review of the TD MyAdvantage App
I’ve been using the TD MyAdvantage app for the past week and I learned a lot about my driving habits and general driving habits in my neighborhood. This app has opened my eyes to a lot of different aspects of driving that I never really contemplated. Ultimately my goal is to have the app help me save money on car insurance but time will tell how much of a benefit it really it is.

Elders Need to Follow the Youth and Tell Their Stories
When I grew up I was always told to listen my elders. I’m sure a lot of people are still taught this today, but what have our elders done to deserve our attention? With the changes that we’re going through in society today should this still be acceptable? Traditions change and our world is very different from what it was before. Some of our elders remained silent and were complacent when they saw wild injustices in their lives. To this day some are still withholding their stories. Some of our elders have perpetrated hate and taught it to future generations. I realize that not all of our elders are the same and times were different back in the day. I also know that not everyone can be a superhero, but everyone should at least have a conscience. Change has to start somewhere. We’ve seen a ton of growth in social awareness in today’s youth but this change could have happened much earlier. Maybe it’s the seniors that need to listen and understand the youth rather than the other way around.

'A Star Is Born' (2018)
I didn’t know this but apparently there were already four versions of the movie A Star Is Born before this fifth outing was remade. I know a lot of people are against remakes but every so often movies have to be remade because some movies don’t really make sense or are relatable to present times. When I think back at some of the acceptable racism, sexism and homophobia in some of the older films I used to watch I have no questions as to why we have to have remakes of films. I haven’t seen the old versions of A Star Is Born so I can’t really say there was a need for the remake but a remake was made nonetheless so let’s embrace it.

'Sons of Anarchy' Season 3
Another week and another Sons of Anarchy review. I’m really binging this thing like there’s no tomorrow. This time we’re at season 3. Just when I thought they already upped the ante they raise the bar even further. I had no idea where they were going to go with this season because season 2 wrapped up with that crazy cliff-hanger at the end.

'American Vandal' Season 2
Last year's surprise series American Vandal had me absorbed. I had previously watched Season 1 of Making a Murderer on Netflix back in 2015. American Vandal follows the same documentary style that Making a Murderer used with their wildly successful season, but with a comedic twist. It's funny that Netflix would allow a parody of one of their more popular series, especially so soon.
