The Godfather's Brilliance: A Critical Appreciation
"The Godfather" is a cinematic masterpiece. With impeccable casting, writing, and directing, the film's brilliance shines through. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino deliver exceptional performances, supported by an outstanding cast. Even in my critical eyes it's a perfect ten, as it flawlessly captures the essence of power, family, and crime.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

What black space movie came out in 1992?
1992 was an historic year in cinema history, particularly for black filmmaking. A variety of significant black movies released that not only entertained but also provided insightful social commentary and diverse representation. Notable among these were Eddie Murphy's hit "Boomerang", as well as gripping crime drama "Juice", featuring life of inner city youths; comedy "Class Act", with Kid 'n Play appearing prominently; this year also witnessed many more black themed movies being produced than in prior years.

Silence
I don’t remember the day the world ended. But I do remember the day I noticed. That photo was it, but I did not know what it meant until I sat in my darkened bathroom, staring at the newly developed film. The street was neither empty, nor abandoned. It was dead. The colours of the flowers wrapped in that red ribbon caught my eye, and as I crouched to take that photo, I could hear only the lonely silence of a graveyard after dark.
