Galavant
Galavant is the "Shrek" of the Epic Hero's Journey, except it stopped short of running the franchise into the ground. It's extremely self-aware, knows how to keep the plot-twists coming without overdoing them, balances truly touching emotional moments with side-splitting comedy, and comes with a catchy, singalong soundtrack.

Does size matter?
Does size matter? Am I critiquing an actual work here? Nope. Just expressing a thought. How big should a link be at the end of an article? I often like my pics for covers, because some Unsplash images make links too large when linked at the bottom of an article.

Ethereal Symphony
In this captivating artwork, luminous strokes dance gracefully, forming a breathtaking play of light. Yet, while composition echoes brilliance, an opportunity for deeper narrative connection arises. By intertwining thematic elements, this symphony could evoke profound emotions, ensuring lasting resonance in the observer's heart.

Fifty Shades of Pure Shit
Sex, manipulation, and harmful representations of BDSM. Why, it must be the early 2010s! It started with 50 Shades of Grey and ended with the dangerous misconception that BDSM revolves around erotically charged sadism.

50 Shades of Grey by E. L James
It's a fan fix based on Edward Cullen, with more sex. Discussing the kind of sex you want is liberating; the sex scenes suck. How many words can you use for a penis? The answer is a lot. However, the overuse of masculine toxicity as a plot device is disheartening

Narnia: A Critique
Narnia is an inventive twist of deep metaphors and complex timelines. C.S. Lewis blends the rich history of World War II with a whimsical and extraordinary storyline. This story attracts both the avid scholar and the imaginative child as it lures the reader to enter into the story itself.

The Lord of the Flies
Self-government is so easy even children can do it... on an island...alone. Except. This little Piggy never came home. 'Simon says' can never happen again and no Herod-ic handwashing can cleanse them from group violence.

IDOL
THE IDOL IS AN HISTORICALLY GREAT TELEVISION EVENT, crowning achievements everywhere. It unites the most dreadful writing, directing and acting ever witnessed on Earth with a signature song (World Class Sinner) that achieves this miracle: A beautiful woman singing about kinky sex being a crushingly boring event.

A Defense of New Moon
New Moon is a harrowing depiction of an insecure girl suffering from depression. Whether or not we agree with why Bella is depressed, Meyer captures her internal turmoil perfectly. The book is lacking as a romance and it's definitely not a feminist masterpiece, but it is a fascinating psychological study.
