Movie
Frozen
Disney's Frozen was a difficult movie for me to watch because the plot was confusing. The characters felt bland with basic motives. The movie seemed overrated despite its popularity among children. Overall, I found the story hard to follow and the tropes confusing, with convenience prevailing, especially the way the plot was more overcomplicated than it needed to be. It made problems worse by extending the runtime. The problems were solvable and simple, but there were way too many songs.

Don't Tell Anyone I Didn't Like Alien. Top Story - August 2026.
Any good divisive opinion should start with a preface, and here’s mine: I watched Alien a couple years ago, long after its initial release, and I’m sure it was unprecedented for its time. I am not in that time. I am in now. There is something to be said about the fact that this plot was never spoiled for me before a watch, so it did have that going for it. I liked the cat. Spoilers abound, you’ve been warned.

Attack on Titan: The Masterpiece That May Have Outgrown Its Own Story
Few anime have created expectations as enormous as Attack on Titan. When the series began, its premise was almost brutally simple: humanity lives behind enormous walls, terrified of giant humanoid creatures called Titans. People are dying, the world seems hopeless, and a young boy named Eren Yeager dreams of freedom beyond the walls.

The Sixth Sense (1999) is Not the Movie You Think it Is.
Who does Dr. Malcolm Crowe truly help in "The Sixth Sense?" It's hard to believe that The Sixth Sense (1999) is over a quarter of a century old. I say this, not just because I saw it in the theatre before "everyone" knew the twist and that I was blown away by the ending. What amazes me is that--even though I know the ending and its twist--I can watch it and still get teary-eyed at Cole's hug with his mother and openly weep at Malcolm's discovery. I love this movie. That's why I acknowledge that, if you assume that the story is about a child psychologist who does his best to help a boy deal with his ability to see ghosts, the film is an abject failure. And, because I will definitely be spoilery in this post: IF you haven't watched it and IF you don't know the twist and IF you still want to be surprised, then go stream it now. Amazon Prime viewers can watch it for free. Come back when you've seen it (or have read all about it on TV Tropes), so that I won't ruin the movie for you.

More Like Citizen Lame. Runner-Up in The Most Overrated Challenge. Top Story - August 2026.
Spoiler Alert? I guess it’s technically true that I’ll be revealing the end of the movie, though I find it hard to believe you won’t already know it from umpteen-bajillion pop culture references. You’ve been forewarned!

I’ve Loved Michael Jackson Since the Jackson 5
Somewhere in Hollywood, someone is probably doing a victory dance to “Billie Jean.” Who could blame them? Antoine Fuqua’s “Michael,” the long-awaited biopic of Michael Jackson, has become a box-office phenomenon. As of August 2026, the film has grossed roughly $1 billion worldwide, making it one of the most commercially successful music biopics. Its audience approval is equally striking: Rotten Tomatoes reports a 97% audience score, while the critics’ Tomatometer sits at only 38%.
