Earth-ucation!
Streaming services are making it easier than ever to learn about our planet. Earth month is a perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the state of our world and encourage our families to join in. Children tend to be more receptive to education in a fun format so don’t forget to bring the whole family in on your earth-ucation! I have marked any shows below that are not child-friendly or should be reviewed to determine if the content is appropriate for your child.
The Creative ChimeraPublished 3 years ago in Geeks Book Review: "The Redhead by the Side of the Road" by Anne Tyler
I used to read some Anne Tyler books back when I was studying my undergraduate degree and mainly because I wanted to learn her style of writing such well-constructed character-based pieces. The character studies I used to do on the people that populated her books came flowing back to me in this one entitled "The Redhead by the Side of the Road". It was like experiencing it all over again. The writing style is cautious in what it tells us about the character - only as much as is relevant to the time and place. The character’s decisions are always based on their character type rather than what the writer thinks that they should be doing. Let’s take a look at what it is about then.

Jonathan SimPublished 3 years ago in GeeksGodzilla vs Kong
Honestly, my bar was pretty low for this movie. It was not met. BTW SPOILERS AHEAD You've been warned. I went to a special 4D theater to watch this movie, because the theaters are starting to open up again and I cannot not go. I have an HBO account on my TV but I wanted to go out.

I can’t believe people enjoy this movie. I’m gonna start this off by saying that my bar was super low for this movie. I saw the original Whedon cut and I did not enjoy that garbage. But I also did not enjoy this either.
Mae McCreeryPublished 3 years ago in GeeksAnother Round(2020)- Review
Another Round is a 2020 Danish film circling around four teachers and close friends. All of them lack motivation and are continuing to live their dull lives. On the occasion of Nikolaj's (Magnus Millang) 40th birthday dinner, the four start to discuss psychiatrist Finn Skårderud's theories specifically his theory of maintaining a blood alcohol content of 0.05 which he reckons can make a person more creative and relaxed. Initially dismissing the theory and the idea of experimenting with it; Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) who finds himself extremely sad and depressed due to difficulties in his personal life, starts drinking at work. The other three inspired by Martin are invigorated to join in and make it an experiment of Skårderud's theory. The movie continuous with the four experimenting with binge drinking albeit with rules and their self-defined restrictions.
The Couch ReviewPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Captain America: The First Avenger"
Captain America: The First Avenger was the 5th modern Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies. It came out back in 2011. It holds a spot in my heart because this was my favorite Marvel movie from the first phase of MCU movies. A lot has changed in 10 years. Each MCU movie has done things to try to one up themselves. I wasn't sure how I was going to react to this older movie. Heck, I wasn't even too sure if this movie would be politically correct anymore.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 3 years ago in GeeksFaith, Doubt, Prayer, & the Kims
This week’s episode of Kim’s Convenience, the wonderfully relatable Canadian family comedy about a Korean-Canadian family and their Toronto convenience store, got me good. The episode, entitled “Hugs & Prayers”, had me tearing up because of The Jesus.

Jimmy Stars WorldPublished 3 years ago in GeeksCity of Thieves
I’m going to be perfectly honest about the fact that this took me a lot longer to read than it should have. For some reason, I just couldn’t motivate myself to read, despite the fact that this book was incredibly good. This book came to me in my first monthly subscription to the Literati Book Club (which I received as an amazing birthday gift--thank you!), and I was hooked as soon as the package arrived in the mail. I have always been fascinated by the World War II era, and I have always had a love for all things Russian, so I figured that this would be a perfect fit for me--and I was right.
