'The Bold and the Beautiful' mystery has begun and fans have questions
Spoiler alerts for The Bold and the Beautiful indicated last week that a murder mystery would begin on Monday. At the end of Monday's episode, however, no one was dead but something very strange did take place. Liam was driving Dollar Bill's vehicle when he hit the brakes after making contact with someone or something. He stopped the car and when he and his father got out they found Vinny lying in the road. Did Liam run over the man who changed the paternity test or did some other harm come to Mr. Walker that left him in the road?

My Review of "The Wiz"
The Wiz is the retelling of the classic Wizard of OZ movie. This remake was released back in 1978 and it kind of shows in the aesthetics of the movie. Still there's not a lot of people that talk about this movie and it's kind of a shame. It's a wildly imaginative version of the movie that still keeps all of the main themes of the original while allowing the creator's to add some of their own personal touches.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The hatred for John Walker grows in episode 2 and I think it boils down to one thing, everything we know about him points to him being a good soldier, including the fact that he was dubbed Captain America by the US government but nothing we know about him even gives us the illusion that he is a good man. The whole tagline for what makes Captain America relatable, loveable and a hero is that he wasn’t a perfect soldier but a good man and John Walker spits in the face of everything that Steve stood for and that's why him being in possession of the shield simply feels wrong.

One Take Wonder
So you’re a fan of the so-called one take wonder? Films that present their stories in one continuous shot spanning the entire length of its running time. In 2014 you watched Birdman, the Oscar winning film by Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu. It starred Michael Keaton, the actor who once played Batman and who now seemed to be making a comeback. As Birdman. You loved it of course. Keaton was always great and now he was in the hands of Iñárritu. You were blown away. You spoke to a friend about it. This friend of yours is a USC grad and self-described cinephile. Total arsehole. He makes mention of another single-take film called Russian Ark. Directed by some Russian filmmaker (obviously), he couldn’t remember the guys name exactly. So you Googled it. Turns out the director’s name is Aleksandr Sokurov and he was born in small Siberian village in 1951. When Russian Ark was released in 2002 it was considered a historical achievement. An hour and thirty-nine minutes of one continuous shot telling the story of a 19th century French aristocrat as he makes his way through the various rooms of the Russian State Hermitage Museum. It’s certainly stunning to look at with its gorgeous production design, costuming and crowded, carefully choreographed set pieces. But much of the historical context and encounters with historical figures are lost on you because you’re an American without a major in Russian history. The film is beautiful to be sure, but, really, it’s somewhat inaccessible to you. Birdman, however, was about actors and the New York theatre. About a has-been movie star looking to prove his artistic worth and be a better father maybe. It featured a bunch of actual movie stars you easily recognise and it reminded you of your own time working in the theatre with dreams of being on a Broadway stage. You laughed at Riggan’s failures to overcome the trappings of his ego and the humiliations he inadvertently suffered when it seemed like he was finally winning again. The spectre of his identity as a superhero franchise star haunted him. The Bird Man mocked him in the dressing room mirror. Here was a redemption story and everyone loves a good redemption story.

If You Liked Avatar Try Watching Terra Nova
Most of the time when someone loves one thing or another the reasons for one exist in another. For anyone the loved Avatar and the vibrant, exciting, and magical world of Pandora, I'd recommend trying the one season of Terra Nova to fill your binge-watching needs.

5 Films to Override Your Algorithm
Whether it's a function of spending too much time with my streaming services (very likely), not enough time (highly unlikely), or just poorly engineered equations (no idea how likely), it seems I've tested the limits of every algorithm and broke them. Busted and trampled and burned them so badly that all they do is recommend crap now. Like a tech version of bad karma. So in an attempt to save you from a similar fate, I've concocted a new little formula, developed through countless hours of determined scrolling and committed viewing, that yields at least 5 great films. But first, let me explain the variables.

An echo caught Oren’s attention, and the man kept his eyes on the room’s entrance when a gaunt man stepped in. “Watseka told me you worked off that poison quickly,” he said in the silky voice that Oren matched to the aleckso who had caught finally him.
