Allison HarperPublished 4 years ago in GeeksWhy Anime Is Important
I've had this on my mind lately because I am so tired of people underestimating anime. Yeah Teen titans or The Boondocks are an animation but anime is apart of storytelling. Behind every anime there is a story. Not only that but there are people who are getting into anime just to ship characters, yeah the characters are cute but do you really know the story behind the anime. Do you really know it for what it is. If you really want to get into anime I highly recommend starting off with Soul Eater, Fairy Tail, or Naruto. Those are the animes I started off with that got me into watching anime.
Ride Time: The Story about ‘The Star Report’
You’d buy your ticket, run through the empty space where the bars are not teeming with people, get on the ride, and strap in. The attendant would make sure you’re secure. In a COVID-19 world, this scene could play out in any amusement park that still wanted to acknowledge pandemic parameters, masks and sanitizing stations included. But this is just a metaphor for a YouTube show hosted by Troi “Star” Torain that just feels like a rollercoaster ride.

Photo by Dave & Margie Hill / Kleerup No one was more a hero in World War II than John Wayne. At least that’s what the aliens would think when they viewed the historical footage documented in old Hollywood reels such as the Sands Of Iwo Jima, Flying Tigers and The Longest Day. We know better. But if you’re a child of World War II, who reveled in his onscreen heroics and welled up with pride, maybe there’s still some draft dodger wiggle room to take solace in. For everyone else, fire away.
Rich MonettiPublished 4 years ago in GeeksReview of 'A Golden Fury'
Synopsis In her debut novel A Golden Fury, Samantha Cohoe weaves a story of magic and danger, where the curse of the Philosopher’s Stone will haunt you long after the final page. Thea Hope longs to be an alchemist out of the shadow of her famous mother. The two of them are close to creating the legendary Philosopher’s Stone—whose properties include immortality and can turn any metal into gold—but just when the promise of the Stone’s riches is in their grasp, Thea’s mother destroys the Stone in a sudden fit of violent madness. While combing through her mother’s notes, Thea learns that there’s a curse on the Stone that causes anyone who tries to make it to lose their sanity. With the threat of a revolution looming, Thea is sent to live with the father who doesn’t know she exists. But there are alchemists after the Stone who don’t believe Thea’s warning about the curse—instead, they’ll stop at nothing to steal Thea’s knowledge of how to create the Stone. But Thea can only run for so long, and soon she will have to choose: create the Stone and sacrifice her sanity, or let the people she loves die.
Cyn's WorkshopPublished 4 years ago in GeeksReview of ‘The Castle School (for Troubled Girls)’
Synopsis When Moira Dreyfuss's parents announce that they're sending her to boarding school, Moira isn't fooled. She knows her parents are punishing her; she's been too much trouble since her best friend Nathan died--and for a while before that. At the Castle School, isolated from the rest of the world, Moira will be expected to pour her heart out to the strange headmaster, Dr. Prince. But she isn't interested in getting over Nathan's death, or befriending her fellow students. On her first night there, Moira hears distant music. On her second, she discovers the lock on her window is broken. On her third, she and her roommate venture outside...and learn that they're not so isolated after all. There's another, very different, Castle School nearby--this one filled with boys whose parents sent them away, too. Moira knows something isn't right about the Castle School--about either of them. But uncovering the truth behind the schools' secrets may force Moira to confront why she was sent away in the first place.
Cyn's WorkshopPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Hubie Halloween"
Hubie Halloween is yet another Adam Sandler Netflix exclusive movie. The last Netflix exclusive that he starred in was Murder Mystery. I have to admit that I did enjoy that movie. His movies on Netflix have been kind of hit or miss but recently I think he's kind of been getting his footing back. Or maybe I'm starting to understand his type of humor and just understood what he was getting at with this movie.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksWhy I Adore: Margot Robbie
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re going to look at people that I absolutely adore and why I adore them. They can be anyone who is famous for being in film such as: actors and actresses, directors and producers, composers etc. We’re going to be looking at my childhood heroes, people I have discovered recently and people that I have yet to look entirely into. We’ll take a bit of a look at how I discovered them, what I think of them and why I think this way about them. Hopefully, we can gain a common ground, you can discover some new people or, via the email address in my bio, you can email me with any new people I don’t know about that you think I would like based on what you’ve seen. These are supposed to be positive articles and made to brighten your day and mine. So, let’s take a wild ride into my childhood, my teen years and what I absolutely adore about the film industry because it is alive and kicking (and if it isn’t, hell I might be out of a job…). Let’s go!
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: Pathetic Fallacy
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

"Emily in Paris" and the World We Live In
Netflix’s new show “Emily in Paris” about a plucky young American who goes to work for a marketing company in the French capital, not knowing a word of the language but armed with her awesome Instagram skills and “fresh perspective”, has certainly stirred up some controversy. In the wake of cancellations of favourite shows such as “GLOW”, many viewers seem to feel they’ve been robbed of something good and given thrash in return. Critics are not exactly charmed, either, and I don’t even want to imagine what the French think about it. (Actually, according to the internet, they seem to be mostly laughing at it in bemusement which, I suppose, is better than the alternative.)
Yana AleksPublished 4 years ago in Geeks Movie Review: Ms White Light is a Lovely Surprise
Lex (Roberta Collindrez) has a rather mysterious gift. Her job has her sit at the bedside of a person who is dying and give them comfort. Despite her baggy brown suit, unkempt hair, and generally odd manner, Lex has a way of reaching out to those who are dying in ways that members of the family or the medical profession cannot. Lex’s gift is seemingly supernatural and she genuinely helps people accept death in a way that brings great comfort to those who let go.
