Fantastico Pandemonium
For as long as I can remember, Salma Hayek was my main celebrity crush. In my humble opinion, her beauty and cinematic energy is unparalleled. Ironically, I thought my childhood crush was the late Tejano superstar Selena but, I realized that I was just infatuated with J-Lo's portrayal of her and not the actual Selena Quintanilla-Perez. As a student of 1995, I was fortunate to watch movies that actually came out in the '90s but in the early 2000s at the convenience of my DVD player or VHS. My top 5 favorite films of hers are Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Savages, and Beatriz Comes to Dinner.

My Opinion on the GQ Interview with John Boyega
Before I get started on this, I want to say that you're allowed to disagree here, but consider everything I'm saying because this is all valid stuff as I am a Black man myself. Granted, I was born and raised in America, and John comes from a background that's British and Nigerian, but still, we share the same skin color.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: "The Jazz Singer" (1927)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

Anime and Yaoi helped me understand my grammar and punctuation.
When it comes to anime shows, there not only exciting, but they are also unique. I love the stories as much as the background and the characters. The design of their personality is always impressive. I love how anime shows are developed from urban legends, mythology, or just a previous experienced the writer or the creator, or maybe the director went through. I love reading the stories on how these shows are created. I would always write stories like fan fiction in a journal.
