Green Phoenix
A dark figure looks over a lone house nestled in the woods below the hill she stands on. One thousand years. I’ve tried to kill the son of Apollo many times since my betrayal. Unable to unleash my rage on the god himself I have stayed my appetite for vengeance by killing his progeny. One thousand years and none of their deaths have dampened my pain for long, I have come to doubt even wiping them all from the earth will be enough. I won’t know that until I do it though. So few of them left. Only the most powerful left. This one seems to have inherited immortality, rare among demigods, but it is not impossible to kill an immortal. The God’s War proved that. But today is not his day for release. Vengeful and petty my actions have been called, even insane, yet I give the children of Apollo a peace I will never have. Is it peace? The next adventure? Nothingness? Is it different then going through the door, or are they different paths to the same mystery? Trapped in this mortal coil, death and the door unreachable, I may never know.

My Review of "All Together Now"
All Together Now is a Netflix exclusive that recently came out. It seemed like an uplifting movie about a teen needing help. What I got out of this was a somewhat predictable movie but was more of an emotional roller coaster ride than I thought it would be. I think they did a pretty good job in depicting certain troubles that real people have issues with.

My Review of "Orígenes secretos aka.Unknown Origins"
Orígenes secretos aka. Unknown Origins is a Spanish movie that seems smarter than your usual superhero movie. They have a ton of different geek references that I'm sure everyone into pop culture can appreciate. I'm not sure everyone will get this movie because of this though. Fortunately I did know all of the references that they were talking about in this movie and I started to realize that a lot of pop culture really is pop culture. It's known throughout the world regardless of your country of origin.

My 1st Ever Celebrity Crush
I don’t usually write about celebrities but I decided since Vocal was running a contest in which one could possibly win a cash prize talking about their first ever celebrity crush I decided to just wing it and write about mine and see what happened. I have the perfect celeb to write about too, he’s smart, funny, selfless, talented, as well as sexy. My first celebrity crush ever was Johnny Depp. My crush started when I was a little girl (I was only 7 years old) watching 21 Jump Street, there was just something about him that immediately attracted me to him. I next saw him in his first movie ever which was the first Nightmare on Elm St where he played the main character Nancy’s boyfriend and later becomes known as the kid Freddy killed in his bed. That scene is one of the most unforgettable scenes in horror movie history. I became hooked. I saw his next movie Cry Baby and like most girls I swooned over him. The next movie I saw him in was Edward Scissorhands along side a young Winona Ryder. He gave such an amazing performance that I remember (even at the age of 10) being able to feel his characters pain. I next went on to watch him in many more movies such as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and one of my all time favorites Benny and Joon. I used to spend my allowance money on teen magazines just so I could have pictures of Johnny all over my bedroom walls. Now that I’m an adult the crush still sticks, as a matter of fact I once had a friend tell me that if someone crushes on someone for over 20 years it means that they are in love with that person. I guess I must be in love because I have had a crush on Johnny for 33 years and counting. I have seen ALL of his movies, (good and bad), and I have listened to all of his music from the Rock City Angels to the Hollywood Vampires and I must say he is just as talented a singer and guitarist as he is an actor, I have even gone to California just to visit his former club the Viper Room, which sadly he no longer owns due to the disappearance of co-owner Anthony Fox. I hate that his ex Amber Heard made such disgusting false allegations against him in order to ruin his career and his good name as well as to also make publicity for herself in order to further her career. Johnny Depp is such an amazing person. He visits hospitals full of sick children dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow and takes pictures with them and signs autographs just to bring smiles to their little faces and unlike a lot of celebrity fathers he can never be called a deadbeat dad because his children have always come first since the day they were born. He does charity work and he even tried to save the life of his best friend River Phoenix when he overdosed at his club on Halloween night back in 1993. He also gave all the money he made for the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, to Matilda, the daughter of the late Heath Ledger who also starred in the movie but sadly passed away before the movie was finished. He has won numerous awards for his films as well as his music. He may be rich but he’s still a humble guy straight out of Kentucky. He is and always will be my all time favorite actor and my first and only long-standing celebrity crush.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: 5 Films by Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan is possibly best known for his attempts to tell the most post-modern and convoluted storylines ever to grace the screen. With films such as "Following" (1998) and "Memento" (2000) constantly being referenced at the beginnings of this cycle of mind-fuck movies. Contained within the thriller genre, Nolan is able to create the correct amount of suspense that would keep you watching until the end even if you didn't really know what was going on at that particular time. The best thing about a Nolan film is probably this though: if someone tells you that they understood the film entirely, then they really didn't understand it at all.

The Loss of A King
It isn’t often, that a writer like me is rendered almost speechless. But at the news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing, I’m at a loss, a complete loss. Nothing about it makes sense to me, when someone so talented, still so young, with so much more to give to the world as well as his craft, is taken from us.

() Flicked: Day 1 ()
It had been raining just a moment ago, but all at once the sky closed up and Cliff Rowley was left to slowly dry as he walked down the sidewalk outside a collection of expensive high rise apartments. He wasn't the easiest on the eyes, and drew stares from residents walking down the same side of the street. Despite his initial appearance to everyone else, Rowley kept himself groomed and sported a well-kept short boxed beard. He looked over his shoulder. No one appeared to be following him, but he decided to make one more circle around the block. This time he pulled out a small rounded mirror that fit in the palm of his hand and carefully inspected any blind spots he might be missing. A slight shimmer caught Rowley's eye and he cautiously slipped the mirror back into his pocket. Someone was tailing him.
