An Emphatic no to 'Mr Love: Queen's Choice'
EVOLxLOVE, or Mr. Love: Queen's Choice, is an anime that I needed no encouragement in dropping after a single episode. During the runtime of the episode, whether it was produced by MAPPA or not, it was becoming more and more obvious that it was simply not for me. Which is surprising when the individual elements are all things that I would ordinarily be drawn to. A television executive that is trying her best to make sure that her company stays afloat, combined with a world where there are people with superpowers living in secret. This is the kind of show that I would ordinarily watch, because it speaks to my love of superhuman tropes, and my education in media.

The two characters I am speaking of is Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen.

Trevor WellsPublished 4 years ago in GeeksReview of 'Entwined'
Entwined by A. J. Rosen is a pleasant surprise. This novel is a reimagining of Greek mythology following the descendants of the Greek gods. While an exciting premise, parts of it are poorly executed.

Few films capture the theatrical experience as lovingly as Cinema Paradiso. The 1988 Italian film won the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award and serves as one of the most beautiful love letters to cinema and the wonder it creates in the lives of those who connect to it. There have been countless reviews and essays about Cinema Paradiso that have worded how successful it is in what it sets out to do better than I ever could. But this will not be a standard review beyond me urging any reader who loves film, and/or feels a deep connection to the medium to seek Cinema Paradiso out and allow it to move you. I genuinely cannot imagine anyone who has a love for this art form not being deeply touched by the experience.

Age is nothing but a number. This is an age old adage that most of us have heard, a lot of times even from older wiser characters in movies and television shows. Yet, the entertainment industry, Nollywood, Bollywood, Hollywood…entertainment and the media and society in general make aging look like this that should not only be feared but avoided at all costs.
Jide OkonjoPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Hard Pill to Swallow: How The Umbrella Academy Depicts Prescription Medication
I had mixed feelings when I first learned that The Umbrella Academy would be coming back to Nextflix on July 31st. On one hand, I remembered how excited I was when I first read the series’ description. A superhero show inspired by Gerard Way’s comic book series sounded like Netflix snuck into my brain to fuse my love of superheroes with my love of angsty 2000s pop-rock. I expected something fun and fast-paced. I hoped for beautifully choreographed fight scenes set to a killer soundtrack. And Netflix delivered. I could watch superheroes foil a bank robbery with Fitz and The Tantrums playing in the background all day.
