My Review of "The Little Hours"
The Little Hours showed up suddenly in my Netflix suggested list and honestly I didn't know what to make of the movie. It stars a pretty big name cast but it's based in a convent in the middle ages. I have to admit I'm one of the few people that actually really liked the movie Your Highness so I had to give this movie a shot. There's no way I could have planned what I was about to witness.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "I Am Not Okay With This: Season One"
I Am Not Okay With This is a Netflix exclusive TV series that I thought would explore a girl's super powers. I soon found out that this movie is actually more about the main character Syd trying to figure herself out. She has so much angst that it was very difficult to watch this season at times. The thing about this is that the show had to make her this way for the series to work. Once you get to the very end you realize that everything was done pretty intelligently.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Core"
The Core is an early 2000's disaster movie. These were really big in the late 90's and early 2000's. I guess there was a lot of panic with Y2K that everyone ate these movies up. I know I'm becoming one of these suckers. This movie shows some of its age but it's still enjoyable if you don't take this movie too seriously.

Darwin’s Game is an eleven episode, 2020 anime adaptation by the studio Nexus. The show is based on the manga by FLIPFLOPs which has been running since 2012. The show revolves around a secret game that lets people kill each other for rewards and privilege. The caveat being that said participants receive a ‘sigil’ that allows them all to have one unique power to aid them in their fights.

Better Days? I tend to optimism, so I feel everyday can be a “better day”. It’s not what you do but how you approach life. It could be something you do with a friend, a partner or even just yourself. It’s not necessarily where you go, where you eat or where you travel and it can be as simple as a trip to the movies.

Trevor WellsPublished 4 years ago in GeeksGirl Beneath The Sea - Book Review
In the realm of literature, there is a fine line that many authors try to walk but most can’t make; this line is the genre of suspense. Suspense is something difficult to master because while many writers attempt it, most fall off the line and either snap the tension or get too complicated and lose their audience. Mayne did a great job keeping the plot on track and understanding that the story line itself was complicated, so he was careful with not having too many subplots. This is a great technique to writing suspense because it cuts down on confusion for the readers.
