The Life of Sirius Black
There are millions of fan theories all over the years from every possible character out of the Harry Potter universe that you could possibly imagine. They differ from believable and unique, to far-fetched and even smutty. The point is, there's something out there for everyone. One of the first theories that ever took shape in my mind was of Sirius. How could one person be so different from his family? There's always the 'black' sheep in many families, but Sirius wins, I think. So, here's another fan theory from a perspective of Sirius.

Movie Review: 'Faces Places'
The grand lady of the French Cinema, Agnes Varda, may have made her final film. In interview with Indiewire.com, Varda told writer Eric Kohn that her new film, Faces Places, made with innovative French artist JR, would be a fitting final film. In the interview, Varda compares herself at 89 years old to a boxer potentially staying for one fight too many. She’s not "going to bed," as she puts it, she still has art installations to work on, but indeed the curtain may have come down on Agnes Varda at the Cinema.

A New Cape
"Thwip!” I yelled, shooting a web at my sister while dodging her glowing lasso. Being on our trampoline made dodging her attacks much easier and plus made me look a lot more like Spiderman.

Why Do Machines Need The Matrix?
I watched an online review of The Matrix movie as part of Matrix Month by The Nostalgia Critic. It was an oldie by Internet standards, but it was definitely one of his better reviews, and despite him making clear that he didn't like it, he was as objective as he could be. But if you're a fan of The Nostalgia Critic's work, like I am, you'll notice that what he has in earnestness and film knowledge, he lacks in finer details. And this one in particular, I feel he missed out on.
