Movie Review: "Frankenstein" (2025)
This is a spoiler-free review - but seriously, how can you not know the story by now? So I've finally watched the new Frankenstein movie on Netflix and though I probably would have been better off seeing it in the cinema, I have to admit I haven't been to the cinema in a while. Reasons for not attending are between me and my broken brain at this moment in time - all will be revealed perhaps next year. Anyways, Frankenstein seems to be a popular story to adapt but not everyone can do it well. There are various adaptations that didn't try too hard to stick to the book and yet did very well, there are others that tried to stick to the book and did terribly. One thing I think all of the adaptations have in common though is that none of them are entirely a 5/5 production. Why? Well, man is that book wild! You simply cannot capture that insane atmosphere 100% on a screen. But, let's take a look anyways...

Elio
Elio is one of the quietly released movies this year, I don't recall it having an extreme marketing push. Disney seemed to not care whether this movie succeeded or failed, because we all know they have the funds for a good marketing campaign, they just chose not to. That said few people knew this movie was even being released, and even less people actually saw it in theaters. However box office return is the last indicator of movie quality so here we are.

Lost Films of the 1980s: The Unfinished, the Unreleased, and the Unbelievable
The Forgotten Decade of Lost Cinema The 1980s gave us E.T., Blade Runner, Back to the Future, and The Terminator. But behind all those classics was another, stranger Hollywood — one littered with movies that never made it past the vault. Some were victims of bad luck, bankrupt studios, or bruised egos. Others were finished, screened for executives, and then buried forever.

'The Running' Man and the Funny Thing About 'Woke' Movies. . Top Story - November 2025.
The Joke About “Woke” Art Something that never fails to amuse me in the endless online outrage about so-called “woke” art is this: the movies that get tagged as “woke” are almost never showing us anything new.

The Roses
The Roses is a comedy. We are not going to categorize this as a Rom Com because I feel like that sets up specific expectations. It's a comedy about a relationship and that is as close as we are going to get. Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbatch play a married couple and their unexpected chemistry ends up delivering a truly entertaining and enlightening story.

Beyond Thriller: The Shocking Truths We Demand From The New "Michael" Movie by NWO Sparrow
The trailer is out y'all. For two minutes, we saw the flashes of glitter and talent, the promise of a man who defined pop music. The Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled "Michael," is coming in 2026, and like many of you, I felt that old thrill. The glimpse of the young boy’s voice in a crowded room, the silhouette of the moonwalk, the sheer force of his presence. It is all there. But a two-minute trailer cannot possibly contain the man. It can only tease. And as a fan, as someone who understands that his art and his life were a complex, often painful, symphony, I have a plea for the filmmakers. Do not shy away from the difficult notes. Here are the five eras this movie must explain, not just depict.

Movies of the 80s: When Comedy Went Bananas — The Bizarre Legacy of Going Ape! (1981)
The Last Stand of the Monkey Movie Before the raunchy teen comedies of the 1980s took over multiplexes, before the wave of high-concept blockbusters and big-budget sequels, there was a brief, curious moment when Hollywood genuinely believed that the secret to box office gold was simple: put an ape in it.

Dick Cheney – Power, Controversy, and the Legacy of a Vice President Who Defined an Era
Dick Cheney – Power, Controversy, and the Legacy of a Vice President Who Defined an Era Dick Cheney is one of the most influential and controversial political figures in modern American history. Born on January 30, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney rose from modest beginnings to become one of the most powerful vice presidents the United States has ever seen. His long career in government, which spanned from the Nixon administration to the George W. Bush presidency, left a lasting impact on American foreign policy, national security, and the nature of executive power. --- ### Early Life and Political Rise Cheney grew up in Casper, Wyoming, and attended Yale University but left before graduating. He later earned his degree from the University of Wyoming. His interest in politics began early, and he was soon working as an intern for Congressman William Steiger. Cheney’s rise was steady and strategic. He joined the Nixon administration in the late 1960s and eventually served as Chief of Staff under President Gerald Ford from 1975 to 1977. This early experience in the White House introduced Cheney to the inner workings of power at the highest levels. It was during this time that he developed a deep belief in the strength of the executive branch, arguing that the presidency had been weakened after the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. This belief would later define his approach to government and leadership. --- ### Secretary of Defense and the Gulf War Cheney’s most prominent role before becoming vice president came when he served as Secretary of Defense under President George H. W. Bush from 1989 to 1993. During this period, Cheney oversaw one of the most decisive military operations in American history—the Gulf War. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Cheney played a key role in planning and executing Operation Desert Storm, which successfully liberated Kuwait in early 1991. The Gulf War was seen as a turning point for U.S. military strategy, showing the effectiveness of modern technology, coalition building, and precise strikes. Cheney’s cautious and calculated leadership style earned him respect within the Pentagon and among allies. However, he also gained a reputation for being secretive and firm in his decision-making, qualities that would continue to define him later in his career. --- ### Vice Presidency under George W. Bush When George W. Bush ran for president in 2000, Cheney was initially in charge of finding a suitable running mate. Ultimately, Bush chose Cheney himself, believing that his experience and knowledge of Washington would be invaluable. Cheney’s time as vice president from 2001 to 2009 fundamentally redefined the office. Traditionally seen as a ceremonial role, the vice presidency became a center of influence under Cheney. He was deeply involved in policy decisions, particularly in defense and foreign affairs. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Cheney became one of the main architects of the War on Terror. He strongly advocated for the invasion of Afghanistan to dismantle the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and later pushed for the 2003 invasion of Iraq under the argument that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. While no such weapons were found, Cheney defended the war as necessary to protect national security. He also supported the use of enhanced interrogation techniques, secret detention centers, and expanded surveillance programs. These policies drew heavy criticism from human rights organizations and political opponents, who argued that they violated constitutional and moral boundaries. Nevertheless, Cheney remained steadfast in his belief that such measures were essential to prevent further terrorist attacks. --- ### Public Image and Controversy Dick Cheney’s image in American history is deeply divided. Supporters view him as a strong, decisive leader who put national security above politics and acted in the best interest of the country during one of its most dangerous times. They credit him with stabilizing the U.S. after 9/11 and reshaping America’s defense systems. Critics, however, accuse Cheney of overstepping presidential powers, misleading the public about Iraq, and normalizing government secrecy. His influence behind the scenes earned him the nickname “the shadow president,” a reflection of how powerful he was within the Bush administration. The media often portrayed him as a man who preferred control over publicity, and who valued results over popularity. --- ### Life After the White House After leaving office in 2009, Cheney wrote his memoir, “In My Time,” offering his perspective on the major events of his career. He defended his actions as necessary for national security and expressed little regret for controversial decisions. He also underwent several heart surgeries throughout his life and received a heart transplant in 2012. In later years, Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney became a prominent political figure, serving as a Republican congresswoman and becoming known for her criticism of former President Donald Trump. This created renewed attention to the Cheney family’s ongoing role in American politics. --- ### Common Questions About Dick Cheney **Who is Dick Cheney?** He is a former U.S. vice president, defense secretary, and influential conservative leader known for his strong stance on national security and foreign policy. **Why is Dick Cheney controversial?** He is controversial because of his role in the Iraq War, his support for aggressive counterterrorism measures, and his expansion of executive power. **What did Dick Cheney do after 9/11?** He helped design U.S. policy for the War on Terror, supporting military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and authorizing expanded surveillance and interrogation programs. **What is Dick Cheney’s legacy?** Cheney’s legacy is one of both strength and controversy. He is remembered as one of the most powerful vice presidents in history, whose influence changed the way the U.S. approaches security and war. --- Dick Cheney’s life and career tell the story of power, conviction, and the cost of leadership in uncertain times. Whether admired or criticized, his influence on modern American politics is undeniable. He reshaped the vice presidency, steered national security policy during a global crisis, and redefined the balance between freedom and security. His decisions continue to spark debate, but they also demonstrate the enduring complexity of leadership in a world where safety and liberty often collide.
