Jojo Moyes, "Me Before Y"ou
There are books that may not be literary masterpieces but they make you rediscover the pure and simple pleasure of reading, not only for the desire to dedicate every free moment to them, but also because you end up living in them, feeling part of the story, as if the story was yours too. You wake up in the morning already immersed in that emotion and with that emotion you go to bed in the evening.

Movie Review: 'The Novice' A Sports Movie About the Obsession with Being the Best
Obsessive, compulsive, driven, damaged, out of control, these are some of the ways I could describe the protagonist of the new movie, The Novice. Played by Isabelle Fuhrman, Alex Dall, the protagonist of The Novice, is obsessed with everything she does. Having deemed herself less than others she makes up for her perceived deficiencies by outworking everyone around her with methodical tendencies bordering on insanity. Whether in academics, sex, or sports, Alex’s crazed determination is both impressive and terrifying.

The King’s Man is the origin story portion of The Kingsman film series.

The Movie That Gave Me My Voice
Before I get started on what I'm about to talk about, I want to say that regarding the movie Judas and the Black Messiah, this movie hit me a lot harder than I thought it was going to, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was the jolt I needed in both my craft and with people that practice the same craft like me.

Review: "The Last Duel"
Ridley Scott is a renowned director in the industry who has made some films that are viewed as absolute classics but he also has a bit of a reputation. For all of his great films he has just as many uneven films that feature great set pieces, excellent action but suffer in pacing and overindulgence in being "Ridley Scott." The Last Duel falls somewhere in a weird place between one of his great films and one of his uneven films. He doesn't compromise in his films, for better or for worse, as he has a clear and concise view for all of them even if it doesn't fit for modern times. Along with Scott in the directing chair, the film has incredible talent in front of the camera and on the page. For the first time in a long time, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have penned a script, which may just be one of the weaker parts of the film sadly. The gold they hit on in Good Will Hunting, has not carried over to The Last Duel as it is largely an uneven period piece that takes too long.
