Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - A Disappointing Chapter in the Iconic Franchise" "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" attempts to recapture the magic of the beloved franchise, but unfortunately, it falls flat and ends up tarnishing the legacy of Indiana Jones. The film is a mishmash of weak storytelling, lackluster action sequences, and underdeveloped characters that leaves audiences longing for the glory days of the earlier films.

Male Roles in Society
I saw the movie "Dead Poet's Society" over 30 years ago when I was still in high school and falling more in love with poetry and my English classes. Robin Wiliams starred as the main teacher who is "fired" from the job that he gives up having a normal life for (because "he loves teaching") due to a student committing suicide and leaving the school with no other option. The student (Neal) who committed suicide did so because he could not find a way to make his family happy and be happy for himself. His good family expected him to continue on with his education and become a doctor. They were not extremely wealthy according to Neal, although the scenes show that they were probably upper middle class and the movie suggests that they had planned this "doctor" role for Neal all of Neal's life. Yet Neal did not want to be a doctor, and knowing that his desire to be an actor would cause his family pain, was too painful for him to endure. He felt like he had no choice. He felt trapped in a no-win situation. The story is tragic. Not only did a beloved inspiring teacher lose his job, but a loving couple lost their son, all because there was not enough honesty and compromise in the communications. A sad case of "My way or the highway" ending up in dire consequences.

Nine movies that will make you feel something
When was the last time you watched a film that truly made you feel something? The truth is, most of us treat watching films as a way of passing time, but actually, we rarely engage fully in a film to the point that it makes us happy, sad, angry, or scared. Most of the time, our engagement with films leaves us feeling blah.

Best Nerd Experiences
Obviously a weekend known for amazing nerd experiences was in fact full of amazing nerd experiences and as this was my first SDCC I had a lot of emotional and fulfilling experiences. Though I have thoroughly recapped my time at San Diego Comic Con I wanted to share what some of my favorite moments from the weekend were.

SDCC Recap
SDCC was filled with lots of announcements which of course everyone who wasn’t there has heard about by now. But hearing it from the people actually granting us more nerd content was a truly wonderful experience. Plenty of things social media has already jumped on but I want no nerd left behind! So I just wanted to recap what I thought were the most important announcements from SDCC to make sure that all of my fellow nerds are caught up. From Felicia Day to Invincible we have a lot to talk about.

SDCC Recap
Sunday, our last day of comic con was the slowest day of the weekend (which was a good thing because I was absolutely exhausted from the rest of the weekend) but it was also an amazing ending to an amazing weekend. We got to spend more time in the exhibit hall and we got to experience some more amazing fan experiences.
