'The Secret of the Sword' (1985): When He-Man and She-Ra Hit Theaters as a 90-Minute Commercial
I Have the Power. Do I Have to Watch This? I was a He-Man kid. I had the toys. I watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Saturday mornings. I remember the appeal of the whole ridiculous enterprise: the muscles, the magic swords, the monsters, the villains, and the general understanding that the fate of the universe could usually be settled by somebody shouting loudly enough.

What If Iman Vellani Helped Shape Marvel’s Future? Turning Superhero Fandom Into a Global Movement for Literacy and the Arts.
Picture this: Marvel shifting its focus away from securing A-list stars for the upcoming Avengers movie, the Disney+ show slated for next year, or even from the whole notion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it.

I'm glad Jeff Fowler changed Sonic's design
Seven years ago, I wrote a blog about two popular video games turned into films, and I shared my opinion on them. The films were Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm just going to be honest: I was totally disgusted by Sonic's design and the film. He looks absolutely fake and absolutely terrifying. Unlike Pokémon, you can literally see that Sonic's design doesn't match the film's environment, and he looks nothing like the game.

I Watched 10 Hours of Short Dramas. Then I Tried to Read a Book.
1. The trending topic says “dumbing down.” Users post ten-hour screenshots. The hashtag #HongguoShortDramasAreDumbingPeopleDown trended. Some users posted screen-time reports: ten hours a day on Hongguo Short Dramas. Ten hours looks like this. You open the app when you wake up. You eat with it, take it to the bathroom, plug in the charger. The screen dims and lights up again. One episode ends. Another starts. By evening the phone is hot, your eyes are dry, and your head feels empty. You open a book. You know every word. None of them stay.

There's a hero in all of us
After the incredible success of Spider-Man in 2002, everybody was expecting a sequel to come out. Superhero movies had been around for awhile, but in the early 2000's the genre was just exploding. Marvel had had success in the film industry with films like Blade, X-Men, and of course, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. I was not even 4 years old when this movie released, so I don't remember much about it when I was younger. In fact, I mainly got into watching it when I was in my late teens, so all my memories and thoughts aren't that of genuine nostalgia or anything. It's memories of seeing awkward moments that had been talked about and joked about for nearly a decade and a half. But at the time, it was one of the hugest movies in the entire world. People still consider it the best live action Spider-Man movie to date. If you asked me a few years ago I would quickly agree, but after the run of Tom Holland for the past decade it isn't so cut and dry. So I wanted to dive in and talk about why people say this movie is not only one of the best Spider-Man movies, but one of the best superhero movies in general.

Raw Courage (1984): Ronny Cox’s Desert Passion Project
A Hometown Gamble in the New Mexico Desert Hollywood loves a good underdog story. Preferably one with a happy ending, a little redemption, and somebody standing on a mountain while the music swells.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Didn’t Die Overnight. Here’s the 25-Year Slide.
Introduction: The Quiet End In 2025, after 25 years, the Yu-Gi-Oh! TV anime series ended. The news moved through fan circles. Outside them, it barely landed. No farewell special. No trending topic. Not much regret. An IP that once had kids arguing at recess over Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon left almost in silence.

Heart of the Beast: Movie Review
If you're a dog lover, you need to brace yourself for this movie. There are very few things that can make me break down and sob uncontrollably quite as easily as watching the deep, emotional bond between a man and his dog unfold on screen. Over the years, we've built up quite the catalogue of dog movies infamous for traumatising audiences, from Marley & Me and Old Yeller to the absolutely soul-crushing and heart-shattering Hachi: A Dog's Tale (a movie I still refuse to rewatch to this day after spending hours crying over it). We now have a new addition to this list: Heart of the Beast , the new Brad Pitt movie.

Why Marvel’s Mutants Can Never Be “Easily Co-Opted” — And Why That Fantasy Keeps Coming Back
In many discussions about mutants, highly upvoted answers often display a strange optimism: since mutants are powerful, human governments only need to give them official positions, honors, jobs, and exemptions, and they can “co-opt” the X-Men and even the entire mutant population as super civil servants. Those who can fight go into the military, those who can read minds go into interrogation, those who can control fire go into power generation, those who can heal go into medicine, and the weak can be assigned marginal posts. As if the mutant problem were merely a “human resource allocation” problem, solvable easily as long as the interests are sufficiently served.

Digger: Movie Review
Few films in recent years have sparked as much online debate and discourse as Digger , for better or worse. Even though the movie has been out for less than two weeks, it already seems to be on a clear trajectory towards becoming a cult classic among movie lovers. Those who have seen it and fallen in love with it have been raving about the film, going so far as to describe it as one of the most important and extraordinary movies to have come out in recent years. On the other side of the debate, however, those who disliked the film have criticised it for being heavy-handed in its messaging, preachy in its themes and overly self-indulgent in its execution. One thing is for certain: Digger is about as polarising as a movie can get.
