White Noise Movie Ending Explained
In the beginning of the story, we see a man named Murray on the screens, who is giving a lecture in a hall on accident development, but he says that as accidents are happening over time, they should be looked at from a different perspective.

The Whale
Brendan Fraser has been off the big screen for years now, many of us remember him being our strong and sexy movie crush when we first saw The Mummy and he's generally known as one of the sweetest humans on the planet. So when his new movie was announced the world seemed genuinely proud of him and happy for him. Having now seen the film I am glad to say that all of that pride and excitement was worth it.

Babylon
So the end of 2022 was kind of insane and we didn’t get to see as many movies as we would have liked so January is going to be my catch up month. These will not count towards the year end review of films for 2023 but will be added to the year end review for 2022. So first up we have the second Margot Robbie film of 2022, Babylon. Babylon got a lot of bad reviews, with around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes from both critics and audience members, and as always I am here to say that everyone that wrote negative reviews about this film are stupid and wrong.

Devotion
AMC A-List has been such a blessing for someone who creates all of her content around film and tv, Devotion was a film that my husband really wanted to see and I honestly went into the movie knowing absolutely nothing about it. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that's my favorite way to go into films. I like going in having absolutely no expectations whatsoever. I was hooked after the first five minutes. I have a very specific thing for war movies that center around aviators, I went through a very long Pearl Harbor and Flyboys phase. Devotion is an excellent addition to my favorite flier movies.

Nellie LaRoy is the 'Pretty Woman' of 'Babylon'
When Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) first appears on screen in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much she looked like Julia Roberts’ character (Vivian Ward) at the beginning of Pretty Woman. You know, before Richard Gere gives her $3,000 and a new wardrobe to transform her into a suitable escort for his week of business meetings in Los Angeles. Nellie’s big curly hair, skin-tight red halter dress, and black ankle boots are certainly more reminiscent of 1990 than 1926, the year Chazelle’s lavish film about the early days of Hollywood begins. Is this intentional? Are we meant to see in Nellie LaRoy’s journey as a Hollywood it-girl a deconstruction of Vivian Ward’s “Cinderella” transformation?

Into 1933's Wonderland
Welcome to the first installment of our journey through Fantasy literature and media. We will be featuring works that qualify to be in the fantasy genre and alternating between those in modern media and literature. Today we feature our first motion picture, Alice in Wonderland, from 1933. I selected this one as the earliest feature film with sound (generally available to our readers) to represent the starting point of Fantasy in modern cinema. It's true that before the advent of talkies in 1927, other titles embarked on Fantasy based topics, but I chose to start with talkies to make history more accessible. I may return to the silent era in future iterations, as their contributions were undoubtedly valuable. Also, while there is much overlap between Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction, we are attempting to stay firmly planted in the Fantasy realm. So let's dig in, shall we?

The Whale
This reflection contains spoilers Last week, I trotted off lightheartedly to the cinema to see Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, knowing little about it beyond that Brendan Fraser’s performance as Charlie had received critical acclaim. I left the cinema shaking, with tears streaming down my face, and spent the rest of the evening replaying as much of it as I could remember, as well as poring over professional reviews and comment threads on various websites. A story of grief, love, self-loathing and addiction and a sliver of hope, The Whale is an intensely intimate and tragic glimpse into the complicated nuances of being human, the ripple effects of our choices, and the impacts we have on each other’s lives. I have read criticisms that this film reduces Charlie to little more than his size, and that the film is too dramatic. I disagree. Charlie’s size is of critical importance as it is a direct result of his crippling addiction, and the reasons for his addiction are what have propelled him to the place where we find him now: dying, and desperate to reconnect with his angry, estranged daughter. A story of this nature is inherently difficult to watch and necessarily contains dramatic elements, and Aronofsky skilfully plunges us into these realities and forces us to uncomfortably find elements of ourselves in the characters onscreen.

12 Most Important Moments In MCU Phase 4 Films
Phase Four of the MCU has received a mixed reception from fans, but in it's defense, the phase had a lot to do, and a very tough act to follow. It had to begin building a new story after the conclusion of the decade-long Infinity Saga in Avengers: Endgame, and was also the first phase to include streaming TV series as a part of that storytelling.
