Dennis the Menace - A Movie Review
I’d be careful. Dennis is no ordinary kid. He is a menace! Dennis the Menace arrived in theaters in 1993. Based on the comic strip, George Wilson has been harassed by his next-door neighbor, a 5-year-old kid named Dennis Mitchell. When his parents need to go away, they have no other place to turn to, sending their son to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson for the weekend.

Jane Eyre and 9 Other Moody Period Dramas
Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre has been adapted for the screen many times, but the 2011 film adaptation is perhaps the most successful in capturing the Gothic moodiness of the novel. Mia Wasikowska portrays the titular character, imbuing Jane with a sense of innocence despite her rough childhood. When Jane becomes the governess at Thornfield Hall, she is thrust into an environment of isolation and secrecy. The mysterious Edward Rochester (Michael Fassbender) who owns the property is rarely present, and when he is, he is alternately reticent and remarkably perceptive. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of his enigmatic nature, Jane feels drawn to him.

Yibambé: a review and analysis of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Do you know what the term “Yibambé” means? In the African language known as Xhosa it means “Hold Strong”. The term became very popular in 2018 when it was chanted by the Black Panther and the Wakandan empire in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinty War. Yibambé is the perfect term to describe the greatness of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, because this film definitely holds strong. From beginning to end, Wakanda Forever is an emotional roller coaster that will make you laugh, cry, and jump for joy at all of it’s amazing moments. This film had some big shoes to fill when you keep in mind it’s predecessor and deceased leading man and without a doubt did this following film fill those shoes perfectly.

Separating Art from the Artist
Many artists across history are problematic, they have all done, said or live by ideals that are no longer acceptable in the eyes of society. Just to be clear, “cancel culture” isn’t a thing, it's called grown people finally being held accountable for their actions. Jk Rowling and Joss Whedon are two media giants who definitely deserve to be held accountable for their actions, but what does that mean for fans of their work?

Is 'Weird: The Al Yankovic' Story the story that Weird Al Yankovic deserves?
WEIRD: A Weird Al Story is pretty fun if you are a fan of Weird Al. It rides the line between being a parody of biopic movies, while also incorporating elements of Al’s real life. I think it sometimes struggles to balance the tone, and I think it could’ve benefited from being a little bit more weird. I think in parodying the biopic format, you kind of end up just making another generic biopic with different words. It only has a handful of Al’s songs, which are all tied to the plot in certain ways. It works, but I also would’ve liked to see a few more of his songs. But I also realized it was probably a challenge to get the rights to use many of his songs. Yes they are parodies, so there might be some wiggle-room. But also, Al always gets permission to parody other people’s songs, and there are also real people portrayed in the movie like Madona, so I imagine there might have been a lot of legal obstacles to work around. The movie is also super low budget, which occasionally shows.
