Harry Potter: Who Each Main Character Should Have Ended Up With
The wizarding world of Harry Potter is vast and populated with diverse characters from all walks of life. At the end of the last film, only a few couples are confirmed, while the fates of other characters are unknown. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are among those who have all married to live happily ever after, but not all of the matches are ideal.

#60yearsofJamesBond: A View to a Kill
"A View to a Kill" was, in many ways, an ending for the Bond franchise. A full stop on a type of Bond film that dominated the series for many years; an ending for various players who had become intrinsic parts of the series and its continued success. Over the years, it is one that, like a fair amount of the late 70s/early 80s Bond films, has come in for a large amount of criticism, and is one that Bond fans and aficionados do not look back on with much affection. Many take issue with the campy comedy. Some take issue with Roger Moore's advancing age. Others take issue with the story and the plot, as well as some of the guest acting from Christopher Walken, Grace Jones and Tanya Roberts. However, to this Bond fan, "A View to a Kill" does represent a bridge between the previous thirteen films, and what was to come later under Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, with some attempts to bring the Bond films forward into the 1980s. It's just a shame that there's also plenty of things holding this film back - often things that, if the producers were more daring, wouldn't have been problems.

A Lack of Class Consciousness: Doctor Strange and Pizza Poppa in the Multiverse of Privilege
The film, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness introduces audiences to Pizza Poppa. The scene featuring this recently added hero may be jarring to moviegoers in its brevity. One can see from the clearly abbreviated appearance that MCU newcomer, Pizza Poppa was intended to be a costar of the film assisting Doctor Strange, most likely operating at night in the 838 universe to slow Wanda Maximoff's progress buying time for Strange and Chavez. Pizza Poppa, played with grace and pathos by veteran actor Bruce Campbell of Hudsucker Proxy fame, spends his days trying to make ends meet as a street vendor requiring that he relegate his crime fighting efforts to night time, much like many people in the so called gig economy who have to work multiple jobs to get by. The hints that audiences witness could leave some folk questioning why the original plan for the film was abandoned for more standard fare, perhaps fear on the part of wealthy elitists that a (quite literally) hero from the streets placed in juxtaposition to the upper class snobbery of Doctor Strange would prompt a class uprising?

Jurassic World Dominion: A Fantastic Fanale
Jurassic World: Dominion has finally hit theaters worldwide and as a big Jurassic Park fan, I have to say this was a great conclusion to a franchise that has spun nearly 30 years. When filmmakers decide that it is time to close the book on a long standing series that has captivated fans of the world of entertainment, crafting a great finale is no easy job and it takes a lot of work just to hit the right notes to satisfy fans with a proper finale. When putting together the proper conclusion the main tools you'll need is an ensemble of characters, a solid plot that represents the growth and evolution of the story that was there before, energetic moments of nostalgia that are callbacks to earlier points in the series that fans loved, and last but not least, giving all the characters (especially the OG characters) a proper send off. Jurassic World: Dominion uses all of these components just right in this great series finale.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull review
(spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 2008) As everyone knows, there are only three Indiana Jones movies, but if there were a fourth one, this would be my review of it. Let’s be absolutely clear, though: there are only three Indiana Jones movies.

Films of our Fathers.
Father's Day is the day when we honor all the paternal figures in our lives. With Father's Day having just passed I thought it would be a good idea for all the movie buffs out there to write this article looking back at several great films that show why fatherhood is worth while and should always be appreciated. The love of a father and lessons of fatherhood can be expressed in a number of ways and those ways can be expressed through tones of laughter, persistence and dedication, so without further a do, lets take a look at a few films that exemplify these qualities the best.

Bad Movie Drinking Game - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
The 2017 action/sci-fi/romance/banter comedy Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one of the most insane movies I've ever seen. It's one of those movies that's so all over the place, so over-the-top, that it makes you feel drunk even if you haven't had a drop of alcohol. But it's enhanced by actually having alcohol. As usual, if you sincerely love this movie, or any of the movies I will ever describe as "bad," please know that badness is not an objective trait or even a negative quality. All movies can bring joy and are art, and there's a special place in my heart for this one. It was one of the first my boyfriend and I watched as a drinking game, and along with the Percy Jackson movies, it proved the concept a complete success.

Documentary Review: Misguided 'Rondo and Bob' Goes Big and Comes Up Short
Rondo and Bob is a strange documentary. The film purports to tell the story of Robert (Bob) Burns, the legendary propmaster and set designer for the horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and his obsession with forgotten monster movie star, Rondo Hatton. What we actually get is a confounding series of re-enactments of each man’s life and a few disconnected talking head segments about Burns’ strange life.
