Movie Review: Memory is Deeply Forgettable
Memory is yet another brain-free bullet fest from Liam Neeson. This time it’s even more potentially offensive as Neeson uses dementia and alzheimers as the tragic backstory for his violent character. In Memory, Neeson is a killer for hire who is slowly slipping into permanent memory loss and it’s as dubious a plot device as you imagine. Why anyone thought that using alzheimers and dementia would be a great backdrop for a generic action movie is beyond me but here we are.

I saw The Batman... and it's really, really bad
I'm very confused about the public reception of the newest version of Batman's story. I don't have a problem with Robert Pattinson as Batman, except for the fact that I view Batman as a person who is much, much older than I am. In my opinion, if DC wants to create a new Batman film with a younger protagonist, they should Dick Grayson. Fans have been clamoring for the rest of the Batfamily to be included in the cinematic universe for years, and yet the film industry insists on sticking to the same story, told over and over and over again.

Disney's Frozen Through the Eyes of GAD. Top Story - April 2022.
This analysis is based solely on the film Frozen (2013) with no influence from its sequel, Frozen II (2019). The Walt Disney Corporation has been at the heart of a lot controversy and criticism lately. As a diehard Disney fan, even I have been furious with the company for multiple reasons. However, that does not negate the power of its franchises or the influence that its characters have on both children and adults alike. Children dress as their favorite Disney characters for Halloween. Adults share their favorite Disney movies and TV shows with their children. In America, if not most first-world countries, the ultimate family vacation involves some form of Disney attraction such as one of the theme parks or a cruise. On a cultural and psychology level, though, the company’s greatest influence stems from the complex socio-psycho-cultural themes that can be eked out of Disney films.

My Review of "The Bubble"
The Bubble is Netflix's newest blockbuster comedy to start streaming on their platform. Admittedly, I didn't have too much interest in watching this movie. It looked pretty hokey and generic. My expectations for this movie weren't that high. Luckily for me it wasn't as bad of a movie as I had anticipated.

Thor: Love and Thunder are setting records and making MCU history in
Thor: Love and Thunder are setting records and making MCU history in front of its July release, which goes a long way past it being the first time an MCU solo legend has gotten the fourth film. Its presentation trailer dropped just 82 days before the film's release (a historically short advertising window), and it figured out how to acquire the fourth-most views ever for a trailer released on the web.

Finn & Poe - A Star Wars Tale
Beginning with the initial announcement of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, back in October 2012 by the Walt Disney Company, fans have had a series of conflicting opinions. After a progression of negotiations, George Lucas allowed Disney to acquire Lucasfilm, citing reasons for retirement. This deal would end up being one of the most controversial/splitting decisions in the eyes of the fans who would later view it as an absolute, definitively determining if the Sequels were good or bad. It’s especially dividing when one considers the fact that Disney disregarded George Lucas’s own plans/ideas for the sequels. But whichever way your opinion falls for the Sequel Trilogy, it’s likely that you Poe Dameron & Finn. Two characters from the core trio (Rey being the last member) whose relationship with each other boomed in popularity just from the initial trailers for ‘The Force Awakens’. A large portion of the audience instantly found this pair to be incredibly endearing and the idea of them possibly being romantic took off sensationally fast. This even extended past the general audience, thanks to the kind & open nature of ‘Star Wars’ actors Oscar Isaac & John Boyega, they were not afraid to share and encourage speculations of their characters' sexualities. StormPilot, as Finn/Poe is commonly referred to, has brought one of the most public/popularized discussions of LGBTQA+ representation and is wonderfully hard to ignore.

Documentary Review: 'Stu's Show' is a Documentary about Showbiz, Love and Healthcare
Stu’s Show begins as one kind of documentary and ends as something completely different, richer, and more thoughtful. What looks like the story of a Hollywood outsider who became an unlikely ally and friend to the stars of the Golden Age of Television, slowly morphs into a harrowing story about our modern Healthcare system and the people on the fringes of society who are forced to struggle and risk death to get the care they need from an often uncaring and indifferent healthcare system.

Movie Review: 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent' is the Funniest Movie of 2022 So Far
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent stars Nicolas Cage in arguably his greatest role, playing himself. Rather, I should say, Nicolas Cage is not playing himself but the pop cultural conception of who we think Nicolas Cage is. Nick Cage, if you will. This conception of Cage as a bizarre egomaniac obsessed with his own fame, struggling with money, and deeply weird is built on some foundations of truth, gossip, and the perceptions created by Cage’s many iconic film performances. It’s an utterly brilliant meta-creation that gives audiences the Nicolas Cage we want while distancing the actor from our perceptions with a layer of creative irony and detached humor.

The Northman and the Meteoric Rise of Nordic Fantasy
The fantasy genre has been on an interesting journey since the turn of the millennium. In the 2000s, it was all about traditional Tolkien-style fantasy, spearheaded by the Lord of The Rings trilogy from Peter Jackson. For years, it would set the blueprint for big-budget epics going forward. At the turn of the 2010s, a new sub-genre entered the scene, Nordic Fantasy, which hails from Scandinavian society. While it utilises similar elements, namely a mixture of swords and sorcery, this version is defined by its setting and elements of real history.
