Is This Dystopia?
Fantasy is a fickle thing. Sugar to our minds, sweet and oh so addictive. It permeates us all in some way. From when the wheels first begin to turn and our brains start to think, fantasy fills our thoughts, allowing us to see our world and make sense of it. To understand people as characters, and why they do as they do. Fantasy is fickle, but so too is our reality.

The Magic of Stardust & Stormhold
Many fantasy stories have stolen my heart over the years and for different reasons. Harry Potter is full of amazing places, Percy Jackson and the Olympians turns people's flaws into their strengths, and The Chronicles of Narnia is the perfect form of escapism. But as much as I love Hogwarts, Camp Half Blood, and Narnia there is one magical land that seems to encompass the best of all worlds. And that is the kingdom of Stormhold.

The Cinematic World of Oz
The Wizard of Oz has been my favorite fantasy story since infancy, or so I’ve been told. My family owned a small collection of movies on laserdisc in their little apartment, all musicals. The Muppet Movie, Singing in the Rain, and Brigadoon were among them, but The Wizard of Oz was the clear favorite. I knew all the songs and watched it a thousand times.

Feudal China
There are many different fantasy worlds that a lot of people instantly think of, such as the classic worlds of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. The problem with these though is that so many people talk about them all the time and often overlook all the other wonderful fantasy worlds that exist and are being created all the time. The best fantasy worlds have a nice touch of realism and mix in some authentic and rich culture.

My Review of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is Marvel's latest movie entry to phase four of their infamous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). There have been rumblings about this movie for a long time. I think ever since Black Panther had come out there were cries out for an Asian Marvel superhero. We finally have him and his name is Shang-Chi.

Movie Review: 'Giddy Stratospheres' Starring Laura Jean Marsh
Giddy Stratospheres was written by, directed by and stars Laura Jean Marsh as Lara, a well known and well loved London party girl. Lara fancies herself a club promoter though evidence of her actual job is hard to come by. We meet Lara as she is awakening from a one night stand and heading to her favorite local pub for perhaps another one night stand as such trivialities are common to her life, as her best friend Daniel (Jamal Franklin) indicates.

Movie Review: 'Queenpin' Starring Kristen Bell
Queenpins stars Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as bored suburbanite besties who decide to turn their love of coupons into a side business. Of course, if that was all that they did, there would not be a movie made about them. Thus, as Connie and JoJo, Bell and Howell-Baptiste, launch a minor criminal enterprise in order to sell illegal coupons on the internet until they are tracked down by a loss prevention specialist and a Postal Inspector.
