Cosplay Conventions Should Be All About Fun and Games.
As a long time cosplayer, I have found it extremely aggravating when people want to cause trouble and drama at conventions. I have seen way too much of it and quite frankly, I am sick of it. My friends and I are in the agreement that these conventions should be our escape from reality.

Oscar Winning Filmmaker Unravels Eliot Spitzer Scandal in New Documentary
Poster Studio : Magnolia Pictures As the Sheriff of Wall Street, Eliot Spitzer certainly accumulated some powerful enemies. And eventually they started talking to each other, according to Alex Gibney, who appeared at the Jacob Burns Film Center with his documentary, Client 9 : The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer. But as the governor's dictatorial style intersected with the well chronicled sex scandal, the three act drama that was his political career could have no other ending.

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is such a Drag
Studio : IFC Films, Poster Boyhood took 12 years to make. Praise is certainly warranted for Richard Linklater and a cast in for the long haul. Unfortunately, the film leaves the viewer feeling as though they’ve also surrendered a decade. The temperament of the title character doing most of the damage.

Knives Out Review
I took my dad to see this film and unfortunately, we had to sit on the very front row in a tiny screening room, but it oddly enough enhanced the ridiculousness and camp of this film. Plus, it was National Popcorn Day (I firmly believe popcorn that's 50% off, tastes infinitely better) and needless to say my dad and I could not stop shoving popcorn in our faces the entirety of this film. This film is the perfect movie theater popcorn film. It felt nostalgic for the classic Agatha Christie "whodunnits" while also bringing a fresh approach. This all-star cast certainly contributed to the delightful chaos of this film.

Birds of Prey
With DC putting out Birds of Prey I think it's important to take a look at the comic book history of this all female team. Starting in 1996 (my birth year) around the characters of Black Canary and Oracle were originally based in Gotham City (the only accuracy I can find in the Birds of Prey movie trailers). In addition to Black Canary and Oracle the team regularly consisted of Huntress and Lady Blackhawk, more recent iterations of the team have included Poison Ivy (who does not have a place in the upcoming film, which makes a grand total of 0 sense to any fan of Harley Quinn). I want to pause to say that any solo Harley Quinn expedition that doesn’t include Poison Ivy is just the worst idea anyone has ever had and it shows me that the decision makers at DC have no idea what the hell they're doing.

The Best of Hugh Grant: About a Boy and The Gentlemen
Hugh Grant is back in theaters with The Gentlemen and in it he has delivered one of the best performances of his career. Grant is electric in the role of a private investigator hired by a newspaper magnate to dig the dirt of a big time drug dealer played by Matthew McConaughey. Grant’s PI is flipping the script on the newspaperman and his deception is insanely good fun in a movie with a wonderfully unique sense of humor.

Throwback Review: 'A Man Apart' 2003
Vin Diesel long felt that Hollywood had pigeonholed him as an action star. With his muscular build and growling speech it's not surprising and his roles in The Fast & The Furious and XXX showed how well suited he was for the genre. Nevertheless, Vin Diesel always hoped to find roles that show he has as much range as brawn. The movie A Man Apart provided him the unique opportunity to combine acting and action. Unfortunately, a script about as deep as a puddle makes acting a challenge no matter how much range you have.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "City Lights" (1931)
"City Lights" (1931) is possibly one of Charlie Chaplin's most famous cinema features and yet, so little people in the 21st century have actually seen it. What we're going to do today, to celebrate the release day of this spectacular film, is go through the following:

10 Life Lessons From The Wolf Of Wall Street
Further note on the image: I was having difficulties uploading an image of The Wolf of Wall Street, so the one chosen must do. Martin Scorsese definitely played his cards right by investing in the film called The Wolf of Wall Street - a highly obscene sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle in the securities industry back in the 80's (the good old days for many. Millennial moi was born too late). Materialism, drugs, sex, alcohol and money ruled the roost. A life of excess, greed, glitz and glamour prevailed over true customer service.

Real Genius: The Film That Flew Under The Retro Radar
Back to the Future, Sixteen Candles, St.Elmo's Fire, Weird Science, and The Breakfast Club all came out in 1985, all have stood the test of time for it's legacy and yet Real Genius had all of those qualities for a good movie yet it flew under the radar and has yet to be acknowledged for the great film that it is. Sure it's a cult movie, but more then that. If you were to look this movie up on tumblr for any fandom for this movie, it's nonexistent. If you were to look up for any possible merchandise for this movie, the only thing you'd find is a t-shirt which has a known band on there, which doesn't really count.
