'Romeo and Juliet'
Everyone knows about the play Romeo and Juliet; the story of two young star crossed lovers from two rival families who marry in secret and take their lives. A simple, straight forward story, right? So why are there so many diverging versions of it??? I mean all the versions I’ve seen have the same story line as its base, but takes liberties with how we see it. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. But it adds so many layers to an already established story.

Does 'Toy Story 4' Line Up with the End of 'Toy Story 3'?
Recently, I wrote an article about how Toy Story 4 probably won't ruin the ending of Toy Story 3. After seeing the fourth movie and thinking it over, I wondered whether or not I ought to eat my words (though I'd say that words are editable, not edible). I think it definitely changes how I view the end of Toy Story 3. So here lies the question: Does Toy Story 4 line up with the end of Toy Story 3? I believe the answer is... yes and no. I know, that sounds like a cop-out answer. I'm no Lotzo, but bear with me here.

The Perfect Order to Watch All the 'X-Men' Movies
Last year, I published an article called, "The Perfect Order to Watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Movies," where I wrote about the Spaghetti Order, an MCU watch order that connects each Marvel film together with their after-credits scenes.

'Batman Returns' - That Other 'Nightmare Before Christmas'
With the success of Batman in 1989, a sequel was inevitable. That sequel was Batman Returns, released in 1992. For this sequel, director Tim Burton was given more creative control. The result is a more Gothic interpretation of Gotham and its villains. With a plot leading up to Christmas and music by Danny Elfman (again), this feels like a taste of what was to come in Tim Burton's 1993 classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. I could imagine Danny DeVito's Penguin as a resident in Halloween Town. The stitching aesthetic of Catwoman's suit reminds me of Sally. My nostalgia for Nightmare might be partly why I prefer Batman Returns over the previous film. To me, the pacing also feels better as Batman faces three main villains.

'The Simplest Thing Is to Complicate Everything' - Review (Netflix)
Upper-middle-class Renata (Danna Paola) has been in love with Leo (Alosian Vivancos) all of her life. Her brother, Oscar (Eduardo Tanus) is Leo’s best friend and work colleague. Renata has the raging hormones of a seventeen-year-old girl/young woman coursing through her, as well as having an extremely fertile imagination.

'Batman' (1989) - Looking Good at Thirty
Thirty years ago saw the release of the Tim Burton-directed Batman movie, starring Michael Keaton as Batman, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. When you watch it, you see a Gotham City that, despite having some characteristics of the present time of the film's release (such as Prince's music and Vicki Vale's 1980s fashion style), is heavily dominated by aesthetics of the 1940s, a trend that would carry over into the 1992 Batman: The Animated Series. It seems like a surreal, anachronistic marriage of time periods, but it works. Even when one watches it today. The film feels very much like a comic book, with little regard to when exactly it is supposed to take place and what would be authentic to a specific point in history. And while the film no longer resembles the present, it has aged very well.
