Review: 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'—The Best Superhero Film Yet?
I remember when it was announced that the new Spider-Man would be Miles Morales. Despite different versions of the same superhero being a norm as old as comic books themselves, there were the inevitable accusations of pandering to political correctness. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse offers a Spider-Man which feels obvious and essential to a new age of superheroes. It's always a positive for more diverse representation on screen, sure, but this film paints Miles as such a fitting successor to Peter Parker that all of the controversies seem to evaporate.

The Visual Language of 'A Star Is Born'. Top Story - December 2018.
Bradley Cooper is the surprise of the season with his remarkable direction of A Star Is Born. The challenge he set for himself on his first time out behind the camera was daunting to say the least. Not only is Cooper directing himself in the lead role, he’s directing a non-actress, Lady Gaga, in the other lead role. He also had massive logistics to tend to with crowds, music, and stadiums where conditions—we can easily imagine—that were not always conducive to a director desperately trying to capture a needed moment.

My All Time Top Five Christmas Movies
Christmas isn't Christmas without a cracking festive film on the TV in the background while you slowly nod off after too much pudding. There are dozens of Christmas movies, many of them saccharine-sweet and cutesie. The best Christmas films, though, mix festive cheer with grim, spooky, melancholic or downright nasty elements to great effect.

Big Hero Six Is Much Deeper Than You Might Think
Hello Internet! Did any of you guys notice any of these psychological signs during the movie? If not, I am here to point them out to you in case you missed any. This story takes place in a made-up town in San Francisco called San Fransokyo. It is a blend of Tokyo and San Francisco. Due to the fact it is the first-ever partnership between Disney and Marvel. Even the super hero group name in the movie is loosely based on a Marvel comic hero team name in past Marvel comics. The story is about a young boy named Hero. You may have not realized it but this movie is a lot darker than you think. Hero, our main character, is going through a lot of loss and lacks moral reasoning due to it and also being a young boy going through puberty. He only graduated high school at the age of 13 due to the fact he has high mathematical skills. He seems unsure of himself, not sure what to do with his life. He even gets into illegal trouble and starts to bot fight.
