Spoiler warning for all MCU films, up to and included Black Panther. The release of the third installment of the Marvel Avengers is fast approaching, and many of us fans are worried that our beloved superheroes might not make it out alive.

🐓 'Blockers'—Movie Review
Blockers, for me, was always going to be one of those movies you saw advertised at the cinema and say "that looks pretty funny, I'll go and watch that," and then never do. The opportunity for me to actually go and watch it arose from a spontaneous day out with some friends recently.

The Five Weirdest Things I've Watched on Netflix So Far
So you've probably have been binge watching Netflix and I can't blame you; I'll watch almost anything suggested to me, but there are definitely some shows and movies that take the cake. One time I watched the entire Bee Movie with my friend and at first it was just a joke but for some reason I just can't stop watching it when it comes on. Other than my strange watch history, let me name the five strangest things I've seen so far. Trust me, they are worth the watch.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: How it Works
Someone was asking me how I rank the movies for my "Ranking the Movies" of 2018 column. First and foremost, I recognize the futility and downright silliness of ranking movies. Subjectivity is deeply embedded in this column, it’s not meant to be scholarly, and it’s intended for entertainment and as an excuse for me to share my thoughts on a bunch of movies all at once.

The Writers of 'The Conjuring' Are Taking on the 'Die Hard' Prequel Script
The Die Hard prequel is well underway and has just acquired a horrifyingly good team to take on the script. Yes, there are mixed opinions about this venture but one can’t deny that a story following the exploits of a young and gung-ho John McClane does sounds pretty cool.

Movie Heroes Who Killed Innocent People
What so many people liked about Obama was that he was a cool guy with reasonable ideas. He liked Kendrick Lamar, had sensible policies, and made us feel re-assured when we were faced with tragedy. But he also had the blood of civilian life on his hands. It was a responsibility Obama took very seriously.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 11
A new number one. After several weeks of celebrating my love for my rewatch of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a conversation on the latest Everyone’s a Critic Movie Review Podcast made me finally push a movie past the Jimmy Stewart classic. Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman’s remarkable love story, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, moved me so much in my recent rewatch that I could not stop gushing about it.

'The Graduate'
The cinematography of the The Graduate is beautiful in its practicality. The first frame portrays Ben almost as if to say out-loud "this is our protagonist" and widens as though to say "and this is where he is." It then cuts to a somewhat profile view of him on the travelator which in itself reflects the fact that he is being propelled in life through no will of his own. He could have just as easily been walking, moving himself forward on his own accord, but the travelator is a more accurate representation of his current state and the message of the film. The audience cannot see what is in front of him, which is a reflection of how Ben views his own future; he doesn't know where he's going and the soundtrack is a glimpse into his own subconscious feelings about it. He's worried or even depressed concerning his own assertions of his future. This is expressed aloud by his father when he asks him about his future and Ben responds with ambiguity, which is more accurately portrayed with "The Sound of Silence." Ben's aimlessness is depicted in several other ways through the cinematography such as when he is in the pool drifting in the foreground, seemingly content while his parents are nearly submerged behind him. His aimlessness is perhaps no better depicted, if not most literally, as when he's leaning against his door next to his dartboard. None of the darts are anywhere near the bull's-eye. None of his attempts at happiness have come to fruition. No matter where he lands or what he achieves Ben feels lost or as though he's "missed the mark."

Ever since they announced that the film was being pushed up a week to April 27th, we all have been asking the same question; Is there going to be a second trailer? We are a little over a month away and all we have is that one teaser trailer three months ago.
