'All the Money in the World'
Ridley Scott's latest film ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD tells the story of the miserly Jean Paul Getty, and the kidnapping of his grandson. Based on John Pearson's 1995 book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty, the film follows the refusal of Getty's cooperation to pay a ransom for his abducted grandson in 1973. Gail Harris, Getty's daughter-in-law, gives her all to get her son back with the help of ex-CIA agent Fletcher Chase.

Why 'Titanic' is Problematic
The Problems with the Film This isn't another debate on whether or not Jack could have fit on the door too. Although the 1997 film is fairly historically accurate, I personally have a few problems with the story. I'm not the only one. Family members of survivors have a problem with it, too.

How You Should Show Your Family and Friends 'Star Wars'!
You're hanging with your girlfriend, the lights are getting dim, you guys are having a nice conversation, everything's getting nice, and then all of a sudden, she mentions that she has never watched Star Wars.

Explaining Why Hela Was So O.P. in 'Thor: Ragnarok'
Thor: Ragnarok surprised us all this fall due to basically how underwhelming the last two Thor films were. I know, the first one wasn't that bad, but at the same time, it really wasn't that good either. So, the people at Marvel Studios decided to use Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic's God of Thunder as inspiration; along with a few other stories from the past. And Marvel delivered one of their finest movies to date with Ragnarok.

Don’t Believe Everything You Read
I can see it now. “You LOVED ‘The Last Jedi.’ How can we possibly take you seriously?" Well... Firstly, I stand by my review of the latest in the Star Wars saga, which I’ve seen five times to date and consider easily the finest film in the series since Empire. Don’t argue with me about Luke’s journey not befitting his character. One can easily argue that Ben Kenobi’s extended sojourn in Tatooine was a result of his becoming reclusive and really not watching over Luke, and we can say the same about Yoda on Dagobah. The characters stretched in Jedi, and we received the unexpected.

'Bright': A Review
A Netflix continues its meteoric rise, they expand their range of TV shows and movies in an effort to put their own permanent stamp on the entertainment world. Enter: Bright. This is Netflix's first big-budget movie coming in at costing the company $90 million to make. It was a big gamble for the company, and if the critics are to be believed, then the gamble has failed to pay off. But you know what? 11 million viewers in its first three days tells a very different story of a movie that, despite being panned by the "professional" critics, is still able to draw in a huge viewership. In fact, the story is also very different when you consider the professional critics rating vs the ratings from the fans. Review aggregate, Rotten Tomatoes has Bright sat at 29 percent approval from professional reviewers, while it's sat at 80 percent approval from regular fans. I have to say, I'm very much with the fans on this one.

'Harry Potter' Theory: Did Harry Find the Room of Requirement in His First Year?
Pop quiz! When did we first see the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter? The obvious answer is in The Order of the Phoenix, because that is when they first used it as a classroom for Dumbledore's Army.

Casting the MCU’s Fantastic Four
So last time I put my thoughts together on who should play the MCU’s Sinister Six, and as we know Disney has recently acquired the rights to Fox. Which as a comic book nerd made me very giddy as we all know which comic book characters fox owned. The Xmen and The Fantastic Four. (Not to mention a certain pool of dead as well.)

'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle'—The Surprisingly Awesome Character That Was Bethany
Now I have to say, as films go, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I was gratefully surprised. Not being a computer game fan or even fan of the first film, I went along purely for my brother’s sake. It is one of those occasions where I’m pleased I decided to go with company over seeing Pitch Perfect 3 on my own (a film that I am yet to see).

Why Frozen Should Melt
This is the worst Disney movie to come out of the studio since Home on the Range in 2004. Disney had a nine-year run of good movies. Enter Frozen=Crap. But people LOVE it! They can't get enough of it. Why? Beats me. Tangled and Brave—two other princess movies that proceeded Frozen—were a million times better! So, where did Frozen go wrong?
