Marilyn Monroe: Very Good Player or Fool for Love?
When people think of Marilyn Monroe, they often picture a platinum blonde with a breathy voice and a flirtatious smile. But behind the camera, Monroe was far more complicated than her public image suggested. A sex symbol on the surface, she was also a sharp strategist who navigated a brutal industry dominated by powerful men. Still, despite her ambition and intellect, Monroe’s personal life often reflected a woman desperate for love, stability, and validation—sometimes at a dangerous cost. So, was Marilyn Monroe a very good player or a fool for love? The answer might be: both.

My Review of "Superman III"
Superman III came out in 1983 and in a way it was forward thinking. Unfortunately, that forward thinking didn't really translate to a good entry into the franchise. I'm so disappointed because the first two movies were actually pretty good. This movie doesn't even focus that much on Superman. It's a shame because this movie doesn't know what it wanted to be. They added a whole slop full of stuff onto a board and just made that movie.

Lilo & Stitch (2025): Does the Live-Action Remake Capture the Original's Magic?
Some animated films feel less like movies and more like childhood memories. The 2002 classic Lilo & Stitch is one of them. It was a quirky, emotional, and refreshingly different story that taught a generation about 'Ohana'—the idea that family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. So, when Disney announced a live-action remake, the collective reaction from fans was a mix of excitement and nervous hesitation. Could they possibly recapture the lightning in a bottle that made the original so special?

I Am Frankelda - A Critical Review
Two weeks ago, I unwittingly attended the North American premiere of I Am Frankelda (Yo Soy Frankelda), and it left me feeling some kind of way. I'm not sure that there is a word in the English language to explain the very specific feeling that I Am Frankelda evoked in me, but I do know that I am more than willing to try and encapsulate it in a few hundred words, instead.
