Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Review
Marvel’s Black Panther drew a ton of fanfare in 2018, being widely praised for its blend of tradition and historical trappings. Following the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever was forced to strike out in a different direction. Luckily, Ryan Coogler and company have crafted an enjoyable follow-up that makes the most of the remaining pieces.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has finally come out after so many issues and delays. It's probably one of the most anticipated Marvel movies to come out recently and with good reason. This wasn't going to be an easy feat to get a proper Black Panther sequel without the main character in the movie. Still they did an okay job at it for what they were given.
Brian AnonymousPublished about a year ago in Geeks"Barely Lethal" - A fun and overhated Teen/Action film.
"Barely Lethal" Directed by: Kyle Newman. Written by: Kyle Newman, John D'Arco. Release date: April 23, 2015 This movie released back in 2015, and many critics called it a bad film. While everyone has their own opinion, calling this movie "A waste of time" or "dreadful" as some reviews stated is downright too harsh towards this film. "Barely Lethal" is a fun and comforting film for the most part, many teens can relate to a lot of the aspects of the film. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but it surely isn't a terrible movie by any means. The film had it's cringe moments at times for sure, but nothing to completely ruin the movie. Hailee Steinfeld is an amazing and underrated actress and she had a great performance in this film, her playing a teenager is always a delight to watch.

It all started with a short story: Who Goes There? tells of an expedition in Antarctica that finds an alien frozen for 20 million years, who is over a meter tall, weighs 42 kilograms, has blue hair, green blood, and three glowing red eyes. When scientists thaw it, it comes to life and absorbs everything around it, including humans. It becomes clear that the thing can mimic not only the bodies of others but also their personalities.

November is a familiar month for Lifetime movie fans such as myself; while Lifetime focuses on the holiday themed movies, we do get treated to the usual thrillers on Lifetime Movie Network on Fridays. In the case of the latest film, it was Mother's Deadly Son, which centered on Marianne Davis, a divorced mother of two who tragically became a mother of one, when her older son, Ayden Davis, tragically fell to his death off a the top of a rock mountain. Adding to the tragedy is the fact that Ayden's younger brother, Jacob Davis, finds himself accused of killing his brother, having spent two years being under the cloud of suspicion.

I got the pleasure of seeing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on opening night and I did in fact cry like a little bitch baby within the first 30 seconds. It was an incredibly emotional, heartfelt and touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman and it was genuinely the most incredible Marvel movie for one simple reason, it didn’t feel like a Marvel movie.

Neal Brennan: Blocks is Netflix's latest comedy stand up special for 2022. I've been following some of his work for a little bit now and I can say I'm a bit of a fan of his work. This one felt a lot more personal than his other specials although he does expose a little bit about himself in each of his specials. There's more of a deep dive in this special.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army came out back in 2008. It was 4 years after the original movie. I reviewed the last movie with some positive feedback. It got me wondering why I don't really remember the sequel. I'm sure I watched it but why wouldn't I remember it. After seeing this movie I kind of remember why I forgot about it.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever Review: Ryan Coogler Delivers The Best MCU Film of Phase 4
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Even before we see the first frame of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it is clear that the film is a tribute to Chadwick Boseman. The actor, who played Marvel’s original Black Panther, is ever-present in the film in spirit. And Ryan Coogler’s film beautifully pays tribute to the late actor in perhaps the best way a film can.

Marielle SabbagPublished about a year ago in GeeksDave Chappelle isn’t an Enemy of the Trans Community, He’s an Advocate
Photo by John Bauld Dave Chappelle has gotten a ton of attention with The Closer. His latest Netflix special, the transgender, LBGT and MeToo communities are not happy. Understandable, there’s an onslaught of raucous and down right hurtful jokes aimed at those groups. But people are only offended because they just don’t understand what a real comic does. So as to not leave them hanging, I’m going to explain standup as a civic duty.
