My Review of "The Transformers: The Movie (1986)"
The Transformers: The movie (1986) is a transformative movie that has affected many young boys of the era. I happen to be one of them. It really was a game changer because back in the day TV shows didn't really get their own movies very often.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Saved by the Bell (2021): Season 2"
Saved by the Bell (2021): Season 2 has finally come out. There's a nice blend of nostalgia, craziness and new spin to keep this on my watch list. The first season was a hoot to watch. They married just enough nostalgia to keep older fans watching while staying fresh with current times. The new roster is filled with an amazingly charismatic roster.

When Tom Holland's Spider-Man burst onto the scene in Civil War you knew as a long time fan of Marvel that the character would be a major factor going forward. Tom has since starred in the biggest Marvel movies of all time and Spider-Man: No Way Home may become the biggest.
Reel VibesPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Matrix Resurrections"
The Matrix Resurrections is the latest movie in all the call back movies we've had as of late. We just had the newest Ghostbusters revival with Ghostbusters: Afterlife and I would consider the newest Spider-Man: No Way Home as another revival. They're bringing all of these older intellectual properties back into the forefront.

Here are another 5 A24 gems for you to prize your eyes on, enjoy. 1. Minari (2020) A dreamlike tale of a Korean-American family seeking the American dream. Minari truly gives it all, family drama, lighthearted comedy, beautiful landscapes, a soothing and adventurous soundtrack and powerful performances from Steven Yeun and Yeri Han. Alan Kim plays David perfectly, hitting all the right comedic tones in his dialogue and delivering amazing chemistry with Yuh-Jung Youn who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Soonja, David's Grandma.
Book Review - What Will Happen Next
For this review, I decided on the work of Cendrine Marrouat, a poet, photographer, fiction writer, playwright, and podcaster. Part of her passion for books is not only in the reading and writing aspects of the work but also in supporting indie authors and helping them to solidify their brand.
Amanda JefferyPublished 2 years ago in GeeksSpider-Man: No Way Home Movie Review
Few comic book characters are as popular as Spider-Man. Since his big screen debut nearly twenty years ago, he’s been an able money-maker. With Sony and Marvel teaming up, the character made his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with no drop in fanfare. Pitched as both an emotive conclusion and love letter to the superhero, Spider-Man: No Way Home is successful on both counts.
Robert CainPublished 2 years ago in Geeks"The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo:" P.S. It's Not About the Men
From the invigorating dedication (“Smash the patriarchy, sweetheart”) to the 400th page of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,” the utter confidence of the author is flawlessly transfused into the novel’s 79-year-old main character, Evelyn Hugo. Evelyn is a retired Hollywood icon who has spent decades secluded from the media, only to suddenly propose an ultimatum: a chance to publish an exposé on her enigmatic, carefully-concealed life, written by undiscovered Vivant-magazine newcomer Monique Grant, or nothing.
My Review of "Hawkeye: Season 1"
Hawkeye: Season 1 was a bit of a surprise to me when they first announced this TV show. It seems as though all of the Avengers have some sort of spotlight feature film or TV show. Naturally Hawkeye had to have his own show as well. The thing about Hawkeye was that he had a really small role in the Avengers. I became curious as to what they're going to do with this character.

Holiday-influenced movies are generally tied to only one season, so there are only a handful of films that can boast being watchable at both Christmas and Halloween. <i>The Nightmare Before Christmas</i> based on the short story by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick is one such movie. Being set between Halloween and Christmas, the film boasts visual elements from both holidays, even if they lean closer to the more surreal and spooky designs of the former. Because of this, the film is widely debated as whether it is a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie. While the simple answer can be summed up as “yes” or “whatever,” I do have a definitive answer, myself: it’s clearly a Christmas film. As a result, for the holiday season, I wanted to review this classic and analyze WHY I have this opinion.
The Matrix (1999)
Yet another childhood favourite that I’m seeing be remade and, of course, I wanted to give the original some attention before I saw the new one. <i>The Matrix</i> was a fun action movie that I didn’t quite understand then, but I still appreciated the action. Because I’ve grown up now, I’m able to understand some of the finer aspects of the film’s philosophy and psychology. Now, it is true that some things in this movie don’t hold up (such as nitpicky details in dialogue and plot) but, that being said, I still think this movie is just as good, maybe better, than it ever has been. As I understand it, there have been many books published on <i>The Matrix</i> and what, exactly, it means in terms of humanity, choice, and freewill.
No Way Home Is The Best Spiderman Movie
No Way Home is the best spiderman movie Well at least for live action spiderman movies because the spider-verse is incredible, but yeah No Way Home is my new favorite spiderman movie of all time and definitely in the top three of MCU films, which is crazy because looking at the plot on paper seems too wacky to be good. Seriously if you told me that villains from the previous spiderman films (Green Goblin, Dr. Ock, Lizard, Sandman, and Electro) was going to come back, and Andrew and Tobey’s spiderman are going to pop in with Tom Holland’s spiderman, and there would be Dr. Strange and a cameo from a certain someone all in one damn movie? I would have laughed. Then on top of it all liked it? Yeah right.
