Damsel
Netflix has really cranked out the original content this year, and I am behind on all of it. Milly Bobby Brown’s Damsel serves up a pretty basic twist on a fantasy story. I think we all could tell from the first look that it was going to be your basic feminist fairytale, which isn’t inherently bad but it is all in the execution. And if we are being completely honest I don’t really have a lot of faith in Netflix writers. They seem more concerned about simply getting out content than creating and telling stories. But here we go with my actual review of Damsel.

Otaku Girl (Book Review): Where Memes and Literature Mix
Last year, I was lucky to stumble upon the book Escapist Dream by Louis Bulaong. It’s a story about this virtual reality world where people can visit and transform themselves into real comic book, anime, and video game characters. It’s basically this pop culture gamelit book for geeks which, as a fellow geek myself, instantly loved. While it’s gotten mixed reviews as expected from a book of its genre, it has gotten recognition for being the quintessential book for geeks.

My Review of "Twisters"
Twisters is sort of a reboot of an old popular movie from the 90s called Twister. It's aptly named because there are a ton of twisters in this movie and it's kind of ridiculous. I have to give this movie some credit because we haven't had a disaster movie in a while. Though the devastation of this movie is isolated to some small towns, I'd still consider this a disaster movie. I miss them so maybe that was what triggered me to watch this one.

My Review of "Jurassic Park III"
Jurassic Park III came out back in 2001. I was really hesitant of watching this one because I didn't like the second one that much. There were so many problems with the second one that I thought this third one was going to be a disaster. It's not a great movie but I did like it more than the second one. When watching this movie I had to remember the target audience for this movie was preteens looking for horror. This is what was delivered and I can't fault them for that.
