Southpaw - A Movie Review
You need to be confident to win battles. After a fight in the ring, Southpaw was released to theaters in 2015. Billy Hope is a boxing champion. He has it all when tragedy strikes his family. Billy’s fame and confidence deflate as he loses his name and fights custody of his daughter.

Marblehead Little Theatre's 'Something Rotten': A Shakespearean Musical Comedy
It’s time to make an omelette no one will forget. Marblehead Little Theatre whips up a heaping rendition of Something Rotten. Set in the Renaissance era, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom argue about ideas for a new show. They must think outside the eggshells if they’re going to surpass the notorious playwright, William Shakespeare.

My Review of "Twisted Metal: Season 1"
Twisted Metal: Season 1 aired back in 2023 and I'm only now getting a chance to finish watching it. There's just so many shows to watch that it's been put on the backburner until now. I'm familiar with the video game that it's based off of and that's why I got a little more enjoyment when it came to the final episodes of this show.

My Review of "American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship 2024"
American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship 2024 has aired and I'm a little late to the race. I've been following this championship since it's beginning four seasons ago and each year it continues to keep me captivated.

House of the Dragon Ep. 2
We started off the new season of House of the Dragon with a grieving Rhaenyra, blood and cheese and a disgusting display between Alicent and crispy Cole. There is obviously going to be some fallout here in the second episode. With blood and cheese the dance has officially started and now the war is no longer about the throne, it is about vengeance and loss. So let’s get into House of the Dragon season 2 episode 2.

My Review of "Silver Linings Playbook"
Silver Linings Playbook came out back in 2012 but still holds up as one of the better romantic comedies that have come out in the past decade or two. I remember being dumbfounded at how good it was when I first saw it and I'm surprised that I still think it's so great today. It's a perfect mix of chaos and organized planning all in one.

Dr. Strangelove: Or what happens when two geniuses work together
In the thick of the Cold War, Stanley Kubrick created a work of art to reflect the state of human society in arguably the most absorbable form; a satire. As the great Sun Tzu said, all wars are won before they are fought; Dr Strangelove’s brilliance also comes through in its approach of the concept (nuclear war), before the cameras were turned on.

The Twisted Journey of Death and Rebirth
Rebirth, corruption, and the loss of innocence take the center stage in Birdshot (2016). Directed by Mikhail Red, the coming-of-age thriller follows teenager Maya (Mary Joy Apostol) as she struggles to find independence from her father Diego (Ku Aquino) and a newbie policeman Domingo (Arnold Reyes) as he adjusts to the ways of Philippine police mentored by seasoned cop Mendoza (John Arcilla). The characters move against the backdrop of a serene and peaceful rural area around a Philippine Eagle sanctuary with mounds of injustice and corruption brimming just below the surface.

The Fall Guy
Swimming costumes, spicy margaritas, and bad decisions. If you know me, you know I don't like romcoms. I'm not a very big fan of romance at all, really. I'm not a fan of Ryan Gosling, either. (Or at least, I wasn't... that has now changed.) No offence to the guy, I'm sure he's smashing. I just thought (probably unfairly, to be honest) "he's that guy who does romcoms". (He stole the show in Barbie, though.)

The Boys Season 2
The first few episodes of The Boys are out and the internet reaction for the most part has been insufferable. Between internet incels talking shit about Erin Moriarty’s looks and creatively illiterate morons screaming that this season is suffering from “bad writing” (something they couldn’t possibly be more specific about because they have no idea what would actually constitute bad writing) this season of The Boys is certainly being talked about. That said I think the new season is off to a great start and it feels literally exactly like the previous 3 seasons that we have gotten. Before we get started with The Boys season 2, episode 4 let’s do a quick recap up to this point, Butcher is dying, Huey’s mom is back, Firecracker is coming after Starlight and for some reason Sister Sage and The Deep slept together…Okay well here we go.
