Damsel-a review
Another tale of retold history. This could be a metaphor for indigenous people being overtaken by foreigners. The royal ancestors came to the land but found out a creature last of its kind already lived there. They set upon the creature and lied saying that the beast set upon them so they had to defend themselves. They killed her young unprovoked and right when they hatched. She didn't even get to see them. The King(Matt Slack) killed her babies and asked for mercy. The audacity.

A lesson about cowardice. Maddie took the easy way out in love and profession. She used Paul to share her thoughts and used the wish to attain a relationship. Paul may have used her for his image but she used him to avoid responsibility. People are often afraid of their potential greatness and Maddie was. During Paul's book reading, she recited the lines along with him but kept minimizing her contribution. She was not brave enough to confess her feelings to Paul in both universes but carried on with the wish. Thankfully, being with James allowed her to realize her self-worth and heightened her bravery.

'Vive AkughaPublished 10 days ago in GeeksDamsel teaches the importance of vengeance
After Eleven from the Stranger Things series, Millie Bobby Brown is known for her Enola Holmes character in the 2 character-titled movies. She is no stranger to portraying strength in women and she continues to do so as Elodie in 2024's Netflix movie, Damsel. It is yet another production where Millie Bobby Brown runs away from danger, confronts danger, and cuts her hair. On a more serious note, the movie's focus on vengeance through strength, trust, and teamwork is rather interesting.

MegaFlix Film AwardsPublished 10 days ago in Geeks9-1-1
On a journey to writing a very long essay about queer representation in media I am throwing myself into very necessary research. So in light of recent events we will be starting 9-1-1. I have seen many clips of this show on TikTok but I have yet to actually watch a full episode. That said I will be taking my thoughts season by season, as I do, on my way to writing this much longer essay, also Angela Bassett is in it and that’s enough reason for me to watch anything. So here we go with the first season of 9-1-1.

Uff watched a web series named Baby Reindeer on Netflix, even though it has a baby in the name, but I would highly suggest that children stay away from this web series because of type of theme that this show puts in front of you and the things that it will explore in front of you are quite dangerous. After watching the show, those things will force you to think.

Ayush VermaPublished 11 days ago in GeeksMy Review of "Monkey Man"
Monkey Man is a crazy action movie that was released recently in 2024. Although it is a revenge movie, this is nothing like the John Wick movie you think it might be. Through the trailers for this movie that's what I thought I would be getting. If that's what you're looking for you will be satisfied closer to the end of the movie but this is very different.
