My Review of "Waterworld"
Waterworld is one of the most controversial movies of 1995. At the time it was one of the biggest blockbuster movies that bombed in the movie theatres. Before memes were a thing this movie was made fun of in various ways. I remember seeing this movie back in the day not thinking it was absolutely terrible. Now, almost 30 years later I thought I'd give it another shot. Was this movie unfairly panned?

What Happened When We Visited the Java Whiskers Cat Cafe and Book Club?
Imagine a café. Now imagine it’s full of adorable cats or kittens to play with. You’re feeding and snuggling with said cats. Now imagine there’s a bunch of likeminded individuals who are excited to discuss the book you’ve all just read over steaming beverages. I can’t think of a cosier image. Well, you don’t have to imagine it, it’s real! If I could narrow down all of life’s simplest pleasures to the two greatest, it would have to be cats and books. Nothing combines them better than the Java Whiskers Cat Café which also now hosts a book club monthly.

My Review of "Hot Rod"
Hot Rod is a crazy, looney comedy that came out in 2007. It's not a highly regarded movie but it's one of my top comedies that I go back to. This is not a movie that many will like and it shows because it's not a popular movie. You have to be able to see outside of logic and reason. It also helps if you understand 1980s stereotypes and interested in zany random things happening as well.

My Review of "Nimona"
Nimona is an animated feature streaming exclusively on Netflix. I'm not a huge fan of Netflix animated features. Once in a while they do a pretty good job but for the most part I don't get through these moves. I forced myself to go through this one. It's a quirky little tale that has its twists and turns closer to the end but has a bit of a rough start.

My Review of "Tropic Thunder"
Tropic Thunder is one of the last great Ben Stiller comedies that I continue to rewatch. It came out back in 2008 and I guess this is the last time they were able to use such offensive material for a comedic movie. Due to the social climate we have today this movie is considered very controversial because of the very risqué topics touched upon.
