Review – “Dashing Through the Snow” Doesn’t Capture the Christmas Magic That the Story Is About
Watching a Christmas film in the middle of November is a bizarre experience. But then again, in 2023, it seems like Christmas celebrations started the moment Halloween was over. I know we joke about it every year, but I really feel it this time. So, it should have come as no surprise to me that Disney+ would release a holiday film when we’re still far away from the Christmas break.

Reviewing Disney+'s "Goosebumps" Revival, and My Hopes for Season 2
God, I love Goosebumps! Let me tell you a bit of a personal story. When I was in third grade, I saw nearly all of the kids with these books that said, "Goosebumps" on the front. I had no idea what they were; I did know that they were supposed to be horror stories directed at children. I also knew one other thing: I wanted those books! I finally bought a Goosebumps book about a year or two later, though I didn't collect them in order, mainly because there were a lot of them out at that time.

Hidden Symbolism: Part 1
An Introduction to Perfection The Batman is a perfect film. The cinematography, the symbolism, the inspired passion behind it, the sound design, the score, the writing, the structure. Every aspect in it makes it a cohesive, beautiful piece that has made it into perfection, and in this article I want to investigate how it achieved that. Specifically in this article, I will be covering the symbolism in the film, and how it relates to the plot and characters overall.

Singin' in the Rain (1952) is a Timeless Masterpiece
You have to make the crowd laugh to please them. Singin’ in the Rain debuted in theaters in 1952. Taking place in the 1920s, Don Lockwood is a famous silent film actor. When new technology promotes sound films, the studio is in a bind. They have to make changes if they’re going to stay in business.

My Review of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a spy action movie that came out in 2015. I'm surprised it was outside of my radar for so long. Recently, I've started getting into spy movies and this one pretty much has everything on paper. There's a great cast, great director and they still used a lot of practical effects to make the movie.

Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken
The minute I saw the trailer for this movie I knew that I wanted to see it. It seemed cute and I firmly believe that coming of age stories for young women are few and far between and I was eager to see another one. I know that this film didn’t get much attention at the box office but I don’t think that had anything to do with actual film quality at all.

Priscilla Review
Since the movie Elvis came out last year there has been a resurgence in the man’s popularity. Austin Butler has received far more attention than he deserves and for some reason we forgot that Elvis was actually a terrible person. Well Sofia Coppola has done her duty to not only film but women everywhere. Priscilla tells the story of the child bride of Elvis Presley and the reality of what it was like to be involved with that man.
