Transformers
I went into this movie as someone who has never seen a Transformers movie. I’ve only seen clips of the Michael Bay abominations and considering how Megan Fox was portrayed and treated on that set I have no desire to finish them. I also went with my husband who very much had some nostalgia surrounding this movie as he grew up with the toys and the cartoons. I had a lot of follow up questions after I saw this movie and apparently there is a whole Transformers extended universe.

Violence in Theater. Content Warning.
I remember watching "A Clockwork Orange" for the first time when I was about 15 years old. Because of the naked female statues at the bar, I thought it was some kind of porno. Makes me laugh now, knowing more about Anthony's great piece of literature and the theater group that depicted it. However, this piece was only the beginning to many viewings of violence in theater. I moved on to slasher/horror movies, but after Jason and Freddie had their duke out and made the 100th sequel, I started finding it hilarious instead of disturbing. Aliens became more interesting especially because Sigourney Weaver is such a great actress and so good at playing a fierce badass.

My Review of "Grumpy Old Men"
Grumpy Old Men is a comedy that came out back in 1993. I remember watching it back then and liking it and wasn't too sure if this movie would be able to stand the test of time. Fortunately it was and made me have a new found appreciation for this movie.

My Review of "Creed III"
Creed III was one of my most anticipated movies of 2023 but it took me this long to finally check it out. I truly wished I had checked this movie out in the theatres when I had the opportunity to because this movie feels like it was warranted.

Review of 'I Will Leave You Never'
In the middle of a perilous drought in the Northwest, an arsonist begins setting fires all around. It gives Zoe Penney nightmares about her home—seated right next to tinder-dry woods—rising up in explosions of fire, as well as haunting dreams of a little boy deep in the forest. Winter brings the longed-for rains but also a cancer diagnosis for Zoe’s husband, Jay, which plunges the family into disbelief and fear. The children lean in close to their parents, can’t stop touching them. As Jay’s treatment begins, nature lets loose with strange and startling encounters, while a shadowy figure hovers about the corners of the house. First, Zoe’s fear turns to anger: How can I love you if I am to lose you? How can I live in joy when the sky is falling? But she gradually learns that it’s possible to love anything, even terrible things—if you can love them for what they are teaching you.

Kdrama World
The basic difference between Korean and most other foreign dramas is it's collection of many different kinds of plot. Korean dramas, commonly referred to as K-dramas, have experienced a meteoric rise in popularity over the past decade. These captivating television series have captivated audiences worldwide, transcending cultural boundaries and amassing a dedicated fan base. With their unique blend of romance, drama, and intricate storytelling, K-dramas have become a global entertainment phenomenon. This article delves into the world of K-dramas, examining their cultural impact, narrative characteristics, and international success. 1. Characters;- Korean dramas do not just revolve on the super-sweet, dumb and always ready to sacrifice girls but speak of lives of humans, they can be students, police, advocate, judge, political leader, doctor, businessman, anyone but a human. These professions might make you think that the characters must be too rich, over the bar people. But no, even they are portrayed as realistic as possible. So much that many live their real life dreams seeing them. 2. Plot:- Korean dramas come up with variety. Be it a thriller, fantasy, historic, comedy or prime-time romances — all have something unique and fresh to show. Whereas, in Indian dramas, I feel that the drama which I saw in my childhood is kind of re-made with some new faces plus they are so lengthy.any foreign shows have 60-70, some cross 1000 episodes too. 3. Acting:- Korean actors have a lot of talent. When I started watching them around 9 years ago, I started making a list of actors whose works I liked a lot and I found that the list is pretty long. There are so many actors whom you wait to watch again in a new script, in a new character. Some dramas like “A business proposal” and “Crazy love” are a cliché and have a very typical plot. Still I liked both a lot… Probably just because of the acting. This never happened with me when I used to watch other foreign dramas. I mean you know the drama's a cliché, still you like it! That can only happen for kdramas. 4. Drama length:- Korean dramas have 16-25 episodes. So not show much of emotional dragging and over-acting. Whereas for foreign dramas, I'd like to specifically mention that Indian producers feel proud if their drama completes 1000 or 2000 episodes. Korean dramas have amazing screenplay and directors keep trying something new. Some fail some succeed, but at least they try to present something new to their audience. Indian dramas always work with the stereotypes. That same scene in which characters say one dialogue thrice….What….What…..What???? Gosh, this is always tiring to watch. So, except watching 2000 episodes of garbage, I'll prefer watching 16 episodes of quality acting, cinematography and a realistic and fascinating script.
