The Lost City is Actually Pretty Okay
Tonight I watched the Lost City starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. I didn't expect alot from this movie and it was just a last minute "we need something to watch while we eat the pizza we just bought," kinda movie. My fiance literally said, "Get it, I'll literally watch anything," and so we did. And I'll be the first to admit there were much worse options to rent, and this one went pretty well with my bread sticks.

What Is The Funny?
Here I am on another Saturday night, staring at a screen and wondering what to do with myself. I spent most of the day at a book sale for a community organization and have just finished two separate earlier reads that I had put aside for far too long. I have also willfully sacrificed some other books for Montreal’s Livre-Service book boxes (a perfect way to contribute to public reading and a method of discovering what else is out there to cudgel the brains). As I cleaned up, I discovered some writings I had left on a shelf and wondered about for quite some time: S.J. Perlman’s New Yorker writings were there, a torn back cover and an intact front cover with the title The Rising Gorge. I had only read two or three pieces in it before abandoning it as a well-intentioned work of comedy that did not make me laugh. And now, as I attempted to read something light – Angela Carter and Mohsin Hamid were the writers I had imbibed earlier – I found the same difficulties facing me. I simply did not find it funny.

The Top 10 Controversial Cast Members Of 'My 600-lb Life'
When you tune into an episode of TLC's My 600-lb Life, you know you're in for a journey. A show centered around weight loss is no doubt going to be full of drama, hard work, and inspirational stories. But some of the stories we've gotten over 10 seasons have been a bit crazier and more dramatic than others.

Arcane overview - finally a great video game adaptation!
For years and years, video game adaptations were a bit of a laughingstock. For one thing, people didn't really take the games seriously, thinking that they were only for children. The image of an adult gamer only stepped out of the territory of mockery very recently. Back in the '90s gaming was considered childish. Just think of everyone's favourite sitcom from the era, Friends: on more than one occasion the characters pretended not to play video games in fear of looking immature. While Friends by no means can be considered as truthful documentation of the era (how did they afford those apartments? why weren’t any people of colour in New York City?), it still reflected it. The way Chandler and Ross, on different occasions, pretended not to like video games, and even the forgiving laugh they got when they actually played, show that being a gamer was considered a quirky way to keep your inner child going, at best.

My Review of "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!"
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! came out back in 1988. I remember having fun with this movie back in the day but I didn't appreciate it. A lot of the jokes were way over my head when I was younger and as an adult now I can appreciate some of the fun they were having. That's not to say that this is that raunchy of a film. There are certain scenes not suitable for children however the material is quite tame compared to today's standards.

Enola Holmes 2 Review
After what seems like a two-year wait, Netflix has finally released Enola Holmes Part 2, directed by Harry Bredbeer. Before watching this sequel, definitely watch its first part in case you have not seen it. The best thing I felt Netflix brought was both of these films in Hindi, and I personally like to enjoy movies or series in Hindi only.

My Review of "Nope"
Nope was a hotly anticipated movie of 2022. It surprises me that it took me this long to see it. I'm not really big into horror movies so that could be a reason why I tip toed around it but I finally got a chance to see it. Boy was I in for a surprise and in all the right ways. What I saw from the trailers misdirected me. I thought this movie was going to go into a totally different direction.
