The Midnight Club - A Netflix Series Review
The sound of stories are the sounds of lives. The Midnight Club aired on Netflix in 2022. Based on the 1994 novel written by Christopher Pike, the events center around a group of terminally ill teenagers living in a hospice house. Sneaking out of their rooms, they tell each other scary stories in the library at midnight.

My Review of: "House of the Dragon: Season 1"
House of the Dragon: Season 1 has just finished up in 2022. It was for me one of the hotly anticipated TV shows for 2022. I know a lot of people had their reservations considering the final season of the original Game of Thrones series. Fortunately for me I'm an ignorant person and will just hype myself for anything that looks pretty cool.

The Frighteners - A Movie Review
Do you think I should call the ghost exterminator? The Frighteners appeared in theaters in 1996. A man has the ability to communicate with ghosts. Learning of a demonic entity killing the living, Frank must put an end to it before it gets out of hand.

The Lean-in Feminism of 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law'
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was meant to be a meta-textual, feminist deconstruction of the MCU, and in some ways, it succeeds with this goal. Whether it's referencing Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist or jokes about women in the workplace, there are plenty of progressive nuggets for viewers to mine.

Parental Relationships in House of the Dragon
One of the most intriguing aspects of both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are the familial relationships. So I thought I would analyze and give commentary on each of those relationships. Now it is important to note that this is strictly based off of the HBO adaptation and has absolutely nothing to do with the book whatsoever.

Alicent and Rhaenyra's Friendship
House of the Dragon has kept audiences captivated for weeks, and though it deviates from the books fans seem to be enjoying the story. However one of the major changes made from the books was deliberate and opened up the story to more flaws than necessary. In the show they made the choice to age Alicent down so that she was the same age as Rhaenyra. They also attempted to establish that these two girls were best friends, as Alicent’s dad was hand to the king the transition seemed natural. But then the writers seemed to forget that they had established these two young women as having a close relationship. In fact they didn’t seem to put any thought into how female friendships work at all.

My Review of "DC League of Super-Pets"
DC League of Super-Pets is a weird cartoon to have come out in 2022. We have already received a great animated feature very similar to this movie called The Bad Guys not too long ago. Maybe it's that movie that was freshly in my mind that made me not appreciate this movie as much as I should have.

My Review of "Black Adam"
Black Adam is DC's latest movie into the DCEU in 2022. We haven't really seen much from DC for quite a while with the exception of the spectacular The Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder's Justice League. Both movies came out early last year. I had high hopes for DC again, even though Zack Snyder's Justice League is not really part of the main storyline anymore.

My Review of "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets"
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets came out back in 2017. It was touted as the next Fifth Element. There are a ton of Fifth Element fans out there and I was one of them. What some of us don't remember was how cheesy some of the Fifth Element was back in the day. This movie has a bit of that cheese in there but now I'm grown up so the nostalgia factor doesn't come into play.
