Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Series Review
In 2020, one of the most highly anticipated video games of all time landed with a dull thud, let down by its poor technical state and hollow RPG mechanics. Be that as it may, CD Projekt Red, in collaboration with Studio Trigger, have pressed on to expand the game’s world and reach with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Many will be very surprised to learn that this ten-episode series is far better than the title that inspired it.

Review: "Don't Worry Darling"
Don’t Worry Darling has been on the wrong side of the internet for a long time leading up to its release in theaters for all the drama it has brought to Hollywood and its stars. Movies are supposed to bring drama, but the behind-the-scenes issues behind this film are almost laughable. Between the relationship between star and director Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles is a sore point, as well as the tension between Wilde and Florence Pugh. To go into all the rumors and drama behind the scenes would be more than enough to go into an entirely different article, but still worth mentioning as it will indeed affect how some view the film. At its core, Don’t Worry Darling is a psychological thriller that features some terrific work from its main star in Pugh as well as some incredible cinematography.

Why Junji Ito’s Earthbound is a deep dive into guilt
This story was a different twist on guilt. It’s ironic that Junji Ito is known for grotesque horror and this is one of those rare stories that he does without intense amounts of horror and focuses on the impact.

My Review of "The Northman"
The Northman is a much discussed revenge movie that had come out in 2022. It seems as though this is a very polarized movie. You either love it or you hate it. Fortunately I'm in the love it category and I'll get to why. I can also see the other side of the coin though.

You're Not You - A Movie Review
Find someone who sees you. Never give up on the greatest battle. You’re Not You is a 2014 film. A classical pianist is diagnosed with ALS. Stubborn about others helping her, a brash college student becomes her caregiver. The bond that they create is unbreakable.

The Shield : One of TVs overlooked gems
Ask someone about their favorite TV anti-hero and their answer will be someone like Walter White, Don Draper or Tony Soprano which are all great choices honestly. Shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men and The Sopranos redefined the role of the protagonist and ushered in a golden age of TV which is still going strong today.

Walking Inside the World of Vincent van Gogh
"I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream. ” - Vincent Van Gogh When I was a little girl, I used to look at van Gogh’s paintings for hours. My father had an enormous hardcover book that featured an impressive collection of his art throughout his career. I found it fascinating – the vivid colors, the brush strokes, the people – all of it was like nothing I had seen before. There are a few paintings I’ve never forgotten over the years–Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette, Sunflowers, Starry Night Over the Rhône, The Night Café, and his self-portraits.

House of the Dragon
Two episodes ago I ranted because the men in the writers room once again proved that men can not write women without assaulting them, breaking them down and claiming “historical accuracy”. Last episode the women took the power back both in fiction and behind the screen. The women-written episode was a testament to what empowerment actually looks like for women. I went into tonight's episode knowing that there were both men and women in the writers room and behind the camera. Let's see how (and if) that changes the outcome of the show.

Don't Worry Darling
Lots of rumors, controversy and drama surrounded this film's production and its release. I’m willing to bet that the audiences that saw this film on opening weekend were a 50/50 split between Harry stans and people who were morbidly curious after reading all of the headlines surrounding this film. I was on the morbidly curious side, I went into this film hearing about its production but nothing about the actual film. I really didn’t know what it was about, only that it was a psychological thriller that was getting mixed reviews. So I went to the theater with low expectations, ready to see the dumpster fire.

Pearl
So I went to see Pearl this last weekend with no context other than seeing a poster. I had absolutely no idea what this movie was about, not even the genre. Lately I have discovered that going into films with no expectations yields better results and more enjoyment in my movie going experience, and that was the exact result with Pearl. Pearl is a funny, brilliant, fascinating film that would also make the perfect addition to anyone’s Halloween movie list.

My Review of "Star Trek: Nemesis"
Star Trek: Nemesis came out back in 2002. Not being a huge next generation fan I bypassed it and the other next generation movies that came out. Thankfully I've finally come around to check them out. In the last movie Star Trek: Insurrection, I've come to know and like the new characters. It was the first movie that I started to feel them gel. Now that I've gotten a handle of the characters I feel like I'm ready to tackle this last movie.
