My Review of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword"
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword came out back in 2017. I remember seeing it back in the day and liking it. The problem was that I don't think people liked it that much so it doesn't get talked about that often. It's actually a pretty big shocker when I revisited this movie recently. After seeing it again I'm kind of curious why it hasn't caught on by now.

Remember, Remember . . . V for Vendetta
I aim to write this more about the movie than the comics as I feel the movie has a wider audience, but this by no means discounts the incredible writing of the comics (obviously). I will be leaning into the comics here and there as well, of course, as it is the foundation to this entire diatribe I am about to explore.

My Review of "Ghostbusters 2"
Ghostbusters 2 is the sequel to the ever popular Ghostbusters (1984). it took them 5 years to come out with a sequel but somehow they got the whole cast from the original back in on this fun project. With those 5 years come advancements in special effects and I guess some acting lessons. There are a lot of improvements and there are a few missteps along the way as well.

A movie review on Prey by filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg
Predator or prey…which one is worse? Dan Trachtenberg’s film Prey debuted this month on Hulu. Remade off of the original Predator film in 1987, Prey is about a young Comanche girl who loves to hunt and eventually kills the biggest predator of them all. I want to discuss a few key takeways that I enjoyed from the film and help you relate to it! The first idea that I enjoyed from the film was the first scene. Prey opens with Nadu (Amber MidThunder) hunting a deer. She was fast, determined and cunning enough to hunt all wildlife with a bow and arrow, along with her ax. And get this… she would throw it. I like how this scene, along with some of the others that I will discuss today, show the genius of the Native AMerican culture, specifically the Comanches. (Side note: in Middle school I was highly fascinated with Native culture and would study/research about their culture during my free time).

Lessons From Turkish Drama
May I Never Be At The Mercy Of My Enemy In My Time Of Dire Need Or Trouble - Quote by Author This quote rings true in the Turkish drama series Kiralik Ask (Love For Rent). Sometimes, in our bid to solve pressing problems or get out of troubling circumstances, we fall into the hands of opportunists who capitalize on our dire situations. This was what befell Defne Topal, the female protagonist in this series. In an attempt to rescue her brother from harm, she accepts a dubious offer that ends up complicating her life.

My Review of "Red Dawn (2012)"
Red Dawn (2012) is a remake of the old 1984 classic of the same name. I haven't seen the original movie but I am enticed to see the original after watching this. Let's get it out of the way that this is a popcorn action flick that you shouldn't take too seriously. The whole story is a little absurd but there is some fun to be had with it.

The Gray Man and Brad Pitt Train Fight
I’m pretty sure I saw the trailer to Brad Pitt Train Fight aka Bullet Train every single time that I’ve been to the movies this year. And when I finally saw it last week I got there early and the pre-show had no less than 3 previews for Bullet Train, the movie I was about to watch, including the full trailer once again. So I don’t think I was into the movie as much as I wanted to be because I felt like the trailer, like most trailers, showed a bit too much. Which is why I usually don’t watch trailers, but this one was just unavoidable. I had fun, but I think I actually enjoyed the movie more on my second watch, that could also be because I had seen Netflix's The Gray Man in between.
