My Review of "Conan the Barbarian"
Conan the Barbarian is an old Schwarzenegger movie from 1982. It's a movie I didn't get to watch until my late teens. Even then the special effects in the movie seemed kind of dated but yet I loved this movie. There's just something about this movie that drew me to it. Today I once again get to explore this old classic.

My Review of "Conan the Destroyer"
Conan the Destroyer came out in 1984 a mere 2 years after the original movie. It makes sense because the first one was a classic. I loved that original movie yet I never saw the sequel for some reason. All that has to come to and end when I finally found the movie on Blu-Ray. This has been many years in the making and I finally get to know what everyone's talking about.

My Review of "Megan Thee Stallion: Traumazine"
Megan Thee Stallion: Traumazine has just come out in 2022. It is my time listening through a full album from Megan Thee Stallion and I'm floored. This album might be really raunchy but it is entertaining as heck. The subject matter doesn't really delineate a lot and it isn't incredibly deep but it is a lot of fun.

Pilot for Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
The pilot episode so much happens as an OG PLL fan I felt like the writers though I am on the edge of my seat are trying to hard to surpass the original.

The Wonderful World of Studio Ghibli . Top Story - August 2022.
As many people did, I started my studio ghibli addiction with the famous spirited away. After watching that masterpiece I was HOOKED! I had to hunt down every movie they created and watch it. The creator of most of the films Hayao Miyazaki brought a breathtaking world to our TVs. Every story is unique, and when you rewatch them another meaning comes to light. Character development is in each movie, with strong female leads. Heart-stopping art will have you want to be teleported into the wonderful world of Studio Ghibli.

My Review of "Batman (1989)
Batman (1989) was the first movie I ever saw on VHS. My mom went out to get a VCR for some reason and somehow haggled the salesperson to include Batman in the deal. I remember seeing it for the first time and I was in awe. I've never seen anything like this movie let alone knew who Batman was.

Bullet Train Review
I have always been a Brad Pitt admirer. I’ll go watch everything he is in just because he’s in it. That’s why I stay away from reviews until I can go see the film and review it myself. I had literally been counting the days until “Bullet Train” came out. I was very excited to see it. Unfortunately, other than Brad’s humor and the movie soundtrack, the film lacked a strong story line. Writers Zak Olkewicz and Kotaro Isaka made a good attempt at the story but it was a bit cheesy. There was a lot of action, quite bloody so if you have a weak stomach you may not like this film. I found myself closing my eyes a few times because there was just so much blood. This film had a “Murder On The Orient Express” feel with a dash of a cartoonish background. Kudos to the special effects team, the effects were really good.

My Review of "The Magnificent Seven (2016)
The Magnificent Seven (2016) was the modern update I didn't think I wanted. Technically it's still not what I want but I can see what they did right with this one. There is an older version of this movie that came out in 1960 and I think I saw that one when I was younger. Ultimately it's a retread of the Seven Samurai (1954). That was a classic that I've grown to become too impatient for.

Scarred Book Review
Scarred is the second book to the Never After series by Emily McIntire, but it does not have to be read in order. Each book is inspired by a fairytale, this one being inspired by The Lion King.

My Review of "Prey"
Prey is a new Predator movie that is only available through streaming. Currently it is available for Disney Plus. There wasn't much promotion of this movie but I think there should have been. The epic nature of the film really calls for a theatrical release but unfortunately it didn't get one. I for one would still go to the theatre to watch this despite having already seen it on streaming.

My Review of "The Orville: Season 3"
The Orville: Season 3 has finally dropped on Disney Plus for streaming. I was really worried that this series had been cancelled. There wasn't much word of this TV show shortly after the pandemic and I thought it was cancelled. Low and behold this beautiful season was finally released and it was so much fun.
