Nineteen Eighty-Two
I don’t remember seeing Star Wars: A New Hope at the movies, though for years it was my go-to answer anytime the question of ‘what movie did you see in theaters first?’ would arise in conversation - and it’s not dishonest. That was my first attendance to the wonderful world of cinema, and I did see it in the strictest definition of the word, but I did not 'see' it, savvy? True, those frames danced across the screen and were reflected in what I can only assume were my ever-widening little peepers, but it was late May of 1977 and the guy typing this into a laptop keyboard was barely 3. I think my recollection of that event, an event whose details I would have sworn to even last week, has been wholly adopted from my mother’s own accounting.

My Review of "West Side Story (2021)"
West Side Story (2021) is a remake of the 1957 Broadway musical and 1961 movie of the same name. I personally haven't seen the musical or the older movie so I was going in green. I've been enamored by recent musicals lately like; In The Heights, and Tick, Tick... Boom!. These movies have really opened my eyes at what musicals can be so I thought this movie would be a shoe in to be great.

Did Amazons Jack Reacher Impress More Than The Tom Cruise Version
Alan Ritchson proves to be the Jack Reacher that fans of the books always wanted to see. Nothing against Tom Cruise, but this is the Jack Reacher that we can believe in as the lead of the new Reacher series.

My Review of "All of Us Are Dead: Season One"
All of Us Are Dead: Season One is yet another Korean zombie show out on Netflix. It just recently came out and I'm actually shocked this is the first time I've ever seen a zombie series based around high school kids. You'd think this concept would have been done by now but I can't really recall one ever being done in a high school. Although there are some refreshing twists there are a lot of the same tropes you see in other zombie shows.

The literature of “Parasite”
In the modern times, it is practically a challenge to find a film that explicit different themes rather than normal everyday themes. “Parasite”, is a movie that contains various designated points which in chance created History in Hollywood’s. The use of its remarkable symbols, unforgettable characters and significant plot makes itself embedded to the minds of viewers.

My Review of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)"
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition) is a movie I've always wanted to check out. I really liked the original theatrical release of this movie. Despite the fact I was entertained by this film there was always a sense that something was missing. After watching this extended cut of the film I realized I was right.

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window
I love Kristen Bell. I love her for acting in "Veronica Mars," "The Good Place," and "Bad Moms," for singing in the "Frozen" movies, and for promoting women's and girls' issues on "Armchair Expert" podcast. I would watch anything with her, so when Netflix automatically cued "The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window" after the series finale of "After Life" that made me cry, I thought it would be a good distraction from the emotional wreck that Ricky Gervais made me into with the ending of his show.

Review of 'Wingbearer'
A young girl must stop a threat to her magical world in this epic graphic novel from New York Times bestselling author Marjorie Liu and remarkable debut illustrator Teny Issakhanian. Zuli is extraordinary—she just doesn’t realize it yet. Raised by mystical bird spirits in the branches of the Great Tree, she’s never ventured beyond this safe haven. She’s never had to. Until now. When a sinister force threatens the life-giving magic of the tree, Zuli, along with her guardian owl, Frowly, must get to the root of it. So begins an adventure bigger than anything Zuli could’ve ever imagined—one that will bring her, along with some newfound friends, face-to-face with an ancient dragon, the so-called Witch-Queen, and most surprisingly of all: her true identity. This captivating middle-grade graphic novel, the first of a series, is perfect for fans of the Amulet books and the Wings of Fire series.
