Maid on Netflix - Covering Emotional Abuse and Alcoholic Issues
Maid is a tv show on Netflix. It stars Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) as Alex, the twenty-five-year-old daughter of Paula, mother played by Andie MacDowell (Ground Hog Day), and the father played by Billy Burke (Twilight). Maid has glowing reviews and is highly relatable to many women like Alex. If you haven't seen this tv show yet then you should definitely watch it. It is binge-worthy too.

Don't Look Up Review
Films tend to have commentary about social concerns and ongoing things that have an impact on our everyday lives. Often these films deliver humor to land the punches. Adam McKay is one of those filmmakers and Don't Look Up is another shining example of what he does best.

My Review of "Ron's Gone Wrong"
Ron's Gone Wrong is a curious title that came out recently in 2021. It didn't take them that long for Disney to make it available on their streaming platform. There was barely any promotion for this movie and it wasn't in the theaters for that long either. I guess the pandemic is still hitting us hard and they thought it was best to make it available on Disney Plus.

The Matrix: Resurrections Review
It’s interesting watching people respond to the new Matrix movie. The rather critical commentary on social media makes it pretty clear that more than a few fans went in to the cinema expecting more of the same 90’s visuals and over-the-top sci-fi thrills we saw in 1999, and ultimately came out disappointed. But let’s be honest - with such expectation after twenty years, that dissatisfaction was… INEVITABLE.

My Review of "Pacific Rim"
Pacific Rim is a giant monster movie that came out back in 2013. Time really flies when you don't realize it. I remember seeing this movie back when it first came out and being floored by how much fun it was. I think this movie is the catalyst that pushed the resurgence of the giant monster movies.

My Review of "Don't Look Up"
Don't Look up is Netflix's newest 2021 blockbuster movie. It's hotly anticipated because of the amount of celebrities in this movie. However you'll notice all of the celebrities that have climbed on this project are all social activists. I had a sense of what I was getting myself into when I pressed play for this one.

Review of 'The Eye of the World'
The first in an epic fantasy, The Eye of the World, opens a new world for readers everywhere. Compelling Start I am shocked that I have never picked up the Wheel of Time series before now. Considering I lived in the fantasy section of the bookstore, plucking a book off the shelf and then sitting in the aisle to read, I am shocked that it never once occurred to me to pick up this series.

Wheel of Time Review
Now that season one has completed, I feel like it’s time to share my thoughts on Wheel of Time. Before I begin, I would like to point out that I have not read the books. Although, I don’t tend to worry about the differences even if I do read the book because I know there’s a lot that doesn’t translate well to film, or things in the book that don’t feel complete or fleshed out. Authors are human after all, and they do make mistakes. I also accept that film makers are artists themselves and want to make their adaptions their own. So, for these reasons, I don’t worry about changes.
