The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe - Review
Words can’t describe how amazing it was to be back inside a theatre after such a long time, but the team behind The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe made the experience even more memorable.

Review: "ROLL OVER AND DIE" Vols. 1-2 by Kiki (Spoiler free)
I have a question for you. Do you like horror stories? If not, do you like love stories, specifically of the gay/lesbian variety? If also no, then, do you like fantasy stories? If no to that as well then why are you reading this, I literally put those 3 things in the subtitle. However, if you answered yes to ANY of the above questions then this book series is right for you. If you answered yes to ALL of the above questions, you have my permission to stop reading this review immediately and go buy this book.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
In 1957, author Theodore Geisel, known more commonly as “Dr. Seuss,” published a charming little story about a grouchy curmudgeon who hated the season of giving and decides to steal it away from everyone, only to learn that “Christmas doesn’t come from a store.” The book was an obvious criticism of the avarice and greed in the holiday season. The book was animated into a half-hour special, released in 1966 which, believe it or not, some people are not presently aware of its existence. The Grinch is a grumpy persona who lives away from the noise and people in the mountains. I don’t know exactly WHEN I started relating to the Grinch, but I digress. Both the book and short are such a staple of the holiday that, when Hollywood “re-imaginings” were starting to gain popularity, director Ron Howard took a swing at the classic tale, taking over from director Tim Burton, and casting Jim Carrey as the Grinch. There are some who hate this movie and some who love this movie. In the case of the former, the most common element that pops up is the statement: “I don’t like Jim Carrey.” Even if you don’t like him or his zany antics, is he really the biggest problem with this film? Now, I’m going to be fair: I do love this movie. I first saw it in theatres when I was a little kid and, good or bad, it is a staple of my holidays, just as much as the animated short is. That does not mean that this movie is perfect.

My Review of "Attack of the Hollywood Clichés"
Attack of the Hollywood Clichés is some sort of educational compilation of facts about Hollywood movie making. I know that there's a lot of clichés in Hollywood so I wanted to see if they had anything that would surprise me. There were a few but I think a lot of us knew about most of these.

My Review of "The Matrix: Reloaded"
The Matrix: Reloaded came out back in 2003. It was 4 years after the original movie had come out. The filmmakers had a tall order to fulfill because the expectations for this sequel was sky high. There were so many aspects of that original movie that we wanted this new sequel to match.

Poisoned - Review
In 2019, Jennifer Donnelly, author of the acclaimed 2003 YA novel A Northern Light (known as A Gathering Light in some territories), found renewed success with Stepsister. The story of “wicked” stepsister Isabelle and her journey from hated bully to heroic warrior, it represented a gritty but rousing spin on the fairytale genre. Donnelly has followed this up with Poisoned, which applies a similar revisionist approach to the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Since it was published late last year, Endeavour Productions have purchased the rights to make a movie adaptation.* But does Posioned confirm Jennifer Donnelly’s newfound status as a major star in the competitive subgenre of YA fairytales?

The K-Pop Dictionary
Like it or not, South Korean entertainment has taken the world by storm. BTS is one of the most popular music groups in the world right now, and it’s something I could easily compare to Beatlemania back in the 1960s. Squid Game became one of the most watched shows on Netflix. Everybody is talking about romantic K-dramas that have similar plots to each other, and yet they all offer aesthetics and gripping soap-opera like storylines that keep people addicted. The reason why South Korean entertainment has gripped so many is because of the gruelling work that goes behind it. If you thought the training in Hollywood was intense, this is something else.

My Review of "The Good Liar"
The Good Liar is a dramatic movie that came out back in 2019. I would have loved for it to be a mystery movie but they don't give you enough clues to categorize it as a mystery. Instead what we have is a movie that opens up with tons of different layers as it slowly unravels before your eyes.

Money Heist Season 5 Vol 2 without Tokyo. Series review
*Spoiler Alert* It's been three months since we were left with one of the most stunning minutes in Money Heist as Tokyo's (Ursula Corbero) character met with a difficult demise. It was a second that hit more enthusiastically to us than The Professor (Alvaro Morte) and his team and here we are once more, as the last season gets in the repercussions of her demise. A few questions were left unanswered and they will gradually be unraveled through the last five scenes of the series. The Spanish series which turned into an enormous worldwide peculiarity ends up under tremendous strain as all eyes are on the finale and these five scenes will decide the destiny of the show and how it will be recollected. It certainly doesn't have any desire to fall into the organization of other advertised shows, for example, Game of Thrones which conveyed frustrating finales and left their fanbase strong surprise.
