Alphabet Squadron by Alexander Freed
For reference, I actually listened to the audiobook for this one, so there will be some notes about the soundscape and orchestration later on and I don't want you to think I was singing stuff while reading (though it's fine if you want to do that too.)

Rant Review: "He's All That"
As a young adult I did grow up watching She's All That basically on repeat when I was feeling upset. Hey, it was my comfort movie okay? People have been and like to be really rough on Addison Rae, and I really do not know why. In this little rant review we're going to sit down and talk about this face to face.

Army Of Thieves
Spoiler Alert: If you haven't watched this movie, beware there are spoilers ahead I thoroughly enjoyed watching Army of Thieves. It is funny, animated and the cast energetic and captivating especially Gwendoline and Sebastian. Army of Thieves is essentially another heist movie about lovable and amiable thieves seeking adventure (and your money and valuables) without actually harming anyone. Though not cut in the mold of serious heist movies like Money Heist, Army of Thieves does give some Lupin and Oceans vibes where the lovable protagonists run rings around the police and intelligence agencies while executing their heist.

Comfort Film: Someone Great
I am under no delusion that Someone Great is a masterpiece, if I claimed that it would be a straight-up lie. What I can argue with absolute confidence is that this film is an underrated Netflix original gem that despite what some people assume is not a love story, and that's why it's my main comfort film. Overall I have three films that I consider comfort films which basically means I watch them specifically to bring me joy. A classic and certainly one of the greatest films of all time is Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park passes the Bechdel test, it features Jeff Goldbloom as the damsel in distress whilst badass Laura Dern is saving the day and it has dinosaurs, tell me that isn't a good time. My second comfort film is Kong: Skull Island and honestly I don't have a super in depth explaination for this one I just find it unexpectedly funny and Brie Larson is hot. But Someone Great is my favourite comfort film mostly because I never tire of it and every time I watch it I feel so happy.

Review: The French Dispatch . Top Story - November 2021.
The slow burn death of print journalism. The beauty of writing. Loneliness. Love. Poetry. Revolution. The “French Dispatch” is a 2 hour long love letter to journalism. As a writer, the movie inspired me to write about everything I see, feel, think, experience. More than ever now I want to interview strangers, eat every food imaginable, attend and explore countless museums, and write about it all.

Review: "The Night House"
The Night House, at its core, is an old-fashioned horror film that can be compared to the horrors from the 70's era. It differs greatly from the recent genre fare, trading in cheap thrills or jump scares for a more personal touch. It is a much more intimate and impressive film that is not only thought-provoking but also horribly unsettling from start to finish. The Night House also features a powerhouse performance by the always solid Rebecca Hall that really rounds the film out wonderfully. Beyond what appears on screen, the work put in by director David Bruckner who also worked on another terrific horror film in The Ritual is spectacular, the way the action is framed is nothing short of stunning.

My Review of "Back to the Future II"
Back to the Future II, was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It came out in 1989 and I remember how it blew my mind. The idea of different timelines and time travel was absolutely foreign to me. I would watch that movie in awe every time it would play on TV. Unfortunately in 2021 I don't quite have as much of a wide eyed wonder about the movie.
