School of Rock Review
Check out my original review on my Letterboxd profile here to check out a Spotify playlist I made for this film. Before we get started... it's been a while, huh? Almost a month, in fact. Well, yeah, I've been busy with college and haven't had the time to watch a movie for a while. That being said, I've been trying to watch a certain TV show that is available to review on Letterboxd and have gotten about halfway through it, but I need to motivate myself to continue it because of everything else going on in school. Heck, it's been a while since I've been able to motivate myself to watch a movie, let alone a TV show. I'll review that show sometime before the end of the year if I get my way, but for now, let's talk about this film.

Brutal Kunnin by Mike Brooks
This is perhaps one of the best Warhammer books I have ever read, and Mike Brooks has demonstrated what is perhaps so uniquely enjoyable about this fictitious universe. This is, of course, the innate chaos (not to be confused with Chaos) of the 40k universe and how even those with great personal power can be brought low on the whim and scheming of various individuals. And oh boy, is there a lot of the latter in Brutal Kunnin.

My Review of "Venom: Let There Be Carnage"
Venom: Let There Be Carnage has recently come out. It's the sequel to the original 2018 Venom movie. While the first movie was okay I had some high hopes for the second movie. The venom we remember from the old comic books was a violent and edgier character. His violence was exacerbated with the addition of Carnage. That's what I was expecting anyways. In a way I kind of got what I wanted but it was exactly what I was expecting.

Did del Toro make another winner?
What do you do when you’re in college in 2015 and don’t want to stay at home while your roommates get trashed? You go to the movies of course! It was around Halloween and the people I lived with at the time were planning on getting really drunk. I was definitely underage and didn’t have a desire for alcohol yet and so me and my then-boyfriend dressed up and saw Crimson Peak at the local movie theater. With this having happened 6 years ago, it’s been a while since I’ve watched it so I decided to give it another go.

My Review of "Stittsville on Patrol: Season 1"
Stittsville on Patrol: Season 1 is a surprise series on the Bell Fibe cable network. It's not readily available on streaming when it feels like it should be. As much as I love this show I don't think it'll get too far because it's so regional I doubt anyone is going to understand some of the jokes.

My Review of "Squid Game"
Squid Game is possibly Netflix's 2021 hit of the year. The last time I heard this much hype about a Netflix original series was probably Bridgerton. I tried watching that series and I didn't really like it. Although the series before that show with the most hype was The Queen's Gambit and I loved that show. All this to say, I was hoping it would be as good as The Queen's Gambit.

True Blood: A Wasted Potential
First of all, I just wanted to get something straight. I love the genres such fantasy, supernatural and horror and anything that has vampires, witches, werewolves, and wizards. I will watch any tv show, movie, and read any book that has those kinds of genres. You can call me a nerd because I enjoy watching these things and that is okay. That’s the reason why I even chose to watch this show.

Through Adult Eyes
Toy Story 3 offers childlike fantasy and exploration while confronting complex and mature themes. Appealing to vastly different audiences in the same plot line, Toy Story 3 goes beyond entertainment and delivers profoundly relatable life experiences. According to Peter Bradshaw, “Toy Story 3 is brutally adult with brutally adult themes: The origin of evil in childhood pain, the death of childhood and, well, just death.”

James Bond: No Time To Die - Review.
James Bond: No time to die - Spoiler Review The long awaited Bond sequel is finally here! Does it live up to Daniel Craig's previous films? Or is No Time to Die, not worth your time? Well dear reader, I am a massive James Bond fan, so I know what makes a good Bond film, and a bad one. I will be spoiling parts of the film, as I like to be as detailed and constructive as possible. With that said, I hope you enjoy my review. I will be going through the events of this film step by step, while pointing out things I liked and disliked about each scene.
