Review of Netflix Series: iZombie
I've not always been a fan of horror. Too much of it centers around gore and spraying blood and splattering brains. Or, it is too realistic. I really don't need my sleep or sanity disturbed by terrors of horrific individuals that get their kicks in mutilation and murder. It just isn't my thing. But now and again, something pops up in the horror genre than intrigues me. Such was the case with iZombie.

Star Wars: Tempest Runner by Cavan Scott
A Starcanon Review - Mild Spoilers Ahead! The Setup Tempest Runner is a great example of what can be done with the growing medium of audio books, though I suppose technically this is really an audio drama since it was written specifically to be performed in this way. At this point in time I've only listened to a few Star Wars audio books, but compared to many others they are hitting all the right notes.

‘Dear Evan Hansen’ Review — An Emotionally Resonant Musical
What if I told you there was a new movie coming out from Stephen Chbosky, the director of Wonder and The Perks of Being a Wallflower? I’d have your attention. What if I told you this movie features music from Pasek and Paul, the songwriters of La La Land and The Greatest Showman? You’re throwing money at your laptop now, aren’t you?

My Review of "Val"
Val is a biographical documentary of the life and times of Val Kilmer. It was released recently in 2021 however the footage taken from it spans all the way to his early childhood. Many of us remember him in such popular movies as Batman, The Saint and Tombstone. He's been in so many great movies but we never really saw the man behind the actor. This film will make you understand what kind of person he is and what kind of artist he's become.

Meander 2021 Movie Review & Film Summary
The Maze Runner is presented by the currently little-known French director Mathieu Turi. It feels like the filmmaker was just as tight on the budget as Lisa was in space. In addition, the director explains little, placing his hopes on the viewer, who must think of everything himself. Okay, the viewer is not in the first, but I would like to get some explanations and hints. It would be much more interesting to empathize with the heroine and go along with her the path suggested by the director.

Vivarium 2019 Ending, Explained: What's the Story Behind?
The name "Vivarium" is strange and incomprehensible, but let's turn to search engines and find an explanation for it. A vivarium is a separate place near a medical and biological facility, for example, at a research institute. The purpose of the vivarium is to keep laboratory animals that are needed for experiments. In other words, a vivarium is a nursery where, in addition to conducting experiments on animals, they are also bred. This is such a capacious title, and a person who was not too lazy to look behind the answer may superficially guess about the content of the film.

My Review of "Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed"
Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed is one of the latest Netflix documentaries to come out in 2021. I have to admit I don't know much about Bob Ross other than that PBS tv series he had for so many years. I remember how mellow and cool he was during the tapings of the show. When I saw the words "Betrayal" and "Greed" I was instantaneously intrigued.

The thing that bored me about Shadow and Bone
The thing that bored me about Shadow and Bone The Opinion Peace Let me start this piece off with a peace offering to anyone who is a fan of the books and by reading this title are automatically offended. It is not my intention to offend any fans, in fact, I am a fan myself, of things. So, the opinion that I have is solely on the Netflix adaptation of the books. I haven’t read the books and therefore am not at all well versed on the differences between the two. Having been a huge fan of the Twilight books way before they ever hit the big screen, I am well aware of the damage a live action adaptation is capable of doing to a great book series. Now that I have said that let me also say I have no idea if the things I highlight in this opinion piece are in the book or if they are in the book as they are portrayed in the series.

Bleach: No Breaths From Hell
Bleach created by Tite Kubo has long been considered one of the finest manga series of all time. If you're looking for a fantastic action manga, a deep delve into the paranormal, or just a cast of lively characters, Bleach is then the manga for you. The series was part of "The Big Three,” but once it ended there was nothing else, until now. This one-shot appears to signal newfound hope for the series's future. Judging from the title of this new manga, and with much speculation found throughout the internet. It is almost certain this is the start of a new arc for the manga series.
