School of Rock - A Movie Review
I wonder what songs we’re going to rehearse in school today. School of Rock arrived in theaters in 2003. Dewey Finn is kicked out of his own band. Desperate to compete in a rock band competition, he feigns as a substitute teacher in a private school. Turning his class into a rock band, this journey is eye-opening for everyone.

The Achievement (And Misstep) Of ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE
Well…that was unexpected. I’ve always been a fan of superhero movies, but didn’t have high expectations for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Firstly, the director’s previous contributions to the genre, Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman, mostly didn’t work for me. And secondly, this is an alternative version of a 2017 theatrically released film that nearly put me to sleep.

My Problem with Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver'
*This is a dark movie with darker implications, Shootings, Suicide, and things of a sexual nature like underage prostitution, rape, and sexual assualt are all discussed in this. Please keep that in mind. There is another disclaimer before the darkest secion feel free to read and just skip that section if you would like.*

My Review of "The Sopranos: Season 3"
The Sopranos: Season 3 was a highly anticipated season for me. So much had happened in the second season that I wasn't sure where they were going to go with the characters. There's been a huge reshuffling and that meant totally new storylines.

‘Cruella’ Review — A Delightfully Stylish Ride
Origin stories are everywhere these days—it was only a matter of time before Disney took this type of story and made a live-action film based on an existing property. It was bound to happen.

Ikiru Movie Review
In Japanese, Ikiru means “to live” and by viewing the widely unmentioned masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa, one might seek compassion rather than anger, another might find love instead of hate, or meaning instead of a vacant existence. In Ikiru, Takashi Shimura portrays Kanji Watanabe vulnerably and powerfully. At the beginning of the film, Watanabe is diagnosed with stomach cancer. His life flashes quite literally before his and the audience’s eyes. From the opening scene of the stark monochrome X-ray chest of Watanabe, the grimace face of death follows his sauntering like a shadow; Watanabe has a frown glued to his chin. Ikiru means “to live,” as that is the quest that the director, Kurosawa, desired to observe.

My Review of "The Masked Singer: Season 5"
The Masked Singer: Season 5 was kind of worrisome for me. I didn't particularly like season 4 that much. It was a little predictable and the contestants were mostly people that I wasn't really able to identify. For sure a lot of people were able to identify with the contestants in that season however I didn't think they had a broader appeal as they were more newer celebrities that haven't had that much shine.

My Review of "Friends: The Reunion"
Friends: The Reunion can't really be called a niche episode because I'm pretty sure most have the world has heard and seen at least an episode of Friends. This eye opening reunion is more than just a walk down memory lane. It's also an interesting look inside how the show was made and a look into the actors that portrayed the iconic characters.

Top 30+ Episodes of Star Trek: Voyager Every Trekkie Must See!
So the impetus for this list comes from my Star Trek History with My Wife. She absolutely loved The Next Generation & Deep Space Nine, yet just couldn't get into Voyager. She says something about the cinematography is just off and off-putting. Having to refurbish and reuse the TNG Sets probably is the culprit there, but I think most Voyager Lovers can admit to themselves in their heart of hearts that Voyager is the weakest of the Three 24th Century Shows. Having caught up with Enterprise as well in recent years I can even understand why some people would try to say Voyager is in 4th Place from those Consecutive Years of Star Trek. It's not, Voyager & Enterprise are tied for 3rd with Voyager taking it on Goal Difference...I mean Season Difference. The Football/Soccer Fan escaped there for a minute. Friendly reminder that Deep Space Nine references Football/Soccer Thrice!! Haha. Anyways the point is even if Voyager may be the "Weakest of its Trilogy" if you will; there's still very, very good must see episodes of Star Trek in here. I encourage all Trekkies to at the very least take on this Shallow Dive I've made for My Wife, and it's my sincere hope that y'all would feel compelled to explore the Series in Full at least once at some point after. If not you could always check out and cackle along with SF Debris's Evil Janeway in his Online Video Star Trek Reviews to at least find out the plot points.

ONE PIECE MANGA CHAPTER 1007 REVIEW: KOZUKI ODEN ALIVE?
One piece manga has released its latest chapter 1007 which has not only surprised everyone rather might have made many readers jump off the bed while reading. Honestly never even for a second thought of such a plot. Once again Oda-san has proved himself un-formidable with his storyline.

Earthquake Girl Review(BBC Audio Drama)
This is my review for the BBC audio drama special 'Earthquake Girl'. Edie is a normal girl, bookworm, introvert, & aspiring writer. She is under pressure from her sister-in-law, Lila, to get out more and find a boyfriend. However, Edie finds fulfillment in writing her novels and working at the local library. She enjoys her position here greatly, but has to tangle with her supervisor on dealing with one library goer who eats there.
