In recent years, only a few shows have come close to correctly depicting mental health and depression. The newest addition being the 2014-released, alternate reality animated show, BoJack Horseman.

My Review of "Tenet"
Tenet was one of the most anticipated movies of 2020. It came out with a bunch of mixed reviews that discouraged me from watching the movie. I heard it was over bloated and pretentious. By now I should know not to take movie critic reviews so seriously since it's all a matter of perspective. The root thing about a movie is if it can entertain me. I can gladly tell you that I was able to enjoy my time watching this movie.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse
With movie theaters still struggling to open and a lack of new offerings for them to play, we've all turned more and more to streaming services for our entertainment. One of the more recent offerings comes to us from the folks at Amazon and stars Michael B Jordan in the origin story of Navy Seal, Senior Chief, John Kelly. Jordan's character takes a rightful place in the Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan universe. That said, I'll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum.

The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie: Review
If anyone could be considered the progenitor of the modern crime novel, it surely must be Agatha Christie. Her work has been one that many have sought to emulate over the years: authors like Ruth Rendell, Colin Wexford and so many others owe their careers in fiction to Christie. Like what Ian Flemming did for spy novels, Christie defined the genre as we know it today. And, in Hercule Poirot, she created the very definition of the modern super sleuth: smart, dry, slightly eccentric, but always observant and sharp. One of the most famous Poirot stories is, of course, 'The ABC Murders', and it is one that has been adapted for stage and screen many times. And, reading the original novel, it is clear why this is one of the most celebrated stories in Christie's oeuvre. A fast-paced and exciting book, with plenty of twists and turns, this is crime fiction at its best, and serves to remind the audience of how great the genre is, regardless of the detective in charge of the investigation.

My Review of "Lucky Grandma"
Lucky Grandma is a comedy that came out in 2019. I didn't hear too much about this one because it is a low budget independent movie. Although, the grandma starts off as an unlikeable grump, I eventually grew to like her through the movie. I went even so far as cheered for her by the end of the movie. Despite the many comical situations that happen in this movie there are some deeper existential questions sprinkled throughout the movie.

My Review of "Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar"
Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a comedy that came out recently in 2021. I think it's a crying shame that not a lot of people are giving it much buzz. Although I didn't know what I was getting into when I decided to watch this movie, I was taken aback how wacky it ended up being. You have to understand that I'm into wild and zany comedies and not a lot of them come out anymore. That's why this movie floored me as I was watching it.
