From Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Priceless, the movie you must watch
If This Then That: From Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Priceless By Natasha Norford When Paul Varjack asks Holly Golightly to borrow her apartment’s phone one morning in New York, and she obligingly fishes it out from a suitcase by the wall- a stage is set, a romance begun- and a story of time-proved perfection unravels sumptuously forth, in glorious cinematic sequence.

Strong Bat and a Scared Rabbit
Finding a new movie or series to watch after finishing one almost seems impossible after devoting your time and emotions into a story. I most definitely felt this way after watching the newly released Zack Snyder’s Justice League. After years of anticipation, starting with just the tease of an idea and with the help of an audience, Zack Snyder was finally able to work on and release his version of the Justice League. The Snyder Cut is the perfect resurrection and restoration of the Justice League after having to endure the Joss Whedon’s 2017 Justice League, in which was full of boredom and CGI so bad that I had to cover my cat’s eyes so she didn’t have to watch the horror that was Superman’s CGI’d upper lip. I still get chills just thinking about it.

A Guilty (Film) Pleasure
Ah, the road trip comedy—there is a place for them in the film world, even if you think your tastes are too refined. Then one day in the heart of summer of ‘09 you find yourself howling at The Hangover, and a decade later slapping on a decal of a baby in a beanie on the back of your electric vehicle.

Go Getters Go Get: How to get into On Becoming a God in Central Florida if you loved The Politician
It's no secret that we live in a high octane society that tells us to work harder, earn more, buy more stuff and achieve absolute success. We are constantly being fed an image of an ideal that shows if we just work hard enough, we can rise to the top of our respective field, regardless of luck or privilege or availability of opportunity. To go further than that, the idols we now worship have changed; while it used to be ancient, all-knowing Gods in the past, we now worship brands, celebrities and politicians with a ride-or-die instinct that has us following their every move. Hell, it's gotten to a stage where a person trying to make money on Instagram is not just a person, but rather an Influencer with a brand instead of a personality.

NB Reviews: "Minari"
I'm on a quest. A quest to review all 8 of this years nominees for the Academy Award for Best Picture before Oscar night. This, in my opinion, was an exceedingly good batch of nominees. I loved almost all of the films (and I've already reviewed the one I didn't like). So, let's talk about Minari (Dir. by Lee Isaac Chung).

'Nobody' Review — A Bloody Blast
Action movies of this type are an increasingly rare breed; moviegoers looking for gunfire and explosions are most likely to find it in a superhero epic or an existing franchise, such as Mission: Impossible or Fast & Furious. Studios are less likely to take risks on original action movies, but that is exactly what we’re getting here.

My Review of "Bill & Ted Face the Music"
Bill & Ted Face the Music came out via streaming back in 2020 when the pandemic had hit the world the hardest. We were all quarantined with little in terms of entertainment to keep us going. I'm sad to say that I didn't see this when it first came out but I'm glad that I finally did get to check this movie out.

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER: Episode 2 Review
If the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier gave us a rendition of Bucky's and Sam's trying to navigate life after being blipped back into the world and defeating Thanos, the second one throws us right in the middle of the action.

A Walk in the Woods - A Movie Review
When you said we were going for a walk in the woods, I thought you were kidding. A Walk in the Woods was released to theaters in 2015. Based on the biographical book of the same name written by Bill Bryson, two hikers decide to hike the Appalachian Trail. Neither one in shape for this hike, Bill and Stephen bond over stories as they meet new people along their adventure.

Zack Snyder's Justice League, At Long Last
Back in 2016, when I sat down to watch Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice in theatres, I was excited. Despite its problems, Man of Steel hadn't been a terrible introduction to the DC Universe, and I was interested in seeing how characters like Batman and Wonder Woman were to be introduced, especially since they didn't have any independent movies tying into BvS. Marvel seemed to have the formula for superhero movies down to a science, so seeing someone try something different was refreshing. Unfortunately, I did not have a good time - the movie was clunky, excruciatingly long, and quite boring in its entirety. I left the theatre thoroughly disappointed, and make no mistake, I really wanted to care - DC has some of my favorite superheroes, and ever since watching Superman Returns as a kid, I've always wanted to see them on the big screen. However, BvS was so dull that I found that I was pessimistic about any movie in the franchise panning out to be a success. I stayed away from the future movies after this - I watched the first Wonder Woman movie, and despite it being surprisingly good, it was not enough to convince me to get invested in the extended universe.
