You Should Watch Spectreman at Least Once in Your Lifetime and Here's Why
In a recent nerdy conversation with my friend Shane, he suggested I watch a 1970s Japanese television show called Spectreman. Watching his face light up as he explained how much he loved the main character and the joy it brought to him convinced me I should give Spectreman a watch. He had me so interested, I told him that I would write an article about the show. So, after work, I went home, made a simple Google search, found the English dubbed episodes on a Youtube playlist, and sat down at my computer to watch the first episode.

Scorpion(2014–2018)- Review
"Not Good" as Jadyn Wong's character Happy Quinn would say almost every episode, the series too can be simply put under that category. The premise of the series is very simple; a group of 'geniuses' use their intelligence time and again to solve complex problems, usually problems that can't be solved by anyone else. These high-intellect individuals work for Scorpion, lead & founded by Walter O'Brien (Elyes Gabel) whose IQ is the fourth-highest ever recorded. Walter is aided by Sylvester Dodd (Ari Stidham) a 'human calculator', Tobias Curtis (Eddie Kaye Thomas) a world-renowned behaviorist, and Happy Quinn (Jadyn Wong) 'world's best mechanic'. The team also houses a couple of ordinary people, Agent Cabe Gallo (Robert Patrick) a Homeland Agent working as the muscle of the team, and finally Paige Dineen (Katherine McPhee) who helps the geniuses interact with the world. Scorpion throughout the series takes on numerous high-profile cases which on the face of it seem impossible to be worked with.

Money, Power, and a lot of Drama
I would be lying if I told you that I don't love drama. Ever since I was a teen, I have taken pleasure in knowing the latest piece of gossip, exaggerated fights, fancy possessions, and a great story. If you are anything like me and you cannot get enough of family secrets and disputes, lavish dresses and jewellery, unexpected plot twists, and a whole lot of drama, you have come to the right place.

My Review of "Coming 2 America"
Coming 2 America is the sequel we never thought would ever come. I think they ended the first movie pretty well that they didn't really need another one but why not? We're doing this with a lot of other movie nowadays. This isn't necessarily a bad thing either though. Fans of the first movie should enjoy this movie but I'm not entirely sure how many people continually watch the original to understand all the references in this movie.

Unusual Love, Actually
Love Actually is one of my favorite love movies of all time, and I am not the sort of person who enjoys romantic films. Released in 2003, the complexity of the movie's several overlapping stories of love captivated audiences worldwide. Nearly everyone who liked this movie found a love plot comparable to something they've experienced which made the movie relatable, as opposed to romance films that lead into the perfect happy ending with the perfect story to get them there. It also helped to have an enormous cast of several well-known actors, such as Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightly, and Hugh Grant.

My Review of "WandaVision: Season 1"
WandaVision: Season 1 came out quite surprisingly in early 2021. Not a lot was known about this series and it came abruptly since it was very quiet on the Marvel Universe front for quite a while. This series helped satiate a lot of Marvel fan's appetite for new content. Again the series was kept under secrecy so no one really knew what was going to happen.

When life gives you lemons
Remember how you first felt watching The Truman show? You knew something was off. It was all just a little too perfect, a little too scripted. Sure enough, “scripted” was the perfect way to describe that movie. Poor Truman was playing a role in a faux-reality show from the time of his birth. No – before birth! Cameras had even found their way inside the womb with him!

My Review of "The Sopranos: Season 2"
The Sopranos: Season 2 comes off a stellar first season. That's usually the case when it comes to fantastic first seasons. Well there are the odd exceptions like the Heroes franchise. There's a sense of quality that comes with HBO shows that I can't really put my finger on and this one is another great show.

My Review of "Irresistible"
Irresistible is a political comedy that was released in 2020. There wasn't a lot of fanfare for this movie as it came out during the whole lockdown. It's too bad because I think this movie might surprise some people. They have a lot of messages in this movie that were pretty interesting and very truthful in a way.
