The Boys
TW: Brief talk of sexual assault We've all seen a superhero movie, or 12. It seems like every other blockbuster these days is centered on some person or alien with extraordinary powers who saves the day over and over. It was cool in like, 2012, but after a decade of Marvel movie after Marvel movie (and a few DC movies peppered in there to remind us which studio is superior), the superhero market has become predictable and, honestly, a little stale. Some people will probably hate me for that statement, but for the general public, another movie where Captain America and Iron Man fly around and save the city gets old. There have been a few movies in recent years that have been a breath of fresh air, like Spiderman: Into the Spidervsere, but for the most part, I've been unimpressed with the same formula being churned out over and over.

My Review of "Terminator: Dark Fate"
Terminator: Dark Fate is the latest Terminator sequel that had come out in 2019. As much as people didn't like Terminator: Genisys, I actually think that movie was better than this one. At least the rules of the story were consistent and I didn't question so much of the movie. This one was very odd and I'll tell you why.

I Watched Netflix's Jingle Jangle
A magical musical film that is filled with wishes, wonder, and magic. This musical film opens with a grandmother (played by Phylicia Rashad) reads her two grandchildren a bedtime story called The Inventions of Jeronicus Jangle. Inside the book, it is filled with robotic puppetry telling the story while the grandmother narrates the story. The story begins at a shop called Jangles and Things, owned by the young inventor Jeronicus Jangle (played by Justin Cornwell). The song opens "This Day"(not the Usher and Kiana Lede version), a beautiful opening song with his wife Joanne Jangle (played by Sharon Rose) singing along and his daughter Jessica Jangle (played by Diaana Babnicova) and the whole townspeople of Cobbleton dancing with incredible hip hop moves.

Dash and Lily is a Christmas Miracle
After confessing my embarrassing penchant for repeatedly watching a rather badly made Christmas Rom Com, I discovered a cute little gem on Netflix. I avoided it for the first while, thinking what a silly concept to have a tv show set around Christmas because how would that work as the seasons went on? It kept popping up in my recommended and curiosity finally got the better of me and I'm so glad it did.

Why We Love “Emily In Paris.”
Netflix has a fun cultural tease for us that is oozing in popularity right now. Why has this American dramedy taken Netflix by storm? The acting is quality but the uncultured overly confident Emily can be quite obnoxious at times especially for those of us au fais with European languages and cultures.

Why We Should Be More Forgiving of Harper in 'Happiest Season'
If you're like me and pretty much every other member of the LGBTQ+ community, you were ecstatic about Happiest Season hitting Hulu. The film directed by queer actress/director Clea DuVall dropped on Hulu this past week, and already, viewers have a lot to say about the Christmas-themed romantic comedy. Not only is it the first major Christmas release to feature a same-sex couple, but it also amps up LGBTQ+ representation by featuring queer actors. Aside from this, the story itself has gained quite the response from viewers.
