My Review of "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum"
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is a movie that I wanted to watch but I also didn't want to watch at the same time. I loved the first two John Wick movies but the second movie ended on such a dire situation. It was so crazy that I didn't think anything could be done to the third one that would help John Wick get out of his horrible predicament without seeming absolutely absurd. I sort of wanted to end my memories of John Wick with the second one because I wanted to remember him on a high point. I eventually caved in after some coaxing from friends.

My Review of "The Flash: Season 6"
The Flash: Season 6 is a pretty ambitious season and as a season itself it can be quite confusing and frustrating to watch by itself because of the Crisis story-line that they added to the CW DC universe. I believe you'll have a much better time with this season if you were able to watch the other CW DC universe franchises along with the Flash. I wasn't able to view these other shows so I didn't really have as great of an experience.

My Review of "Gentlemen"
Gentlemen was kind of an enigma when it first came out. When the trailer for this movie came out I thought that they had so many quick cuts that I couldn't tell what it was about. I sort of forgot about this movie for a while until it came out. At that point they used a font to advertise this movie that made me think it was related to the Kingsman franchise. You have to compare the movie posters to know what I'm talking about. I decided to check it out anyways.

Parasite: The Movie
I have always loved books and movies. They have been my way of learning new things, visiting new places, being educated about history, and learning about different people. When I was younger, it was something of a ritual for my parents to visit the video rental shop and buy VHS movie tapes which we would watch that weekend. This was long before the internet, the PC, and the technology explosion. There was always something for everyone - Ninja movies, action flicks, drama, comedy, and much more. Sometimes, my dad would give us a lecture at the end of the film to drive home some life lessons. One of his favorite expressions was 'In every work of fiction, there is an element of truth'.

My Review of "The Tiger Hunter"
The Tiger Hunter showed up on my Netflix suggestions out of nowhere. I haven't ever heard of it but it seemed like an interesting film to check it out. When I initially started watching it, I had an idea that it was going to be your typical romantic comedy but it isn't. This movie is more about chasing dreams and learning what's important in life.

2020 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival: Virtual Edition Mini-Reviews – Part 2
Read part 1 of our 2020 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival coverage here. The Wheels of Wonder Play is a very important aspect of every child’s development. It gets them moving, stimulates their imagination, and helps develop problem-solving skills. This is especially true for children in refugee camps in Beirut, and this documentary follows a team of inspired engineers, designers, and play experts that create a prototype play cart for these children. Described as looking like a bizarre combination of Ikea and NASA, the play cart is filled with hundreds of loose parts for the children to play with, as well as the cart itself which can be reassembled into a portable playground.
