My Review of "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness"
I've been hearing the hype about Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness for quite some time. I wanted to wait to watch this one with my girlfriend because she really loves this show. In the mean time there have been countless memes and jokes about this show that I didn't understand.

An Anime Review of 'Violet Evergardan: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll'
The feature length follow up to the KyoAni series, based on the novels Violet Evergarden. I have spoken extensively about the show on this platform before, and this film allows me to sing the praises of Violet Evergarden once again. If you are looking for my, to the point, recommendation, it is simply to get on Netflix and watch it right now. While I have been hard on Netflix for its treatment of seasonal anime, I have always maintained it is a great service nonetheless and that I am a fan of the fact they host various media including anime films.

My Review of "Twins"
I've seen the movie Twins so many times in the past but it just recently came up on Netflix again. I knew I had to watch it again. This 1988 classic movie came up when I was a little kid so I have watched it in three different times in my life.

My Review of "She's Out Of My League"
She's Out Of My League is an interesting movie. I've seen this movie 10 years ago when it first came out so I wasn't so sure how it aged. Seeing as movies such as Hitch by Will Smith haven't fared so well in this new world I thought this movie might suffer the same fate. Thankfully it doesn't. It talks about personal insecurities. Looking deeper into this movie you can see how it still relates to how we treat each other today.

"Tiger King" | Netflix TV Review
After multiple friends and even my sister badgering me to watch this show I gave in and decided to binge watch the entire show. Of course with the current lock-down helped me binge watch the entire show in one sitting. Sat here writing this (the next day to be exact), I'm still trying to decide how I even truly feel about this bizarre documentary; but lets see what comes out of my head as I write this.

Vivarium (2019)
Near enough. And far enough. Just the right distance. During this Corona crisis, watching a movie was an impossible task for me. Let alone that I could write down a sensible word to form an opinion. But now three weeks later, the urge to watch a movie once again came back. And I could focus on the movie without my mind wandering off to some disaster scenarios. Apparently, my doom thinking disappeared. And hurray. Even the traditional formulation of an opinion was possible again. Only the choice of film was a bit unfortunate. “Vivarium” isn’t exactly a movie that’ll make you happy. It has many similarities with the situation people in the world are in today. Isolated and tied to one specific living space. No contact with others. And a feeling of powerlessness, fear, and despair. However, it’s not a deadly virus why Gemma (Imogen “Green Room” Poots) and Tom (Jesse “The Social Network” Eisenberg) are in this situation.

My Review of "The Battered Bastards of Baseball"
I have to admit that I don't know what took me so long to watch The Battered Bastards of Baseball. It came out back in 2014 exclusively on Netflix. When it first came out there were some intriguing trailers that made me interested in watching it. Luckily the Netflix used their great algorithms and highlighted it to me. I didn't know how much of a ride I was in for.

My Review of "ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas"
I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of ZZ Top but I do like a few of their songs. I wasn't sure if ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas was going to be a good documentary. I haven't really followed this band and the last songs I remembered hearing from them was from the 80's and 90's. There's a lot of time to waste nowadays and I was really happy that I took the chance and watched this documentary.
