Reviews of My First Five Animes
(Disclaimer: These are all just my opinions. You are allowed to agree or disagree as you please, but keep it civil.) I'm Jenny, I'm 26-years-old, and I am just now getting into anime. I didn't grow up with anime the way some other people my age did. Sure, I watched a few episodes of Pokemon, but that was about the extent that my anime enjoyment went. In middle school and high school, I purposely went out of my way to watch anime because that's what all the other kids were watching, and I thought hating on it would make me cool and unique. (You know how teenagers are.)

"It Had to Be You" by Lizzy Charles - BOOK REVIEW
** ARC provided in exchange for honest review ** “It Had to Be You” is a sweet YA Romance, which turned into out to be a fairly good read. Charles wrote an intelligent portrayal of teenager characters, both with complexity and depth rather than being stereotyped.

"Everything, Everything" Film Review
In truth, as I grew up I tended to avoid films or novels that featured a disabled protagonist - not because I didn't want to see these characters in fiction, but what I saw I disliked for quite some time. Only recently have writers actually developed characters as fleshed out individuals

Twilight Really Isn't That Bad
In 2008 something very normal and expected happened, a hoard of young girls quickly became obsessed with a small independent film based on a book series called Twilight. Then Something slightly weirder and unexpected happened, anybody who didn't love the movie absolutely hated it. Every movie critic every adult male, even every cynical young girl hated Twilight almost as much as the fans loved it. Slowly as the years went by and the young girls who once adored and idolized everything surrounding the movie started growing up and The Twilight Saga while still popular was understood to be an absolutely terrible series of films. Both the films and everyone involved in them were constantly joked about and made fun of, nobody took Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson seriously until both their respective endeavors in more serious independent films and any mention of Twilight, in general, was practically disgusting in serious circles. To this day none of the movies have a rotten tomato score over 50%. It’s clear that amongst clever or level headed people The Twilight Saga is just a product of its time, it started the young adult adaptation craze and it really paved the way for sexy vampires in the 21st century, but as far as artistic merit goes it's considered garbage. Clearly no one is willing to admit that The Twilight Saga is anything but an unwatchable mess, and it may be unpopular to say this but I will take the bullet and say Twilight is not as bad as everyone says it is.

My Review of "Awakenings"
Awakenings came out back in 1990. It's based on a true story that talks about a lot of deep things. I remember seeing the trailers for this movie when it first came out and never thought of watching it. Today as we're going through this global pandemic I needed something uplifting to watch. So I decided to give it a try.

My Review of "Titanic"
I barely remember watching this movie. I think I first saw Titanic because at the time it was really hyped up. Now that I have a lot of time on my hands I thought it would be a good idea to see if this movie passes the test of time.
