Thor: Ragnarok - Movie Review
Thor: Ragnarok directed by Taika Waititi is the third cinematic solo outing for Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), the Thunder God superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. The film centres upon Thor's cosmic journey through different worlds to prevent Ragnarok, an event of cataclysmic proportions that could spell the end of Thor's home world of Asgard by the actions of Surtur (Clancy Brown), an omnipotent demon as well as Hela (Cate Blanchett), a long lost Asgardian set to conquer and rule. Along with Thor, the movie sees the return of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as the trickster god who as usual gets up to mischief and trickery, Hulk and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who finds himself in another galaxy as a gladiator champion to the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). We also see the debut of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) who is a wayward Asgardian warrior who adopts the "Han Solo"-esque lifestyle of working as a mercenary for the Grandmaster.

In preparation for a long road trip, I gave my mom the daunting task of picking out a book for me to read. She came back from the store with I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, which ended up being the best book I have ever had the privilege to read. The book’s cover features a plain white background with one of the book’s best quotes written in bright, shiny colours, which foreshadows the vivid story that lies in the black and white pages.

Each time I take a drag from my cigarette, my intention is to slowly fade your face out of my memory. I do it to forget all the time we had spent together.

Since the disease outbreak life in our quiet little town has quickly diminished into a war zone. There was no signs, no steady descent into madness. It was an unexpected bomb that dropped at our feet.

Everyone loves a scary story. We watch horror movies, read countless Stephen King novels, and subscribe to Reddit threads such as No Sleep just for that tiny, primal thrill. But everyone has a limit, a line that's drawn by the sliver of light underneath the bedroom door. The dark ignites all of our deepest fears, and listening to a scary story while swathed in it is liable to get you a ticket on the Nightmare Train. But if you're one of those people who relishes forced insomnia, here are eight podcasts that you should never listen to in the dark.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in! Gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!"— Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance to his on-screen wife, Wendy, played by Shelley Duvall

The echo of her four--inch stilettos bounced from wall to wall in the dark corridor, the musky smell of damp trying to overpower her liberal spray of Chanel perfume, her crisp white lab coat displaying her name in blood red embroidery on the left breast pocket. She pushes hard on the double doors and blinks in the bright florescent light shining overhead in the hospital basement. She stops to take in the sight in front of her, ten standard hospital beds all lined up against the far wall looking like white marble dominoes laid flat. The room was an average size operating theatre and held all the equipment you would expect in such. She got to work reading each file slowly to ensure she had all the information needed. Each bed held a male ranging in age from 18 up to 70 and they all looked petrified, as most patients do in hospitals.
