'Thor: Ragnarok' Review
Thor: Ragnarok does most things better than any Marvel film to date. A fantastically, colourfully high watermark for the assembly line series. But it’s still a Marvel film. It has the same non-existent level of stakes as the rest. The same abundance of jokes, hollow drama, dreary exposition, winning chemistry, a shrug of the shoulders third act, etc. But what it has that no other Marvel film, or most movies for that matter, is Led Zeppelin’s "Immigrant Song" (twice!). And that immediately rockets it into a stratosphere all of it own, to be showered with adoration, gifts, and all worldly pleasures as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s champion.

For Your Consideration: ABC's 'The Good Doctor'
The Good Doctor has quickly become one of the most popular dramas on television. But why? Why is this show about a doctor with autism so very popular? Why has it, in some demographics, surpassed such beloved shows as The Big Bang Theory in the ratings? What is it about The Good Doctor that struck such a chord with a mass audience? The answer may be somewhat insulting to both the show and its viewers but it makes sense: The Good Doctor is mediocrity for the masses.

Reed Alexander's Review of "Rubber (2010)"
SPOILERS!!! THIS cinematic masterpiece is a meta introspective view on our sullen lives as the audience whom craves a release from our daily routine. A primordial beckoning, if you will, towards a greater purpose through the art we wish to consume. “Rubber” is nothing less than a true reflection of our dull lives from which we long to break free.
