This was one of those movies where the acting was above what the movie provided. I don't know if it was the story alone, or the poor plot edits (lots of, wait did I miss something?), or the reinterpretation of the movie from its 1955 counterpart. I don't know. I feel...
The GM TIM
Tea with a Spoon of the Delusion of Fascism
Ok, first thing first. The leads in this film are some of the most epic actors of our time. The critics didn't like it much, unlees they were looking at it from a 60 european art cinema lens. I feel like this movie has a European/French-Film narative to it that is...
Pay it somewhere
The anti-hero was nothing new in 1999. And honestly, neither was this movie. It is based off a book written in 1962 called The Hunter. It was the second movie to be adapted from it. The first being Point Blank in 1967. This movie felt. It felt. I don't know. Forced? I...

IRON WIDOW: A RELENTLESS JOURNEY TOWARDS EMPOWERMENT AND CHALLENGING NORMS
The novel's intensity might be challenging for some readers, as it delves into dark themes and presents an emotionally charged storyline. However, this intensity lies at the heart of what I believe is the book's purpose: to evoke a spectrum of emotions, from anger and...

It’s truly an honor to be recognized for my passion and contribution to the local TTRPG scene.
Phoenix Extravagant: Painting Outside the Lines
I did find the pacing of the story to be a bit slow at times, and while the complex and nuanced portrayal of colonialism and cultural identity makes for a compelling and thought-provoking read, it took me more to get into this book than some others I have read. I...
