Initial Thoughts It is hard to ignore a film which has Charlize Theron once again paired with Nicolas Hoult and has alongside them, Christina Hendricks and Chloe Grace Moretz. For these actors, as a collective, alongside a synopsis about murder mystery, just leads you to wonder who plays who, who of them might be the…
Overview After getting some background on how the quest came into being, it is all action from there! Review (with Spoilers) As we inch closer to the finale in 8 episodes, it seems this arc may end up being rather short. For with us meeting the King of The Giants, Thrym, in the episode, I…
Overview Sword Art Online returns to Alfheim Online for there is a civil war brewing amongst the game’s AI.

One dealing with a…
Overview With a combination of dance, love, and politics, this film creates an odd mixture of the three which works perfectly.

Overview Dear White People is not as offensive as it looks, nor is it as complex as some may want it to be. Review (with Spoilers) Whenever I see a film which is either geared toward Black people or has a Black majority cast, it is always an awkward experience. Solely due to the fact…
If you’re tired of superhero movies being PG-13, meaning there is less violence and sex, and you want your hero to be an anti-hero, who is as vulgar as Seth Rogen and co., but a little less funny, this movie is for you.
Overview Though AIDS for most is a death sentence, it also can be that jolt which changes people’s lives.

Overview As we go into part 2 of wrapping up the show’s first arc, a lot is explained in terms of how Death Gun came about. Review (with Spoilers) While the next episode is called “Debriefing,” it does seem most of the debriefing is done in this episode. We learn who the three members of…
Overview Death Gun’s true identity, partly, is revealed and we begin the transition to the 2nd half of the season. Trigger Warning(s): Attempted Sexual Assault Review (with Spoilers) With 24 episodes, and this being episode 13, it means it is time for the show to begin shifting toward its 2nd arc. However, with Death Gun…
Overview The time finally arrives when there is less talking and more action. Review (with Spoilers) Despite us only being one episode removed since Death Gun and Kirito faced off last, strangely it feels like it has been more than that. However, with Death Gun and Kirito coming face to face, and finally facing off…
Overview In a semi-filler episode, Sinon and Kirito figure out how Death Gun is able to kill his victims. Review (with Spoilers) With Sinon and Kirito temporarily escaping Death Gun, they take their time in a desert cave for granted and mostly have foregone the possibility of an ambush for they need to mentally strengthen…
Overview After a quick face off against Death Gun, Kirito and Sinon verbally share the guilt which comes from murdering in self-defense.

Overview With Death Gun spotted, taking him out becomes a top priority. Review (with Spoilers) The pace of the show, and action, picks up as Death Gun becomes an active villain.

Overview After a slightly lengthy prelude, we get to see the Bullet of Bullets 3 contest! Review (with Spoilers) After boring qualifying matches, and then Kirito’s breakdown, Bullet of Bullets has finally begun! Leading me to hope that the imbalance of story and quality action is fixed. If just because these gunners are supposed to…
Overview As the Germanians strategize, we learn what Finé’s men are willing to do to win the war.

Overview Riley decides to do something even Maya wouldn’t dare do: Say no and disobey Topanga. Review (with Spoilers) With it still remaining unclear if Girl Meets World may have a season 4, episodes like this kind of remind you why Disney is kind of iffy about the idea. The writers seem to want to…
Overview The storm has passed and with that comes a calm. Not a calm before the storm because this show isn’t about such things. It’s the type of calm which is healing. For while there are uprooted trees and fallen branches, yeah there maybe some tears. But in rebuilding, you are reminded of who is…
Overview The first season ends without much in the way of grand gestures or storyline and in many ways that is what seems appropriate. Review (with Spoilers) It is kind of weird for a season finale to not end on a cliffhanger, wrap up major stories, or be anything but just another episode. Admittedly, in…
Overview Welcome back to A&E’s Biography featuring Taraji P. Henson. We’re still going to make references to Empire and other media while Taraji speaks to us, not in your usual conversational tone, but like all this is just marketing.

Overview More and more people venture toward the maze and as this is done it is hard to not begin to question who are some of these newcomers outside of the world of Westworld? Review (with Spoilers) The maze. What is at the center of it? One theory lurks in my head, especially as Arnold’s…
Overview Humans returns and while time has moved forward, things largely remain the same. Review (with Spoilers) It has been a very long time since original and new episode of Humans has aired. So long that, honestly, if it wasn’t for me adding all the season 1 reviews, I would be so lost as to…
Overview A father learns to adapt, as he has before, to a family member, in this case, his daughter, dealing with a mental illness and it being so close to home. Review (with Spoilers) When I first read this book it was sometime when I was in high school. At the time I was trying…
Overview This episode steps away from GGO to have both Shino and Kirito reflect on what happened in the last episode. Review (with Spoilers) I wouldn’t necessarily call this a filler episode, but I must admit I was kind of bored watching Kirito give himself a guilt trip over the three members of Laughing Coffin…
Overview Three lackluster battles are made up for with a flashback and Kirito and Sinon getting intimately close. Review (with Spoilers) I partly am disappointed in this episode, if just because Kirito’s battles in GGO remain lackluster, and even Sinon’s lacked the excitement of the first one we saw her in. If anything, it feels…
Overview With the first match of Battle of Bullets 3 coming, Kirito decides to reveal he is a guy to Sinon. Review (with Spoilers) In this episode, the action begins and with Kirito being a sword user, I think we may not get the type of battles we have seen from Sinon when it comes…
Overview When Shino/ Sinon met Kirito.

Overview After a year recovering, it seems Kirito is about to be thrown into another VRMMO game. Review (with Spoilers) When it comes to successful series of late, that don’t seem to go way past their expiration date, like Naruto and many others, Sword Art Online is probably one of the few that didn’t seek…
Overview The Intern is a strangely crafted film. It focuses mostly on the difference of generations, that of Robert De Niro’s vs. Anne Hathaway’s, and how many issues remain between them. Yet, at the same time, it shows the beauty of when seasoned and up and coming come together and work on something, learn from…
Overview David O’Russell gathers his team again for another film with his star Jennifer Lawrence at the helm. A role she takes on quite well and perhaps shows that as iconic as she is slowly becoming with her antics off the set, perhaps she isn’t like her contemporaries and the big stars of yore. As…
Overview In a 3 in 1 story, we explore the complications of three relationships. Review (with Spoilers) With a cast boasting Liam Neeson, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, as well as Adrien Brody, in starring roles, it is hard to not be intrigued what this combination would do. Though with a low box office tally, as…
Overview If you thought Betty White was offensively funny, if you thought Seth Rogen was one of the best in balancing crude humor with the pangs which come from growing older, you haven’t seen nothing yet.

Overview Beneath a strange sci-fi exterior lies a wealth of social commentary which will remind you of the distance you put between yourself and your negative emotions.
