Character Development
The Wrestler
The Wrestler is a heartbreaking story about a man sacrificing every ounce of himself to a truly unforgiving world. This is a wonderful, relatable story of chasing your love despite all the pain and heartache. But it also has a great message to always live life on your terms, period.

Uncut Gems
My goodness this film is truly something else. From start to finish this film is an emotional rollercoaster, with an extremely underrate performance by Adam Sandler. This film had me glued to the screen from start to finish. For all Adam Sandler fans, this has to be his pinnacle performance.

"Long Live The Pumpkin Queen"
The book Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw is a sweet and enthralling sequel to the Tim Burton's movie "Nightmare Before Christmas." It has a powerful theme of growth, courage, loyalty, bravery, and staying true to one's self, no matter where you go, or what situation you're in.

“Giant” is a Jelly Donut
You have to chew through a lot of doughy footage in this movie before you get to the heart of it. And that heart is Jimmy Dean. Mumbling and awkward, Dean creates a character that goes deeper than the oil drill he labours over, making "Giant" digestible and ultimately delicious.

WandaVision
A Marvel Cinematic Universe show that was hugely popular and fun to watch, WandaVision presented a clever take on loss, grief, and the psychopathology of superhumans. However, the twist felt unearned, a "switcheroo" instead of a satisfying reveal, and Legion handled the same topics earlier and better, without any fanfare.

A Game of Thrones: A Critique
The "Game of Thrones" TV show series captivated audiences with its intricate politics and fantasy world, but its rushed final season disappointed fans who craved satisfying character arcs. The swift resolution of long-standing conflicts overshadowed the series' rich storytelling, leaving viewers wanting more coherence and depth in the concluding episodes.

The Shining
A cleverly thought-out film with hidden messages and gritty undertone, The Shining remains a true classic. From the mind of Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick's genius produced a timeless work of art. Speaking for every writer, I'm sure we've all been consumed by our work, slowly losing our grip on reality.
