Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad was one of the most talked about and hyped about films in 2016. With superhero franchises and crossovers on the rise in cinema, it's very easy to see why. The film is about a team of dangerously crazy villains completing missions under the direction of Amanda Walker in exchange for reduced prison sentences and privileges. Before we get fully started on this review, I feel that I should say that I have not read any of the Suicide Squad comics, but I do know some of the characters from DC Comics. I saw it twice in the cinema and seen it several times with friends at home.

BEING AN INTROVERT is the Flashy New Outfit You Want to Show Off Out on the Town
Fashion experts predict that the number one standout look this season is being an introvert. You've probably noticed the hordes of articles with subjects like "how people don't understand introverts" and "how to treat introverts" and "why introverts are better than those filthy annoying and mundane extroverts that are so 2000s."

Movie Review: 'Maudie'
I’ve never been a fan of the heartstring tuggers. I find such things cloying and manipulative and I am far too cynical such things. And yet, even I am not immune to having my heartstrings tugged. The recently released biopic Maudie, starring the lovely Sally Hawkins, plucked every string like a classic string quartet. The story of real life Nova Scotia-based artist Maude Lewi,s who achieved minor fame in the 1950s for her homespun paintings, is the rare tear-jerker with the cinematic skill to back up the uplift.

H'ween Horrorthon: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
"The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."Opening narration for the film.

Box Office Gold or Bust 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle'
On Thursday, September 21, I saw an early screening of the sequel to the amazing sharp-dressed action-comedy Kingsman. I had high hopes for the movie, since the first was one of my favorite films of all time. Kingsman is known for being high-octane, fun-filled and entertaining. Did The Golden Circle meet my expectations?

What Freedom Really Means
What is true self knowledge? Have you ever felt like a unicorn in a field of ponies? I think that we mostly perceive ourselves as different from others. In this case I’m going to give a couple of different hypotheses; the first is that, yes, we are that unicorn in a field of ponies but that's because our self-worth reflects that we recognize ourselves as this unique being. In the instance that this is true, we define ourselves worthy of that recognition. Secondly, maybe we feel that we are a pony in a field of unicorns and we may not value ourselves to a certain degree. In this case, self-knowledge is recognizing who you are because of how you perceive yourself against others.

My Review of Fairy Tail
When I start talking about Fairy Tail the anime, people usually think that I'm talking about a fairy tale like Red Riding Hood or The Little Mermaid. However, this review isn't on fairy tales that our parents read to us for bedtime stories. This is actually my review on Fairy Tail and what it's about, why I like it, and why I recommend it to people who are just getting into anime. So here we go.

Movie Review: 'Stronger'
Stronger stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Jeff Bauman, a man who lost his legs to the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. Before the marathon, Jeff was just an anonymous Costco employee who loved the Red Sox and wanted to reconcile with his girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany) who dumped him because he rarely showed up when he was supposed to. On April 15, 2013, Jeff finally showed up at the Boston Marathon in the hope that his homemade sign cheering Erin on to the finish line might win her back.
