Another Round(2020)- Review
Another Round is a 2020 Danish film circling around four teachers and close friends. All of them lack motivation and are continuing to live their dull lives. On the occasion of Nikolaj's (Magnus Millang) 40th birthday dinner, the four start to discuss psychiatrist Finn Skårderud's theories specifically his theory of maintaining a blood alcohol content of 0.05 which he reckons can make a person more creative and relaxed. Initially dismissing the theory and the idea of experimenting with it; Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) who finds himself extremely sad and depressed due to difficulties in his personal life, starts drinking at work. The other three inspired by Martin are invigorated to join in and make it an experiment of Skårderud's theory. The movie continuous with the four experimenting with binge drinking albeit with rules and their self-defined restrictions.

Voyeur: The Windows Of Toulouse-Lautrec"
It's 1899 and Bated Breath has turned the West Village into Paris; from the fantastic costumes of that time period to great dancing on MacDougal St. and wonderful opera singing on 5th Avenue, "Voyeur" is an interesting body of work both conceived and directed by Mara Lieberman.

How Harry Potter taught me to protect my energy.
Harry Potter was a staple in the non-fiction movie and book realm throughout the 2000s, drawing in record breaking sales with every movie release. It’s innovative fiction telling capability about spells, wizards, and sci-fi narratives shot its viewers into an imaginatory world of good vs. evil, and wands that could kill with a movement, along with cloaks that came with invisibility. This fantasy world came to be immersive for so many readers and watchers in America, but what if I told you it held gems inside of some of its fantasy-driven narrative?

Will There Be A Reboot?
In the age of reboots and rehashing old television and movies there's one that I've been waiting for since my senior year in high school. While Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas may be past their primes and having Crockett and Tubbs on the streets of Miami running and gunning might be a hard sell, there's unfinished business with that series that has gone unanswered for too long. So, in my imagination, it would have to be a passing of the torch series. It has been done before. Hopefully, the online rumors of a project in the works might mean that they are going to do it again.

Where the Woodbine Twineth actress Margaret Leighton continued acting after MS diagnosis
Where the Woodbine Twineth The beautiful and talented Margaret Leighton was clearly a class act in her day. I first caught a glimpse of her in the 1965 episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode “Where the Woodbine Twineth.” In this program, Leighton portrayed stern Aunt Nell, who attempted to raise her brother’s daughter after he died.

Velvet-lined Vintage
A few years ago, a touring Broadway company was bringing The Phantom of the Opera through my city. I bought tickets to take my best friend (and a small group of our compatriots) to the show for his birthday and planned a somewhat elaborate evening out for the lot of us. The tickets were a surprise, and I wanted to do something a little more elaborate to reveal that surprise than just tell him I was taking him, so I delved into my craft supplies and wrote him an invitation to the show from "The Phantom" using parchment paper and blood-red India ink with a dip-nib pen to make it look as authentic and ominous as possible, and sealed it with a red wax seal to make it official. I went out and found a distressed-looking book safe, which would act as the delivery service for the letter, to add a little extra panache.

5 Films to Override Your Algorithm
Whether it's a function of spending too much time with my streaming services (very likely), not enough time (highly unlikely), or just poorly engineered equations (no idea how likely), it seems I've tested the limits of every algorithm and broke them. Busted and trampled and burned them so badly that all they do is recommend crap now. Like a tech version of bad karma. So in an attempt to save you from a similar fate, I've concocted a new little formula, developed through countless hours of determined scrolling and committed viewing, that yields at least 5 great films. But first, let me explain the variables.

The Man in the High Castle(2015–2019)- Review
Have you ever wondered what might have been if something in history didn't come to fruition; how the world would be different, how would people be, how different would you be. The Man in the High Castle is a series that does just that. It takes us through the ride through the world where the allies lost the second world war and the world is at the mercy of Nazi Germany and Japan. Based on thenovel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, the story rotates around Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) a woman living in San Francisco, which is on the Japanese side of occupied America called Japanese Pacific States. Initially introduced to the possibility of a better world by her sister, Juliana gets involved in the mission to free this dystopian America; the mission run by someone that goes by the moniker of The Man In the High Castle. Throughout the series, we are acquainted with a dearth of characters on both sides of the divided America among whom is John Smith (Rufus Sewell) one of the most important men in Nazi America, and on the other side of the occupation is Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido (Joel de la Fuente) an officer of the Japanese police, the two are at the heart of the story and pose as the biggest challenge to the Resisting Forces.

Let's talk about these upcoming video game movies (and why they are needed or not)
It has been a universal thing since the ever so nostalgic decade of the 90s, that video game movies are generally.... well.... not very good. Actually, let me be straightforward here. Not a single video game film, before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu, has been able to crack a tomato rating of 60% or over. Things don't look much better on IMDB either. Yet while most of these sites should be taken with a grain of salt compared to the reactions of the average moviegoer or avid gamer. Those reactions haven't exactly been the most positive either. It's practically a historic (almost) trope that video game films are never destined to be good. You cannot make a good video game movie.
