Mickey 17
Mickey 17 was on the must watch list for last year but time got away from me. We are once again playing catch up before awards season, I promise I will start doing these in a timely manner this year! This was a film we knew we wanted to see. Robert Pattinson is actually an incredible actor who sometimes still gets caught up in Twilight discourse in an attempt to discredit his skills. That combined with it being a Bong Joon Ho movie made it highly anticipated.

Silver Screen Magic with Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo came into this world in 1905. She was born in Sweden and got her start in acting during the silent era, in Swedish films. Seeing her MGM chief Louis B. Mayer requested the actress to come to Hollywood. Garbo arrived and became a romantic leading lady with a beautiful silver screen presence. Mayer was worried about how she would sound on screen when talkies arrived because English was not her first language. However, in her role in the film “Anna Christie,” Garbo proved she could speak very well and it translated wonderfully on the silver screen. She became known for the line “I want to be alone,” portraying a depressed ballerina in the film “Grand Hotel.” Before anyone knew it Garbo actually retired from the silver screen and became a recluse, leaving wonderful memories behind.

The Black Panther is bigger than one man
Author’s Note: Recent online speculation about the future of the Black Panther prompted a widespread debate over recasting, legacy, and respect for Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal. This essay expands on a prediction I shared publicly, arguing that the most faithful continuation of the character lies not in replacement, but in succession–specifically through introducing T’Challa’s son and heir. What follows is an exploration of why the Black Panther has always been a mantle shaped by legacy rather than a role defined by a single man.

Sherlocks
Introduction - Why Am I Writing About Sherlocks? Image from Adapt or Perish Podcast I was watching the recent BBC take on Sherlock (I say recent the first episode was in 2010 so twelve years ago, there are probably kids who have seen it who weren’t born when it first started - although they shouldn’t have seen it) and then I thought “Who are the actors who have played a decent Sherlock Holmes?”.

KPop Demon Hunters
Okay so I’ve been hearing about nothing but KPop Demon Hunters since it came out. The kids I teach loved it, my cousin loved it, my roommate loved it. So I knew that it would at the very least get some popularity nominations so I knew I had to watch it.
