7 Phenomenal Black Authors To Read
Authors create worlds known or not that allow you as the reader to be consumed by every word. Or the good ones do at least and if you say there are no good writers, profound even in the present then you clearly haven't read in a long time. However, new or old all their words provide insight and wisdom. This month is dedicated to that very concept.

10 Movies with Memorable Magic Elements
1. The Wizard of Oz (1939) Based on L. Frank Baum's fantastical novel, Victor Fleming's "The Wizard of Oz" is about a young lady, Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), whose life either becomes full of magic (or she suffers a head injury and hallucinates wildly). Living with her Aunt Em (Clara Blandick) and Uncle Henry (Charley Grapewin) on a farm, Dorothy seems to lead an alright life, though she does have fantasies about getting away, demonstrated in song form. The escapist aspirations are made more serious after a grouchy woman, Almira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton), threatens to have Dorothy's rebellious pet dog Toto destroyed!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
It’s hard to believe that The Rocky Horror Picture Show wasn’t an instant hit, when it was first released in cinemas in 1975. Considering its cult classic status now, it wasn’t met with a great response initially. The film was certainly ahead of its time. What with aliens cross-dressing, pre-marital sex, gay relationships, and a man in fishnets, who has made everyone question their sexuality at some point.

Thanos Tried To Be A Hero
The MCU has had many great villains throughout its existence. Killmonger, Hela, Ultron, all of them were villains that captured our attention with ease. However, there is no greater villain than the Big Bad himself, Thanos. One could even argue that he is up there with Darth Vader and Voldemort for greatest movie villains of all time. The thing is as good of a bad guy as he was, it has been pointed out that his long list of horrible actions might have been carried out with the greater good in mind. Now that The Eternals has come and gone from theaters, we have been given further evidence to support this argument. Sure he may have snapped half of all life in the universe out of existence but was it all in the name of saving all life in the universe. Imagine that, one of the greatest movie villains of all time was trying to be a hero.

The 20 Greatest Best Picture Winners of All-Time
In view of the upcoming 94th Academy Awards, I decided to compile a small list. Having officially watched every single film to take home the prestigious Best Picture award, here is what I deemed were the 20 best to ever win it. (I limited it to presenting my top 20 since to say a word on all 93 films would prove tedious, and I also opted not to include Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans which would assuredly have been in my top 5).

The Complete History of St. Olaf, Minnesota (according to Rose Nylund)
St. Olaf Township, Minnesota, USA, is a real and, I'm sure, lovely place - but it's most famous for being the fictional hometown of Golden Girls' Rose Nylund, played by the incomparable Betty White - whose nonsensical tales of her backwards Norwegian-American homestead provided at least some explanation for how she grew up so adorably dim.
