'Avengers: Infinity War'
Smile.For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos. Me and superheroes. We have a kind of love-hate relationship. One moment I'm really enjoying the character or the story. At that time jealousy bubbles up and I wished I had those specific powers in my daily life. And sometimes I have absolutely no feelings about the superhero or I find the story not so fascinating. I surely can enjoy a Hulk movie because of the devastating power this superhero possesses. From "Spiderman," I like that youthful enthusiasm that Peter Parker radiates when discovering his new power. And in "The Guardians of the Galaxy," I appreciated the humor. Finally, "Deadpool" and "Ant-man" were refreshing. But when I watched "Thor: Ragnarok," I simply fell asleep. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" I found so terribly confusing. After 20 minutes I no longer understood what it was about. And the whole "X-Men" universe left me indifferent because of the lack of affinity I have with this club. It will be due to my not so great interest in superheroism. And every time, I come to the conclusion that all those superheroes are connected in one way or another, which makes it look like a web of facts and events.

Cinema Trips - 'The Meg'
When The Meg was announced and Jason Statham was cast in the film, the thought of him fighting a prehistoric shark alone was enough to get me interested in the film. Thankfully having seen it, I was glad to find that it was a film that knew exactly what it was, and was completely unapologetic about it.

'The Meg' - Review
We all know everyone loves a good shark movie. However with the king still being Jaws what can we expect from Megladon? Let's start with the fact that "Meg," is, in fact, short for "Megladon," which one hundred million years ago was the biggest sharks in history. This gigantic monster could chow down on even the biggest whales we know today as giants of the sea.

Cinema Trips - 'The Darkest Minds'
The film reviews that I have posted thus far has been films that I have to some degree enjoyed and would recommend to others to varying degrees. This film, and to its credit no matter the various faults is still recognizable as a film, is one I would recommend people to not approach even if you are wearing a hazmat suit with Superman as your protection.

Cinemas Review: 'The Spy Who Dumped Me'
Well to say that this movie met my expectations is an understatement. This movie blew past all my expectations. I definitely expected it to be cheesy and very low by cinemas standards, but it was anything but that. This film was a full blown comedy. It had amazing one liners, and so much comedy that people were rolling in the isles. By the end of the film, my side was hurting from laughing so hard.

Beloved
Beloved by The Scandinavian American Production Company is being performed at The Lion Theater, a small, intimate theater that is perfect for this production. It is a one act, 90 minute show that is a women cast (Elllinor Dilorenzo) who is extraordinary in her role as Katerina, a bored woman who wants more.

Favorite Films: 'In the Mood for Love'
The 2000 film, In the Mood for Love, from esteemed Hong Kong Second Wave director Kar Wai Wong, is one of the most elegant, decorous, modern romance films. With its melancholic undertones and extraordinarily artful cinematography, the Cantonese film moves past what a typical romantic drama covers, and delivers a poignant storyline that contains simplistic beauty in every shot.

'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' Raises the Stakes
What makes the Mission: Impossible films so great is that they up the ante when it comes to the stunts and action but in this film, they do something that makes it better: they up the stakes for the characters.

'Mamma Mia 2': A Fan's Critique
DISCLAIMER: If you have not yet seen Mamma Mia 2 (and don’t want any spoilers), look away now and get down to the nearest cinema. It’s a brilliant film for less mad fans than me.

'Grey's Anatomy'
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode or plan on watching this episode, there will be spoilers. This episode is all about the custody battle between Callie and Arizona. This episode had me on the edge of my seat and I will tell you why. I was torn between Callie and Arizona because of course Callie is the birth mother and had not planned a baby with Arizona, so for Arizona to get sole custody it made me feel a certain way. But then Arizona help raised Sophia as well as adopted her, so she has just as much of a right as Callie.
