Selfless people willing to protect the city, the state or the world is interesting to me....
Bridgerton Season 2 is an adaption of Julia Quinn’s novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me, set to follow the eldest of the siblings, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, in his dutiful search for a wife. For the most part, the Netflix adaptation gets plenty right, first and foremost being its casting of Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma (Sheffield in the books). The changes in the character’s ethnicity work exceptionally well as they not only add South Asian representation, but do so with a multi-faced heroine whose journey many could relate to....

Tim Burton’s creative juices run dry in a decidedly boring and bland interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Even Burton’s muse, the usually awesome John Depp, dials in a retread of his Willy Wonka character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The plot is basically a blase guide to female empowerment. Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is all grown up and feeling the shackles of 19th century British society. She’s supposed to accept a marriage proposal at an outdoor engagement party, but ends up chasing a white rabbit instead....

The Good While I was a big fan of the movie when it played in the theater, it was very interesting getting to see the film how the director intended it be shown. The Bad Sadly, with so much information packed into these DVDs, iconic figures like the Alien and the Predator lose some of their mystique. Though I am still unclear about the specifics, essentially human beings have stumbled on to a Predator ritual whereby they have to defeat Aliens in order to be seen as full fledged warriors by the other Predators....

Given that the film already had undergone primary production and had taken substantial investment, the cancellation has drawn mixed responses from the fans....
Cars have personality. Getting behind the wheel invokes a sense of freedom, to take any turn one wishes to make, to go anywhere one wants to go. The construction of a vehicle for movies is an art that is seldom thought of. Model after model, a factory line of duplicate cars is made, and they are damaged for just a few minutes. Fast & Furious is a franchise guilty of turning street racing into a stylized demolition derby The precious eye candy celebrates the physical feat of customized vehicles....
