1917: A Fresh, Fervent Depiction of the Human Condition During ‘The Great War’
Even if you don’t like war movies, 1917 is a cinematographic masterpiece. You’ll appreciate the humanistic approach that the film spends much of its 2 hour run-time, sharing with the audience.

2010s in Film: Breaking Ground in Box Office While Grounding Us
The 2010s– it seemed like forever ago we had sparkling vampires and Leonardo DeCaprio invading peoples’ consciousness. Now, in the late 2010s, we have a misshapen CGI Sonic the Hedgehog, a purple grape fighting an overweight god, and an invasion of terribly, misplaced live action Disney movies.

SKAM: The Teenage-Drama That Will Have You Head Over Heels
“Minute by Minute” might be the three best words to explain why you should be watching SKAM if you’re not already. These words are at the heart of a core, revolutionary, and romantic relationship between Isak and Even in this Norwegian show: SKAM (Norwegian for ‘Shame’).

GOT Review – Underwhelming
Season 8 stuck to the 2010’s tradition of finding your favorite therapist to deal with things. Yet, the finale of Game of Thrones, “The Iron Throne”, was underwhelming and boring. I think this might be the worst episode of a show in a long time, maybe since season 5 for long time fans. I thought…
