Game of Thrones: Season 8 Review with Superlatives



You know that feeling of deep satisfaction you get after watching the highly-anticipated final season of a show you've been invested in for a large portion of your life? Because I sure as hell don't. I've delayed the inevitable for long enough, but finally, a review of THE FINAL SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES. In hindsight, I should have at least considered the possibility that I'd be catastrophically disillusioned after watching what ended up being a cluster**** shit show. But honestly, the prospect of THE FINAL SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES being shoddy hadn't even crossed my mind, and I'm kind of disappointed in myself for not seeing this coming. I've been let down numerous times, but not at this scale. I'm an optimistic viewer and that needs to change. Or rather it has, after having seen THE FINAL SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES. 

During the last couple of months, I've been in a stupor of confusion and denial. Confused that the show that couldn't possibly be had the title of Game of Thrones attached to it and denial because I refuse to believe that this was actually it, and having a difficult time accepting that it was, in fact, it.

Movie Reviews: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald



Because I watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a good ten days after it's nation-wide release, I was exposed to a string of articles and videos whose titles implied that the film was not the spectacular film I anticipated it was going to be. As a result, I was a little less excited about what I might see. In hindsight though, if The Last Jedi was any indication, I should have known better than to let them influence my pre-viewing thoughts. But this I was waiting for this movie for two years and I wasn't going to make any judgments until after I saw the movie.

Can you guys believe that the day we've been waiting for for the past two years is fast approaching?! I certainly can't! I've even recently bought a Hogwarts uniform- complete with the robes, Ravenclaw tie, pin, and scarf- to celebrate the momentous occasion. Yes, I will be wearing my …

Good day, everyone! It's been a good minute! I know the trailer has been out for quite a while now, but considering The Crimes of Grindelwald is my most anticipated film of the year, I thought I ought to document my reaction of the extended trailer on the blog. If you've been closely follo…

Movie News: The "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" First Look Discussion

Before we dive into the first look discussion, I want to avert your attention to the post header image for a second. As you can see, the word "trailer" is crossed out and replaced by "first look". Well, that's because I initially thought that the anticipated date of Novembe…

TV Shows: Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episodes 5 & 6: "Eastwatch" and "Beyond The Wall" Review

Keeping up with reviewing this season on an episode by episode basis is harder than I thought it would be. The season's over, but here I am with a post reviewing episodes five and six more than a week after the season finale.
Cersei is pregnant, but I think it's safe to say that she won…

TV Shows: Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episodes 3 & 4: "The Queen's Justice" and "Spoils of War" Review

Considering I haven't posted the review for episode three of season seven yet, I thought I might just merge the two reviews in one post. It's just more efficient that way (and so that Game of Thrones episode reviews are not the only posts you see on the first page of the blog)
The long-awa…

TV Shows: Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episode 2: "Stormborn" Review

Episode synopsis:


























Whoa! Was this episode not crazy? Dan and David have officially adopted the "leave-the-shocking-bits-to-the-end" paradigm. There are two things I learned from this episode. The first is that Daenerys' conquering of the King's Landing and her ruling over the seven…
