'Transformers: The Last Knight:' Another Disappointing Installment of the Franchise
You'd think that after the third installment of a film franchise that if the general reception of the film starts to decline that the studio would decide to just leave it at that. But if the franchise is still turning a profit no matter how badly it is received by critics and viewers, why should they stop producing films that are continuing to make the studio millions of dollars?

Welcome to Suburbicon
Sometimes a complicated plot can sustain itself with multiple layers. Layers to a plot are often required to create a more balanced plot structure to play out over the course of a 2 hour run. Suburbicon happened to be one of those films. In the early going it felt simplistic with a minimal story about loss and grief and the weird happenings of a family after a horrible tragedy. We knew it was not going to stay this way and Suburbicon definitely started peeling back the layers when absolutely necessary.

Thor: Ragnarok - Movie Review
Thor: Ragnarok directed by Taika Waititi is the third cinematic solo outing for Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), the Thunder God superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. The film centres upon Thor's cosmic journey through different worlds to prevent Ragnarok, an event of cataclysmic proportions that could spell the end of Thor's home world of Asgard by the actions of Surtur (Clancy Brown), an omnipotent demon as well as Hela (Cate Blanchett), a long lost Asgardian set to conquer and rule. Along with Thor, the movie sees the return of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as the trickster god who as usual gets up to mischief and trickery, Hulk and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who finds himself in another galaxy as a gladiator champion to the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). We also see the debut of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) who is a wayward Asgardian warrior who adopts the "Han Solo"-esque lifestyle of working as a mercenary for the Grandmaster.

I'll Give You a Good Read
In preparation for a long road trip, I gave my mom the daunting task of picking out a book for me to read. She came back from the store with I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, which ended up being the best book I have ever had the privilege to read. The book’s cover features a plain white background with one of the book’s best quotes written in bright, shiny colours, which foreshadows the vivid story that lies in the black and white pages.
