Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ is a unique cultural celebration fit for a king

Overall, Black Panther succeeds as an excellent entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It delivers on being an action adventure film, a political statement, and a celebration of African culture. While the film does start off a bit stagnant, the cast’s performances and emotional themes keep the film on the path in becoming an entertaining ride.





What ever happened to Valentine's Day memes?

While Valentines Day may be a gimmicky Hallmark holiday, meme lovers take it and make it their own every year. Using pop culture references as well as other memes, they create poorly edited virtual valentines.


‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ Episode 4: “House By the Lake”

Episode four is fantastic and provides an excellent depiction of aloneness and isolation. Andrew is truly alone in the world and his one chance at love is lost because of his brutality. The violence gives a taste of horror that is familiar from Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story. The flashbacks give a great perspective on David’s childhood and life story. Unfortunately, Andrew’s killing spree is not over.


‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ Season 1, Episode 2: “You Be the Newsman, I’ll Be Liz Taylor”

Overall, this is a clear improvement from episode one. Not only did David Letterman interview more people, the conversations were more unique and unexplored. Clooney’s personality bounces off of Letterman’s wittiness quite well and provides information through entertainment. Furthermore, there were also more current events to provide fresh air over the sheer amount of history.
