‘A Star Is Born’ is a predictable, but emotional film destined for Oscars galore

 Even if the story doesn’t bring anything new to the table, 'A Star Is  Born' is still a solid execution of a tried and true story. Much of the  thanks has to go to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, whose chemistry was  gold. Their solo performances also deserve to win gold, Oscars, that is.  This may just be remembered as one of the high points of Lady Gaga’s  career. She finally got the chance to prove herself as an actor on the  silver screen, have her name in the same group as icons such as Garland  and Streisand, and release a song (“I Will Never Love Again”) that is  bound to become a classic power ballad along the lines of “I Will Always  Love You” and “My Heart Will Go On”. It’s a wonderful start for what  could be an illustrious career in film, and solid proof that Lady Gaga  will most likely go down as one of most memorable, beloved artists of  this decade.

‘Venom’ is a beautiful, lovable parasite

 ‘Venom’ is a must-see with all of its dark, gorgeous combat scenes. Tom  Hardy makes Eddie Brock lovable and memorable, and Venom himself adds to  the movie’s dark factor. It is fast-paced, which makes it enjoyable,  but also hurts the movie in a few ways. Despite that, even without  Spider-Man included, ‘Venom’ makes a beautiful movie worth watching.

REVIEW: ‘God Friended Me’ Season 1, Episode 2: “The Good Samaritan”

 ‘God Friended Me’ continues to have interesting ideas and brings in a  refreshing message with “A Good Samaritan”, but it’s all tied to an  average TV show. Respecting others is the message of this episode, and  it actually listens to its own message and shows respect for all parties  involved. Its depiction of autism deserves major props as well.  However, bad writing, bad pacing, and some odd cinematography make the  show a struggle to sit through. If those issues continue to plague the  show, its sermons will stay left unheard.
