Welcome to the Tea Table!

Would you like cream or sugar? Or do you prefer lemon? This is the tea table, a tinny desk with a computer, a printer, and what little free space is left covered in pens, loose papers, and sticky notes. But in one little corner is a cup of fresh tea, with sugar and milk added. It's how I take my tea since I can remember, a preference I inherited from my grandmother. I've been writing since the 6th grade and now I figured someone should see my work. So if you are reading this, thanks! I need this blog for school but if I can use it to showcase my other work then by all means, this is going to be a wild ride. I hope you're ready because the kettle is still hot and there are plenty of tea cups.

Thor: Ragnarok Movie Review

There are times when you feel like you didn’t see something eye to eye with someone else. It all happens to us. But this time it was me against the vast majority of the audiences who saw Thor: Ragnarok. Now before the torches and pitchforks go flying, I did not hate this movie. Marvel has done a pretty good job so far (at least in the Cinematic Universe) of not having one bad movie that has been either a) a commercial flop or b) narratively a piece of garbage or c) both. Ragnarok to me was a thrill ride while watching it, but once I got off the ride, waited for my stomach to settle, and thought about it, it just wasn’t quite there for me. Some aspects are great but the rest of it is just meh. In the rankings I would put it slightly above Iron Man 2, and I liked Iron Man 2 better than most people. I’m not going to do my usually PROS, CONS, etc., because in order to really do that would be to go heavily into spoiler territory for not just this movie but for several Marvel movies bef...

Apocalypse…Now?

*Heavy Spoiler, Read at Your Own Risk!* Don’t let the name fool you; Francis Coppola’s movie has nothing to do with the apocalypse but it can feel like it as it takes place in the heart of the Vietnam conflict. There are explosions left and right, casualties on all sides, bullets flying everywhere and just when you think it’s safe…BAM! There’s a freaking tiger! It’s an ugly gritty film that won numerous awards and accolades (the cinematography I can agree with but everything else is a perspective I can’t get on) so much so that it’s considered one of the greatest films of all time (for some reason). To be a worthy film, it must a make you think and make you feel. While it certainly makes me think, it also makes me want to vomit. To be fair, what I saw was the theatrical version, not the 10 other numerous versions. So let’s get started with the train wreck shall we?  First of all there’s the drug lucid opening. The protagonist Captain Willard is staring up at the ceilin...

The Napping Princess HIFF Movie Review

To describe Napping Princess would be like trying to give a brief description of Japanese pop culture. It’s one of those movies that must be seen in person and requires some thinking. It can be emotional at times and confusing as hell in other parts but it’ll make you laugh and for what it’s worth, it’s full of heart. And that’s a good thing.             Here’s a brief synopsis: Kokone Morikawa has vivid dreams of a fairy tale, elements of which seem to crisscross into the real world. This dreams are so real in fact, they open the movie, confusing both myself and some audience members if I was watching the right movie. Kokone’s father, a brilliant mechanic, is acting more withdrawn than usual and is arrested, accused of stealing technology from a powerful corporation. She sets out on a journey to save him, with her mysterious dreams providing the answers she might need.          ...
