[Review] Bones and All


I never expected to watch a movie centered around cannibals, but here I am. I believe that Taylor Russell and Timothee Chalamet are promising young talents in Hollywood. So naturally, a film starring both of them piqued my interest.

Bones and All is based on the novel Bones & All by Camille DeAngelis and is a coming-of-age story centered around a disenfranchised teenage female cannibal Maren Yearly as she goes on a journey to find her birth mother. 

+Positives

  • The road trip aspect of the film.
  • The film's cinematography.
  • Maren's and Lee's romance showcases being able to connect with someone who understands you and what you're going through on a personal and emotional level. The mentorship between them.
  • The majority of the changes from the book to the film were great.

-Negatives

  • There were moments in the film when the exact passage of time wasn't exactly clear. 

In conclusion, I enjoyed the film and I believe that in the future the film will be considered a cult classic. There's a lot to unpack from the film and gems presented within it as well. 

Honestly, I would recommend this film because I think it has a lot to say. However, if you're squeamish and don't care for gore then this film may not be for you.

[List] My Top 10 Favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes

  Saved by the Bell (1989) Peter Engel Productions//NBC Productions (NBC) I grew up watching reruns of Saved by the Bell, and I decided to list my top 10 favorite episodes from the show. Therefore, there will be no episodes from Good Morning, Miss Bliss. 10. "Drinking and Driving" This particular episode presented an important message in a manner that didn't come across as preachy and it really resonated. The message presented was loud and clear and so were the potential consequences of drinking and driving. 9. "All in the Mall" I enjoyed all of the hijinks that ensued during this episode. Imagine spending the night at the mall to buy some concert tickets.  8. "The Wicked Stepbrother (Part 2)" Eric was a good foil to Zack and gave him the runaround. Also, it was nice that Lisa was able to have her own serious love interest that lasted for more than one episode.  7. "Fourth of July" I enjoyed the overall premise of this episode. For example, t...

[Opinion] In the Future, it's Going to Become Harder to Book Headlining Talent for the Super Bowl

  Pretty much every Super Bowl Sunday there are 4 things people look forward to the actual game, the commercials, the food, and the Super Bowl Half-Time Show. However, going forward it's going to become increasingly difficult for the NFL to book Headlining talent who's never performed at the Super Bowl before, and here's why: The music industry is not producing Popstars or music Superstars anymore. In the Digital Age of Media, everything's become fractured and decentralized. Right now, the music industry veterans are carrying the industry on their backs.  Old or older music is currently outselling the new or newer music that's being released. There are only a handful of musicians left who've never headlined the Super Bowl that could potentially put on a fantastic show worthy of a Football Stadium.

[Self-Help] Journaling

  Greetings! I recognize that with all that's occurring in the world right now it's a stressful and anxiety-inducing time of uncertainty. However, people must practice self-care more than ever and take necessary breaks. One way to do that is through journaling. Journaling your own thoughts, concerns, feelings, or experiences often is a therapeutic way to alleviate stress and negative emotions that you have bottled up inside of yourself. It's not good to allow for these types of emotions to stay within you as they can negatively impact and eat away at you over time.  I found it's best to journal at your own leisure others found that it's best to set aside some time each day for journaling. However, you should do what works best for you.  It's quite simple to get started journaling you don't need to buy a fancy journal; a spiral notebook or even a composition notebook can serve as your journal. Therefore, I encourage you to incorporate journaling into your sel...
