Nir’s Top 20 Favorite Movies

Movies. Movies, movies, movies, movies, MOVIES! Even if you aren’t interested in movies, you can still appreciate the hard work the directors went through making movies. I myself am a fan of them, a lot of them. In fact, I animate because of them! So to celebrate my last article for now, these are my personal Top 20 favorite movies. There will be spoilers, so I’ll mention that if there are any. Just in case you’re interested in watching it, I’ll leave an MPAA rating to show if it’s inappropriate or not. PG is definitely appropriate, PG-13 means you have to be thirteen or older to watch it, and R is inappropriate. So sit back, relax, grab your popcorn and snacks and enjoy the show. #20 (PG-13) SPOILER ALERT!!! Although I’m not really that much of a religious person, the movie Noah is an astounding piece of work. Noah, the…

“Boyhood” Review

WARNING: BOYHOOD IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. IT INCLUDES FOUL LANGUAGE, ABUSE, DRINKING, AND SEXUAL INNUENDOS. THIS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! If there’s one thing I hate, it’s the twenty-first century. Back in the early nineties and early 2000s, media and memes were funny, beautiful, and epic! Now, music’s bland and repetitive; people take selfies, twerk, and talk with text language/slang I don’t understand; the video game industry is filled with FPS (First Person Shooter) games; and it has ruined some great careers. *Cough cough* Charlie Sheen *cough* I like to call this the “Twenty-first Century Syndrome Theory,” but at least there’s still some things in media I consider amazing. In music, there are songs by bands and singers like Michael Jackson, a lot of country singers, and Sonitus Vir. As far as TV goes, the only shows considered gold could be Courage the Cowardly Dog and Gravity Falls. The video game industry…

Top 5 Video Games of 2014

I’m a gamer. I love the style, story, gameplay, and overall charm they bring. Now that there are only two more months left of this year, I’d like to introduce my Top 5 Favorite Games of the Year. The rules I have set for this list are only one per video game franchise or series, and it has to be released in 2014. Also, each game will have its own disclaimer, sharing its genre, just in case it’s one of those violent games. I don’t want any of you buying a game that you’re unhappy with. Also, some of the honorable mentions are violent, so that’s why. Now let’s get on with it, shall we? Genre: ACTION PLATFORMER (i.e. Super Mario Bros. & Sonic the Hedgehog) Sometimes, there’s that one thing that brings back your nostalgia. In the case of video games, there’s Shovel Knight. As far as the story…

2014 Movie Previews

In the New Year, there are many new books, video games, and other media that we’ve been waiting for but, of course, there will also be new movies. I’m going to discuss my opinions on five trailers and rumors of upcoming movies. I’ll start with what the one that does not impress me too much and move on to the movie I look forward to the most. Don’t worry: since these movies have not come out yet, there won’t be any spoilers included! If you are interested in learning more about these movies, I included links for trailers for and footage of the movies. Movie #5: Star Wars Episode VII In case anyone doesn’t know, I am a huge Star Wars fan! Though when I heard that Disney bought Lucasarts, I was depressed. However, at least they might be making a seventh movie to the series. Now that Disney has announced that…
