The pope's exorcist- Movie Review
The film "The Pope's Exorcist" claims to be based on the real-life experiences of the late Father Gabriele Amorth, who served as the head exorcist of the Diocese of Rome for 30 years. The film is backed by the non-profit production arm of the Jesuit research university Loyola Marymount, with Loyola rector Father Edward J. Siebert among its executive producers. However, the film is actually a work of fiction, inspired by Amorth's work, and follows the same demonic-possession horror film formula as "The Exorcist." The film centers on an American teen possessed by an ancient minion of Satan, and a priest called to clear up the mess. While the script adheres to expectations, Russell Crowe's portrayal of Father Amorth brings the right balance of gruff, paternalistic credibility and wry, self-mocking irony to the film. The setting, a murky, rubble-strewn Gothic playground, is splendidly imagined by production designer Alan Gilmore. The film's final showdown between good and evil is hilariously gaudy and features some churchy, borderline-camp pyrotechnics, aided by artfully dank lensing and shrieking ceremonials.

Harry Potter: HBO Rendition
It's been recently announced that a new Harry Potter TV series is in the works, and I'm curious about the reactions from its fandom. These book series and movie adaptations were a huge part of my childhood. I still remember going to the theater with my mom and sisters the day the first movie came out. We had a blast watching it, but I recall even as a child feeling disappointed that the movie didn't cover enough of the book. Which brings me to the question: what should we be expecting this time?

In a world with an incredible amount of superhero movies and action movies there are many badass, heroic men. More impressively there are exactly 25% as many token women. The Token Woman trope is an extensive, and consistent one. Who knows where it started? We don’t know but we do know that the trope is bullshit so of course I have opinions about it.

In the original comics, Zheng Bao Yu, also known as Fah Lo Suee, is the immortal half-sister of Shang Chi, the daughter of Fu Manchu, and the head of her own criminal organization, the Oriental Expenditors, who were a front for the Golden Daggers sect. Under the moniker "Cursed Lotus," she ruled over a narcotics empire that supplied a highly addictive drug known as "Wild Tiger." She's vicious, duplicitous, gaslighting girl boss and honestly, she's still one of my favorite Marvel characters.

We’ve all heard the phrase “everything is derivative of something” well if that’s true then how does a struggling artist present something new? As writers and directors we strive to find new ways to tell the same stories, we analyze and study patterns, tropes, character archetypes and we try and find ways to subvert expectations, that said, we continue to tell the same stories because they are comfortable and people find meaning and safety in familiarity.

Ahamed ThousifPublished about a year ago in GeeksWhy Babylon is Brilliant
Okay so the time for Babylon came and went, the movie released and it went overlooked and underappreciated and then the Oscar’s came and it went overlooked and underappreciated again. But I think there are very specific reasons for both. And both the reason society overlooked Babylon and the reason the academy overlooked Babylon are the reasons why Babylon is brilliant and should be treated as such.
