Review of 'Brightly Burning'
Stella Ainsley leaves poverty behind when she quits her engineering job aboard the Stalwart to become a governess on a private ship. On the Rochester, there’s no water ration, more books than one person could devour in a lifetime, and an AI who seems more friend than robot. But something sinister lurks beneath the Rochester’s immaculate façade. When Stella meets Hugo, the nineteen-year-old captain at the helm of the ship, she finds herself drawn to the mysterious boy who’s as unpredictable and broody as he is kind. But Stella’s suspicions against Hugo mount as the ship is plagued by ghostly hauntings and deadly assassination attempts. Now, she must choose between following her heart or listening to her head.

The purple heart symbol holds deep meaning, representing a blend of emotions such as love, support, respect, and compassion. It is also a prestigious medal awarded to American soldiers who have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty. Purple Hearts, a romantic musical drama, beautifully weaves together these emotions into a powerful narrative. Set in Oceanside, California, the film introduces us to Cassie Salazar (Sofia Carson), a talented singer-songwriter of Spanish origin who navigates multiple jobs to make ends meet. Her struggles intensify when she discovers that her medical insurance no longer covers her medication for Type 1 diabetes. Along her journey, Cassie encounters Luke Morrow (Nicholas Galitzine), a former Marine tormented by debt and a desire to reconcile with his father. United by financial desperation, the duo decides to enter a marriage of convenience, seeking mutual military benefits. Little do they know that their union will lead them on a profound exploration of love, life, and the depths of human connection.

MySecret_PicksPublished 9 months ago in GeeksWhat's Best For You: I Care a Lot and Take Care of Maya
I didn't expect to come back on this platform following my three-year writing hiatus. However, two films on Netflix that I have watched recently have pushed me back into the writing world. Needless to say, I am grateful for them doing so because then I would not have had the opportunity to discuss the exploitation that institutions and the system put their people through.

Viktor SelinPublished 9 months ago in GeeksThe Stand (2020) Episode 3 Review
I know these reviews may seem like a broken record at this point but it has to be said again: I really don’t like the direction the creators decided to go with for Stephen King’s The Stand (2020). Episode Three, titled “Blank Page”, continues the non-linear storytelling that was used in the previous two episodes. The first focus for this episode is the character of Nadine Cross, the erstwhile bride-to-be of Randall Flagg. We also get further flashbacks of the journeys for Harold Lauder and Fran Goldsmith, specifically the time period where they met Stu Redman. We’re also given our first dip into the backstory of Nick Andros, one of the key figures in the Boulder Free Zone.
Nicholas KingPublished 9 months ago in GeeksEmbracing Regrets, Bidding an Emotional Farewell
Without a doubt, this will be a "turnaround" for DC, as netizens are mentioning one term in abundance: exceeding expectations. I still remember watching Jay Oliva's 2013 animated "Flashpoint Paradox" ten years ago, and my comment at the time was, "I hope a live-action film can capture this story; I'll be completely satisfied."
TechHackerPublished 9 months ago in GeeksRewatching Twilight
So it has been almost exactly 2 years since I've rewatched all the Twilight movies and they have seemed to make a resurgence on tiktok so I thought I’d join the fun. Now I would like to state that I read the books so much in middle school that my copy of New Moon fell apart at the binding. I also watched the midnight premiere of every single movie so as I document my experience rewatching these movies I don’t want to hear shit about how I’m not a real fan or whatever. I have the nostalgia attached to these films and guess what guys? They are still not good. Again, because I have said this so many times, you are allowed to like, love, enjoy anything you want but let's be honest with ourselves. Reality states that these movies are bad, and that’s okay. So here we go rewatching Twilight.

Helmed by skilled stunt professionals, action cinema has been on an upward trend for some time. In recent years, the genre has seen many impressive sequels that up the ante in every respect. Extraction 2 from Sam Hargrave and Netflix is firmly committed to the major set pieces, but you’ll find that other elements are lacking.
