Critique: Legally Blonde
Legally Blonde is the distillation of pure joy in my mind. When I am sad, I watch Legally Blonde and my mood immediately shifts. It is impossible to be sad watching Elle Woods in Legally Blonde as she pluckily shows the world the kind of kindness and resilience we need.

50 Critics: Krush Groove
When capturing the purest spirit of what Hip Hop is all about, especially when it first began the film Krush Groove is a great place to start. The film is an amazing semi-autobiographical depiction of the rise of Hip Hop’s legendary record label Def Jam and its creator Russell Simmons.

50 Critics: Sister Act
In 1992 comedy queen Whoopi Goldberg once again showed off her leading lady chop in the comedy classic Sister Act. Goldberg and her co-stars do a great job at keeping audiences hooked in this habit-donning adventure about a showgirl in witness protection at a convent hiding from her violent boyfriend.

50 Critics: Justice League
The Justice League film from DC comics is one of the biggest examples of improperly exercised potential. Some of the film’s biggest problems are we don’t know most of its main characters and the film has a villain who doesn’t pose much of a believable threat to the film’s protagonist.

Warrior Nun is for everyone that has ever questioned their life’s purpose. Set in the world of demons, lemon drops and free-willing ass-kicking nuns, the show is a call to action for us all. Ask the questions. Live in the moment. Love out loud. Ask for help. Accept your beauty.

Paul - Critique
Wildly underrated film. Funny, very quotable, great soundtrack. Pegg and Frost are PERFECT together in this. Jason Bateman's great as well, and Sigourney Weaver puts in an appearance. You'll learn how to cuss like a pro. Should have been in the Cornetto trilogy instead of The World's End.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A nineties cult classic that has grown old gracefully, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still reigns as one of television’s most influential feminist turning points. Its moral compass and deep-rooted coming-of-age character development remain unchallenged, even amongst the vampires, daemons, and forces of darkness. Into every generation, a masterpiece is born.

Divergent Movie
Divergent movie was poorly executed but I have to say intrigued me. While author Veronica Roth did not mean Divergent to be about the politically correct term Neurodivergent referring to a mind with autism like traits, it accurately depicts how society punishes people who do not think the same.
