" Two US marshals are sent to a mental institution on an inhospitable island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient. " -  IMDB    This was a Leonardo DiCaprio classic that I've been very excited to experience given it's reputation. Now, the film is quite famous for its major plot twist.... But in Yoda's voice - there is another, and it's not so obvious as it took another person's review for me see it. Scorsese & DiCaprio go well together and this surely applies to this psychological thriller drama. I'd love to talk more, but I really don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it. Please give it a shot!  My Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ "A Chinese family discovers their grandmother has only a short while left to live and decide to keep her in the dark, scheduling a wedding to gather before she dies." -  IMDB Is this actually a thing in Chinese culture? Trying NOT to tell someone they have cancer while they are dying is just ...

Severus Snape is undoubtedly the most controversial character in the Harry Potter franchise. He may have been a hero. Maybe we mix our love of Alan Rickman with our love for the character. But he was still a bully. And he was still a Death Eater. So let's try and deep dive as to what, why, and who Snape is. Childhood Severus Snape grew up to parents who were on some level abusive or neglectful or just unlikeable. That, alone, can F up a kid from the get go. He also was poor and had no friends - attributing to more isolation. Snape's bitterness towards life was developed so early, it's no surprise that a general disdain towards everything and everyone would be ingrained in his personality.  When a person is unhappy in life, it's common for them to project this externally whether it be through their mannerisms, attitude, and/or social interactions. For a child to grow up unhappy, that's literally a whole psychological analysis on it's own. Borderline neglectful pa...

"The group seeks to find and kill Vecna following the opening of rifts throughout Hawkins. As the anniversary of Will Byers' disappearance approaches, the group must unite for a final battle against a new deadly threat." - IMDB   My only complaint for Season 4 was there was too much going on & there wasn't time for certain characters interactions. I got what I wanted Season 5 but the cost was cringey dialogue & lots of cheese. I don't wanna say the writing was bad because the plot was solid, but dialogue was odd. Cheesey & sappy & awkward. But it's the final season so I guess I can let it slide. The stakes were higher Season 5 vs Season 4, but at this point - our squad knows what they're doing. They're Level 20 in their classes. Well oiled machines. They also made use of a lot of plot holes & other developed lore the writers forgot about... So the sense of urgency was not like Season 4.  The shock of Vecna was all used in Season 4 a...
