Lost - Seasons 4-6

"The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island." - IMDB Seasons 1-3 Review here Season 4 I almost forgot how confusing this show gets... and I love it. So, Season premiere. The present becomes the past and the future becomes the present. I’m glad for this change of pace to the nonlinear storytelling. After season 1, for the most part, I felt like I knew what I needed to know about the characters and was getting bored with the parallel back stories. Now it feels more productive as flashbacks are filling in the gaps as we enter a new chapter.   But the Oceanic Six???? Lance Reddick??? Of course, we get more questions than answers and I’m just going with the flow.  After episode 2, I was definitely positive that these so called “rescuers” were Dharma. Good ol’ ghostbuster Miles straight up said “we’re looking for the Ben.” Who essentially destroyed Dharma here on the island. But Dharma may have lost the isl

Disney Films - August Movie Club

It's my birthday and I'm celebrating by talking about some of my favorite Disney films. "Lion prince Simba and his father are targeted by his bitter uncle, who wants to ascend the throne himself." -  IMDB Where do I even begin???? I guess from the first 20 seconds. The sun rises and you her aaaaaaaaaaaaa and you just know Disney peaked here. The Lion King is by far one of the greatest Disney Films of all time. First of all, the aesthetic of this movie just hits. Any fan art or professional art for the Lion King is always stunning. Artists just go all in for Lion King art and I love it. Even at Walt Disney World, looking around Animal Kingdom, Animal kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation, Lion King just makes everything better. I think what really resonates with most people is how mature the story is. It's a bunch of talking animals but the target audience is not specifically kids. You look at past movies like Aristocats or Oliver and company - those are cute family fun
