At the beginning of this decade, many horror movies have made waves in pop culture and the horror genre. This year, the film “Late Night With The Devil” brings something a little different to this genre.
The second season of “Invincible” is the highly anticipated continuation of Amazon Prime’s popular animated superhero show. Based on the long-running comic book series created in 2003 by Robert Kirkman, the show’s second season drives viewers deeper into the convoluted and turbulent life of Mark Grayson, aka Invincible (Steven Yeun), as he learns to cope with the emotional and physical wounds he sustained after his confrontation with his supervillain father, Omni Man (J.K. Simmons) at the end of the first season.
Successful suspense thriller writer and director Alexander Garland has released his fourth film “Civil War”.

California and Texas have formed an alliance called the Western Forces. They have one goal, kill the president and anyone that gets in their way.
On March 8, Amazon Prime released a modern twist on the 80’s cult classic film “Road House.” The action-packed thriller featured Jake Gyllenhaal and UFC legend Conor McGregor as they added new life to a critically acclaimed fan-favorite.

Released on Netflix in November, animated movie “Leo” follows the tale of a geriatric iguana in a school classroom. The film itself still stands as a surprising sleeper when it comes to meaningful and memorable movies.
Previous collaborators MGK and Trippie Redd teamed up again to release their first collaboration project last Friday, an album titled “genre : sadboy.” While they attempt to explore the realm of emotion and depression, their apathetic take on the emo rap genre leaves listeners with a pretty bland and uninspired experience.
Country singer and songwriter legend Kenny Chesney released his 19th studio album “Born” on March 22nd. The release comes just in time as Chesney prepares to go on his Sun Goes Down tour that begins April 11th in Hollywood.
Netflix’s ambitious venture into live action-adaptation with Avatar: The Last Airbender has been met with high expectations from fans of Nickelodeon’s beloved 2005 animated series. Despite the potential for a modern take on the fan-favorite franchise, and far from the disaster that was M. Night Shyamalan’s poorly received 2010 movie, Netflix’s reimagination of the series, led by Albert Kim as showrunner and writer, may leave die-hard fans wishing Netflix had left Nickelodeon’s show alone, as it fails to capture the magic that made the original a timeless classic.
Human beings are often well-intentioned, but wildly imperfect. People are constantly trying to do what is right yet slipping up, trying to please the people in their lives yet letting them down, constantly making mistakes and apologizing, all while judging everyone else for doing the same thing.
