  • Review: ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’ will shock its spellbound audience (Includes first-hand account)

    There are many types of venues that gather strangers into a single spot, each with their own stories that briefly intersect for this comparatively brief and forgettable period of time. Whether they’re attending for food, lodging, business, entertainment or some combination, the reason for congregating can also be inconsequential and just a matter of necessity or obligation. But occasionally something extraordinary (or extraordinarily horrific) occurs that forever links these people to each other, intertwining their narratives in a manner no one expected when they crossed the threshold. This is what happens when patrons check-in in for Bad Times at the El Royale.

  • Review: ‘The Martian’ is not just realistic from NASA’s perspective (Includes first-hand account)

    Space has truly become the next frontier of movies. However it’s no longer the comedic fantasy dramas that dominated the genre previously. Now filmmakers are utilizing technology to create credible narratives with a basis in real science. It seems every year now film-going audiences are treated to a larger-than-life portrayal of the universe that boasts unparalleled visuals and excellent writing. Director Ridley Scott returns to the depths of space and science fiction for his latest tale, The Martian.
