Jurassic World

After about fourteen years, the Jurassic Park universe was rebooted with the movie Jurassic World (2015). The trailers evoked nostalgia and excitement as multiple generations could soon relate to the same franchise. This excitement around the fourth installation, however, only made fans look at the film through rose-tinted lenses. Many people walked out of the movie theaters in awe. I believe that this was due to a combination of the buildup and hype from the trailers, the remix of the classic Jurassic Park theme soundtrack, and the actors in the film. To me, there were some small problems with the story of the film.

One of the issues from the film was the introduction of unnecessary details. For example, in the beginning of the film, as the two brothers were preparing to leave for Isla Nublar, the movie spent some time showing the older brother saying goodbye to his girlfriend and the family hurrying him up so that they can catch the flight. The only time this aspect of the film was revisited was when in the park, the older brother smiles and waves at a group of pretty girls. There was no love story developed. This issue could have been solved easily by just not including it in the movie. The love interest was already satisfied with another relationship, so developing that love interest anyway would have been pointless.

Another issue I had with the movie was the ending of the climactic fight scene. It was a cheesy and predictable way to end it. The genetically engineered Indominus Rex, after fighting the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex for a while, moves towards the edge of the big water tank and is eaten by the massive water dinosaur. It would have made more sense if the dinosaur was finished off either by the Tyrannosaurus Rex or a combined effort with the humans. Instead, the movie was cut short of an intense, climactic ending.
Green Book Solution

Green Book is a film that absolute should NOT have won Best Picture at the 2018 Oscars.

It is an Oscar-bait movie that seemingly tells a moving tale between an African American pianists and his Italian driver. The film plays with the cultural aspects of blacks vs. whites. The movie is supposed to retell a true story of the hardship and racist encounters the pianist experienced while touring. However, the film fails to truly realize that the story centers around the pianist, and instead, tells the story from the white male perspective.

I would change the entire film. I would tell the story of Don Shirley, the black pianist, and not the story of the driver, Vinny. The film does a decent, at best, job of providing character development for Vinny. The character of Don Shirley, however, is hardly furthered as a protagonist. The film focuses on a development of Vinny from a racist hustler to a genuinely caring man. That is not the point of the film. The film is titled "Green Book" because of a literal green book that is supposed to be a "guide" on how to interact with African Americans. A blatant crutch for the film.

I would reverse every aspect of this film starting with the perspective. For a film that is supposedly supposed to tell a tale of racism and the hardships that come with being black in the 1960's, it does a terrible job of actually showing what hardships there were. Instead, we get to see Vinny, portrayed as a "hero", saving Don Shirley from different situations. I would tell the true story from Don's perspective to really bring to light what the movie should have been about.

All the scenes that we see Vinny save Don, I would reverse. I would show Don's experiences and this would bring to light the type of terrible acts done by others unto African Americans.
Dranisis

## Dranisis, God of Dragons

Dranisis(pronounced *DRAN-ih-sis*), the **Lord of the Highest Skies**, is a mysterious deity worshipped only by many dragonborn and dragons who believe that they were all great-great-great-great-great-great (and so on) grandchildren of this ancient god. Some say that he is as old as the Primal Forces; some even claim that he is the secret 6th lord of creation. Due to how ambiguous he is, many clergies among the Dracodia claim that he doesn't even exist.

American Horror Story- Freakshow (S4)

American Horror Story: Season 4, The Plight of Twisty

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck’s highly anticipated 4th season of American Horror Story, “Freakshow”, depicts the journey of the members of a sideshow in the 1940’s in Jupiter, Florida. In the first few episodes of the season, the character Twisty is introduced as a murderous, disturbing, and violent clown. My fix for this season of American Horror Story would be to have Twisty’s character portrayed in a different light.

Before he is taken away to purgatory by Edward Mordrake in the 4th episode, his pitiful backstory is revealed. Twisty started out as a mentally retarded man who could not hold down his job at a toy store because he was scaring customers off with his inability to speak and his overzealous nature. He is fired from the job and eventually attempts to kill himself in an unsuccessful gunshot in his mouth. His face, now ravaged by a gunshot, gives Twisty a truly ugly and terrifying appearance. He begins to kidnap women and children, by murdering anyone else present, and taking them to a hidden place in the forest where he holds them as his circus audience hostages. Although it appears that he is harming them, he really just wants to make them balloon animals and have an audience because that is all he knows.

His character is portrayed for the majority of the show as a mindless, killing machine. The fix would be to better portray Twisty as misunderstood, and innocent at heart. He could have been rescued by Elsa, the ringleader of the sideshow and taken under her wing. Twisty, although a clown, actually was never part of the sideshow in American Horror Story which makes the disappearance of his character in the 4th episode questionable. His character was merely a vector for murder in the plot, when he could have served a greater purpose. Elsa welcomes the different, the odd, and the often misunderstood qualities that make a midget, pinhead, or two headed woman so interesting. Instead of feeling pity or mistrust in Twisty, the viewer would see that he is a good person deep down and just needed someone to guide him. This would have added a nice element of positivity to the otherwise disturbing, suspenseful, and dramatic rest of the series.
Daria

Daria is a cartoon from the 1990's that follows a teenage girl who is unconventionally, unapologetically herself. Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane best friends that share a love of sarcasm, dark humor, deep conversations, and a show called Sick Sad World, in which conspiracies are mostly the topic of discussion. The show does an excellent job of portraying how the students in the public school system feel about every aspect of their lives, and its twisted humor and painful honestly compels it to be relevant today.

However, in the third season, we are introduced to a character by the name of Tom.

Tom is supposed to be Daria's perfect match, as he has read all of the classic books that she loves, appreciates Jane's art, comes equipped with witty and sarcastic remarks to combat Daria's, and despises all that is deemed "shallow" by the creators. Despite all of this, Tom remains to be an extremely boring character who, for the most part, agrees with everything Daria says. When they fight, it feels awkward and forced, as though the creators of this show were aware of how bland Tom really was. Not to mention the mess that was his introduction. Having Tom bounce from Jane to Daria completely messed up the wonderful and refreshing friendship that they shared.

A solution I would propose would be to have Tom move away. It's not the best solution possible, but it made me really sad when Daria fell for all of his scripted remarks. Daria is an intelligent, complicated, dark and funny character, and her relationship with Tom took more away from her than it did add to the story.
Game of Thrones - A Game of Time

Game of Thrones has been a wonderful series that has combined action, adventure, lore, and of course, romance. Although I have not read the books, from what is seen on the internet, it accurately represents the books well too. The story is rich and elaborate, making me whip out a small notepad during the first season so I could make a tree diagram of all the characters and their relation. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/ has also helped me in this very long series as keeping up and making sense of story is very important in such a deep timeline like this show. However, with such a deep story line to follow, the book translation into television created a very long series that is rumored to continue for a very long time if funding is available. This may come to a drawback for some people as the middle seasons were felt to be very slow paced for many people, uneventful for many episodes. In a long series such a this, a slow moving story may be very unappealing to some people if they do not have the time to binge watch entire seasons like I did. In particular, Arya Stark’s story has kept up with the timeline, as she is a very influential character, but has taken up a lot of time with her seemingly similar settings. After the Starks’ separation, we watched Aria’s setting move virtually nowhere between middle seasons as her repetitive journey’s with The Hound stopped when she began her service to the Many-Faced God in Braavos. I believe the Game of Thrones style of addressing each story-line in every episode is what is to blame for this sluggish pace in lore. Aria’s journey to Braavos should have only lasted a few episodes with longer time in each episode if she is that important of a character to the story. Her appearances in other episodes dragged out longer than needed to develop her story. As season 6 is here we start to see the Stark siblings’ story lines finally come back together which will hopefully involve Aria, as her story line is now too long and has taken up too much time to become just another side story.
Blade Runner 2049

This movie is an ode to a classic. Unfortunately it missed the mark due to it's assaulting choice of monochromatic overlays and assaulting jump-scare style sound editing.

Good God this movie was assaulting.

We understand that the idea here was to display a dystopia and we understand that displaying this dystopia in an assaulting way has been attempted in an attempt to transport the viewer into a brave new world where good is bad and wrong is right, but placing a yellow-orange filter over half of the movie doesn't accomplish this. This lazy attempt to create atmosphere is as distracting as it is ineffective. The sudden, loud, and staticy sound bytes that were sprinkled throughout the last half of the movie were physically painful and incredibly distracting. I assume this was intentional and I can see how they might add to the overall high tension atmosphere the director was attempted to evoke, but it was simply too much. There is only so much information that can be processed at once.

Solution: With an "A" cast and high level CGI and cinematographic team it would be no difficult task to use quality acting and dramatic cut-scenes to create the desired level of anxiety. Scenery with 3 dimensional texture and broad angle shots create an overall feel that is far less assaulting than the orange veil that was chosen instead. In addition, simply omitting the auditory assault altogether would have been greatly appreciated. A manufactured consistent soundscape that is subtle would be considerably more effective. To create an overall level of tension and to transport the viewer, subtly and working with the unconscious can be significantly more effective than such a bold, and unimaginative assault on the sense. It seems like some wires got crossed; this movie needs a sound overlay and more abrupt visual stimuli, as opposed to the inverse.
How i met your mother

The comedy television
show How I Met your Mother follows the story of Ted Mosby living in beautiful New
York City while simultaneously dating in order to find the perfect women to
love fall in love with and spend the rest of his life wife. The unique show is narrated
by Ted himself, as he shares the long and passionate story to his two magnificent
teenage children all the leading cause and effects that allow to him to
encounter with their mother. The biggest critique that I have about the show is
the ending of the show itself. In the last episode it is revealed to the television
audience that their mother has been dead for quite a long time and Ted ends up together
with another main character from the show named Robin who he claimed to have “let
go” due to the fact of their failed romantic relationship in the past but did
not happen to stop loving her until the last season. The irony is that the show
follows Ted Mosby for many years as he happens to be dating various women after
dating Robin in hopes to find the perfect women to marry while deep down having
strong feelings for her even after their past due relationship. The audience
saw this constant endless cycle of Ted’s romantic relationships failing and
running back to Robin and it somehow not working out between them two once more
so Ted continues to date. With the show ending with the fact once more with Ted
running back to Robin seemed to have caused a problem with the storyline and with
the audience. It puzzled me why the show had to end once more with Ted running
back to Robin leaving the audience with many open ended questions. A way the
show could of approached this specific ending instead could have been introducing
the mother two seasons before. The show introduced Ted’s “perfect women” on the
last season of the show instead throughout the show. Leaving the perfect women
until the end caused huge suspense in the audience that is why her death was
very frustrating making the show seem as a waste of time. If the creators
wanted to have the mother die they could of lead the audience to that in a
different way. As stated the show should introduce the mother two seasons prior
to its conclusions and slowly introduce the character development between Ted
and her. Next in a couple of episodes reveal how the mother dies but continuing
forward with Ted’s romantic life building huge suspense within the audience
making them question how Ted is going to recover and who will he go after now
that the “perfect women” is gone. Her death would probably be less of a
frustration and could avoid a lot of the aftermath it suffered by keeping that
a huge secret for many years from the audience. Finally in the last season
explain why and how Ted and Robin finally end up together at last so it appears
that Ted deserved a happy ending. The premise of the show was to explain how
Ted meets his perfect mate while in reality the show followed and answered in
explicit detail how Ted and Robin end up together after many years of struggle
and not Ted and his perfect women.

Big Joe
Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again

Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again, opens with Donna Sheridan’s daughter, Sophie, addressing envelopes to her dads for a grand
re-opening of her deceased mother’s hotel re-named Bella Donna. Quickly, we are taken back to the 1970’s to visit young Donna’s university graduation and we are re-introduced to her two Gal-Pals, Rosie and Tanya who do a brilliant job portraying the younger version of their characters that we first met in Mamma Mia. We then follow young Donna on an adventure as she rebels after graduation, traveling abroad and throwing caution to the wind as she encounters Bill, Harry, and Sam.

Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again is a delightful, surprisingly well-done sequel, intertwining many similarities between young Donna and Sophie’s lives. The sequel reveals young Donna’s story that viewers only saw for a moment during Mamma Mia through the reading of her diary.

The only criticism one could find with the sequel is the lack of the Diary! In Mamma Mia the main link the viewer has to young Donna’s carefree, love-for-adventure attitude is through hearing Sophie and her two girlfriends reading the diary and repeatedly stating, “ DOT, DOT, DOT” when reading about Donna’s time with Bill, Harry, and Sam; which lets the viewer feel young Donna’s happy go lucky spirit. Throughout the rest of Mamma Mia, we see grown Donna as a loving mother that is stressed, overworked, and disappointed from missed opportunities.

In the sequel, young Donna is hard to buy. She is full of life, seeks adventure and puts carefree to another level. In order for the viewer to know this is the Donna that we met in Mamma Mia the viewer needs to see young Donna confiding to her diary regarding her promiscuous encounters and using her casual reference of DOT, DOT, DOT, which would provide the last link needed to believe this is our Donna.
Avengers Infinity War Roland

Although this is a little bit outdated and everyone knows about this particular mishap in a film plot line already, I still cant seem to get over the stupid mistake Starlord makes in Avengers: Infinity War. For those who don’t know the mistake that I’m referring to, you’re going to need a little bit of backstory.

 So, Starlord is a bounty hunter and part of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and he is in love with an alien woman named Gamora who is a part of his team on the Guardians. Gamora’s step father is an evil alien who is very powerful named Thanos. Thanos is assembling a gauntlet called the Infinity Gauntlet that requires six different powerful stones to operate it called the infinity stones. Thanos has most of these stones, and with each one he becomes more powerful. In order to get one of these stones, Thanos had to sacrifice the thing he loved most in the world by killing it. So, he threw his step daughter, who was apparently the thing he loved most in the world, off of a cliff in order to retrieve this stone. This is where the real mistake comes in.

 It is very difficult to even get Thanos under control, but there is a moment when about four or five heroes come together and almost defeat Thanos by putting him into a sleep like state. Star-Lord is questioning Thanos in the dream like state and one of the heroes is able to read his mind. She reveals to him that Thanos is mourning, which implies to Star Lord that he has killed Gamora. Even though this would be difficult for him to hear, he decides to punch Thanos, ruining the only chance the Avengers had to actually stop him. His punch effectively did nothing. It was just a device to drive the plot.

Infinity War

The biggest problem that I have with Avengers: Infinity War is that there is the emotional explosion from Peter Quill, or Starlord. The part I am referring to is when the Guardians of the Galaxy , Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange are on Titan, the home planet of the universal tyrant, Thanos. Thanos comes to his planet expecting his companion to have the time stone, one of six infinity stones that control every aspect of the universe. What he did not expect was for them all to be waiting to fight him and after fighting him for a little while they were able to knock him out and try to take the infinity gauntlet, with four of the six stones in it already, off of him. The way that they were able to get Thanos to fall asleep is Mantis’, one of the Guardians, emotion control abilities. While reading his emotions Mantis realizes that he had killed Gamora, and after figuring that out Peter let’s his emotions get the best of him and he hits Thanos waking him up completely ruining their plans. For someone who is supposed to be a guardian of the entire galaxy he does not have a very firm grasp on his emotions. A hero, while having humanity inside them, should be able to see objectively in situations so as to not make them worse. The change that I would make to this movie, knowing that Thanos needs to destroy half of life for the entire universe for the second movie, is that Thanos’ anger and anguish is enough to throw Mantis from her mental trap on him and that is how he is able to take back the gauntlet from Spider-Man. Then after finding out about the death of their companion Gamora the Guardians won’t have the drive to fight Thanos off anymore and without them they lose. At least with that ending Starlord stays in good light as a smart and capable hero.

Ending of Remember Me

DawgLover (talk) 18:24, April 16, 2016 (UTC)Movies are supposed to be where people can run away from reality and escape to imagine the impossible but with Remember Me the viewers are stuck reliving the tragic reality of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Remember Me would have been a number one box office chick flick if the movie had a different ending. The two main characters, a women and a man, meet in a coffee shop and not soon after they fall in love and go on dates and the director makes it feel relatable, happy, and pure. The girl’s father finally approves of the man towards the end of the movie and they were one scene away from a happily ever after when reality kicked the door in. The director ends the movie with the man going to work with the women’s father one last time before they leave New York for California to start their own lives together. When the women woke up she turns on the TV to see breaking news of a terrorist attack in one of the two tallest buildings in New York. It is then that the viewer remembers one of the beginning scenes that the women tells the man her dad works in one of the two tallest buildings. The terrorists had only hit the first building and they were in the second so, she tried to call the man and her dad to get them out and safe. With each call going to voicemail the feeling of helplessness and emotion crawl up your back and consume you in a somber realistic moment some Americans had to face not that many years prior. Instead of this somber ending it should be replaced with a joyful predictable ending filled with love and laughter. Changing the fairytale ending to have the women run in the building and save two helpless men followed by an ending of them driving away in a car filled with boxes and dreams knowing the couple would grow old together.
House M.D. Season 8 Series Finale

David Shore’s high-stakes medical drama, “House M.D.”, can
be admired for the characters’ witty banter with sexual undertones over eight
years of new episodes on air from 2004 to 2012. The frequent comical pranks
between Dr. Gregory House, the Head of Diagnostics at Princeton Plainsboro
Hospital, NJ, and his best friend, oncologist James Wilson, fill fans with
laughter and appreciation for the British comedy great, Hugh Laurie. The
all-star cast does an amazing job advancing a soap-opera-juicy plot while diagnosing
and treating medical mysteries in under forty-five minutes every episode for a
completely enthralling eight seasons. The ending, however, left something to be
desired. Even after avoiding jailtime on more than one occasion with the help
of close friends and braving his reservations about psychotherapy and drug
rehab, Greg House still jumps off the deep end. In the finale, Dr. Robert Chase,
a surgeon who has been under Dr. House’s influence for the longest of any
fellows becomes the next Head of Diagnostics after Dr. House fakes his own
death, throwing his seasons-long character arc to the wind. At the funeral, he
hints to his fellows and colleagues that he has faked his own death, and the
show ends with Dr. House and Dr. Wilson riding off into a valley sunset on
motorcycles. The seventh and eighth season didn’t leave much room for a happy
ending for Dr. House by the end of season eight without rapid drastic character
development in a new direction, which is what happened. Instead, David Shore
could have relieved some of the pressure for Dr. House to be incarcerated and
allowed more time for the audience to appreciate the new fellows’ and Dr. Chase’s
new dynamic with Greg. The ending leaves immense satisfaction in the now-bitter
but still glowingly hilarious and charming Dr. Chase leading the department,
however Charlene Yi’s character is often reminiscent of a less-charming Dr.
Kutner. With more time, Dr. House and Dr. Chase could have hired a third fellow
and transitioned to Dr. House’s retirement with Dr. Wilson, giving his past
fellows closure and improving the audience’s faith in the dynamic of the new
team.
Grey's Anatomy Why Did You Have to do This to Me?

My latest obsession is Grey’s Anatomy.  I just recently finished the series on
Netflix and now I just waiting for the next season to come.  Many people would probably called this show a
“chick” show but I completely disagree!
This show has everything, from love affairs, to tragic deaths, to
hilarious moments.  This show is the full
package. Two of the main characters that I absolutely adore are Meredith and Derek,
also known as McDreamy.   These two from
the very beginning had such a strong connection and were completely in love.
They went through so many tuff times together and still found a way to make it
work. Sorry but spoiler alert!  So when
Derek dies it destroyed me! I couldn’t believe it, these two went through so
much and for him to just pass away was heart breaking!  To make matters worse the only reason that he
died was because the doctors didn’t know what they were doing.  For these two characters to build a life
together and have a family together and just kill him off like that was just
unthinkable to me.  Instead I would have
had him survive but because of the extent of his injuries not be able to fully
recover and go back surgery.   Instead of
going back to surgery, he could become a teacher at a university  and teach the new generation of Nero doctors.  Besides Meredith, surgery was his life and
when that is taken away from him, he will really need to have his family there
for him while he tries to start over again.
It would be a great idea because it can also bring their children more
into the show because they only sow up once in while and they don’t even talk,
we just see them for a few quick minutes.
Love, Simon

*Love, Simon* is an important teenage romantic comedy. It’s funny and heartwarming and tackles important subjects. The main character, Simon, is blackmailed by a classmate, Martin, to try and get together with Simon’s friend, Abby, threatening to leak Simon’s emails with another boy if he doesn’t help. Towards the end of the movie, Simon’s friends discover that he was being blackmailed by the threat of being outed. Rather than being supportive and asking if he was okay, they make the situation about themselves. They ignore that his sexuality was exposed to the world, sweeping his traumatic experience with being blackmailed under a rug. His friends ignore the issues he faced and yell at him for lying to them. Abby and her new boyfriend, Simon’s friend, Nick, are angry at him for keeping them because Simon needed her to like Martin. Leah is upset that he never told her, his best friend, that he was gay. This scene should have been cut and a different scene included. Simon’s friends would go over to his house after his emails were leaked online and help him cope with the situation. He would apologize for trying to keep Abby and Nick apart, but they would say that they understand, that not being comfortable with being out is okay and they could have helped somehow. They would remind him that he could talk to his friends, that they would be there for Simon no matter what. This reminder would have been useful for the targeted audience, as it is a movie aimed toward LGBT+ teenagers. It would show people who are not part of the LGBT+ community the power of their actions and words, and how they can either help or hinder someone going through an experience like this. A scene with his friends helping him would have been very deep and authentic and it would overall make the movie a lot more real.
Dragon Ball Super

Dragon Ball Super is the latest addition to the Dragon Ball Series. The show is creative, adventurous, and light-hearted, perfect for young adults and fans of the previous Dragon Ball shows.

Dragon Ball Super has two major flaws -- being too predictable and regurgitating the same narrative.

Dragon Ball is the first introduction to the Dragon Ball series. Viewers are introduced to the protagonist, the protagonist’s friends, villains, and the overall premise of the show. Main character Goku is a young martial-artist boy who has only the drive to become stronger. He encounters friends and foes alike on his journey.

The second iteration to the series is Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball Z, Goku is an adult with the same goals and motives. Throughout the show, a pattern is established: Goku meets an opponent and cannot defeat the opponent. Goku then trains and discovers a new form, or power up that enables him to defeat his opponent. Then Goku will fight his opponent again and win on a whim. The plot is creatively established and enjoyable for viewers -- given the show’s worldwide popularity.

In Dragon Ball Super, viewers are introduced to a miniscule amount of new faces as compared to the previous iterations. The characters are generally fodder for the protagonist and his friends to defeat, or enemies with insurmountable power.

Goku and his friends push their limits against these new foes, unable to win. However, miraculously, Goku gains new profound power to take the victory over his opponent.

I enjoyed Dragon Ball Super, having been a fan of the Dragon Ball series for over a decade. But looking at the specifics at Dragon Ball Super, I see how cliche the repetitive narrative is. Viewers want something more original -- not just mindless ‘power-ups’ and fights that end in the same result.

What could have been changed? I think that Dragon Ball Super could have delved more into character building for the protagonist and side characters. I felt like I was watching a man who told me his every move and thought. There has been little character development for Goku since the original Dragon Ball in the 80s. I do not believe he is staying true to his character -- but I do think that his character is lazy. Furthermore, the side characters receive little love. In the original Dragon Ball, every side character had relevant motives and personalities. This is thrown away in Dragon Ball Super, focusing solely on Goku and his partner, Vegeta. Bringing back the relevance of every character would help to make the show feel less lazy while still keeping true to the heart of the plot. It would not eliminate the predictability, but would do a great job to compensate for it.
Blacklist

The most exhilarating show up to date is Blacklist. The theme was consistent and the plot within every episode kept the audience on their toes with the dangerous stunts and constant battles between authority figures, there was never a dull moment. The only mishap was the ending of course. Raymond Reddington, the world's most notorious criminal, was on the brink of having his lifelong secret of imposing as Liz's father without her knowledge, being exposed. This created a mess throughout the last episode and caused a lot of turmoil throughout the scenes. The last few scenes consisted of Elizabeth faking a kidnapping with one of Reddington's long lost enemies in order to try to find out the secret that Reddington had been working so hard to keep away from Liz throughout the entirety of the show. It seems as though everyone else within the show knows the secret and any time someone is close to revealing it to her they get killed off by Reddington. The last episode ended with Reddington leaving the scene of the kidnapping thinking that he had his secret safe and Liz did not find out, although Liz revealed his secret before the kidnapping occurred and she is now one step ahead of Reddington. The scene should have taken a different turn and Reddington should have found out about Liz knowing his secret. Without this knowledge, the episodes will continue to be like every other episode and begin to seem repetitive since there is no real change. Reddington knowing that his secret is out with change the way he acts throughout future episodes if released, and will thicken the plot throughout future seasons. If Reddington knew that Liz found out about his secret, would he try and kill her too? Or would he find a way to explain why he was being an imposter and explain what happened the night that her father passed away? There are so many turns that could have made the show much more exciting but the writers chose a less invasive path. Still, an amazing show and I highly recommend none the less.
Cambria Wulff- Moving Images

Most people can agree that the Star Wars movies are legendary films. Episodes 1, 2, and 3 were very crucial because they showed the story of how Anakin Skywalker came to be the notorious Darth Vader. In Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, there are a lot of important actors but it is not clear who the protagonist is. Unlike most of the movies, in The Phantom Menace there is no clear character the audience is supposed to root for or even feels like they can relate to. The characters do not seem like they are actual people but rather emotionless robots. Anakin Skywalker is introduced as a young boy in this film and has little understanding and impact over what happens in the plot. The movie would have been clearer and more interesting if they introduced Anakin when he is older. (SPOILER: Especially since in Episode 2 Anakin and Padme fall in love even though they met when he was like 6 and she was 18… a little weird). Maybe if they focused the film more on Anakin’s character the audience would also have felt more compelled to root for him and been more upset when he turned to the dark side (another SPOILER alert). I believe better character development would have been very good for this movie and the other prequels too. Also, Episodes 4, 5, and 6 had such solid dialogue between the characters and it feels like the prequels had none. I think if the movies were to have better character development that would have helped to make stronger dialogue. Another issue was there was too much CG, especially in the battle scenes. If they used more sets and models it would have felt more real and less computer generated. George Lucas should have really spent his time going over the scripts for these movies, especially The Phantom Menace, because it feels like they were too rushed.

Chinatown (1974)

Chinatown is an excellent film with a modern take on the classic noir film. It follows a private investigator in California along his process of solving a divorce case, from which he discovers that much more lies beneath the crumbling marriage. From a noir perspective, Chinatown has everything it needs to be perfect. The characters dig themselves into situations out of suspicion that everything is not as it seems. Tension in every scene keeps the audience stuck to the screen.

However, the plot is unexpected, therefore difficult to follow. There needs to be more context to allow the viewers to be able to follow the plot, and understand why certain points in the plot are significant. Private investigator Jake Gittes begins a divorce investigation by attempting to prove that his client's husband is cheating. Soon after, Gittes is trying to connect the dots between his client's father and a local water war. This is confusing, since the man Gittes is investigating is dead minutes into the film. Viewers are still attempting to put the pieces of the divorce situation together, while the investigator is already scheduling meetings at water companies. Context here would be nice. Not until a second or third time seeing the film will the audience begin to realize that the reason Gittes decides to investigate deeper than the divorce is because he is suspicious of the city's water situation. There are a lot of gaps to fill in throughout the film, and the solution is simple. The film would be much easier to understand, therefore much more interesting, if the role of each character was discussed and their significance made apparent before each page of the investigation turned. Also, there is a lot of historical context left out. The big picture of the film is based on a true water situation in California. The movie seems to assume that the audience is familiar with the reason water is such an important factor for California during this time period, and how much corruption fueled the situation. Instead of hinting historical context with fake newspaper headings and names, the film could include more dialogue from characters that reveals historical accuracy. For example, a quick scene where the man in the barber shop explains the water controversy to the barber, in order to allow the audience to realize the importance of the implied antagonists.
HBO: Game of Thrones

After many years invested into what could have been the greatest show of all time, what a horrible way to end the last season of Game of Thrones. It seemed like everything was rushed and forced into the final season. For a large majority of the series, they spoke about how winter was coming and the White walkers would be the greatest enemy to mankind. Yet, they completely destroy them in one episode. What should have happened was a long and multi battle scenario. Perhaps the White Walkers actually took control of the kingdom and all humans had to retreat, only to devise a plan to take control of the kingdom and this is where Arya could have assassinated The Night King. Further more, one of the most hated characters, Cersei, should have not died by falling bricks. This is someone that everyone wanted to see die a terrible death because of her cruelty and malicious actions. Instead of death by bricks, Daenerys dragon should have incinerated her as the dragon was destroying Kings Landing. Also, speaking of Daenerys destroying King Landing, what a disappointment to have a fan favorite character go insanely evil in the last few episodes. The show should have kept to the idea that Daenerys would not follow the path of her father, The Mad King. She emphasized the entire series that the people would not have anything to fear as she was not like her father and showed mercy to those who deserved it. Yet, they make her turn completely evil at the last second as her dragon approached Kings Landing. They should have kept her character as one for the people, as she fought so hard to be during the series. When approaching Kings Landing, Daenerys should have just focused on killing the queen. That way there would be less bloodshed of innocent lives. It is hard to believe such a character that builds her reputation on being a merciful and kind leader would just flip a switch at the last second and take out such anger for the queen on innocent civilians.
Jack and Jill (2011)

So, for anyone who has seen the movie "Jack and Jill" starring Adam Sandler, then I am sorry you had to sit through that travesty of a movie. The entire movie is bad and there are no redeeming qualities to it whatsoever. It is shocking that it did not ruin the reputation of all of those involved in the movie.

I am sure many are asking, how could you possibly pinpoint a single thing that is wrong with the movie when the whole movie itself is wrong? I agree with any who may think this way. The movie itself is a giant mistake. However, the one biggest question that comes to mind when having the misfortune of reminiscing on this film is this: in the scene where Al Pacino walks into the dunkin donuts store and the employees are start struck by his presence, one of the employees says "Al Pacino!" And Al Pacino says "it's not Al anymore, it's Dunk," then another employee says "Dunk Acnio?" Then Al Pacino and the other employees break off into a dance number promoting a new drink called the Dunkacino. The question I have is, wouldn't Al Pacino's new name be Dunk Pacino? Are we supposed to believe that his name is Alp Acino? It is completely ok in the realm of the movie to have us believe that Al Pacino is named Alp Acino, but in the movie Al Pacino plays himself. No changes to his name. Even in the end credits scene Al Pacino is credited as playing himself. HIS NAME IS AL PACINO THEREFORE HIS NEW NAME SHOULD BE DUNK PACINO! NOT DUNK ACINO!!! Nowhere in the movie does it state that his name is Alp. This simple blunder could have fixed what is regarded as a terrible movie into, perhaps, a modern day classic.
Fixing Dragon Ball Z Kai

Having been a huge fan of Dragon Ball I’ve loved to appreciate the Dragon Ball Z Kai series that is a revised version of the anime series Dragon Ball Z. The thing I really enjoyed about this series is that it features high definition pictures,sound, and special effects. The thing they could have done to actually make this show better however was to not have it aired on Nicktoons because it may have censored a lot of the things in the original series since the main audience was kids, so it had to be appropriate. The original did however have the better sound with music however and Dragon Ball Z Kai should have stuck with the same thing rather then implement some folk like music during its battle scenes which seem so out of place. However I am aware that different regions of the world do use different music and sounds and it may just be preference to some.The dialog on the other hand was exceptional in this tv series however and the voice along with it really made this series worth watching for the most part. A lot of the episodes in Dragon Ball Z Kai however could have been better made. A lot of episodes seem to be very choppy and all over the place and at times it just doesn’t flow right and it completely noticeable to those who have watched the original series. Something that could have been fixed to better improve this series was some of the voice actors for certain anime characters although most were amazing. Some of the voice acting for some of the male characters sounded perhaps to feminine. There are bound to be mistakes when it comes to a revamped version of a tv show, but some important features like colors are not correct and that’s what determines what group some of these characters belong to such as saiyan.
Mary Poppins Return: Fix in a post

The original Mary Poppins is one of the best classics from Disney. The newest one Mary Poppins returns however felt like a remake instead of squeal. The problem is that there was really no logic and it felt boring. It should add dignity and subtlety. It should entertain the inner child in us and also challenge our inner adult. If it were to have something new and challenging it would have been entertaining and interesting. And maybe add a symbolism and meaning to it. For example the important document that was lost should have been a symbolic meaning of how the family lost their mother and how their anxiety over the finances are tied to that. Or something unique like that so they can cope with their loss. The kids and Michael could have focused on missing their mother and trying to bond as a family instead of a wolf kidnapping and bankers that are burning documents.  The kids characters had no identity and personality. They all have the same personalities with the setup of a deceased mother. The oldest could have been more affected by the mother's death having the oldest kid take initiative. The middle kid could have problems with his relationship with the father. The youngest kid simply could have been too dependent on the father. In the beginning of the scene, Georgie is chasing a kite and the music feels a little dark like something scary would happen. If it were to change the music to light and happy it would feel right because Mary Poppins shows up by the end of the kite chasing. All the bank talk was pretty boring, if it were more entertaining during those scenes like having some comedy be thrown in there would have been nice or at least choreography and songs. Something active, instead of 10 to 15 minutes about finances. The scene where Burke and the newsies dancing didn’t feel magical. They could have shots of different fun locations and various effects happening instead of being in one place dancing and singing.  At the end Mary Poppins should have helped the dad and the family a long time ago. The movie needed a spark and momentum. Something new, and logical. It felt like it was recreating the original and it was a poor copy of the original characters.
F is for Family

F is for Family is a TV show on Netflix written and produced by a comedian named Bill Burr. In this show Bill uses fictional characters along with real life experiences from when he grew up as a child in the mid 70s. This TV show is amazing, relatable, and hilarious. However there is one thing I would change about the show. There is no release of tension in the plot line from season to season and the problems the characters face seem predictable and reused from season to season. This is a small issue I see but it does not change the way I feel about the show. This issue can be seen from viewers as repetitive and may turn their attention away from the show. Personally, I would allow for more comedic release and tension release in the plot line, this release would then be followed up with a phase of resolution then ultimately the characters would stumble upon a different issue revolving around a different member of the cast. Each characters endeavors would have unique layering to those issues and they would separately bring a different comedic style and focus to the TV show. With the use of these techniques I believe the show would enter an area with more depth and personality. Viewers would be able to easily connect character relationships and be able to make their own assumptions about those relationships. This in turn would create a sense of connection between the show and the view. This all sounds very easy however, writers spend months on these shows picking them down to every small detail. My critique is a personal opinion and should be taken as one.
