Excellent Bits Of Cinema You Aren't Watching

In no particular order, here are a few of the best bits of cinema and entertainment that have flown under the radar of American mainstream entertainment consumption, and in my opinion, are far and away more excellent than what you can find on any major network.


1) What We Do in the Shadows


If you like things that are funny and laughing until your whole body hurts, then watch this. I have watched it countless times, and I still laugh so hard I start crying and my sides hurt for days after. This is perfect for watching after inhaling entire pumpkin buckets of Halloween candy. Take it from someone with experience in that exact scenario.

2) You're The Worst

It's the best, no contest. It's hilarious and brutal and honest and it treats its characters like real people with real problems without annoying sentimentality or overt, preachy life lessons. The third season is halfway finished, but you can catch up through Hulu or other similar entertainment platforms. Be careful, because you will binge watch it in one weekend and then go back and re-watch every episode that made you feel all the feels, and that art history term paper will not write itself.

3) The Secret of Kells


If your tastes run more toward animated films or artful inspirations, this is for you. It is the most visually stunning animated film I've ever seen, and that is not hyperbole. The level of artistry evident in this work is so far above its contemporaries, its unreal. Watch it if you are in the mood for visual inspiration.

4) The Tenth Kingdom


This is a really fun mini-series about a New Yorker girl who gets pulled into a dangerous web of politics in an alternate universe where the Brother's Grimm apparently got the inspiration for their dark fantasy stories.

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
