Who Am I and What Are My Articles About?
Who am I? No, that is not a vague reference to the essay writing subplot of the John Hughes classic, The Breakfast Club (the greatest teen movie ever made, my opinion). Nor it is referencing the Jackie Chan movie of the same name. If you are reading my articles, be it intentionally or by happenstance, I believe it’s only fair to properly introduce myself and explain what I’m doing here. So, my fellow cinephiles, my fellow movie buffs, my fellow movie critics and movie producers, let’s all go on a cinematic journey together.

Walls Do Work!
It is nothing less than amazing! If you had to guess what was the top-rated, non-Trump News 24/7/365 network in cable television, most folks would say, "Well, I guess it must be ESPN!" However, for a couple of years now, the "secret sauce" in gaining all important eyeballs for desired demographics (meaning middle-aged, relatively affluent consumers with money to spend!) for advertisers has been a simple, four-letter acronym—that being HGTV! Americans seem to drawn to their formulaic programming, as HGTV consistently rates as the most-watched cable television channel—outside of the pro- and anti-Trump news channels, of course.

Netflix Original Series of one-shot episodes called Love, Death&Robots is a virtual high-five for everyone in the geek culture. 18 episodes that only share the same motifs (unsurprisingly, it`s all about love, death, and robots) can offer everyone what they love. Let us just make some connections between the possible sources of inspiration and the episodes.

The 2019 Box Office at a Glance. Top Story - March 2019.
Another year of movies has come and gone, and 2018 has left quite the impression, surpassing 2016 to become the biggest year for movies at $11.9 billion at the domestic box office, with plenty of surprises to boot. There was Black Panther becoming the highest-grossing superhero movie in North America, Infinity War hitting $2 billion worldwide, a Queen biopic making more money than several tentpole films, a Star Wars movie bombing at the box office, the sixth installment of Mission Impossible dodging sequel rot, and Aquaman quickly rising up the ranks to become the highest grossing movie of the DCEU. All things considered, it's no surprise that 2018 did so well, and looking ahead to 2019, it promises to be bigger and better.

The Coming Redundancy of Streaming Entertainment Services
Many who have actually experienced going to video rental centers such as BlockBuster and can actually be saddened by their downfall, have compared it to the decrease of visitation to public libraries. Being able to hold a copy of whatever you were checking out in your hand, had a certain charm that the conveniences of streaming can't quite live up to. This is why it saddens me further when I say that entertainment streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, aren't going to have those conveniences which made the trade worth it, within the next few years.
