‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’ is an epic journey from start to finish

 ‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’ is an epic and fun follow up to 'Origins.'  While it suffers from a slow start and a dependence on grinding, it  excels with fantastic characters, beautiful visuals, and brilliant,  redefined gameplay, especially in its combat. It marks another success  in the 'Assassin’s Creed' franchise.  


On ‘In Our Wake’, Atreyu teaches you how to make a generic metal album

 ‘In Our Wake’ is a disappointing album filled with generic riffs and  choruses. Every song sounds the same due to a three-minute slog song  structure that creates only a boring listen. If you are looking for more  metal music to listen to that changes the genre and pushes the  boundaries, then this isn’t it. All this album makes me want to do is go  back and listen to their old songs like ‘Becoming the Bull’ and  ‘Ravenous’. What Atreyu did with this album just isn’t enough. 


Heartland Film Festival: ‘Weed the People’ makes an emotional, compelling case for legal cannabis

 'Weed the People' is a well researched documentary that is very well  made and heartfelt. All of the children and their families shown in the  film perfectly emphasize the film's stance and bring a human component  to the controversial subject of legal cannabis. The film succeeds in  making a compelling case while also calling viewers to action in a  non-manipulative way.

'Eva' is an amazing film for the people unfamiliar with Eva Mozes Kor’s life story. The storytelling is balanced, heartfelt, and the breadth of interviewees is staggering. Though the editing can make the film’s pacing feel a bit slow, this documentary communicates its message with finesse. Eva Kor is an astounding person with an outlook on life that is expertly conveyed through this film about her life.
