The Blu Spot

Today saw the New York Film Critics Circle announce their year end awards, culminating in the group naming Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" as the Best Film of 2017. The film also received Best Actress for Saoirse Ronan. The group had a number of unexpected recipients, including Tiffany Haddish for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Girls Trip" and Sean Baker for Best Director for The Florida Project (beating out several high-profile names like Nolan, Del Toro, McDonag

It seems like we've been waiting forever for the first trailer for "Avengers: Infinity War" (well, at least for an official, non-bootlegged version), but at long last, Disney/Marvel Studios has finally delivered an epic, action-packed look at the film that is sure to have fans sitting on the edges of their seats.

From sprawling crime dramas like “The Sopranos” and “Boardwalk Empire” to massive epics like “Rome” and “Game of Thrones,” they have given us some of the greatest shows ever produced over the last 20 years or so, but they’re not content to let it rest there. For their next daring venture, they have delved not only into the realm of drama once

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is well-known for having some insanely entertaining franchises under its belt, including “Guardians of the Galaxy” (still their best series of films to date) and “Captain America” (which has provided some of the most action-packed films in the entire collection). However, there have also been some series that have somewhat fallen on the wayside, one of which has been the “Thor” films. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed both previous films well-enough
