Hello everyone, its Cameron, and welcome to Friday's edition of Blockbusters and Schlock-busters, today's subject? the 2016 Netflix Original Series: Stranger Things created by Matt and Ross Duffer. Image Sourced from IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/ Stranger Things follows groups and individuals in Dawkins, a small American town, after local boy Will Beyers goes missing, and tells the story of their efforts to uncover the mysteries behind Will's disappearance and ultimately bring Will home. Stranger Things was created as an homage to the Schlocky Science Fiction monster mystery movies of the 80s. This is evident through its setting, as well as costume and set design. The atmosphere this creates is very reminiscent of 80s pop-culture and the Sci-Fi horror genre. The performances given by the cast are spot on. They are all engaging and are not too over the top in their portrayal. A special mention must be given to the child actors cast in this se

Hey there! Welcome back to this week's comedy review. First, of all, let me start off by saying that the Ghostbusters of 1984 was a good movie but personally, I liked 2016 one better because of the cast. The movie was not that different from the original but it showed us that woman can be our heroes as well. The characters were very well portrayed by the cast who usually do comedy movies so naturally, this movie was well planned.                            Image sourced from IMDB.   This movie is one of a kind since the cast has done such a good job. It is suitable for any audience. The movie starts off with the storyline of how two scientists wrote a book on the existence of ghosts.
