The hit adventure mystery show Gravity falls debuted on Disney channel in 2012 but continued its development and popularity into 2016-2017. Today Gravity Falls still stands as a Disney channel classic for many reasons, including its light hearted and comedic approach, the confusing and intricate adventures they go on and the life lessons they learn. These themes are very similar to one of my previous posts about regular show and it could just be a theme I enjoy. Creator Alex Hirsch nailed this template and the show doesn’t disappoint.

The main characters Dipper and Mabel are siblings who were sent to live with their crazy Grunkle Stan at his mystery Shack in the woods. The town they live in is Gravity Falls and is known for its mysterious activity including monsters and unexplored realms. They find a new challenge every day that leads them on a near death path that is always full of fun and jokes. Mabel acts as the main comic relief with here inncoent perspective as a young kid and Dipper is the genius trying to solve the mystery.

One of my favorite aspects of the show is not knowing what will happen. The show includes adventures and mysterious creatures you could never think of. Alex Hirsch seems to have a never ending supply of new and crazy ways to mix up the show. It also follows a very cool pattern of revealing the secrets to Gravity Falls to only the viewers at times which give us an experience much different than Mabel and Dipper experience.

Lastly, the show incorporates life lessons about trusting your gut, having a good support system and having fun in the little moments. This show is a coming of age story in a way for Dipper and Mabel in just one summer. The two learn to overcome and adapt to problems as a team and its a really cool experience as a viewer.

Get out Movie Review

Background The 2017 film "Get Out" was directed by Jordan Peele and it was his directorial debut. Without getting too into the details just yet I would say for Peele's directorial debut this film was a home run. Starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Willams the duo plays the role of a young couple traversing life as an interracial couple, this lays out the experience of meeting Rose's, played by Williams, family. It was made clear in the film that Chris played by Kaluuya was scared and uncomfortable but Rose ensured him everything would be fine. They got to her house and the vibe felt off from the start. The question of race was in almost every conversation but not in a negative way. They were praising Chris for what they described as "god given ability" or they talked about how his genetic makeup was ideal. This freaked Chris out and he wanted to literally get out. As the film unfolded we find that this family runs an operation that takes the brain of one per...

Swiss Army Man Review

  Swiss Army Man, directed by Daniel Sheinert and Daniel Kwan is a film detailing the life of a man, Hank, stranded on an island who was battling with mental illness. Hank was on the island ready to take his own life but was inspired by a mysterious man who washed ashore. The man played by Daniel Radcliffe was named Manny and was very far from normal. Manny was depicted as a corpse but had powers that made him extremely special and beneficial to Manny who was struggling in the wild. Manny had powers like being able to spit up clean drinking water, fart so powerfully to be used as a jet ski in the water, break logs, start fire, and shoot things out of his mouth. It sounds crazy but the movie runs with the idea so well creating a masterpiece filled with themes of self growth, reliving trauma and finding oneself. Manny and Hank continues to adventure and worked to escape while growing closer every second they were together. The two eventually found civilization and it happened to the ...
