Tough Guy Babysits…Again: Playing with Fire
'Playing with Fire' was clearly a film made for a kid or tween-ish audience. Keeping that in mind, I thought 'Playing with Fire' was alright, though it did portray some harmful stereotypes.
Game On
Issam has one dream: to become a pro gamer. When his grades start to fail again, his mother has only one solution: she throws his computer in the trash, and his world collapses. What Issam doesn't know is that at that very moment, the real world is about to collapse as well. Malicious AI has taken over the newly opened arcade and brought the gaming world into the real world. Less than a few hours later, the BIVD (Supernatural Intelligence and Security Service) arrives at his door. Issam, along with the top eight gamers in the world, including his idol, Ripvis, must battle through five real-life game levels to defeat the AI. Will they be able to combine their skills and save the world?

What Netflix's “Shadow and Bone” Gets Right and Wrong with the Books’ Diversity
Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
