“You have the emotional range of a teaspoon…” Ringing any bells for you? If not, I hope you excuse my bluntness when I ask you, what are you doing here? HARRY POTTER!! Of all the fanbases in the world, I think it is safe to say that Harry Potter is considered a legend. It’s like the great great grandfather of all the other fandoms everywhere. So because I’m feeling more Potter-ish this week (and because school has begun, being yet another reminder of how I NEVER GOT TO GO TO HOGWARTS), I’ve decided to make a list. A list of 12 things to NEVER say to a Harry Potter fan. “They’re just children’s books.” Yeah, and you’re just a muggle, but it’s not like I take time out of my day to tell you that. Muggle. “I haven’t read any of the books.” Yeah, instead you probably spent all that time you could have been reading, eating the filling between oreos and then throwing them at innocent children. “Quidditch is stupid.” Or even worse “Quidditch isn’t a real sport.” Try telling me...

Let us all take a moment in appreciation and awe at how amazing the Marvel and DC franchises both are (mostly for giving us stills and sneak peeks that don’t absolutely suck). Despite my fresh, blooming rage (think flowers, not fire) for the upcoming movie “Pan”, the movies destined for 2016 have me more than excited to fast forward to their release dates (except for Christmas. I’m not missing Christmas). Despite my heavy involvement and passion for the Marvel fanbase, I’ve decided to turn my attention to the DC side of the spectrum. This, obviously, is for one reason. Drum roll please...SUICIDE SQUAD. I’d like the begin with an equation. Viola Davis + Cara Delevingne + Jared Leto + Margot Robbie = a very happy Kimia. For anyone who doesn’t know about this movie or has been living under a rock, here is a short synopsis on what’s going down in this villan filled thriller. A.R.G.U.S. (this super secret government agency) creates a task force with all of the most inten...

*WARNING: POSSIBLE UNPOPULAR OPINION. FEEL FREE TO SPECULATE OR SEND ME A BASKET OF COOKIES. * Peter Pan. What I like to call the best thing that Disney has ever come up with. I have been waiting for a reboot in this amazing story for over 2.5 BILLION YEARS (maybe even longer). So of course when I hear about this new movie “Pan” I’m so absolutely excited that it looks like someone put two cans of Red Bull in my double shot espresso. Of course based on my ecstatic description, anyone (even if they live in Antarctica) could tell that I’m counting down the days until the trailer release, then the movie. I was originally planning on standing in line, fully dressed like Wendy Darling for 72 hours just to see the movie. After all, Hugh Jackman and Amanda Seyfried always equals party (Two words. Les Mis). Let me tell you how the world’s first tsunami of tears began. Little did I know Peter was going to be a child. Yes, I know he’s never supposed to grow up. But for all of the teena...
