First up...Elite Gourmet EJX600 Compact Small Space-Saving Masticating Slow Juicer! What this does is take whole fruits and veggies into juice. The best thing about it is the forward and reverse functions. Makes the clean-up easy and the juice itself. (James drinks the juice.) Tasty. It also makes great nut and oat-based kinds of milk. We also have something that everyone has been needing; this is The Hamilton Beach Brewstation Dispensing Coffee Maker. Now, this makes up from One to 12 cups, but where is the carafe you may be wondering? Well, it doesn't need it; just place your cup right under the dispenser, and bingo, fresh hot coffee. Then this little creation I like, especially when I want some Ice Cream but just enough for say, two, I give you The DASH My Pint Electric Ice Cream Maker Machine. It's perfect for making a small amount of Ice Cream without having to pay high prices at a supermarket. Just make sure the core is ice cold, have your mix nice and chilled, fill the device, and in minutes, you have Ice Cream, Sorbets, and Gelatos in no time flat. And I actually like this cookbook, and wouldn't you know, it's based on one of my favorite movie franchises. I give you The Back to the Future: The Official Hill Valley Cookbook. What I like about this is how its recipes are dated! Literally. There are recipes from 1985, 1955, 2015, the Alternate 1985, and 1885! Now here are some unique recipes for "Uncle Joey's Parole Cake," "The Essex Theater Lime Rickey," "Mr. Fusion's Banana Fueled Protein Bowl," "Biff's Banana Foster," and then "Emmet Brown's Sarsparilla and Pear Mocktail." You can find these in the links in the sentences, and allow me to share with you some great movies from the most well-known collection sites. (Cut to James looking at the Criterion website and other film collection sites as James does a voiceover.)

You're possibly wondering what's up with the equipment. Well, I've had a new family member join us. This is baby Kinsleigh! And with her parents in my family, I've taken on some ideas. For example...(Cut to the bathroom) I've installed toilet locks throughout all of the toilets in the building first. (Cut to the cabinets all over the building) Second, I have put these magnetic locks on all the cabinets and drawers; third, I put this lock for the oven doors and these little things that keep the oven locked into getting moved out. And I put some dollar store pool noodles for those hard corners and sharp corners. Besides, she might like the colors. And guess what? We haven't even begun to talk about stuff for the newest members of my family. Starting off with the Fisher-Price Baby's First Blocks, it's very nice and simple; even Kinsleigh could figure it out quickly, and she did! Next up are some Kids' Musical Instruments. We got a tambourine, Jingling Bell straps, maracas, and a Xylophone. (James and Kinsleigh play some notes on the Xylophone, and James gets bopped in the head, which makes Kinsleigh laugh.) Well, this one is a Build-A-Bear exclusive that I am particularly fond of seeing Kinsleigh or her Aunt Viv getting. The Gremlins Gizmo Plush, It's a limitedly available toy from Build-A-Bear, and it is worth it to hear Gizmo singing! (The Gizmo plush singing and coos, making Kinsleigh smile.) While I enjoy these moments with Kinsleigh, let me show you some recommendations for some great Christmas Capers. (Cut to clips of "Reindeer Games," "Bad Santa," "The Ref," & "The Silent Partner" as James does a voiceover.)

Well, I think they have set a benchmark for movie making, but after "Endgame," I've noticed more people finding and coming up with more problems and criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They'll keep making these movies as long as it makes money. How I think that will help new filmmakers is that it will give them the inspiration to try and do better because nothing lasts forever.

Joseph Poon:
I'm pretty cynical because movie posters were movie posters that were drawn to form movies, and now we've had all these things happen where we can't tell what's a real movie poster and what isn't, and while YouTube and Google are making people visually illiterate and believing what they first see. But yeah, I think we've become so used to seeing what is there at first glance we're not giving ourselves a chance to think and wonder where else we need to find out information for movies.

AI Technology artwork disgruntles people as much as people try to do Struzhan. They're afraid that people might do better than Struzhan and that there will be a lack of originality in the future. Though I don't think there will be a digital version of Struzhan, we may find posters and artists trying to emulate Struzhan's work.

And as I see my fellow students roaming these hallowed halls of this university. I see the seeds of greatness in them as I see it in myself. Maybe the educational route will eventually lead me to the evolutionary state where I will be among the highest echelon of others in my field. And maybe I am with the next Struzhan, Spielberg, or even Kevin Smith, for that matter. I just know the path I lay out here at Sullivan County Community College will lead to success! (James walks out of the College, and the scene jump cuts to James as he is in his office)

I want to thank Joseph Poon and Kenneth Luck for taking a little time out of their busy schedules to answer questions from an Internet Reviewer who just so happens to be a student there. Now onto business at hand with the top five movies of the year. (Cut to the movies James mentions as he does a voiceover)

At Number five, We have "Thor: Love And Thunder" while taking inspiration from the Jane Foster Lady Thor storyline; Gorr the God Butcher is on a quest to find a very powerful McGuffin to vanquish all the gods from the universe. Thor, Jane "Lady Thor" Foster, and King Valkyrie must team up to find the children of New Asgard, Stop Gorr, and Thor himself to try and save Jane from both cancer that's killing her and from Mjolnir! A lot of people found the movie to be too safe. But I actually found myself enjoying it

A lot of people found the movie to be too safe. But I actually found myself enjoying it
At Number four, We have "Sonic The Hedgehog 2" the sequel to the surprise 2020 hit before the pandemic and Covid decimated going to the movies. Jim Carrey returns as Dr. Robotnik and he's bringing with him a echinida named Knuckles and a powerful new source of energy however Sonic still has James Marsden and now he has Miles "Tails" Prower. This was actually entertaining in a way I never expected.
At Number Three, We have "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" growing up I enjoyed Dragon Ball Z, so to see what this movie had in store, I have to admit I liked this movie. Goku and Vegeta are training their abilities as a chaotic force is unleashed as everyone hears about the Dragon Balls and the gang has to stop the guy and one big reason I enjoyed this is that Broly is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch! One of my favorite Power Rangers actors. If for nothing else if you're enjoy either Power Rangers or Dragon Ball, then this movie is for you.
At Number two, we have "Clerks III" Kevin Smith returns to the Quick Stop once again! After a heart attack that should've killed Randal Graves, Randal decides that he has had enough of making fun of movies and decides he's going to make a movie based on his and Dante's misadventures. Without giving too much away, I will say this, the twists and turns that happen, you will not be ready for. By the end you will have gone through not only a tale of a movie maker and what took him to get to his new challenge in life.
And at Number One, We have "Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness" Stephen Strange now has to protect young American Chavez and help her hone her powers as Wanda Maximoff has gone around the bend after going through the events of "Wandavision" and gaining the mystical abilities of the Scarlet Witch and Wanda wants the life she had in "Wandavision" back, even at the cost of the multiverse. We're also introduced to the Marvel version of the Illuminati. Sam Raimi returns to direct this, his first Marvel movie since Spider-Man 3, and it has all his hallmarks including a Bruce Campbell cameo and surprisingly good writing, acting, character development and directing. These movies are the ones I strongly recommend for any fan of cinema you have in your family. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
Before I sign off, I got five books for anyone to check out! And yes, I read books as well. Starting with QUEST SEEKERS: THE WYRMSTONE and it's follow up QUEST SEEKERS: SIRE IN DISTRESS both written by my friend Chris Lee Moore. They're available digitally on Amazon and "Wyrmstone" is available in physical form at Rowdyc.com. They so incredibly well written, it's sword and sorcery with the same type of anarchistic type of humor and heart that shows that Chris has as an amazing gift for writing. Next up is from the boss of Manic Expression, James Daniel Walsh, I give you his take on a classic tale set in the 1970's as a gangster tale that would give Mario Puzo's The Godfather a run for it's money Don Giovanni: A Novel. If you haven't read his work, than by all accounts, check this story out! Next up is for those like me who are fans of The Orville then you have to read The Orville: Sympathy For The Devil. It might just get that series the fourth season we've been looking for. And finally, We have, the story behind one of the first people who actually got me into this business, James Rolfe. He recently wrote his story entitled A Movie Making Nerd. If you know about his story about how he came to this point, then you're going to hear this story how James Rolfe became a filmmaker and The Angry Video Game Nerd.

Speaking of the Angry Video Game Nerd, You need to see what's happening in the lobby.

Yep, and I wouldn't have it any other way. On behalf of everyone at Manic Expression, Team The Last Of The Americans, and every one of us in our industry, We wish you the Merriest Of Christmases, the most joyful of Hannukahs, and the best of Kwanzaa. I'm James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans, and I wish everyone a Happy Holidays! (James, Julia Alexa Miller, The Angry Video Game Nerd, and Vivian Lee Faraci wave and smile as the scene fades to black. It cuts to much later as James looks over something and decides to throw it into the trash, and there's a knock on the door.)

The losses from Chad's ideas ate away at the traveling portion of the budget, which I did not salvage. I also had to pay for the contest Chad came up with back in April, which took a lot out of the budget and only allowed me the bare minimum of people I could have. I tried to get some financial aid to help until I could pay it off by August, but that fell through. I have no choice but to hold off on it until I can get financially more stable, which has to happen on the eve of my tenth year. Let's face it, I am up a creek without a paddle, financially speaking. It would be a miracle for this to happen. So in January, I will tell the team and hope everyone else will be surprised when it happens. (James sighs and sits down) I'm basically no different than Spoony. (Julia Alexa Miller sits down with James)

Julia Alexa Miller:
I talked to Steve about your issues, and he told me about Spoony. You're not him! He wasn't going to do it. We are; it will happen. So I am going to make some adjustments. (Julia Alexa Miller takes what James was working on and fixes it. Julia Alexa Miller shows the sign saying "To Be Continued in "The Last Of The Americans: The Movie" Hopefully") So tell me, what do you think? (James walks to Julia Alexa Miller and morphs back to James Faraci)
