The Monogatari series is huge, both in popularity and in sheer scope (over 100 episodes throughout a bunch of standalone seasons and super-seasons). Whenever I recommend it to someone, the first question they typically ask is something akin to "What genre?" I never kno...
It's a very long title, I know. But these older films were so terrifying that they set precedents for their own respective sub-genres and have aged so gracefully that they can compete against modern titles and usually win. So without further ado, here's four classics t...
October is a time of scary movies and bizarrely sexualized Halloween costumes. The one day of the year that functions as a sort of mini-Halloween is, of course (in Anglophone societies), Friday 13th. But this Friday 13th falls in October, making it a double spooky day...
This is intended to be the first of this October's series focusing on lesser known, but fantastically frightening horror films. None of these will be for the faint of heart, and The Midnight Meat Train, like any film based on Clive Barker's body of work, is certainly g...
First comfy game review. Some of you may be thinking, "How can a game be comfy?" For those of you harboring such thoughts, I can only ask a simple question: If you were sick with the flu or having a bad day, would you rather play Doom or Mario? If you answered the latt...
Stephen King and The Dark Tower series hold a very special place in my heart. The series has an importance to me not dissimilar to how many people feel about Harry Potter. Needless to say, I’ve been wanting a Dark Tower movie for many years. I got hyped when Ron Howard...
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni (In Another World with My Smartphone) and Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku! (God's Blessings on this Wonderful World!) are two anime series with a few things in common, aside from both having preposterously long names that I will hence...
I’m still baffled by the pace that continues to purvey My Hero Academia. At this rate I’ll have to mention this at least once per review. MHA managed to wrap up the rest of the conflict not just with Stain but all of the Noumu. The show expertly gives us moments with c...
My Hero Academia continues to raise the stakes. After two episodes of training we are right back into the action as some of the students from UA begin to fight Stain, while local heroes deal with the attack of 3 Nomu that are ransacking the city.
The Big Sick is a RomCom about a Pakistani-American comedian who struggles with his family's traditions while maintaining a rocky relationship with a woman in a coma. And it is based on a true story.
It's alright, I know you're afraid. The potential for clichés and prea...
Deku continues his training and in typical fashion, we see him pushing himself as hard as he can. We also get another glimpse at his intelligence as he spars with the ultra fast Gran Torino. Gran Torino is so impressed that he even believes Deku could become a real mon...
Deku begins his internship with his new mentor, Gran Torino a consistently baffling old man who teaches Deku lessons while weaving in and out of coherent thought. Whether or not this is a ruse remains unclear, however what does quickly become evident is that he is a fa...
The concept, from the outside, may appear cobbled together and rushed, but a closer examination reveals a deeper, well-conceived plot. After all, Mary is Alice's subconscious, the part of her that raised herself. Her anxiety at the prospect of raising children sparks t...
Mike Tyson Mysteries is a cheaply made attempt to imitate old Hanna Barbara cartoons while claiming it is all done in the name of "parody" for the umpteenth time long after Space Ghost did it when it was a fresh concept. A stale cash-grab that simply dosen't work.
Ever since I caught a glimpse of the costume designs and the terrible looking trailers, I had completely written Power Rangers off as a half-assed superhero cash grab. It could have easily capitalized on the superhero box office and been a terrible film, much like Batm...
