Ratchet and Clank – Review – A Solid Compromise, but We’ve Moved On
I find it a little hard to believe that it’s been fourteen years since the first Ratchet and Clank game appeared as part of the Playstation 2 lineup, but 2002 it was, and the math don’t lie. It’s strange that it took so long to make a movie out of a series that felt so […]
Review: Project Itoh’s The Empire Of Corpses
From the studio that produced Attack on Titan comes a captivating historical action thriller based on a Phillip K. Dick Award winning novel by Project Itoh. In an alternate version of 19th century London, the world has been revolutionized by “corpse reanimation technology” creating armies of undead who serve the living as laborers across the globe. In […]
“The Jungle Book” – Review – Happy Anniversary!
This year marks the 49th anniversary of Walt Disney Pictures’ beloved animated film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, a collection of moral fables originally published in 1894. That was the second such adaptation of Kipling’s book; The first one was produced in 1942, and apart from a competing version released in movie theaters […]
Review: The Boy And The Beast
I think it goes without saying that Mamoru Hosoda’s work is not only emotional but beautiful. Summer Wars and Wolf Children are two of my favorite animated films and for very different reasons. Summer Wars was the humorous fun slice of life type of film, while Wolf Children was the emotional tear jerker. So when […]
Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice – Review – Don’t Believe Everything you Read
One of the rules I try to follow when I’m going to watch a movie for review here is, I avoid other reviews of it, simply because they can skew your opinion of a movie before you see it. As I’ve said before, ultimately you have to watch the movie yourself and make up your […]
Allegiant Lost My Loyalty to Divergent Films – Review
I very quickly read Divergent, the first installment of Veronica Roth’s book series in early 2013. I grabbed the next book, Insurgent, and that one was exciting and interesting as well. But when the third book, Allegiant, came out, it just didn’t do much for me. At that point, the movies had started. Divergent was good. […]
SXSW: “SpaceShip” Falls Short Of Greatness
I am not a professional film critic by any means, but I do know what I like, versus what I don’t. When I read the synopsis of Spaceship (shown yesterday at SXSW), I thought the idea, and concept behind the movie was interesting, but it fell very short of what it could have been. What […]
The Other Side of the Door – Review – Same Story, with a Shine
One of the reasons I will always love movies as a concept is that, no matter how many you’ve seen, they can still surprise you if you let them. You go into a movie thinking you’ve got it’s number from start to finish, and yeah, you devoted cynics, you probably do, generally. But once in […]
Deadpool A Fully Loaded Review
Deadpool has always been one of those characters that I’ve enjoyed, but never paid too much attention to. I knew his story but wouldn’t consider myself an expert on him by any means. Cue my boyfriend, biggest Deadpool freak I’ve ever known, he knows all there is to know about him and has been waiting […]
