In general, books are better than their film counterparts. Not everyone reads, I know that, and filmmakers know that, so with any luck, you’ll have an adaptation that can stand on its own. A good adaptation will satisfy the book readers (with a minimum of fuss), and excite non-readers as a separate entity. Disney has […]
Ride the trapars and take to the skies once more! The revolutionary mecha anime, Eureka Seven, from studio Bones returns for the first movie in a high-flying trilogy. It all begins with the story that was left untold—the earth-shattering incident where Renton’s father disappeared. With the mysterious pilot Eureka by his side, only Adroc Thurston […]
If nothing else, the internet has shown us in the last month that there are a lot of feelings over Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I’m no different. However, in contemplating my review of this movie, I realized that my thoughts weren’t going to the details of the movie that I loved or hated – […]
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, has made quite the splash. While I was looking forward to seeing the movie, there was a part of me that was also a little worried. I grew up watching the first Jumanji and I didn’t want them to ruin a movie that I absolutely love. Turns out, my fears […]
Knock Your Socks Off It is hard to say anything about the movie that hasn’t already been said, but I’m still going to! Thor Ragnarok was close to the best that Marvel has put out (undoubtedly Avengers is still my favorite). Ragnarok captured everything that is wonderful about what Marvel has done for comic book […]

Past history with live action adaptations of anime or manga titles has been less than stellar. Tokyo Ghoul was also a rather graphic title to move to live action as well. I […]
I am not a very big fan of remakes, and the reason for that is as simple as they come. Honestly, a remake just doesn’t have quite the same magic of the original. If you add in the technology of today, then the remake is full of CGI, and other special effects. It becomes less […]
by Adam J. Smith Like Roland Deschain himself, a calm falls quietly over me as I step forth from the small-screen cinema complex in my local town (alas, not in Mid-World but Kidderminster, Keystone Earth). It’s starting to rain. The clouds look the colour of piss-poor tea. All the things that bind this world have […]
The wizards of Fairy Tail are rumbling back to the big screen in their second full-length feature film! Natsu is known as the one and only fire-breathing Dragon Slayer, but this next adventure will take him to the next level. Luckily, he still has his trusty team by his side: Happy, a flying cat; Gray, […]
How much does your company know about you? How about your coworkers? Is privacy – personal or in the workplace – important? Or even desirable? Do employers have a right to know about your personal life? A right to your medical information to help you prevent costly care that could impact their insurance rates? What […]
