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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

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. […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
