Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I don’t know what I thought this was, what it could be, or what I was thinking, but I watched the first episode. Leaving me with the general feelings I watch when it comes to NBC programming. Who in the hell watched this and said, “Let’s put it on the schedule.”

Introduction After an extended wait to find a subbed version, I finally have found access to Chaos Dragon – Sekiryuu Seneki. Which, at first, I must say didn’t feel like it was worth the wait.

Overview A 2-hour film which doesn’t have enough action to keep you in awe, doesn’t have a good enough romantic plot to make you envious, and overall it makes you question why does Benicio Del Toro love long movies which go at such a slow pace? Trigger Warning(s): Dead body of a Child Review (with…

Overview Like so many kids who were born in the 90s, many of my arguments dealt with which was better and often it would be one cartoon vs. another. For me, I was a devoted Digimon fan up until the 3rd season in which I had to tap out since the quality faded. However, now…

Overview Within the superhero franchise, one thing is almost always done: An origin story. Often both the heroes, and the villains they usually had a hand in creating, are given a chance to show they were normal once, just everyday people, but then they had one bad day. So comes The Killing Joke in which…
Overview In what seems like a Justin Bieber fan-fic, you surprisingly get a cute little love story.
