Overview In a less twisted than expected first episode, we meet Kaneki and learn about the ghoul epidemic. Trigger Warning(s): Body Mutilation Review (with Spoilers) Every season there is at least one twisted looking anime which comes out. But unlike horror movies from America, twisted animes usually have a good plot and have something to…
Overview Like many a biography, things start off slow, so slow you almost question why are you reading this? Yet, after reading a few memoirs, I already things don’t get good until the origin story ends and the personal struggles begin.
Overview After 9 years the world is invited back into Sin City, and with very little having changed over 9 years, besides who is playing who, it makes for an odd viewing experience. Review (with Spoilers) When Sin City came out back in 2005, it was a major hit. It had a lot of the…
Overview When a man’s ambition leads to the betrayal of a young woman heart, you find yourself within the remixed story of Sleeping Beauty known as Maleficent. Review (with Spoilers) Like a good majority of people, I found the idea of Angelina Jolie as a Disney villain exciting, and Maleficent, without question, fits all the…
Overview With the death of one town’s little angel comes the rise of a demon, one who exposes everyone’s inner most sinful thoughts. Trigger Warning(s): Rape scene Review (with Spoilers) Between the ever versatile Daniel Radcliffe, Juno Temple who is just in the strangest of movies, and even Sabrina Carpenter from Girl Meets World, you…
With Juno Temple, who has been in about three reviews now, and Amanda Seyfried in this film, I put aside my apprehension of watching a biopic about a porn actress and decided to watch this. Low and behold they weren’t the only recognizable faces for Peter Sarsgaard, who I remember solely for Garden State, but also…
Overview Van returns and she takes Earn to a fancy party. A fancy party featuring rich Black people who could provide her some kind of opportunity. Here is hoping she gets one cause bills need to be paid. Review (with Spoilers) I often have, well at least as of late, mixed feelings about this show….
Overview It’s that time of the year where horror themed movies and episodes come out in masse and it isn’t exclusive to TV and movies. Even YouTube. Review (with Spoilers) Thanks to one of the react videos I learned of Starrkeisha and not since Got 2B Real was having regular airings have I found myself…
Overview Once more you are forced to decide who will you align with and can only hope when you make your choice it won’t bite you when all of this is over. Play Through Time 1 Hour and 38 Minutes (Includes Going Back To Main Menu Once To Try and Reverse a Decision)
Overview The Last Five Years is the type of film which doesn’t have broad mainstream appeal, but for those who love Broadway-styled musicals on the big screen, this film is certainly for you. Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview After a bad breakup, a young woman goes to live with her brother in Chicago for a while. Review (with Spoilers) Not since Drinking Buddies (which I’m so mad I don’t have the review to anymore – I really liked the movie) have I seen an Anna Kendrick film and this saddens me in such…
Overview In this zombie comedy, a young man’s girlfriend comes back to life and while she at first seems normal, she degrades into a functional zombie. Review (with Spoilers) I can’t say exactly what is the appeal of Aubrey Plaza, and yet when I see her name attached to something it makes me want to…
Overview A young man, whose best friends are his pets, decides he is going to be socially active and ask out a girl from accounting. Leading to a fun night which goes horribly wrong, and leads to him not making the best decisions from that night on. Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview Pitch Perfect 2 will remind you why you fell in love with the original, and honestly, is probably one of the funniest movies released in 2015 thus far. Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Wetlands will probably be one of the most disgusting movies you may ever see, but also probably the most interesting coming of age tales you may ever see.
Bond once again is back, but with more oversight than ever, can he remain capable of doing what needs to be done to prevent hundreds, if not thousands, of lives from being destroyed? Well, continue on below to find out.
Overview If you want a weird indie film above romance, this one is for you. It features a single man living in a world where you can be arrested for being single, and have 45 days at a location to find someone, or else you become an animal. Which, of course, leads to many either…
In this live-action adaption of the classic tale, CGI is used throughout to help this version stand out.
Overview The complexity of family is played on screen and throughout the film, you watch one do what it takes to be loved, as the other seems almost indifferent at times. Review (with Spoilers) After seeing Blue is the Warmest Color (or Colour) I thought I should look for other films Lea Seydoux did, and…
Overview A story, within a story, within a story, of a young man’s eccentric father figure who taught him everything he knows. Review (with Spoilers) Let it be noted I have only seen Darjeeling Limited and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou when it comes to Wes Anderson’s movies and each one contains this weird…
Combining the romantic chemistry of young adult novels, lack of inhibition, a story which feels like a 600-page book you can’t put down, you get Blue is the Warmest Color.
Overview As the summer of 2014 comes to an end, one last coming of age story is released to top the season off. Review (with Spoilers) After Plush, I must admit the idea of Emily Browning playing the role of a musician wasn’t a horrible idea. Especially since Skins alumni Hannah Murrah and Olly Alexander…
Overview Though a strange movie, it is also one of the most compelling ones that I didn’t go to a theater to see. Review (with Spoilers) People often wonder why actors are paid millions of dollars for movies, and the reason is name recognition. This film I never heard of, but because Shia LaBeouf is…
Overview It’s a romance, it’s a gangster film, it slightly a comedy, all wrapped up in a film which is a tad bit too long, but still very much entertaining. Trigger Warning(s): Implied Rape & Domestic Violence
Overview Imagine a Cinderella/ Rapunzel inspired film in which there are no animal friends, or evil sisters, just a wicked mother, and a prince who helps turn the would-be princess’ life around. Trigger Warning(s): Mental Illness depictions Review (with Spoilers) Despite not reviewing a lot of Evan Rachel Wood productions, I must say that I…
Overview A period drama in which a woman decides between slightly boring but dependable, and a talented, slightly erratic, artist. Trigger Warning(s): Scene of attempted rape Review (with Spoilers) It has been almost a year since I have last seen an Emily Browning movie, and while I could have certainly watched Pompei, I didn’t want…
Strange Magic seems like the type of film that should have been a VOD/ Direct to DVD release but instead was released in theaters.
The draw of Plush is Emily Browning and Dawn Olivieri, from House of Lies. This is despite Emily Browning being more miss than hit with the most recent titles I’ve seen her in, and with me not being very familiar with Olivieri’s work outside her role in House of Lies. Still, a fan is there…
Overview Issa owns up to her end of her and Lawrence’s relationship problems, as Molly finally gets into “The League.” Also, Issa shows she is more than a token at work. Review (with Spoilers) I scream glory, glory hallelujah for while I can usually find a whole bunch of issues with a show to the…
Overview The threat of the hosts changing seems to no longer be the only thing the people of Westworld have to worry about as the threat of the board coming has now turned into a promise. Review (with Spoilers) At this point in the season, I’m just accepting that the hype was not met and…
Overview The young Sean Lockhart aka the famous Brent Corrigan goes from a nobody to one of the most recognizable names in gay porn. But, issues arise once he doesn’t feel like he is being paid what he is worth. Review (with Spoilers) To be honest, I’m kind of unsure why I decided to watch…
Overview As season 1 of Humans comes to an end, there are a few happy endings, some hints as to what the future holds, but nothing big or shocking.
Initial Thoughts With the discovery of who Karen actually is, combined with the majority of the synths reuniting, it leads to the question of what is to come? The goal is for more synths, especially if you ask Niska, but as someone claims themselves as an enemy, and with Hobbs always lurking, could our favorite…
Overview Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is not only less funny than the original Neighbors but loses a lot of its heart as it attempts to introduce new characters. Rating TV Viewing Trigger Warning(s): Vomiting Characters Worth Noting Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) | Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) | Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) | Shelby (Chloe Grace…
Initial Thoughts With Humans being an eight-episode order, it makes each action mean more for you know everything is so time limited. However, I must admit I was not expecting the ending for this episode that happened. For while I don’t believe that any show should fully commit to an absolute happy ending, it nonetheless…
Introduction As more people become aware that there is a possible sentient and murderous, synth on the loose, we begin to see humans give up on their relationships with one another, as well as synths begin to give up on each other.
Overview As with most Seth Rogen movies, the comedy is about the oddness of close male relationships, jackass style violence, and somewhere amongst that is character development. Review (with Spoilers) Whenever Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg come together, usually magic happens. The only exception being The Guilt Trip, and maybe The Watch as well. Otherwise,…
Introduction There are a handful of shocks and surprises in episode 4. Be it something physically done to Anita, which characters finally have their storylines converge with another, or perhaps who we learn is a possible sentient synth. More below. Trigger Warning(s): Attempted Sexual Assault
Overview Representation matters and as Viola Davis said, though more geared toward women of color, the only thing which separates people of color, or in this case Black people, from everyone else is opportunity. But in Floyd’s case what separates him from everyone else wasn’t just opportunity but hard work. Which, into his 80s, is…
