Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

While Trevor Noah, like many comedians today, dabbles in observations on politics, traveling and life, there isn’t a lot of yelling, screaming, cursing and what have you. It’s about the storytelling, the use of accents, and the type of comedy you hear from friends every day. Just laced up well into an hour long special.

Una Noche – Overview/Review (with Spoilers)

Overview An unfamiliar tale, with known consequences. We are introduced to the lives of three young people seeking more than what Havana, Cuba can offer.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) With the show firmly shifting Fuuka’s storyline toward making this a show about music and seeming ending Yuu’s harem and just making it about him and Koyuki, I almost feel like I need to reevaluate the show. It’s no longer what it once was and I don’t know if that is…

Paterson – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) A long time ago I took this off my schedule since I just felt this wasn’t worth a trip to the city, I then pushed it back some more. However, with it being a kind of quiet week I had the time to watch this so I gave it a shot….

Watch_Dogs – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpIeWxsfBos Overview Traveling through open world cities is nothing new but with a hacking element, Watch_Dogs carves itself a nice little niche.

One Night (1 Night) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

This movie might be a pleasant surprise. For one, it features a romance which isn’t about unrealistic showboating and over the top grandeur gestures. Rather, it’s heavily about communicating with someone you like or love and attempting to work through the kinks in your relationship. Leading to perhaps one of the most likable romantic films I’ve seen.
