reviewed Hulk Vs.. April 20
posted in Speech Bubbles: Comics & Graphic Novels
Hulk Vs. (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Widescreen)
What fun these two films are. Hulk VS Thor starts out with Odin going into a deep sleep once a year at which time the forces of evil descend upon Asgard to try to destroy it. Every year, however, their …
reviewed Banner of the Stars. April 18

Banner of the Stars
Banner of the Stars, the sequel to Crest of the Stars, is a mixed bag to say the least. On the one hand it’s slow, tiresome, badly paced, and boring; on the other it boasts some of the best space …

The Secret World of Arrietty
My love for Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli know no bounds. With each film they manage to capture the magic, the art, and the heart that make films great. Even what I consider their weaker films, such as Ponyo …

Upon finishing Gorge RR Martins "A Song of Ice and Fire" a friend recommended that I read one of the all-time classics of the fantasy genera, The Wheel of Time. Upon reading up on the series, …

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Every bone in my body is telling me “Jonathan, this is a romance, it’s a time traveling romance filled with plot holes, love triangles, and more teenee gooy romance then you can handle.” …

Blue Submarine 6
Something about this OVA caught my attention a long time ago, and ever since I’ve wanted to see it but just never got around to it. There was always another series that looked more interesting, …

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013 film)
There are films that ask you to accept the premise before going in. There are movies that ask you to accept certain plot elements though they don't make sense. There are movies that ask you to shut …
reviewed "Game of Thrones" (2010). April 06
posted in Pass The Remote!
      You have to give a hand to HBO for having the guts to take on such a lofty and risky project. Even for a company as successful and well thought of as them, Game of Thrones was …

Battlestar Gallactica
I'd like to make a little disclaimer before going on. I've never been a sci fi (sorry, SyFy) geek, not in the least bit. Oh, I've enjoyed my fair share of it, from Star Trek to Star Wars, and I've enjoyed …

Abraham Lincoln
This essay will be a controversial look at our 16th, and supposedly best, President Abraham Lincoln, and a case for the legal right of states to leave the union. Though at face value this may seem offensive …

Tales From Earthsea
What a disjointed mess of a film this is. Studio Ghibli has made a handful of sub par films in the past, nothing bad just a few films that don't quite live up to their incredibly high standards. For a …

Anime is a genre that gets a lot of flak from mainstream audiences, most of who've have either never seen an anime all the way through or have been exposed to only a certain kind, namely the more children …

Last Exile
Last Exile is one of those shows with an amazing premise, some strong characters, good action, and an interesting lore and world for a story to take place in. Anime is a genra for strong imaginations, …

Miyazaki has been a favorite of mine for many years. If there is one artist I can say has never let me down, it is Miyazaki (well, him and Tolkien, so you see how highly I regard his work). Every one …

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012 film)
...but this new film doesn't hold a candle to those movies.    I remember watching the first Paranormal Activity back in 2009 in a crowded theater in San Antonio. Up until that time …

The Hunger Games
Full disclaimer, I've not read the books that this movie is adapted from. Before going in I had no idea what to expect from this film except teenagers killing teenagers in a dis-utopian world sometime …

George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead (Two-Disc Ultimate Undead Edition)
Diary of the Dead was Romero's attempt to cash in on the shaky cam craze while putting his own zombie mastermind spin on it. Although technically his fifth film in the living dead series, I never really …

Legalizing Marijuana!
Heated debate broke out in my home shortly after ten o'clock last night after a Law and Order SVU (duh, duh) episode, a debate which will probably make my brother hate me and question my political beliefs …

Disclaimer for future readers, since I'm still weirded out by the rateing system on this sight, I'll just use the Amazon rating system from now on and use the five star system.       …

  It's getting really annoying how Dekker fans gush over every one of his books as if they were written by God Himself, proclaiming them to be "masterpieces" and riveting fiction every …

Showdown (book)
  Ted Dekker has a big three when it comes to his books; a host of good to great books, and handful of bad ones, but only three books which should always be remembered. Those big three are Thr3e …

Aliens Vs. Predator - Requiem
Man, good thing I don't read all the reviews for a movie before seeing it, because I may have skipped over this film altogether. What is all the complaining about? How is this film anything but good? …

Halo Legends
I was never a huge fan of the video games. Not because I didn’t like them or because I don’ t just love the stories (I do) but mainly because I didn’t own an xbox when they first came …

Whisper of the Heart
I hate to give anything by Ghibli a negative review, trust me it has NEVER happened before, but Whisper of the Heart is hardly as good as any of Ghibli's great films, such as Spirited Away, Grave of the …

Dragon Wars
And that's really saying something. I didn't think it could get any worse than Sahara (Widescreen Edition), but man oh man was I wrong? I actually went out of my way to go see this movie because the previews …

The Place Promised In Our Early Days
The Place Promised in Our Early Days plays a lot like what Voices of a Distant Star could have been had it been a full length film as opposed to a 23 minute short. Set in an alternate world where Japan …

Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi no koe)
  Okay, first I would like to put to rest the lie that this movie is of the same standard as Miyazaki's films. It is not. It's a start for an upcoming director, but still not up to Miyazaki's greatness. …

southpark season six
  There are few seasons of South Park that is as funny, as gross, and politically incorrect as season 6, and that's what I love the most about it. It stars out normal enough with the humorous, yet …

Invasion
First off, I'll let everyone here know that when i saw this movie I've never seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers(shame on me) and so cannot compare it to that movie. I've never seen a re-make of it before, …
