People were expecting much from Netflix's live-action adaptation of the pirate fantasy adventure manga and anime One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. Fortunately, Netflix very much delivered with this adaptation. Shockingly so when you consider just how unsuccessful live-action adaptations of anime are as a
Despite the episode title, much of Kaiju No. 8 Ep. 10 "Secret Revealed" is not actually about Kafka Hibino. Much of the episode is actually about his comrades fighting for their lives, and actually coming out on top. Really, it's only when the situation escalates into something beyond everyone's
Black Butler -Public School Arc- Ep. 10 "His Butler, Assenting" finally ends the mystery that has been haunting Weston College. All in a rather stunning and dramatic way to boot. It's certainly a great way to wrap up the Public School Arc, even if this season of the anime apparently isn't quite

Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF Ep. 11 "Forest of Wolves and Frigid Rain" gives some complications to the plan Lawrence and Holo are conspiring together with Remerio and Nora. A lot of complications, actually. Not just of the lupine variety either. Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE
DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION Ep. 3 continues with the slice of life fun times taking place in the midst of an alien invasion. Or at least, what the Japanese and American governments think is an alien invasion. However, this episode gives us a plotline that's just a touch more dramatic, and
One of Aardman Animations' most popular characters, the intelligent and ever-inquisitive Shaun the Sheep, finally has another trip to the big screen. The Shaun movies have become a franchise of their own, spinning off the iconic Wallace & Gromit shorts and features into a well-loved TV series.
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
“By Any Means” treads familiar ground, but Mark Wahlberg shines as real life Hitman-turned-Fed informer Gregory Scarpa, and behind the tropes and cinematic conventions is the kernel of a true story that has relevance to this day. Mark Wahlberg is distracting (mostly in a good way) throughout
