In this prequel to Netflix's The Witcher series, Blood Origin cements itself in history and mythology and proves that the universe can exist beyond Geralt. "Control a story, control the world." The power of stories, songs, and bards, is the central tenant to Netflix's limited series; The Witcher:
Dragon Age: Absolution is an interesting mix of epic fantasy adventure and a heist story. However, it never really rises above being a decent story. The only thing that saves this adult animated series from mediocrity, in my opinion, is a combination of likable main cast and its good LGBTQ
When I was growing some of the best times in my life were watching movies. From Star Wars to Tron I couldn't get enough, but there was one that even to this day catches my attention like no other, and that movie is The Dark Crystal. Last night, not only was I lucky enough to catch The Dark Crystal
Ron Howard's original film Willow, which came from a story cooked up by George Lucas himself… is one of those eighties fantasy flicks that I have a soft spot in my heart for. Alongside Legend and The Neverending Story… Willow is the sort of cheesy, light-hearted genre fare that only that
Amphibia season 3 is the final season of this froggy adventure on Disney+, and boy, does it deliver. It's easily one of the best conclusions to any isekai stories in existence, with an ending that is a bit on the bittersweet side, but is ultimately very satisfying to watch. When worlds (and frogs)
Amphibia season 2 is when the story finally kicks into high gear, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. Literally because of the fun road trip Anne and the Plantars go on. Figuratively because this is when the story starts getting really good. Man, even the key art for this season looks
Amphibia season 1 is at its heart the start of an isekai story. All you have to do is look up the anime term to see that. And yet, despite the fact that it's not an anime, its slice of life fantasy premise already makes it better than 50% to 75% of all isekai anime. Mostly due to the lack of a
It's rather depressing that you can tell The Owl House season 2 is a rushed affair. It's no wonder since Disney axed the show during production of season 2. With multiple storylines often packed like sardines into individual episodes, the whole series feels hyper-compressed and overly accelerated
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm jumps right into some bloody action with a new second cours in Ep. 13 "Daikyo and Shokyo". And just two weeks after the conclusion of the first cours to boot. We certainly didn't have long to wait before we see the bloody conclusion to the action-packed ending of Ep. 12.
