There is no question that Hollywood has, over the course of film history, made some very poor casting choices. May times it takes the form of decidedly white actors playing decidedly non-white characters. This goes back decades; John Wayne as Genghis Kahn is an easy example. In such cases, the
You would think that Bloodborne: The Lady of the Lanterns #2 would continue the storyline from issue #1. If you did though (like I did), then you would be wrong. Because apparently, this comic book is more of an anthology than it is a serialized comic book with an overarching storyline. I really
Well, we all knew this was coming for Netflix's adaptation of One Piece. They are going to deviate from the original source material by Eiichiro Oda. By how much, you might ask? Well, read on: Going Merry of Theseus? You would think they would know better by now. Netflix's One Piece cinematographer
Fans of RWBY might get a sense of déjà vu after watching Dota: Dragon's Blood Book 2. At the very least, there are nearly as many depressing moments as in Volume 3 of that Rooster Teeth show. The night and day symbolism is strong with this one. Dota: Dragon's Blood Book 2 is the second season of
I want to start this off by saying that I am loving House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power so far. I really thought that either one of them, or both of them, would end up disappointing… but, both of them have proven in their first two episodes that they are not messing around. I'm doing
Lost in the Reel's video review for The Rings of Power Anyone that follows my channel/writing closely, knows that I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. The original Peter Jackson Trilogy are three of my favorite films of all time and I grew up reading the books religiously. After the mediocre
The Lonesome Hunters #3 finally has our heroes meet the queen of the creepily cute magpies. She wants her shiny back, and she wants it back now. Only, now she may want more shinies to boot. I know they're supposed to be creepy, but all I see are cute birds playing puppeteer with people. Cover
In Flavor Girls #2, Sara finds out that the road to becoming a good magical girl starts with boot camp. Which is a big problem for someone who has apparently up until that point lived more or less as a couch potato. Rayquaza, is that you? Cover artist: Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky. Flavor Girls #2 is
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.
