Spider-Man: Younger Does Not Mean Better.
So currently, I've been reading articles and reviews and comments about the newest addition to the Spider-Man franchise and I have been more than slightly irritated about them. Since his appearance in Civil War, he has been dubbed "the best and absolute perfect casting for Spider-Man," before his solo movie has even been released and even if it is true, it isn't fair to state things like that as a matter of fact, because the truth of the matter is, he's a third try at a franchise that has never really failed in their first movie.

What's Right and Wrong with the New Live-Action Death Note!
Just mere months ago, the first trailer for the new live-action Death Note movie was released onto YouTube by Netflix. Not too long after the release, we started to see a love/hate relationship with the teaser, and that's to be expected. Yes, there was some great stuff in the teaser trailer (Ryuk mostly), but there were also some things that we didn't agree with entirely. Now before we get into this list, I just wanna say that while yes, we as anime fans do have a rough history with film adaptations *COUGH* Dragon Ball *COUGH*, I actually do see potential and have hope in this live-action adaptation! So with that being said, let's get right into the list!

Adventures in Babysitting (1987) Review: A Wild Night Out and an 80s Classic with a Big Heart
A Lovable Relic of 80s Teen Comedy When Adventures in Babysitting hit theaters in 1987, few could have guessed that this modest teen comedy would become such a beloved 80s relic. Directed by Chris Columbus in his feature debut and starring the effortlessly appealing Elisabeth Shue, the film captures both the reckless fun and innocent sweetness of a bygone era of studio comedies.

Anime and My Love/Hate Relationship With It
There are those who love anime, and those who absolutely hate it. Those who dislike it certainly have valid reasons, and I’m not going to argue and tell you you’re wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m not here to convince you to come over to the darkside.

New Jumanji Trailer: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Jumanji is an adventure movie that first came out in 1995 and instantly became a family favorite. Actors such as Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and Johnathan Hyde carried us through a deep and fantastic story that will forever stay in our hearts. Sadly I feel that the new movie coming out in 2017 - Jumanji: Into the Jungle - will fall way short of any such effect. Although not a complete loss, the sequel fails to capture the wonder and depth that made the original a timeless classic. In this article, I break down the good the bad and the ugly of the new trailer (you can watch it here).

Bond: The Living Daylights At 30
Once upon a time, the James Bond film series was in trouble. Despite financial success, the series seemed to have sputtered somewhat with the last two Roger Moore Bond outings. When Moore confirmed he was leaving the role in December 1985, fans of the nearly 25-year-old franchise may have been left wondering what would happen to the series next. The answer came in the summer of 1987 when not only a new Bond film called The Living Daylights appeared but a new Bond as well. His name? Dalton. Timothy Dalton. The result was to be the beginning of a new era for the series.

The Connection Between The Matrix and Westworld
The Matrix trilogy is a groundbreaking series that first came out almost two decades ago and still remains relevant in popular culture today. From satirical portrayals in movies and cartoons to the use of the "Red Pill" as a commonly used term denoting the awakening to reality.But for all of its popularity, there is a misconception about a pretty important plot device that has not been widely addressed. In this article, I attempt to highlight a new perspective on what humans really do for the machines and how it relates to Westworld.
