Review: VIDEO GIRL AI
Youta, who is the stereotypical loser in the classroom, find his life changed when a video girl from a VHS tape he rents comes to life. Raise your hand if you even knew of this property. I see a few in the back. Anyone else? Hmmmm… I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Anyways. I have had this anime on my radar for quite some time, and I’m glad that I finally was able to watch it. Why? There is a lot to talk about when it comes to this property. At first glance, it might come out as a generic, romantic anime. However, once you look at it closely, you’ll…

Are the Guardians in Trouble? Bautista Weighs In
It cannot be easy to be a Guardians of the Galaxy fan, considering the drama about James Gunn, but also the cast that is far from happy. However, there is one member of the crew that has been more opinionated to this firing than the rest, and that is Dave Bautista. Bautista recently spoke to Digital Spy, where he talked about something that I find worth mentioning. He mentions (although admitting that he is relatively unsure) that the issues when it comes to the third installment have gone so far that it might end up changing the fate of the galaxy traveling characters in Avengers 4. What do you think?…

Lord and Miller are Bringing the Spider-Verse to New York Comic Con
Chris Miller and Phil Lord. You know, the guys Ron Howard replaced. The duo have a reputation for crafting movies with heart and comedic flare that blow the doors off genre trappings. Later this year, they’re poised to do it again. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is the first big Spider-Man film where the main protagonist isn’t Peter Parker (even though Parker is part of the movie). This time Miles Morales takes the spotlight, and meets a bunch of different Spider-Persons along the way. Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse To gear up for the film’s marketing, Lord and Miller are heading to New City Comic-Con…

If there is something I think we all agree upon, is that DC seems to be all out with its upcoming streaming service, DC Universe.

This marks Reed’s second DC TV role; she previously played Sofia Falcone on Gotham. The second actress is Maria Sten, who will be playing…

Review: IRON FIST Seasons 1 and 2
Since I did Luke Cage seasons 1 and 2, I thought I might as well do both seasons of Iron Fist considering the second season is out now. Iron Fist season 1 is one of the worst shows of “television” I’ve seen in years. It feels like a generic Dallas clone with some supernatural elements to it. The fight scenes (which you would argue is a big key to an Iron Fist adaptation) is downright [insert censor beep here]. It also has some of the worst written lines I ever head. However, the worst aspect of the first season is the lead himself. I pulled my hair in frustration on more…

He also said the studio has already tried recasting once, before Blade: Trinity. You can read the full interview HERE. …
