Review: FIRE EMBLEM (2003)
Here, we follow Lyn, Hector, and Eliwood – three lords on the quest to save Eliwood’s father, as well as defeat the evil Black Fangs and their leader Nergal. Let us go back to 2003. The sun is shining, the rain is pouring down the streets, and the western Nintendo community gets access to a series that the Super Smash Bros. community can’t get enough of. Enter Fire Emblem, the seventh installment of the series with the same name. To explain the franchise in the simplest at terms, it boils down to it being a virtual board game. The game transition from chapter to chapter, where the “board” changes depending…

Why The Lion King Sucks
The Lion King (1994) is a cinematic masterpiece. It created a world we all fell in love with, featuring iconic characters and crafted a majestic story that still hits you even if you’ve seen it 100 times. It accomplished all of this with a runtime clocking in under 90 minutes. Not only that, but its theatre show is one of the highest-rated productions on Broadway, making over eight billion dollars over its 20-year run. I can talk about the legacy of The Lion King and how it reshaped both animation and Broadway as we know it, but that’s a story for another time. Instead, we are talking about the most…

How CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Redeemed Brandon Routh’s Superman
The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover included many beloved characters from past DC films and television shows. One of the most significant was Brandon Routh’s Superman. Routh played the Man of Steel in 2006’s Superman Returns, which was intended to be a continuation of the Christopher Reeve Superman series. Despite positive reviews from critics, the film underperformed at the box office and received mixed reactions from fans. This led to sequel plans being scrapped and the franchise being rebooted. So, fans probably were not expecting Routh to play Superman again. Fast-forward over a decade, and things have changed. Routh took on another DC hero role – this time as…

Review: CONTAGION
Sometimes the scariest movies are the ones that feel the most real. That is the case with the 2011 film from Steven Soderbergh, Contagion. As we speak, the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) disease is making its way into more and more populations, infecting thousands of individuals. Even at the time of its release, Soderbergh’s medical thriller was unnerving in its realistic portrayal of how quickly a virus can become an epidemic that can turn healthy individuals into statistics. With the Coronavirus in full swing, suspending just about all professional sports leagues imaginable, as well as delaying the release of just about every film being released theatrically in the next month, Contagion feels…
