Review – Hamilton: An American Musical
Hamilton is a hip-hop musical based on the life of the United State’s first Treasury Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda). The film shows us the life of Alexander. A young, scrappy, and hungry teenager is willing to give his life for his country’s freedom. We see his early years to his death. Without going into spoilers [can you spoil history?], Hamilton is a film about legacies, ambition, sacrifice, and loss. The rivalry between Alexander and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom Jr.) is the plot’s driving force. Two different world views from very flawed individuals. The entire cast is phenomenal. Leslie Odom shines as Burr and delivers the film’s best performance. Then we…

Don’t Go It Alone: What to Watch, Play, and Listen to During the Coronavirus Outbreak
Unless if you’ve been living under a rock, you know allllllllll about COVID19 aka Coronavirus aka the greatest threat to mankind since memes.

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…

Review: THE WAY BACK (2020)
The Way Back is a sports drama that marks the reuniting of star Ben Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor, following their 2016 action movie The Accountant. In this movie, Affleck plays Jack Cunningham, a retired basketball player who takes on the role of coach for a new team. Along the way, Cunningham wrestles with alcoholism and trauma from his past. Gavin O’Connor has been a proven filmmaker in recent years. In addition to The Accountant, he directed 2011’s stellar Warrior. Here, he returns to the sports genre. The story for The Way Back is fairly straightforward, and it has many plot elements that are found in classic underdog tales. Despite…

MY HERO ACADEMIA: HEROES RISING Review – Not Very Plus Ultra
The hit anime series, My Hero Academia just released its second feature film. Heroes Rising is not canon to the story of MHA, and this is very important when viewing, so just keep that in mind when watching. Does the film go Plus Ultra or does it crash and burn? Well, let’s discuss (no spoilers). The story takes place after the Overhaul arc (season 4) in the anime. Deku has his shoot style and all of class 1-A has their provisional licenses. The setting is pretty interesting. A small town recently lost their hero, and U.A. High School sends their students to monitor the area. At least until a pro is…

Review: AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019)
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame. It’s no stretch to say that Avengers: Endgame is one of the most anticipated movies in history. Marvel Studios has been building up to this moment for 11 years, from the first Iron Man movie. These movies have been huge from the beginning. Anticipation skyrocketed even more after Avengers: Infinity War, which ended in a huge cliffhanger that saw the victory of Thanos and deaths of many beloved heroes. So,…

OFFICIAL: The End of WOBAM! Entertainment
To say the least, WOBAM! Entertainment has been one heck of a journey. In late 2013, I launched the first iteration, Watchtower of Babel News. Then, in 2017, I kicked off sister site Astonishing Marvels, before merging the sites together a year later. After much time and energy spent putting it together, the WOBAM! Entertainment site is what it is today. I can’t go any further without giving a heartfelt thank you to every single person who has ever been involved with WOBAM.
