Book Review: STAR WARS: LAST SHOT
By: Daniel Jose Older This book review is part of our 7 Days of Solo: A Star Wars Story series. Click here for more WOBAM awesomeness. “THEN: It’s one of the galaxy’s most dangerous secrets: a mysterious transmitter with unknown power and a reward for its discovery that most could only dream of claiming. But those who fly the Millennium Falcon throughout its infamous history aren’t your average scoundrels.

Review: ROGUE ONE
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Directed By: Gareth Edwards Produced By: Kathleen Kennedy Simon Emanuel Allison Shearmur Yall have no idea how excited I was when Paul told us we could cover Star Wars. I was jumping up and down excited ok? Needless to say I am a huge Star Wars fan, have been for many years. So I have some bias. Ok maybe a lot more bias than most. But that’s mainly towards the expanded universe, which we might get to later down the road, but not today. Today we’re here to talk about Rogue One! Let’s talk about the characters first. We got some really awesome,…

Review: DEADPOOL 2
Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy of supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling mutant, Cable. From the most interesting studio in the world, the one that killed Wolverine and is now property of Disney, comes Deadpool 2. The highly-anticipated sequel to 2016’s R-rated smash hit Deadpool has a new director in David Leitch (Atomic Blonde), a bigger budget to work with and a larger cast of characters, but is it able to hold a candle to its groundbreaking predecessor? Let’s find out. Sadly, I don’t think this sequel is as good as the first one. And yes, I’m aware that I gave the first a…

REVIEW: GREEN LANTERN (2011 aka The Bad One™)
Hey, WOBAMers. It’s your buddy Deadpool. What, you expected someone different? Like Pauly Boy? Michael Shrek? John Juan? Joke’s on you, nematodes. Isak was gonna write this one, but he had a prior engagement with my fists a Louisville Slugger, so I’m filling in on this one. Got it? Let’s go… Before I was this gorgeous red leatherman, I was lean and green. My name was Hal Jordan (God I love that name, it makes me sound so arrogant and full of myself). I was the best pilot out there. But before you could hear the microwave signal that the chimichanga’s ready, a purple alien (are we sure this takes place…

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Review
I didn’t want to watch this. But what can you do when you have someone pointing two katanas at you while strapping you down with the help of ducktape. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a failed attempt of this katana-wielding supposed best friend. While I can’t see how this individual has a best friend (I’m kidding I’m kidding Mr. Pool), I have to admit that this truly is a failure of a movie. The movie starts off strong with the backstory of Wolverine (played by the everyone’s favorite Austrailian actor Hugh Jackman) and Sabertooth (played by Live Schreiber), two mutant brothers born in the 1800s (not the best time for mutants,…

Review: DEADPOOL
Grab some Chimichangas, because it’s time to review Deadpool. Also known as the funniest superhero movie ever made. By a landslide. Oh, I wasn’t supposed to show my cards so early into this review? Oops. Well, onto the lovefest… Deadpool is the first ever solo movie for the “Merc with a Mouth”, a wise-cracking, fast-talking antihero from the X-Men Comics. He was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, and made his first appearance in issue #98 of The New Mutants back in February of 1991. It isn’t technically his first appearance on the big screen, nor is it Ryan Reynolds’ first time playing this character, but let’s not go further there. The story…

The Flash (4×19) – “Fury Rogue” Written by: Jeff Hersh & Josh Gilbert Directed by: Rachel Talalay So I know I’m late but I have a job that sometimes requires me to stay in hotels for weeks at a time… Hotels with limited cable packages… and poor Wi-Fi speed that keep me from streaming… So really if you think about it I’m not late, YOU are and YOU owe ME an apology- Don’t worry about it, it’s forgiven. Anyway, Fury Rogue. Why don’t we shake things up with a game of Good News/Bad News! Bad news, I guess I forgot about Fallout because it turns out DaVoe has…

Review: SWORD GAI: The Animation
Sword Gai: The Animation is an anime based on a manga (aka Japanese comic) with the same name. The story follows Gai, a young blacksmith student that one day becomes possessed by a sword where an evil entity is living. With that, Gai becomes a target of both a secret society called Shoshidai as well as other individuals that been overtaken by demons. Before I continue with this review and you even thinking about watching this show, let me give you a fair warning. This show is by far one of the most brutal and violent animes I’ve seen. It doesn’t make it easier when the fighting can be rather…

BATMAN NINJA Review
For as long as people can remember, humans have struggled to find answers to several issues. These questions reins from everything to the meaning of life, what comes after death and what would happen if Batman was an anime character. Luckily, we have finally got the answer to one of them. Now, in Batman Ninja, we follow Batman/Bruce Wayne to ancient Japan when an experiment from Gorilla Grodd goes wrong. Now Batman has to stop the villains that came with him during the accident as well as find a way back home. When I first heard about this movie, I first thought it was a joke. Then I saw who…
