Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! review

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is a feeding frenzy that’s filled with itself. They knew this was coming. Oh Hell No, is right. I was first assigned Sharknado because someone thought it was ironic. That was alright the first time around, but, to paraphrase Jay Mohr, irony blows. Much, much louder. Or aSaturday Night Liveskit that goes on too long. Pick any, or lets just say Land Shark. That was one of SNLs tightest and briefest skits....

Pixels Review

Pixels combines ’80s nostalgia with Adam Sandler comedy fireworks. But is it a success or game over? Judging by recent box office receipts, 1990s nostalgia is in full force. But there still must be something said about the 80s. They even recreated the pixel glories of these images into beautiful 3D CGI-life. Apparently, this shame caused him to grow into a 40-something Nerd Driver (think Geek Squad). As the lead, Sandler is less animated than his CGI co-stars in more than one way....

Rick and Morty Season 2: 10 Characters We Want to See Again

With Rick and Morty season 2 coming back, we catalog some recurring characters wed like to see return. He specifically identified Hitler/Lincoln hybrid Abradolf Lincler (Noo!) and Mr. Meseeks (Noooooooo!) as characters that would not be returning.

Ant-Man, Age of Ultron, and The Problem With Marvel

There are many things to love about theCommunityseason six finale. ), it was a touching half-hour full of wit, pathos, and just a hint of narcissism. Hence, why there were so few of them. At the end of the day,Ant-Manis a perfectly serviceable movie. And families looking for a two-hour diversion will get just that. Two hours of distraction, plus a nice fading smile on the walk to the parking lot....

Batman: Arkham Knight Vol. 1 (DC) Review

Batman: Arkham Knight has its own prequel comic, but is it worth reading? The Joker is dead and Batman/Bruce has to help rebuild Gotham now that the prison is closed. The villain (anti-hero?) His closest encounter with Batman is a bit confusing and doesnt really resolve in a satisfying way. But again, this is only four issues in. The series, so far, is much more of aArkham Citysequel. And that part is vastly more interesting than the things yet to come....

Sailor Moon Crystal: Finale Review

Sailor Moon Crystal has reached its last act. Here’s what we thought… The Sailor Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and King Endymion face down Death Phantom in the void. Everything seems to be heading back to normal. Im actually a really huge fan of epilogue episodes. And it totally worked. All of those approaches are valid options when done right. The problem with the finale ofSailor Moon Crystal was that it did none of these things....
