[Review] Prey (2022) Is an Amazingly Intense Return to Form for the Predator Franchise

I have just watched Prey (2022) Without a doubt, this is the BEST Predator movie since the first one graced 80s theaters. This movie brings the Predator franchise back to its roots. No unnecessary fluff, no ridiculous “autism are powers”, and no boring stretches of cringe dialogue. Instead, we get a simple and focused story with strong themes, gorgeous cinematography, engaging characters, and most importantly, … Continue reading [Review] Prey (2022) Is an Amazingly Intense Return to Form for the Predator Franchise

[Review] Everything Everywhere All At Once And Asian Identity

I won’t be spoiling anything in this review. I love the movie too much to spoil anything major about it. I haven’t been to theaters in a long while. So, when COVID-19 restrictions eased and theaters re-opened, I went back to watch a movie of an emotionally torn protagonist jumping through universes to find purpose and meaning in the chaos of an ever-shifting reality. That … Continue reading [Review] Everything Everywhere All At Once And Asian Identity

[Review] Goodbye Eri – The Fujimoto Oneshot That Lies To You (Sort Of)

After the incredible Look Back (which I reviewed a few months ago) Fujimoto is back with another one-shot, and I’m gonna be honest guys, this might just be recency bias, but I think this is my favorite of all his works so far. Now that I’m done needlessly hyping up something any sane person should be hyped for, it’s time to take a look at … Continue reading [Review] Goodbye Eri – The Fujimoto Oneshot That Lies To You (Sort Of)

[Spoiler Review] Finally, Spider-Man: No Way Home Really Makes You FEEL Like Spider-Man

Yes, that was a dunkey reference. First Impressions This is the best Holland Spider-Man movie by a LONG shot, it’s not even close if I am being totally honest. The brilliance of making us think that this Peter didn’t need an origin story then pulling the rug out from under us by revealing the entire trilogy was the origin story? Spectacular.Let’s get it out of … Continue reading [Spoiler Review] Finally, Spider-Man: No Way Home Really Makes You FEEL Like Spider-Man

[Movie Essay] The Intimacy of Encanto

[Minor spoilers for Encanto] Encanto is the latest animated feature from the NOT-Pixar side of Disney’s animation team, and it’s got to be one of the most charming and sincere of their films to come out in recent years. The music is catchy yet it develops the characters really well. The visuals are masterfully crafted and don’t act as crutches for the movie’s existence. The … Continue reading [Movie Essay] The Intimacy of Encanto

A Review Of Arcane From Someone Who Doesn’t Play League of Legends – Act II

A Review Of Arcane From Someone Who Doesn’t Play League of Legends – Act I

Full disclosure, I have near-zero knowledge of League. I play Runeterra a lot, but that would be like saying I’m a Warcraft loremaster because I play Hearthstone. In essence, I’m going into this show blind, and will be judging it on its own merits, so if you’re interested in Arcane but not a League fan, or a League fan looking to know if Riot has … Continue reading A Review Of Arcane From Someone Who Doesn’t Play League of Legends – Act I

Boy’s Abyss Review: Exploring The Darker Side of Intimacy

I’ve been reading a lot more manga as of late. While I dip my toes into several titles, I find it hard to follow them weekly. So many manga feels less “episodic” when read in a weekly format. It always feel more like I’m watching half of a complete episode. It’s a rare exception for a manga to grab my attention weekly and leave me … Continue reading Boy’s Abyss Review: Exploring The Darker Side of Intimacy

Manga Eats: Let’s cook a Rice Omelette from Sweetness and Lightning!

I like food, and I like anime. A lot. Ever since I watched shows like Shokugeki and Sweetness & Lightning, I’ve started taking a huge interest in cooking fun dishes instead of the regular old lazy ones I used to make. This is the first time I decided to make a blog post about it. Totally not because this was the first recipe from an … Continue reading Manga Eats: Let’s cook a Rice Omelette from Sweetness and Lightning!

[Review] The Fleeting Beauty of Art in “Look Back” – A Oneshot by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Hey all, been a while since I wrote here, but I just couldn’t not talk about this, even if briefly. Off the bat, this is one of the best oneshots I’ve ever read. It’s a gorgeously drawn, emotionally resonant and all-around awesome work by the author of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, Tatsuki Fujimoto. Works like these are what I hope to see more of … Continue reading [Review] The Fleeting Beauty of Art in “Look Back” – A Oneshot by Tatsuki Fujimoto
