I guess I better go see Suicide Squad tomorrow so I can get a review of it up. I always did like the idea of horrible people being strongarmed into doing good.
Wade, fetch me my fedora! We have a movie to see.
NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FOR SUICIDE SQUAD. IF YOU WISH TO HAVE THE FILM REMAIN UNSPOILED, THEN FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS REVIEW.
Well that was...something.
So, the last two weeks of the show have been interesting haven't they? I mean we got a prank/zombie episode and then we got a changeling episode. It's a pretty big time for the show with new lessons to learn and all. Or not.
The Coen Brothers, eclectic as always, take on film noir in this hyper subdued, intentionally self serious yet absurd deconstruction of the film noir genre, where, in playing the standard tropes and motifs of the genre dead straight, stretching them to the point where they snap back on themselves. It's a dense, cerebral film, and one that, while lacking the gonzo charms of, say, O Brother, Where Art Thou? or The Hudsucker Proxy, still manages to be a fascinating work of art, and a
The most recent version of The BFG didn't get a lot of press for whatever reason. But regardless, it is a great film. I really loved the book when I was younger. I've always been a big fan of all of the works of Roald Dahl, especially his lesser known short story collections aimed at adult readers. However, I've never been a big fan of the way many people attempt to make his stories into films or television shows. Mostly because they don't seem to get Roald Dahl's dark humor or wit and always
I am scared for the future of Friendship Is Magic but it isn't for the reason you might think. I do not think the show has declined in quality since season two. In fact, I tend to like seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 a lot better than the first two seasons which looking back are a little too childish and had too low of stakes involved in each episode.
It's time for more unpopular opinions! Aren't those fun to have? So prepare your butts. The porcupine needles of opposing viewpoints are heading in your direction!
I finally got around to watching the Ghostbusters 2016 movie and I have to say; it's really not as bad as people are making it out to be. I thought that the plot was pretty decent. There was a lot of good humor and action. At the end of the day, I think all of the controversy around the film turned out to be kind of dumb.
I don't write reviews, really this is more of an opinion.
We're doing the good first.
There were no music numbers/this wasn't a musical episode.
The man who helped bring you The Passion of the Christ is back and this time he's starting season six of My Little Pony: Friendship is Obligatory. Watch as the main characters head to the Crystal Empire again. Watch as they discuss topics like friendship and the plot! Be amazed at how the princesses can who can move the sun, moon and defeat entire armies can't fight snow! Finally watch as the Hell spawn, a thing which should not exist yet does, a thing that sprang forth from
Well...this was a train wreck. Uninspired animation. Boring dialog. Mundane characters. Stupid plot.
Dang it Emoji Movie; you were supposed to be the underdog.
You were supposed to prove us all wrong, despite having crappy trailers and cruddy animation.
You were supposed to be like a phoenix and rise out of the flames of your bad press.
But you decided to stay hidden in the ashes...perhaps as one of the Phoenix's turds.
My Little Pony Makeup Line??
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a makeup line now. :/
As in with an actual makeup company/ line (not for kids, not an off-brand).
It was put out by a makeup company called PÜR Cosmetics.
Whelp, now I've seen everything.

I rarely do episode reviews, though I made an exception for “A Royal Problem.” I’m making another exception, though, so it’s time to look at one of the most lore-filled episodes of the show’s run as I explain why I... don’t really care for it.
Don’t you look at Best Pony that way, you jerk.
Heya readers! Rather than let things build up until I’m in a mad-dash to get my back-pack of Rick and Morty reference together, Yeah, I wrote that line over a month ago and didn’t get back to finishing this until now. So... oops. I’ve decided to go ahead and get my Patreon reward for nuclearcore done!
There are a lot of people on YouTube who do reactions to MLP episodes as well as MLP fan content. But in my opinion, MrCobaltSky is one of the best reactors in the community.

Tomas Alfredson's intensely cerebral cinematic adaptation of John le Carré's equally cerebral and complex film is a worthwhile exercise in subdued character studies. It might not be the most intense or gripping of espionage films, but it makes up for it by having top notch acting, and wonderfully atmospheric direction.

As of this review post, we are into the big stories. I have a lot of review sessions coming up with stories going beyond 100,000 or even 200,000 words, and it's getting harder and harder to keep up as a result. I'm still several weeks ahead of schedule, but if I keep getting these big stories I may lose my lead. In summation, there may come a time within a month or two where I'm forced to only release reviews as the sets are completed, rather than weekly. Here's hoping that doesn't happen,
My Little Pony Season 9 is in full swing and began with a council of evil getting together, two dimwits wanting to retire and in the end not a whole lot changed. You know, like every election year. That's not to say there weren't good things about the first two episodes (I'm ignoring the third episode here). In fact one might argue that it was one of the better starts to a season. Heck it could have been even stronger than it was but let's start out with what was good.
