    I just watched this documentary on Netflix, and it’s fascinating. It basically tells the tale of the birth of the band, stopping just as “the big break” happened (”We’re Not Gonna Take It” et al.) I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of the band or anything (sure, I loved those hits back in the…

    I finally got around to watching this, and even though I was expecting something pretty good based on the positive reactions I’d heard from friends who had seen it, it even surpassed my expectations. I’m also really happy to see that Dan Trachtenberg (the director) did such a great job with this – I was…

    I wrote recently that I watched the new Gundam “Origin” series with my wife (the 2 episodes that are out), and that it was making me want to watch the original 70s series, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. It’s one of my wife’s all-time favorite series, and she’s been suggesting I watch it…

    On the same day that I watched all 10 episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Arise – Alternative Architecture, I then watched this movie that came out last year, that pretty much acts as the cap to the story told in the Arise series. That means that if you like the series, you absolutely need…

    With all the hype surrounding Civil War, I decided to revisit this, and found myself enjoying it much more than I remember liking it the first time around. Sure, Batroc with a Quebec accent still bugs me to no end, and I still think Scarlett Johansson is goddawful as the Black Widow, but the rest…

    I was absolutely obsessed with this series today, and ended up binging all 10 episodes today. As for what this is, it takes the four Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs (original video animation) and re-edits them into a TV series, then adding another 2 new episodes to conclude the storyline (although, it’s really Ghost…

    Since yesterday I read the first 5 volumes of this series, and I just can’t stop (I think there’s close to 20 volumes out at this point). I actually did read the first 3 volumes or so a few years ago, but that was all that was out at that point, and then I never…
