Review – Movie – Scott Pilgrim vs the World

I generally like to avoid giving away too many spoilers for anything new so I’ll break this review in half so to speak.  I’ll preface this a bit with my thoughts and feelings before going into this movie. Based on almost no evidence, the original thought was “Hey look, it’s River City Ransom the Movie”.  These character all come off the way Kunio and company would if they were live action players in a film with a plot slightly deeper than “Fight across the city to rescue your girlfriend’.  In addition to the seemingly gratuitous River City Ransom influence, there…

Review – Movie – Transformers

This is where I give my thoughts on the Transformers movie. Instead of regurgitating the same garbage about how great the special effects were and how it’s the “action movie of the year” and all. It's a bumbling mess of a collection of random bull shit, much like this film franchise. Yeah, great special effects. Things were integrated pretty seamlessly into the non CGI parts. The problem is that the action is so cluttered and messy you can’t tell what the hell is going on 90% of the time. Robots engage in combat and instead of getting shots of the…

Review – Movie – Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

I don’t review too many movies. Generally, I don’t find I have too much to say about most movies I watch so I steer clear of trying to do detailed reviews. However, Advent Children is one movie I found I had a lot to say on, and it’s the sequel to a game I’ve reviewed twice in one of my favorite game series that I’ve done many reviews for, so I’m sort of obligated. I’ll also add, before I get started, that this review contains spoilers for the film, so if you care about having the plot ruined, which the…

Review – Anime – Gunsmith Cats and Riding Bean

These two are actually more or less the same series. Rally Vincent appears in both as more or less the same character (they look different), and Bean Bandit appears in the Gunsmith Cats comic. Also they are done by the same creator (Kenishi Sonoda). The point is they really fit together. Like Apples and… slightly… differet…Apples. So the plot goes like this, there are bad guys, usually criminals of some sort with drugs or some shit, and the bad guys are chased down by vigilantes. Lots of Car chasing and shooting later, the bad guys die. Hard. With a VENGANCE.…

Review – Movie – The Powerpuff Girls Movie

I had planned to see this movie opening day for the sake of whatever but for some intelligent reason the local theaters decided no one wanted to see it after 5 PM so I was stuck working while it was actually playing. It turns out they were probably doing the right thing since there were only like a dozen people in the theater when I finally say it the Saturday after opening weekend. Then again maybe people just don’t go see fucking movies at noon. That aside, I’m sort of really mixed on this movie. On one hand I liked…
