Living on Netflix: Red Dawn (2012)
I’ve been seeing this one coming since I started writing these. It’s always been one of those I didn’t want to sit through because not only did it look really stupid, but I’ve never seen the original so my analysis would be somewhat incomplete. All that though, was just excuses for me to avoid it and I’m not about to let this (alleged) piece of crap occupy my mind any longer. I’m gonna sit down, grit my teeth, and get this over with. You wanna know how much I’m dreading this remake? Netflix thinks I’ll give the movie ONE star. ONE. STAR. Pray to Cthulhu for me. This might get ugly.
Bravest Warriors: An Introduction
Adventure TIme’s sister series is worth taking a look at. (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Living on Netflix: Man of Tai Chi
Keanu Reeves has been called one of the worst actors of all time, but I always felt that was hyperbolic crap. Sure, he’s not all that versatile, but he’s one of those actors who when given the right role can knock it out of the park. In the late 80s, it was Ted Theodore Logan in the wonderful Bill and Ted movies, and then later he became an icon for a generation of kids whose first R rated film was The Matrix. I’ve always had a soft spot for the guy, and was sad that he more or less disappeared after The Day the Earth Stood Still (one of those movies he was NOT suited for). Last year however, he came back in a big way by directing and starring in this martial arts film that he made over in China. Is this the triumphant return of one of Hollywood’s most underrated actors, or is it a desperate attempt to reclaim his popularity after a noticeable slump? If you want to know the answer, then keep on reading!!
Super Recaps: Sailor Moon Crystal (Episode 5)
Another two weeks, another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal! After last week’s excursion to the fancy ball, we’re back on track with the main story of gathering all the Sailor Scouts. Let’s not waste any more time and dive right into the tale of Sailor Brunette!
I’m convinced that there has to be a Moon Goddess in this show because the only explanation for Usagi not having died yet is divine intervention. Not only that, but near brushes with death usually coincide with plot points hence the fact that she’s saved by Sailor Brunette.

Living on Netflix: Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Turns out that Guardians of the Galaxy wasn’t the only seventies era sci-fi epic to get rebooted. In fact, this one beat it to the punch by about a year! For those of you unaware (like me before writing this review), Space Pirate Captain Harlock is a reboot of a seventies manga and anime about a moody pirate captain and his eclectic crew flying around in space. What sets this reboot apart from its original incarnations is a massive budget, as well as an ultra-realistic art style that contrasts with the more stylized look of the original. Does this reboot capture the glory of its forbearers for a new generation of viewers, or is it yet another unnecessary remake that misses the point of what made the original so great? Well, I probably won’t be able to answer that question because I don’t know much about the source material, but keep on reading anyway!
