It is once again Christmas time, and we all know what that means!  CRAPPY HOLIDAY MOVIES!!!  Ugh… I was not looking forward to having to do a Christmas movie considering how chock full of crap the genre is filled with, and the knowledge that I COULD be watching much better holiday films instead of whatever one I decide to review.  Netflix must have heard my thoughts (I think that’s part of their license agreement) and delivered unto me a holiday film called Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger starring the one and only David Tennant!  Well it HAS to be good, right?  I mean, Dr. Who wouldn’t sign on to anything that sucked… would he?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

~ Matt Vetrano ~ 1 Comment

Another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal has descended from on high by the benevolent Gods among men who work at Toei.  Will this episode fix the awkward stumbling block that we ended the last episode on!?  Will our heroes be able to actually do something other than wring their hands for five minutes before each fight!?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins where so many of them have before, i.e. all the scouts who AREN’T princesses curled up into balls of defeat due to dubious injuries sustained by a dubiously powerful foe.

“I’m in so much pain right now!!  Can’t you tell by my squinty eye!?”

Another two weeks, another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal.  No wait, it’s been three weeks.  DAMN YOU POPE GREGORY XIII FOR INTRODUCTING THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR!!  IT’S YOU’RE FAULT THERE WERE FIVE SATURDAYS IN NOVEMBER!!!  Anyway, let’s jump right in and find out what Evil Tuxedo Mask has in store for our heroes!!

The episode begins with Usagi having another dream about Tuxedo Mask.  Despite getting some answers to her in the last episode, the guy is still missing and it’s definitely affecting Usagi.

“Usagi.  That’s not how you do a sit up.”     “SHUT UP!!  I’M SAD!!!”

We’re back with another recap of the best season of Dragon Ball Z!  When we last left our hero, he had just helped Videl stop a new gang from taking root in Satan City!  Will they continue to work together to fight crime, or will circumstances tear these two apart!?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins with Gohan on the hunt for his little brother Goten.  He eventually finds him hanging out in some giant nest.

“I thought this would be a pretty good hiding place.”     “Oh yeah?  How did that work out?”    “There’s a lot more sticky stuff in this shell than I expected.”

We’re back with another Gotham recap!  In the last episode, we got lots of set up for the inevitable mob war between the Falcone family and the up and coming Maroni family.  Now it’s time to pay off all those stories that the last episode spent building up!  Oh no wait, we’ve got to do an episode about Bullock.  Sigh… okay then.

The episode begins with a creepy bald man putting on a lucha lebre mask.  I doubt it’s Bane though because the guy is kind of scrawny, and he calls himself The Spirit of the Goat.

Once again we find ourselves with another episode of Captain Boring’s Adventures in Crime City.  So the last episode was a bit of a disappointment when compared to previous episodes which have steadily increased in quality.  So was episode four the beginning of the end for this series having any hope of quality, or will this episode make up for what we saw last time?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins with Bruce who is in desperate need of a hobby.

“Yes!  All I need is some red string and that’ll PROVE that the CIA shot Tupac!”

Super Recaps: Gotham (Episode 4)

Gotham has been on a steady rise since it’s started, but it’s frankly taking way too long to get to what I’d consider “good” instead of “passable” or “mediocre.”  Will episode 4 be the one to ramp up the quality so that I can actually enjoy this show instead of just waiting for Penguin to show up?  Yeah… I doubt it too.  Still, there’s only one way to find out and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins where the last one left off, with Gordon just about to crap his pants.  At least I think he is.  Gordon’s acting is just as non-expressive as ever, so it’s hard to tell.

Super Recaps: Sailor Moon Crystal (Episode 10)

Another two weeks, another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal!  It’s been rough for the last few episodes, but the last one ended on such a high note that I couldn’t wait to see this one!  Does this one continue to push the series in a positive direction, or will it fall back on old habits that have made the show less enjoyable at times?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins just as the last one ended where Luna is proposing a trip to the moon.  They can’t go until the full moon though, so the gang is preparing for their trip to outer space.

Don’t try to make sense of this.  It’s only going to confuse the audience.
