Pokemon: Detective Pikachu

For Free Comic Book Day I went to West Orange Comics and Games, while there I talked about the Sonic movie trailer (side note 1) and Scott suggested that I review that movie when it comes out. I decided since I was going to see this movie with my nieces and nephew anyways I might as well review it since it’s video game related.

Review: Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar

A Deafening Crescendo of Metal Majesty

"Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar" is a triumphant animated movie that serves as a brutal and beautiful culmination of the beloved heavy metal series. It features gut-wrenching humor, spot-on parodies of real bands, and an unapologetic embrace of heavy metal's dark allure. The movie is a heart-pounding gauntlet of dangers, a relentless battle of egos, and a quest for salvation through the ultimate song. The animation is a visceral feast for the senses, and the music is a relentless barrage of sonic fury that acts as the heartbeat of the movie. It is a cinematic mosh pit of epic proportions that pays homage to the essence of heavy metal and ensures the Metalocalypse saga goes out with a bang.

A Fun Return to the Netherworld

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice surprised me in the best way. Despite my initial doubts about recapturing the original’s magic after so many years, Keaton's chaotic energy, O’Hara’s standout performance, and the fun new cast made this exaggerated, cartoonish sequel a fun ride.
