When Makoto Shinkai’s Kimi no Nawa(Your Name) hit theaters in 2016, the film instantly achieved the second-largest gross for a domestic film in Japan and the fourth-largest ever. It topped the box office for a record-breaking 12 weekends and became the highest-grossing animated film in China. For once, the critics and fans were in agreement; the movie was good. So when the US release finally began its run in late April of 2017, I knew I had to go see it, and it didn’t disappoint. Everything from the animation, to the soundtrack, even the opening grabbed hold of me and refused to let go.
Mukena AddictPublished 3 years ago in GeeksIf you liked Mad Men, you will love The Queen's Gambit, and here's why:
When Mad Men came out in the summer of 2007, it sent shock waves through television as we knew it. It spurred a love affair with mid-century style and design, showcased an engaging new ensemble of actors and characters, and introduced a mysterious but fresh narrative where nebulous story lines were slowly revealed but never spelled out. Similarly to what Sex and the City did for HBO, it put AMC on the map. AMC became the first cable station ever to earn the coveted Emmy for an Outstanding Drama series. Now, in 2021, we are firmly ensconced within a major renaissance of television: There is incredible diversity of storytelling both in terms of subject matter and series formats to choose from. That said, if you enjoyed Mad Men over the course of its thought-provoking, confusing yet captivating, seven-year run on AMC, you should give the limited Netflix series, The Queen’s Gambit, a shot.

E. McAuleyPublished 3 years ago in GeeksIf You Like Superhero Movies, You Should Check Out The Crow
The Crow isn’t a superhero movie in the traditional sense, but I think people who enjoy Marvel and DC movies would love it. The Crow shares many similarities with many Marvel movies, especially those like Blade and the Punisher. The movie follows former guitar player, Eric Draven on his quest to exact revenge on those who murdered him and his girlfriend, Shelly. Yes, you read that correctly, the story’s protagonist is killed before the events of the movie take place. He returns with a new winged companion, a crow.
