My 'Clannad' Review
Clannad started as a video game and branched out into two seasons and a movie. Each season aired at different times, the first episode of the first season was aired on 2007. The first season is Clannad, the second season is Clannad: After Story and the movie is simply titled Clannad: The Movie. To specify, most people who have seen Clannad are of the eighteen to twenty-five age range as the series was aired in 2007 and the intended audience was teens at the time of its release. Although anime is becoming more and more popular in America, Clannad isn't considered a popular anime because it finished airing around the beginning of the anime boom. I plan to review the anime series as a whole and to answer basic questions that all anime lovers are forced to ask, here is what I know: the animated series comes in both English subtitles and in English dub as well as Japanese. Many fanbases do convert the series over into their own language. It's easy to find on YouTube or many fan-based websites for free. If you'd rather own the series it wouldn't break your bank, a normal DVD set costs around twenty to thirty dollars and is purchasable online or in specific stores. I personally would recommend purchasing the series and watching it at your own pace. Now that that’s out of the way, Clannad left me breathless; I do suggest it go on your list of must-sees. The genre is geared towards the female audience yet is set in the point of view of the male protagonist which is rather effective in its goal to attract the female audience throughout the plot.

Christina St-JeanPublished 7 years ago in GeeksCan Netflix's 'Castlevania' Break Dracula's Curse?
Netflix is taking a big gamble on their next project. Bram Stoker's Dracula and pretty much any video game adaptation have one thing in common, when it comes to adapting them for the screen, large or small. They're both subject to audiences with a love for the original content and that means any new adaptation has to get by steadfast fans if it's going to be a success.

"It was a fantastic decade in a lot of ways ... there was something in the air that is not there any more at all...It was a really hopeful time... You got the feeling you could do anything. The future was bright. Little did we know we were for a disastrous future."
James GilesPublished 7 years ago in GeeksReview: Shimmer Lake
So, I recently watched Shimmer Lake, a Netflix original drama/comedy. When the trailers for the film came out earlier this summer I was immediately intrigued. The film featured a cast of typically comedic actors such as Rainn Wilson, Adam Pally, Ron Livingston and John Mitchell Higgins. I was pretty sure that the film would be more "Fargo" - like, a dark comedy with a quirky bunch of characters. This is not necessarily the end result of Shimmer Lake.
Cara AndersonPublished 7 years ago in GeeksMost Magical Harry Potter Creatures
When creating all of the magical Harry Potter creatures, J.K. Rowling drew inspiration from folklore and mythology. Most writers constructing a fictional universe (from J.R.R. Tolkien to George R.R. Martin) draw from reality. So, of course, Rowling had to base the Wizarding World on the real world – or, at least, the belief systems of the real world.
Miranda O'ConnerPublished 7 years ago in GeeksHorror Sub-Genre Classification
When critiquing horror movies, it’s important to remember all the different sub-genres of horror and the sub-genre from which a film is written. For instance, if you were looking for an emotional element, you would be disappointed watching a horror movie from the Campy sub-genre. This is a detailed classification of sub-genre to explain the elements you will need to focus on for critiquing.

Memes… When you stumble upon them, they can make you smile. They can make you laugh. Hell, they can make you laugh so hard, you cry. And, if they're really funny, they can make you laugh so hard, you fart - that's when you know you've hit the jackpot of all memes. The best of the best.

I have issues with the Kardashian clan on a good day, but even I was incredulous when I realized how bad things were getting, particularly with Rob and his ex Blac Chyna.
Christina St-JeanPublished 7 years ago in GeeksDeclan's Blurred Circle - A Review of "Knight Of Cups"
When you’re a director, making a unique and original product is walking a tightrope because more often than not, true attempts at real originality, especially in the world of filmmaking, can often result in movies that are both drastically flawed and utterly pretentious. And then there’s Terrence Malick. I’ll be completely honest. I didn’t know anything about Malick or his body of work prior to seeing Knight of Cups. I just knew that it would be an experimental movie. That really didn’t prepare me for the kind of experiment I was watching. And up until the very end, I found it to be a slow jog of discontinuous images and pieces of dialog, filmed exclusively at canted angles with a fish-eye lens while characters matter-of-factly stated their existential crises exclusively through whispers. It was disorienting and broke all the rules of conventional storytelling. There was no three act structure and a protagonist whose motivations seem rather paper thin and transparent on the surface.
