Why the Live Action Beauty and the Beast Fell Short
I am all about the characters. I can get by bad music, bad costumes, bad plot, and even bad dialogue if I am invested enough in the characters. So, this will be focusing on some of the characters in the movie and how the changes to their character contributed to the live action falling short of the original animated version of the movie; rather than focusing on the plot changes, auto-tune/pitch correcting, or the costume design (like Emma's refusal to wear a corset or the very expensive, though kind of mediocre--in my opinion--yellow dress).

Vampire fans: time to switch sides!
Are you part of the supernatural fantasy world? Fallen in love with a vampire or two? Then why not switch sides! I think you will really like this series where I am gladly presenting you two brothers, two hunters that keep the supernatural beings in place.

Coming 2 America
Sequels have always been seen as an easy way to make money in Hollywood. Even before the seventies penchant for adding a number to the end of a title to denote it being a sequel, Hollywood and the wider film industry were producing sequels, rehashing and reusing the same characters of a successful story in another film.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1 Anime Review Based on the popular and action-packed manga, created by Koyoharu Gotōge and published by Weekly Shonen Jump. The story of Demon Slayer revolves around a young boy named Tanjiro Kamado and his sister, Nezuko. After discovering his family has been butchered by a demon and Nezuko turned into one of these horrid creatures, Tanjiro vows to become a demon slayer to learn how to turn his sister back into a human. Developed by UFOtable, the anime studio drafted the series with stunning visuals, making it unarguably one of the best anime of the last few years.

My Review of "Signs"
Signs came out back in 2002. It was probably at the height of M. Night Shyamalan's popularity in the early 2000's. I have to say I was one of the few people that actually really liked this movie when it first came out. There was a lot to like it and I was curious if I would have the same reaction watching this movie almost 20 years later.

Ocean's Eleven, But Make It Spanish
Picture this: It's 2001, "Ocean's Eleven" has just been released and everybody is talking about it. You've got Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon all in one film so the female demographic is bound to swoon. You've got Julia Roberts for the guys. Add in Don Cheadle and his terrible British accent and the fact that the plot centres around a $150 million money heist from three casinos, and bon appetit!
