Persona (1966) Review
It is true that part of the reason I chose this film is that it shares its title with a song (and album) that I enjoy. But also, psychology is something I find fascinating. I don’t think I could handle a full course in it, but I do enjoy learning about it and occasionally theorising with friends (or friend).

My Review of "Animal World"
Animal World is a really odd movie that me and my brother decided to watch out of a misunderstanding. The description of the movie sounded like a comedy so we were expecting a full out comedy. Alas it turned out to be something totally different from what we had expected. We honestly thought it was going to be a Stephen Chow type of comedy akin to the God of Gamblers series. When I explain it you'll realize why.

An Anime Review of 'Dorohedoro'
Dorohedoro is an anime that is produced by studio MAPPA, and is based on the manga that ran from 2000 till 2018. The concept of the show is quite intriguing as it revolves around a man with a lizard head who is trying to find the person that cursed him so that he could reverse the spell. The caveat is that he does not remember anything from before the point he had his lizard head. This is Kaiman, and he is assisted by his friend Nikaido in his search for said magic user. What unravels is a fever dream that is both intriguing, and a fun time that will more often than not put a smile on your face.

Be sure that you know who is babysitting your children. They could be a psycho.

Catching the attention of a man across the way in the hotel, he walks into one of the most bizarre evenings of his life.

Y’all Seen Neil Breen’s ‘Twisted Pair’?
I like to think that the two best directors on the planet are Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. However, when it comes down to it, Neil Breen has the upper hand. He uses better special effects and has a more engaging plotline in most of his movies than Wiseau. The pinnacle of that expertise has got to be Twisted Pair.

My Review of "Transformers: War for Cybertron Season 1"
Transformers: War for Cybertron was announced not too long ago and when they did the excitement for the series was at an all time high. I guess you can say people are still excited about it but it really depends who you're talking to. I can tell this series plays out to pander to fans of the original TV series from the 80s and that's not a bad thing. The thing is, it's not necessarily a great thing either.

My Review of "An American Pickle
An American Pickle is a much needed new film to come out during this pandemic. It seems that there are so few movies and we're all looking for something new and luckily HBO has been listening. Although this isn't necessarily the most polished movie out there, I found that it had a few interesting themes.

Aladdin - A Movie Review
For my first wish, I want to take a ride on the flying carpet and see the world. Aladdin is a 1992 Animated Disney film about a poor boy living on the streets who falls in love with the princess. Aladdin is given an opportunity to make his dreams come true upon finding a magical lamp with a genie. Is lying worth it for love?

The SpongeBob Anime is a Delight
Well then. This was a review I never thought I’d be writing anytime soon. I should start by saying that I’m a huge advocate for independent and fan-made content; as an avid fanfiction writer for years now, I understand the motivation and passion to create something out of love for the original work. Many incredible creators out there most likely would not be doing their original work right now if they hadn’t got their start making fanfiction, fanart, fan music, et cetera. One reason why I’m still fascinated by this type of derivative content is that it’s sometimes astounding how creative others can get with the existing property; watching videos, reading stories, or looking at art that depict the property’s characters and worlds can introduce the audience to entirely new perceptions and interpretations of those characters that they might never have considered otherwise. They oftentimes take on a life of their own, enough so that their own mini-fandoms can spawn and create fanworks inspired by that original fanwork. It really is amazing to me, seeing this kind of creativity that expands on the original work’s world in ways I could never have imagined on my own.
