A Review of Color out of Space
It took me by surprise to hear that there has been a remake and modern adaption of HP Lovecraft's story, Color out of Space. It's not the first time and not the last try to adapt HP Lovecraft's stories. But none that have worked to at least have at least a neutral review. Most of the movies that are adapted go right for Cthulhu (and unfortunately that's a huge chunk of failed attempts).

'Scoob!' Review—Unbearably Awful
You and I should be grateful for films such as this—how else would we understand the definition of "torture"? Tony Cervone directs Scoob!, an animated adventure comedy about the Scooby-Doo gang as they embark on a new adventure with a superhero named Blue Falcon, as they try to stop a villain named Dick Dastardly. Before I review this film, I want to clarify that my knowledge of Scooby-Doo is minimal, as I have not seen it before this movie. Having said that, I can still say—

My Review of "Death Wish (2018)"
Death Wish is a remake of a 1974 movie of the same name. I have to say that I haven't seen a good revenge movie for quite a while. When this movie first came out I was actually really interested in watching it. Unfortunately the early reviews of this movie were very unfavorable. I was a sheep and blindly believed their reviews. I have been burned by reviews before so I thought I'd check it out. This might not be the best revenge movie I've ever seen but I actually liked it.

JoJo Rabbit Review
If your Taika Waititi and you've just had your biggest commercial and critical hit of your career with 'Thor:Ragnorok' then you can pretty much tell Hollywood what you want to do next and Taika wanted to make a comedy about a young German boy at the end of World War 2 and his imaginary friend Hitler.

Film Review - Jojo Rabbit (12)
Ten-year-old German boy Johannes ‘Jojo’ Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) has grown up in Nazi Germany idolising Adolf Hitler. But when he discovers his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is harbouring Jewish girl Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie) in their home, his outlook begins to change — to the dismay of his Führer-shaped imaginary friend (Taika Waititi).

My Review of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix"
X-Men: Dark Phoenix came out last year but I never got a chance to watch it. To be honest I feel like a sheep because I listened to reviews and lost any anticipation for the movie. After seeing this movie I really don't see why it got such horrible ratings. It isn't that bad of a movie but it isn't that great of a movie either. Maybe people have preconceived notions of how this movie should have been.

Death Note Review: Anime vs. Live Action (2006)
Death Note was my first anime, and still the one that has me thinking the most long after viewing it. Sure, it may be considered "entry level" to some of the more proficient anime fans, but I think that's one of the things that makes it awesome. Because you don't really need an understanding of anime or anime tropes to "get" it. Plus, it's full of twists, turns, and awesome characters. To me, that's a pretty solid TV show--anime or not.
