'Goblin Slayer'
My manga library has been limited in the past few years with me not venturing too far from the tried and tested selection I like. I tend to stick to the likes of Berserk and Battle Vixens to get my fix. They offer the right amount of sex, violence and quality artwork expected of a manga. The Japanese don't pull their punches when it comes to the brutality of reality in their comics which is the same for the above books. If someone gets killed in a nasty fashion, you're going to see it in every panel. While Western comics steer relatively clear of the more grotesque crimes; the Japanese tend to embrace it. Which brings me to the subject of my interest for today which the infamous manga Goblin Slayer.

My Review of 'The Upside'
The Upside has been out for quite some time so it's even surprising to me that it took me this long to watch it since I was a fan of the original French version called Intouchables. I know a lot of people harping on this movie because it's a remake of a great French movie. It really is a good movie because I watched it in French and I really enjoyed it. This is why I was curious about how Hollywood would translate this movie for an American audience.

'After'
Robert Massimi. After is a brilliantly written and directed play at the 59 East 59th Street Theater. Written by Michael Mc Keever (Daniel's Husband), the play is a non stop 90-minute intermission-less high octane performance.

'Captain Marvel:' A Fanboy Reviews
A not-so surprising amount of controversy has arisen out of this film, and it seems to be for the sake of causing controversy. I don't see the foundation for calling this movie terrible just because the main character is a woman, but I also understand that Brie Larson has been somewhat provoking it. Her moves are also understandable because these are conversations that need to be had for the world to progress. However, I'm not here to comment on it. I just want to review the film.

'Captain Marvel' Review: Spoiler Free
Captain Marvel hit theaters this last weekend. It was well worth the wait and the hype. There has been a lot of negativity surrounding this movie before and after its release. I am here to say this movie is phenomenal. It is an absolute thrill ride that introduces us to the newest Avenger and probably the future face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is going to be quick as this is going to be spoiler free and that reduces the content and depth I can go into how good this movie is. I will post a spoiler review that I will talk about how this affects the MCU as well as my theory on how Captain Marvel will aid in the fight against Thanos. Ok so let's get to it!

'Captain Marvel' Review
Alright... So Captain Fine Ass, I mean Captain Gorgeousness, NO! CAPTAIN MARVEL! There we go, Captain Marvel is a pretty good movie. I went to see, it despite all of the hate or "controversy" it's getting because it's Marvel and I obviously know about the character but not an awful lot. She's no Wonder Woman but still, I think she's pretty awesome.

My Review of Disney's 'Christopher Robin'
Obviously, I know who Winnie the Pooh is. I know the character, but I haven't ever seen a Winnie the Pooh movie in its entirety. Neither have I ever read any of the Winnie the Pooh books. I do know that this is a live action version of what was once known as a cartoon. I definitely did not have any intentions of watching this movie.

My Review of 'The Road to El Dorado'
I actually forgot about the movie, The Road to El Dorado, a long time ago. After all, it was released nineteen years ago. My girlfriend said she remembered liking it back a long time ago. I remembered it differently. There was a ton of advertisements for this movie when it first came out and it looked interesting back in the day.

Swords and Celluloid
Wolfgang Petersen, like the Ancient Greek tragedians before him, was inspired by the events of The Iliad and elements of the Trojan War cycle in order to create his epic film, rather than doing an adaptation of the work. Euripides used the scene in which Andromache mourns her slain husband when he wrote Trojan Women, an antiwar drama that used the Trojan War as a backdrop to expose his audience to the horrors of the Peloponnesian War, and would later be made into a film during the height of the Vietnam War.
