Anime Review: 'Violet Evergarden' (2018)
Violet Evergarden takes place on the continent of Telesis where a civil war was fought for years. There is practically no one that you will meet in this series who wasn't impacted by the war in some way or another. The first episode begins in a quiet hospital where a blonde girl is recuperating from injuries she sustained in one of the final battles of the war. She expects her direct commander to be waiting for her when she is finally discharged but instead she is greeted by a different officer.

Movie Review: 'Traffik'
Traffik stars Paula Patton and Omar Epps as Brea and John, a couple on the cusp of an engagement. As they head off for a romantic weekend at a far off mansion owned by their friend Darren (Laz Alonso) and his girlfriend Malia (Roselyn Sanchez), it appears quite certain that John will be popping the question, especially after he gifts the birthday girl, Brea, a 1969 Charger that he built himself.

Movie Review: 'Super Troopers 2'
Super Troopers 2 is about as good as the mediocre Broken Lizard comedy group could make it. Seventeen years after the original Super Troopers achieved a modest cult following for the shenanigans of the Vermont Highway Patrol, the group has reformed for a sequel filled with the same Bro-ey, self-satisfied mediocrity that made up the first film and somehow made Broken Lizard a commodity.

Movie Review: 'The Miracle Season'
Caroline "Line" Found was a young force of nature in her too short 17 years. When she was killed in an accident, it left her small community in Iowa City, Iowa, devastated, especially the members of her championship volleyball team. Nineteen-year-old Danika Yarosh gives us a wonderful sense of this inspiring young lady in a very brief amount of screen time. So good is Yarosh that I never minded the pushy emotionalism of The Miracle Season.

Movie Review: 'Isle of Dogs'
There is an unsuspecting smugness to just about everything Wes Anderson directs. I say unsuspecting as a way of giving benefit of doubt to the Isle of Dogs director, that perhaps the smugness is not a function of genuinely being an overly self-satisfied prat. It’s hard to say for sure though because everything Anderson directs has a similarly self-congratulatory quality; as if their very existence were a form of higher art than others.

How 'Rampage' Broke the Video Game Movie Curse
Source Material For starters, Rampage recognizes that it is an adaptation. It honors the spirit of the original video game, without being so beholden to it that there’s no room for necessary improvement. Some video games deliver an amazing narrative and complex plot—that doesn’t necessarily translate to the big screen well. If that were the case, the Warcraft movie would have been a lot better received. The climactic scene of George, Ralph, and Lizzie tearing through Chicago was very true to the video games. But, apart from that? Definitely different. And that worked for it.
