Baby Driver Review
If there’s one word that encapsulates Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, his latest dynamite of a film, it’s giddy. You want to ballpark other words? Sure. Let’s go with thrilling, joyful, heart racing, tender, toe-tapping, white knuckle. Hell, let’s throw Bullitt crossed with an iPod and a playlist that your annoyingly hipster friend wishes they thought of first. It’s a palette cleanser, a blast of sheer, pulsating fun. It’s a movie movie, where the characters positively relish purring the title character’s name as if they’re in a cheesy 50s road race flick. Where the music beats are at once surprising and such a natural fit to the on-screen action (only Wright could make Barry White’s Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up the perfect face-off track in a diner).

Spider-Man: Younger Does Not Mean Better.
So currently, I've been reading articles and reviews and comments about the newest addition to the Spider-Man franchise and I have been more than slightly irritated about them. Since his appearance in Civil War, he has been dubbed "the best and absolute perfect casting for Spider-Man," before his solo movie has even been released and even if it is true, it isn't fair to state things like that as a matter of fact, because the truth of the matter is, he's a third try at a franchise that has never really failed in their first movie.

Eminem Show Review
Opening Opinion: 9.3/10 It’s no secret that The Eminem Show, released back in 2002, is my favorite Eminem album. I actually only bought it about 3 years ago. I know, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I had a bootleg copy of the album before that. This is the album where Em seemed to come to grips with his superstardom.

What's Right and Wrong with the New Live-Action Death Note!
Just mere months ago, the first trailer for the new live-action Death Note movie was released onto YouTube by Netflix. Not too long after the release, we started to see a love/hate relationship with the teaser, and that's to be expected. Yes, there was some great stuff in the teaser trailer (Ryuk mostly), but there were also some things that we didn't agree with entirely. Now before we get into this list, I just wanna say that while yes, we as anime fans do have a rough history with film adaptations *COUGH* Dragon Ball *COUGH*, I actually do see potential and have hope in this live-action adaptation! So with that being said, let's get right into the list!

Adventures in Babysitting Turns 30
This weekend a minor 80’s gem turns 30 years old with little fanfare but plenty of positive memories, especially for young girls. Adventures in Babysitting is a lovely little 80’s nostalgia piece that, though some of its unintended politics haven’t aged well, the film’s silly little heart was always in the right place and that’s more than can be said about most 80’s teen comedies.
