https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yoflr1Py25U Welcome back everyone to our review of Otherside Picnic. This week an excuse to indulge in the internet’s favorite past time and still call it productive. Joined as always by the great Irina. Do you enjoy kitties Irina? Also there’s a lot of chatter around the grapevine about WordPress making it easier to convert …

Be More Chill (K DAY 2020)

I will put my pants on for this musical because I think it’s pretty chill. I’m actually excited for the in-production film adaptation because either it will be the fun movie that I think it has the potential to be or a cringy dumpster fire that I can laugh at. Be More Chill takes your …

KonoSuba (K Day 2020)

I find Konosuba to be a pretty enjoyable character driven comedy. I think I had the advantage of watching both seasons of Konosuba consecutively as I could see some disappointment of anticipation the second season which is an underwhelming repetition of the same old shtick. Honestly, that’s framing it negatively when I found the characters …

In/Spectre (K DAY 2020)

Just going to be upfront and say I wasn’t a fan. It’s a shame because the animation looks visually compelling and conceptually it shows the potential to much better. I like the idea of the cultivation of mythos and paranoia ultimately bringing life and reality into urban legend. It reminds me of Under the Silver …

Hamilton (K DAY 2020)

Hamilton is a beautiful musical that took almost the mythical tale of the American founding fathers and given that history a new lens. What seems like an odd casting choice for the group of white political figures; actually becomes a resoundingly powerful message of how this is OUR HISTORY. Where racial division divides us, our …

River City Girls (K Day 2020)

WayForward is always just smoother controls away from making great games. I thoroughly enjoy the character designs and just how colorful and zany the world is. RC Girls turns classic beat‘em ups on its head and makes the combat a little bit more involved then expected. It’s cool until you encounter the nuisances of no …

Uncut Gems (K DAY 2020)

There’s something just truly original about a Safdie Brothers film experience. I don’t know if it is just the grimy subject material they cover or how they seem to work well with confined claustrophobic cinematography, but each film is just bottled up chaos. I don’t necessarily agree with Adam Sandler’s Oscar snub, don’t get me …

Avatar: The Last Airbender (K Day 2020)

You know what they say the only people who say they don’t like Avatar, have never watched it. Trust me Avatar will go right to your thighs and then you’ll blow up. It’s just the perfect balance of fantasy action, humor, morals, and storytelling. The amount of development and attention they give to every character …

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (K DAY 2020)

As the box office is dominated by Marvel, I find one of my favorite superheroes on the small screen. Marinette and Adrian are the French superheroes Ladybug & Cat Noir using their miraculous to save the day. It’s the modern-day magical girl show and it’s a good blend of Sailor Moon and Spider-Man. Both the …

You already read this intro, go check out part 1-4...please. Let's just get into it. My final guest in the Kappa Mikey review series is.... So I have to explain this one. It's really hard to characterize a blogger based on their social media accounts try it...it's not easy. Skully on Kitsu is known as …

Snoop a Peek at Agatha Christine: Next Door Spy

Concessions Confession: A wholesome tale that never feels anything exceptional but is a simple delight none the less. Log Line: Solving a simple convenient store robbery is an everyday case for child detective Agatha Christine. Making friends in a new neighborhood however, is not so simple. Did you know that Agatha Christie, famed fiction writer …

Is This Show Any Good? Kappa Mikey – Splashomon (FT. INIKSBANE)

Hey hey, you you out on the streets. Don't you see the man is Kappa K.! So I am going to try to keep this intro brief, but today we are reviewing the 2006 series Kappa Mikey which is an American cartoon that heavily parodies a bunch of anime. I know a bit of anime …

The Invisible Guest (REVIEW)

Concessions Confession: The Invisible Guest is everything you’d want in a mystery thriller, full of twists, deception, and tantalizing crime.  Following the contemporary thriller format of misdirection and making the ‘mystery’ itself what needs to be solve; The Invisible Guest might take its trickery too far but never stops being engaging. Log Line: Spanish businessman …

Scoob! Just Doesn’t Scooby-Doo it for Me!

In a nutshell: Scoob! ultimately lacks identity and constantly grapples with what to be. A barrage of homage to a beloved franchise while simultaneously showing no interest in the characters, mysteries, or heart that made it a classic to begin with. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo go on a modern adventure which apparently means joining up with …

An Unexpected Romance? Pandamonium (Part 2)

This is a review of the script Pandamonium and a document of my descent into madness trying to rationalize it. It is heavily encouraged you start with part 1. Thank you. Hi-Jinks Ensue Move over Disneyland we have a new happiest place on Earth! Synopsis: Bamboo fears Clara and Nick will get rid of him, …

A Tale of The Two Popes

A film that demonstrates a rich dichotomy between ideological differences can be considered as old as film itself. Yet, international director Fernando Meirelles (City of God, Blindness) delivers with his recent film The Two Popes in constructing the perfect paradox of a film that feels entirely timeless as well as crucially contemporary.

Survive Style 5+ :The Movie That Shouldn't Be

{This post was written by Irina of I Drink and Watch Anime as an April Fool's gag in which we swapped places for a day, she's a much more entertaining writer than me so I hope you enjoy!} Japanese live action cinema can be hit or miss. Unlike Korean cinema that had a resurgence a …

1917 – Mendes Plastic Bag on the Battlefield?

When it comes to 1917 I’m left wondering if people just read the press kit or if they actually went and sat through the entire movie. I thought 1917 maybe suffered from an incredibly unimaginable title but the real truth of the matter is what else was there to name it. The characters and plot …

Highlight Real – Kuroko’s Basketball Ep. 1-13 (Dude Sports Guy)

What's up guys, it's your dude, Dude Sports Guy. There's something that needs to be addressed (Is it that you're starting to establish six degrees of separation between your own personas and this level of dissociation is beginning to get concerning). Whatever that means... no. we need to talk about how the sports world as …

Kiki’s Delivery Service – A Taste of Something Familiar

How’s this for a cold open: Kiki’s Delivery Service has an astounding 97% on the good old Rotten Tomatoes. It has one rotten review that has it at a 2/4. This one negative review is from certainly an interesting critic; look no further than their 2016 Best & Worst Films. The same year that: Zootopia, …

The Lighthouse is a Film About…Nothing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77sS5IuR0Gs Why are we still here, just to suffer? Should I really be surprised that someone who thinks The Rise of Skywalker is a 10/10 hates this movie. As much as I love to ham up my frustrations, I do see why discontent for this film exists. On the surface, The Lighthouse is a film …

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie: Chaos Controlled?

I mean it’s only February so it might be too early for this but having vaguely positive remarks about Sonic the Hedgehog might be the most surprising review I write this year. Sonic the Hedgehog to me has just become this unruly beast of inherent cringe but it’s that reputation that has almost made the …

A Silent Voice That Needs to be Heard

"Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not."-Oscar Wilde I have this residing tinge of guilt, not caused by my actions but as consequence of my inaction. The truth is, in regard to fairness I have found myself unimaginably fortunate. It really is taken …

K at the Movies 2019 Review – Part 2

May Noteworthy followers: Unique Particle (Look at the Trees)Karandi (100 Word Anime)Terrance Crow (Crow's World of Anime)Scott (Mechanical Anime Reviews) May in retrospect was so wild I have a hard time believing that all of this happened in one month. The birth of shortcut my short film exploration series which is fun and different; something …

The Rise of Skywalker: A Desperate Plea For Attention

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the old Clone Wars, Grievous is trying to persuade Kenobi that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am …

Too Many Strange Christmas Guests? (X-Mas Special)

Christmas movies, there’s too many of them. I’m no Grinch or Christmas Scrooge it’s just there’s thousands of these flicks. For every Rudolph and Home Alone there’s hundreds of these cheap, silly, pandering, insipid, lazy, uninspired, and just downright stupid movies. As you can see from my past entries that I’ve found some interesting Christmas …

Twisting The Knife? Knives Out Review

Knives Out is a movie, and I saw it, and I recommend seeing it, I guess? Rian Johnson’s Whodunit murder mystery features an eccentric family and their fancy estate gained from the twisted murderous tales of Harlan Thrombey suddenly find themselves living in such a tale. A star-studded cast, a convoluted yet indulging mystery, and …

Frozen II: The Big Review (Part II)

The Villain of Frozen II After the great bamboozle that was Hans Christian Anderson being the villain of his own story, Frozen II figured there was only one twist that could top that…. there being no antagonist at all. The lurking evil wasn’t some mystical magical forest entity or some cosmic event. The real evil …

Frozen II: The Big Review

Frozen II is the most confused I’ve been at the movies all year, and it’s an odd beast to tango with. It is not a bad film by any means (I guess), but it also has me wondering “how did you fuck up this badly” (and with that line we are no longer family friendly, …

My ‘Doctor Sleep’ Drinking Games Will Kill You!

Doctor Sleep, maybe more like Doctor puts me to Sleep; maybe more like Doctor I Can’t Sleep That Child Torture Scene is Pretty Intense. Doctor Sleep is the third Stephen King cocaine induced fever dream turned into a theatrical release this year and this one is very fascinating to me. I feel it is appropriate …
