In Defense of "Romance"
In Defense of “Romance”
I have a confession. For some of you it may be a big one, and for others it’s no biggie at all. But I feel like this secret has been weighing on me so much the past few years that I should get it all out in the open and in public. Don’t worry: I didn’t commit a crime and I’m not bankrupt! Here we go: for the past few years, I have become a voracious reader of ROMANCE. Ugh, so good to get that off…

“Kiznaiver” is “The Breakfast Club” of Anime
“Kiznaiver” is “The Breakfast Club” of Anime
I’m back, baby. Every season, a new crop of anime is tossed onto the scene (and the internet), appealing to new fans and old with original stories or adaptations of other work. The anime cycle is similar to Hollywood, offering up potential new series’ in hopes of garnering enough interest and capital for future seasons. However, there are some studios out there that take the leap with a one-shot…

Laika Strikes Stop-Motion Gold Again with “Kubo”
Laika Strikes Stop-Motion Gold Again with “Kubo”
Decades ago, people marveled at the simplicity and beauty of hand-drawn animation. In the mid-90s, computer generated images wowed audiences, and proved that a feature-length film could be achieved using only computer programming and some design savvy (“Toy Story”). Animation continues to push the boundaries of the medium, not just in CGI story-telling, but with recalls to hand-drawn animation,…

Looking for a Weird Time? "Mirror in the Sky"
Looking for a Weird Time? “Mirror in the Sky”
Hey readers! I wrote an in-depth of Mirror in the Sky by Aditi Khorana over on Plotworm, and boy that book was a doozy. What starts off as a familiar plot to your usual dystopian YA, suddenly changes into an introspective look at the cusp of adulthood. There’s an alternate Earth, people changing their fates, and other people who can’t escape their destinies. I’m not your typical reader of YA and…

A Whole New Vibe with "Last Call"
A Whole New Vibe with “Last Call”
Every once in awhile, it’s fun to see someone break the mold. For the genre of urban fantasy, I’d always seen the shelves stocked with plenty of detective series’ to shake a fedora at. So, when new author Paul Krueger decides to shake things up and throw some booze magic into the mix, I sit up and listen. His debut novel Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge is an awesome curveball into the genre,…

How "Spotlight" Strengthened My Beliefs
How “Spotlight” Strengthened My Beliefs
If you were watching the Academy Awards this past February, you may have been just as surprised as I was that it wasn’t “The Revenant” that swept the Big One, even after winning Best Actor and Best Director. Instead, the top prize of Best Picture went to “Spotlight”, a quieter film about the investigative team behind the exposé of pedophile Catholic priests in Boston. My jaw actually dropped open…

"Small Town Witch": A New Frontier in Graphic Novels
“Small Town Witch”: A New Frontier in Graphic Novels
When I first got my hands on a copy of Small Town Witch, I honestly couldn’t believe it. I had been following the work of Alex Singer and Jayd Aït-Kaci for years, and finally I had something tangible of theirs in my hands. A real book. A real graphic novel of their own style and their own design. When I had first heard of the project, I was baffled that I had not run across their Kickstarter to…

Hello readers! I disappeared, but I have not given up on this blog! But in the meantime, I wanted to let you all know that I am also blogging on other sites as well. It’s more spiffy content to tickle your pop-culture-funny-bone. Plotworms I started this new site with some friends of mine, and it will be very similar to this one. However, it will be more focused on introducing readers to what we…

Don’t Believe the Critics: We Need More Warcraft
Don’t Believe the Critics: We Need More Warcraft
People have been panning “Warcraft” for all the wrong reasons. All those clickbait titles, “Sorry, It’s Bad”, “Don’t See It”, “They Failed Again,” are complete BS. What these critics did wrong is go into this movie with the wrong mindset. Whether you want to blame it on certain expectations, superhero fatigue, or just pandering to fans of the game, all of these bad reviews are unfortunately going…

Hosoda Over Disney: What I Want My Children to See
Hosoda Over Disney: What I Want My Children to See
I can imagine my parents growing up, thinking that Disney films were pretty cool. That great studio was practically unchallenged in the art of animation, and turned age-old stories into timeless classics that were forever enshrined in the countless VHS tapes of family homes. But it didn’t really hit me until now, that I am now the same age that my parents were when they had me. I can imagine they…

What’s This?! A Peter Pan/Alice in Wonderland Crossover?
What’s This?! A Peter Pan/Alice in Wonderland Crossover?
It seems that Hollywood can’t get enough of reboots, and Disney is one of the worst offenders out there. However, compared to how the other studios are faring, Disney has been striking a chord with their audience. Their choice of reboots have been their most successful or classic properties, such as “The Jungle Book” and “Cinderella”. They also took a gamble with “Maleficent” and “Pete’s Dragon”…

“Haikyuu!!” Gives Me Life and This is Why
“Haikyuu!!” Gives Me Life and This is Why
For most of my life, sports-themed anime was some of the most boring content I’d ever seen. Most of the old-school stuff was hardly engaging, and I couldn’t help but want something more. Something flashy or exciting. Sports anime also tend to follow the same tropes, of underdogs trying to get an edge in an overly-competitive sport, beat their one and only rival, or overcome some mental obstacle,…

Dream Casting: “Artemis Fowl”
Dream Casting: “Artemis Fowl”
Shows how much I pay attention to book adaptation news! While rumors of an “Artemis Fowl” film adaptation have been circulating for what seems like centuries, apparently Disney is helming the project, and they snagged Kenneth Branagh this past September as director. I recently saw his rendition of “Cinderella” so I doubt he’ll have any problems with the fantasy aspect. The “Artemis Fowl” movie…

Top 5 Books That Messed Me Up As a Kid
This post should actually be titled “Top 5 Books That Messed Me Up as a Kid But Influenced My Growth as a Reader”, but it was too long. I’m sure everyone can count on one hand the books that they read as a child that have stayed with them well into adulthood. You don’t have to be a frequent reader, or a famous writer, or even college educated to have this list. Everyone can name at least one book…

The 7 Most Shocking and Emotional Moments in "Morning Star"
The 7 Most Shocking and Emotional Moments in “Morning Star”
The reason I haven’t posted much about my feelings on Morning Star is due in large part to my new placement on the floor of my bedroom, curled into the fetal position and crying “It’s over? Wait, IT’S OVER??” But with Pierce Brown’s recent admission that a new trilogy set in Darrow’s new world order is coming in my lifetime, I emerge newly refreshed and ready to share. Now that I’ve fully…

Most Underrated Movies: “Confessions” (Kokuhaku)
David Fincher is hard to replicate, let alone found in another director with a style even remotely similar to his work. His iconic dark imagery, noir overtones, long, foreboding camera shots, and artistic license has garnered millions of fans worldwide. However, over in Japan, a director named Tetsuya Nakashima seems to have done just that with his 2010 film, “Confessions (Kokuhaku)”. The…
