Pokemon Sun and Moon (The Series)

As a long time Pokemon fan I decided to check out Pokemon Sun and Moon. I have to admit at first the new art style kinda bummed me out. Ash looked weird and so did team rocket. The story is also a bit weird with Mr. Mime clearly cheating to win Ash and his mom tickets to the Alola region. Speaking of which I have some serious questions about the relationship between Ash’s mom and Mr. Mime.

All that aside the basic story isn’t bad. Ash attends a school for kids because we all know ash has been 12 for 20 years now. The issue is after 43 episodes he spent most of his time at the school. On occasion they would leave to check out a different island and he does get through a couple of the challenges. But the entire series is mostly just watching him go to school. The true greatness comes in episode 42 and 43 is when they return to the Kanto reason for those episodes.

This also brings the return of Misty and Brock to meet the new crew and hang out with Ash, where you will also see Ash and Misty battle with Misty having a Mega Evolution now. The series isn’t bad, it is just quite a bit different. Tho to me it did feel like the worst in the series. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Glass trailer 2

I’ve become a huge fan of this series over the past year after loving Split and Unbreakable and I’m glad this trailer shows a lot more of Mr Glass. I like the idea presented of the Beast being an anti-hero sort of character; I think the showdown between Dunn and Beast will be epic as hell. This movie is shaping up to be a awesome trilogy ender and I’m still super pumped for it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorite Movies Day 11: IT (2017)

It (2017) Yes I will say it, feel free to hate me. IT 2017 is far better than the original. I thought this when I checked out 2017 in the theaters, but recently I went back and watched the original and it was legitimately painful to watch. 2017 made this list for being both a great movie and a movie that surprised me most recently. I thought this movie was going to be horrible. From the fact it would be split in 2 to not Tim being Pennywise made this a recipe for a bad movie. What we got however was an amazing movie any horror fan would be doing themselves a disservice skipping. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Like we have been doing lately, here is a link to Amazon where you can purchase this movie. It helps us as well as gets you the movie. It 2017 on Amazon

Pet Sematary trailer

I wasn’t expecting a trailer so soon after images were released of the new Church, which kind of creepy considering he looks like my friends cat. The book and original movie for Pet Sematary is one of my favorite horror story. That being said, the original film was pretty damn close to the book so I can’t think of many ways it can get closer. The thing about the kids with animal masks is weird and while the cast is good, I can’t help but think it feels too Hollywood. Also, the jump scare with the truck made me groan. I cant say shit though because I was one of those people who originally said the IT remake was going to blow, so I’m going to keep an open mind. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Joe Rogan: Strange Times (2018)

download (4)

Joe Rogan is back with his rather brash brand of comedy. This time around he will attack such topics as mens activist, cats being psychotic murderers and the fact that a woman invented the dishwasher and a man invented the tampon. Both of these are true by the way. Dishwasher was invented by Josephine Cochrane and the tampon by Earle Haas. Another story he tells is about a girl giving a BJ, getting stabbed which somehow results in her becoming pregnant and having a kid 9 months later by C-section because she has no vagina. Also a true story, I checked.

He of course tells these stories in a much more fun way but I am just saving you the time of googling it like I did. This one definitely  comes recommended. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorite Movies Day 10:Birds(1963)

Alfred Hitchcock made quite the simple movie here. Birds for some reason attack people. The magic of this movie is that we have all seen birds just hanging out, and I dare you to watch this movie and not wonder if those birds sitting on your cloths line or power line are going to kill someone.

That is why this classic is on the list for me. It was probably the first horror movie I have seen that made me think in the real world this stuff could happen. And I know @torstenvblog in real life, we hang out and drink together, and have worked together at real life jobs. The dude is semi afraid of birds and I mean that legitimately. Not like outside terrified of them, but he got one in his house and me and 2 other friends had to go over to his house and get them out. His reasoning was he saw Birds. That is a 100% true story that happened this summer, and that is why this movie deserves to be on the list. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

5 movies Pg-13 killed.

pg13

After Venom I started recalling many movies that shared a similar problem- how neutered they felt because of a Pg-13 rating. Movies like The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises did wonders with it, but there are simply some movies that need a all or nothing approach like we need water to live, so in no particular order, since we were on the subject let’s begin with …

venom 2018  1. Venom-

The most recent offender on this list, Venom was clearly supposed to be R rated. I’m not saying drop the F bomb profusely or it needed nude shots but I feel some of the gore could have stayed and a more disturbing graphicness regarding Brock fighting the creature would have added weight to a meh movie.

spawn 2. Spawn/ Spawn: origins –

This is a obvious cash grab but a real dumb idea. Spawn is pretty much Pinhead from Hellraiser and the Punisher in one edgy, brutal package. How in the f$ck is that Pg-13?

suicide sqaud 3. Suicide Squad –

Structurally this movie follows much the same pattern as John Carpenter’s Escape from New York- which wasn’t pg-13 either- and involves some pretty heavy DC bad guys as it’s main protagonists. I wished they kept the initial darker tone and stopped trying to be fun and trendy and let it be the violent, maniacal,  dark comedy it was meant to be.

dark tower movie 4. The Dark Tower –

Welcome back Sony! I wanted to take a break from superhero movies even though Sony tried like hell to make this one to build the King cinematic universe. This hurt because they are my favorite books and a lot of what makes them R rated is what makes them so unique.

wolverine origins 5. X Men Origins: Wolverine –

This is arguably one of the worst superhero movies ever made. Wolverine has a gritty, violent bloody history full of war and slaughter- the man is a bladed, nearly indestructable murder machine for crying out loud…well, at least we have Logan

 

Well that is my list of 5 movies that killed by the pg-13 rating. I do feel I’m missing something, something that has burned me awful so here is a bonus 6th entry and may the gaming gods save these poor movies…

avp 6. Alien Vs Predator-

Well the tagline doesn’t lie, we do surely lose. How in the fuck does a movie full of chest bursting aliens and warriors that notoriously rip spines out of people and blast holes through people get a pg-13 rating? It’s not good when a 12 year old kid says this shit aint right.

Supernatural Season 13

download

Supernatural Season 13 deals with the son of Lucifer, Jack. Sam and Dean will travel across dimensions to save Jack and their mother Mary from a dimension where Sam and Dean were never born and the apocalypse was never stopped. The race itself is rather interesting since Lucifer wants to save his son simply because he is the most powerful entity in the universe besides God and his Sister. In fact Jack can even create new angels, which is why Heaven wants him so badly.

The issue is while in the apocalypse world their archangel Michael decides he wants to come to our world and take over since his world is kind of a hell hole. See their Michael is a lot like our Lucifer in the sense that he just wants to rule everything and doesn’t much care who gets hurt in the process. Season 13 is great but it does have its high and low moments. The end of it however is worth the entire trip. Obviously I won’t spoil it for you, but we get to see a few things come full circle from far earlier seasons that most people probably didn’t really expect. I am very much looking forward to season 14, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Gotham season 5 trailer

Despite how much I love Batman I would love Gotham but I’ve never really liked much of what I’ve seen from it. I was impressed at the amount of villain cameos I saw like Firefly, Scarecrow, Riddler, Mr Freeze, and Mad Hatter to name a few. I’m not a fan of the idea of Bruce Wayne being really young. The final season looks pretty good and for the fans I hope its a good send off. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorite Movies Day 9: Jason Goes To Hell

Jason goes to Hell: the Final Friday Is our day 9 favorite horror movie. It is also another movie that is a damn liar when it comes to the title. Tho this movie made the list because for me the ending was iconic and was really our first confirmation that a Freddy Vs Jason (Jason’s side) would actually happen. Just seeing Freddy’s hand rip Jason’s mask down to hell to me was amazing. Me and friends used to debate as kids who would, and that was the first time we saw them together in any capacity. The movie itself was also pretty solid but the ending? That secures it a place from me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
