The Jabberer

There are many ways to distinguish a main character, but definitely the most bold is having an all (or mostly) pink wardrobe. Elle literally grabs your attention as soon as she enters the room. As if one fever dream within twenty-four hours wasn't enough, I for some reason decided that to compensate the blow to my mental state that Babe: Pig in the City inflicted upon me, some of my extended and immediate family should watch Legally Blonde the next morning. In retrospect not the best film to get myself grounded back to reality, but it's definitely an interesting film to watch. Essentially being a representation of the craziness of the late nineties, Legally Blonde feels like a portal to some sort of stereotypical other time, yet at the same time able to deliver a poignant message that anyone can benefit from. Legally Blonde is crazy yes, but it's strangely practical, a living contradiction between the zaniness of the action and the common sense of its messaging.

Despite going for only four hours,  The Darkness 2  certainly starts with a boom. It's a shame that they couldn't keep up that feeling. Maybe it would have been better as a demo. After finishing Dark Souls III , I figured that I needed something a bit more fast paced and energetic, so I decided to play The Darkness 2 , a game I've had for a long time but never played.  After playing it through its entire campaign though (all four hours of it), my feelings on it are definitely mixed somewhere in between mediocre but enjoyable and mediocre and a waste of an evening.  It's definitely more frantic than Dark Souls III (even on normal), offering all sorts of carnage and horror movie fun, but the paper-thin and short story, awkward controls, and general feeling of lifelessness really killed any enjoyment (ironic or otherwise) that I got from playing The Darkness 2 .  Normally I'd do the first game before covering the second, but since the first is a console exclusive

This duck/goose is always in a power stance throughout the film, it's incredible. Can you feel the threat radiating off of him?  Babe: Pig in the City is the 1998 sequel to 1995's Babe , about a piglet with a heart of gold, and suffice to say, it is even more surreal than the premise would imply.  Directed by George Miller for some reason, it's an odyssey in surrealism.  My road towards watching this film was paved with urgent pleas for me to see this film "about the soul of America, a tale of two cities" from my brother and our aunt.  After half a year of badgering, I finally consented to seeing it, and boy was it weird, and I didn't really find much enjoyment in it.  In short, Babe: Pig in the City is nothing short of a surreal fever dream filled (literally) to the brim with heart, despair, talking animals, and a duck(goose?) in a power stance. Really all you need to know about the film's plot comes from the title.  It continues the tale of how

I hope you're comfortable with feeling like you were too late to save anyone, because that's literally who you are in this. The feeling doesn't hurt any less as the game goes on. I finally sat down to play Dark Souls III again over my spring break, expecting my run to end in much the same way of my other attempts to play the series, but then the unexpected happened: I managed to complete it.  I didn't just complete the game, I also beat both of the DLC adventures ( Ashes of Ariendel and The Ringed City ) and actually had a good deal of fun while doing so.  I could not believe that after so many failed attempts and curses that I'd someday manage to beat it, but I suppose dreams and persistence pays off.  It was a truly unique experience for me, not just due to the intense satisfaction of surmounting such an obstacle, but also due to a genuinely compelling story, full of meaning and significance.  In hindsight if I had known that I'd finish a Dark Souls ga

Noticing a few weeks ago that a whole heap of  Scooby-Doo  content was added to Netflix, I was pretty excited, since  Scooby-Doo  was undeniably my favorite television show as a kid. However, they didn’t just add two of the shows ( What’s New Scooby-Doo?  and  Mystery Incorporated  respectively), they also added arguably the best of the  Scooby-Doo  films:  Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island . Though it remains a great film for children (it’s actually a great film for safely exposing kids to the horror genre without going full force), it’s by no means perfect, and the film definitely shows age and even an occasional lack of foresight in regard to the story. So, watch now as I attempt to be vaguely objective with a film that I very much love.   This shot basically makes the movie, and despite being PG zombies they're still pretty scary, especially for kids. I assume that almost everyone has seen or at least heard of  Scooby-Doo , but I’ll give a brief summary of the basic ideas
