My Hero Academia: Vigilantes 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 The My Hero Academia prequel, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, is finally getting an anime, and its premiere is almost here. Based on the trailers alone, Vigilantes seems like just the kind of revamp the franchise needed, both visually and narratively, and given the success of the original anime, there's every reason for Vigilantes to be just as exciting, if not more so. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes will stream new episodes weekly on Crunchyroll, which can be accessed through the app, its website, or third-party sites like Amazon Prime. While no exact streaming time has been provided, Episode 1 will premiere in Japan on Monday, April 7 at 11:00 PM JST. Depending on the time zone, this means that Episode 1 of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes will premiere on Monday, April 5, at approximately 7:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST), and 3:00 PM British Summer Time (BST).   Creators: Hideyuki Furuhashi, Kôhei Horikoshi Stars: Jun'ichi Suwabe, Kenta Miy...

Guna Guna Istri Muda 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Guna Guna Istri Muda is an Indonesian supernatural horror film recently released on Netflix for a global audience, though I find it a bit confusing as to why it was made. While most Indonesian horror films don't live up to global or Asian standards, many offer us a brief glimpse into the life and culture of the island nation, no matter how imperfect or outdated that glimpse may be. Unfortunately, Guna Guna Istri Muda doesn't even achieve this, as it tells the uninteresting story of a young wife who curses her new husband out of greed for his wealth, and is a film everyone should avoid. Guna Guna Istri Muda begins in a gym, where a group of women are seen dancing as part of their workout routine. Among them are two best friends, Angel and Mayang, who are extremely close to each other and share everything about their lives. After training, Angel excitedly meets her new boyfriend, Leo, and while Mayang is happy for her friend, a third woman in the group, also close to them, is a l...

Devil May Cry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 A few weeks ago, I was watching a video essay from a YouTube channel called DanBoyWonder titled "The Lost Art of Action Cartoons!" which basically said that we don't have action-oriented shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Ben 10, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teen Titans, Swat Kats, Gargoyles, Samurai Jack, Justice League, etc. anymore. He was arguing that recent reboots of older animated shows or the general landscape of American-made animated shows is really bland.  He said that things like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Invincible are decent, but not as amazing as the stuff from the good old days. And you know what? I almost agreed with him. But then I realized that any discussion of the current state of American animation is incomplete without mentioning the work that Adi Shankar and his collaborators have done in this space. Castlevania's four-season run is spectacular. In a year filled with disastrous second adventures, Castlevania: Nocturne blew ...

Test 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 I love talking about movies with something to say. Regardless of their quality, I always find the process of peeling back the layers of the narrative and getting to the inspiring idea that gave rise to a film. Because what's the point of telling a story if it's not relevant or engagingly educational? Even films that are often considered "plotless" make a point of not pressuring the audience to care about the narrative and letting them go with the flow, because they understand how overwhelming life is and that sometimes people need a break.  But more often than not, storytellers engage the audience on an emotional level so we can get beyond the genre norms, the visual effects, the clichés, and other cinematic trappings and truly understand their point of view. And sometimes, this very exercise elevates what initially seemed like a "bad" movie into something, at the very least, enjoyable. The only movies I hate are those that have nothing substantial to say a...

825 Forest Road 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 Horror movies have always used ghosts, vampires, zombies, and the most grotesque monsters imaginable to speak to something personal to the narrator or a larger social issue. Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was about immigration. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the 1956 film) was about fascism. The Exorcist was about religion. Even Jason Goes to Hell: Last Friday was about familial ties.  That said, while there used to be some balance between subject matter and gore, with emerging filmmakers spending their limited budgets on the latter to at least give audiences some cheap thrills, the rising popularity of so-called "elevated horror" has shifted the balance. We now have low-budget horror films that spend their money "enhancing" their social commentary instead of investing it in gaudy special effects and disastrous visuals. Sure, there are exceptions like Terrifier, Mad God, and Psycho Goreman, but there are an overwhelming number of projects trying to mimic the succ...
