Tekken: Blood Vengeance Review

This picture actually sums up the movie quite nicely

Recently Namco-Bandai has taken a step into the movie department and make a CGI movie based off their Tekken franchise. Now obviously, going in, there are various thoughts in my head like 'Iknow this won't be a great movie, but I at least expect pretty visuals and some good fights. That's what Tekken is all about!' Well once the credits began rolling, I find myself partially right in those thoughts. Is this game-based movie enjoyable?

Forced Continuation Disease

So after my article on the best of Metal Gear Solid, I got to admit that I had a bit of trouble thinking about what to review next and while I have a good number of ideas, one movie in particular came to mind. I won't say specifically which, but lets say it has to do with some old series that I used to enjoy, but as it went on, my love for the series deteriorate at a great rate. It doesn't help that I'm thinking about this in the shower of all places, but nevermind that.

The reason the series seemed to deteriorate was after it contracted what I like to call the 'forced continuation disease'. What is force continuation disease or FCD for short? The concept centers around a fairly good and enjoyable series, such as for instance, Naruto, that starts off fairly strong, only to be controlled by a demand by the fans for more and as a result, it goes down in quality.

Spoilers abound for a few series, so readers beware.

Favorite Movies to watch around Halloween

Halloween has come and gone, but that's only the first of many major holidays to come.... okay, really just two major ones with Halloween and Christmas, but there are plenty of tiny ones inbetween all the commotion and it's just nice to go through the late fall into the early winter. To celebrate, two articles, including this one, will be talking about my personal favorite movies to watch around the holiday season. In this article, we'll be talking about Halloween movies!

Now take note that I haven't seen a lot of horror movies, like Friday the 13th or even some cult classics like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also, this is my personal selection of favorites and if your favorite isn't here, that doesn't mean I think they're bad.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World: Hipster Trash or Glorious Nerdom?

For the longest time, various fans of comics, video games, and other form of nerdity have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Based off the comic series of the same name, trailers portrayed the film in a form that at first made me think "Oh, just another boy meets girl movie. Well, time to move on to the next big mo-" And then suddenly there's Evil Super powered boyfriends involved. Trailers don't do that often, so this film certainly peaked alot of peoples' interests. Is it glorious nerdom or just hipster trash?
