Since the start of the 2010's, we have had more superhero shows than ever. We have the DC multiverse on the CW, the MCU on Netflix and Marvel is expanding to Freeform and Hulu. It wouldn't be surprising to hear about FX trying to join this fad but FX decided to go against the standard superhero norms and give us a new experience. And that my friends, is Legion. FX Legion follows the story of David Haller, an alleged schizophrenic who discovers he has powers. After escaping a mental hospital, David gets recruited by a group of mutants to help them take down Division 3, a mutant hunting government task force. But David ends up creating more problems than helping due to his instability. First of all, I just want to say Legion really surprised me. I was initially disappointed when I found out that David isn't exactly like in the comic books. When I first heard about Legion I was mildly interested since it was part of the X-Men franchise. As I started reading up on th...

When Breaking Bad left the airwaves in 2013, it left behind a legacy which impacted the television industry as a whole and had set up a rich mythology worth exploring. Naturally, AMC wanted to tap into that universe to further explore the world of Walter White with Better Call Saul. AMC Better Call Saul may be considered inferior by many of its predecessor's fans but it is by no means a low-quality television program. Instead of trying to milk Breaking Bad for nostalgia, Better Call  Saul manages to build its own story while having tidbits of the BB sprinkled in various episodes, either as small references or character appearances.  If it wasn't for the Breaking Bad connection I probably wouldn't have watched this show. Network TV is constantly throwing law show after law show on air and it doesn't seem like that's gonna stop anytime soon and the idea of watching another show about an unorthodox lawyer just didn't seem too appealing at the time. But t...

After her successful and thought provoking breakout film, Ex Machina, I was looking forward to seeing Alicia Vikander in a new light, from kicking mental ass to kicking physical ass. Full disclosure, I'm not really a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise. I only played it as a child and all I did was run around Lara's house and mess with her Butler. So throughout this review I will not be making any references to any games or the previous films. What I do know is that video game movies don't exactly have the best reputation in terms of quality. I walked into the theatre expecting to watch a mediocre action adventure film and that's ...... exactly what I saw. Image via Warner Bros. Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft, a young woman who goes in search of her crappy dad who ditched her to go find a dead Japanese queen. At the same time, Lara must also stop a mysterious organization from taking the power of the queen and potentially destroying mankind. ...

Before you get your pitchforks out, just know that this isn't the same Yoko that broke up the Beatles. Image via Facebook As some of you might be aware, I was absent for the last few months and I must admit Miss Shimomura was partly to blame. You see, the truth is I am a Kingdom Hearts fan and I have been one for the last 10 years. For the last 2 months, I have mainly been replaying the older games to prepare myself for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3.  I credit Miss Shimomura for my absence due to the fact that her contributions to the KH franchise are one of the highlights of the series. Even when I wasn't playing, I would still be serenading myself with her various musical compositions. Despite the ups and downs in my life, Miss Shimomura's music has always been there for me. Her tracks have the capability to either calm me down (Traverse Town) or get me energized (Rage Awakened). Image via Facebook Throughout the years, Miss Shimomura has garnered much ...

A few weeks ago, I participated in a film review contest where everyone had to review this film. This was my submission: Corn island is a Georgian film which was released in 2014.  Directed by Giorgi Ovashvili and starring Ilyas Salman and Mariam Buturushvili, the film was Georgia's submission for the Best Foreign Film at the 87th Academy Awards. First things first, don't expect much in terms of story content. The opening minutes of the film explain how small land masses rise up and float on the water which are rich with soil and are used to grow and harvest crops for winter. The land masses are then washed away by rain and the cycle repeats itself come springtime. The basic premise of the film is about a man and his granddaughter growing corn on one such land mass. But much of the film focuses on the building of their house, the tilling of the land, harbouring a fugitive, planting and harvesting the crops with great emphasis on each of these situations. Corn Island...

We may be in the month of February but as far as I'm concerned, the year starts now. Image via Square Enix As most fans will be aware, 2018 is the year Kingdom Hearts 3 shall be bestowed upon us. Over the coming months, we will receive a wide variety of information ranging from new worlds, characters and gameplay trailers. Regarding my statement above, February is the official starting point because we may be getting our first major Kingdom Hearts news. January was mostly quiet but on February 10-12, the D23 Expo will be taking place in Japan and it is highly likely we will be getting some news and/or a trailer since we received the big 'Toy Story' reveal back in D23 2017. Aside from D23, there are still a few events such as E3 and TGS where we will get more news and possibly a release date. Personally, I am just ecstatic about all this. Every new piece of information only brings me joy and excitement. While I try not to let my hopes get too high, it doesn...
