In film, there's nothing I enjoy more than passionate creativity. Compared to the sea of mediocrity surrounding it, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is practically overflowing with it. This animated movie is vibrant, kinetic, and extremely inventive with its art style. On top of all that, this is just a solid movie. It tells its story with sincerity and tact, always focusing on the important aspects of Miles' emotional journey. The script wastes no time on pointless scenes or moments, which also gives the film an energetic rhythm that draws you in. One of the other great aspects of this movie is its reinvention of the Spider-Man story. It's clever writing demonstrates a true understanding of the webslinger, and offers commentary on the current state of his movie adaptations. In the end, you get a film both Spidey fans and non-fans can enjoy. Above all other aspects, what I like most about Spider-Verse is how fun it is. It demonstrates quality animation and filmmaking doesn...

  Tuesday is upon us- which means it's time or me to lock and load again as I chase Riggs and Murtaugh across Los Angeles in another action packed " Lethal Weapon " movie... A routine drug bust by Riggs and Murtaugh goes awry- hinting that things are a bit deeper than they think. Smuggled krugerrands, an FBI witness, and the South African consulate all collide with the two cops as they they lock sights on the biggest case of their careers... " Lethal Weapon 2 " isn't as intensely emotional as the first one.  As the two partners further cement their partnership and friendship, things lighten up a bit between the two- which is fitting as it echoes Rigg's growth from the angry, suicidal personality he was in the first movie into a more "stable" person learning to deal with his grief, and open up to Murtaugh as a friend.  It's a nice adjustment. While Riggs gets a lot of development in this movie, Murtaugh, sadly- doesn't get as much.  He...

On a cold, wintery weekend before Halloween, the We Want to Believe team is invited to explore the Village of Ashcroft, which is in the Interior of British Columbia. Led on a tour of haunted locations by resident John W. Fair, the investigators not only learn about the community’s spooky history, but find themselves communicating with ghosts from the gold-rush era, and uncovering the sad story of two deceased children. Writer/director’s statement: Our trip to Ashcroft was the first time the team had no idea what it was in for prior to an investigation. All we had was an invite from John W. Fair to explore the area’s haunted past. We got more than we bargained for in terms of encounters with potential spirits, and ticked one more off the paranormal investigator’s bucket list by spending the night in a local cemetery. And it was cold… very, very cold. Here's some pics from the latest episode: An EVP session in the snow. Lead investigator Peter Renn and director Jason Hewlett What did...

Seeing as the Castlevania animated series has recently concluded, I thought it apt to give my thoughts on the series as a whole.  I'm not going to lie, I have mixed feelings about the show. For me, it would often flip-flop between interesting and bland. It had some intriguing concepts and characters throughout, but these would often be overshadowed by a meandering and haphazard plot. There were many subplots that were underutilized, misused, or straight-up abandoned by the end. The Infinite Corridor, for example, is a plot point that's given a lot of build up in Season 3. It gets well established, a character's fate gets tied to it... and it's turned into a useless footnote in the last season. It seemed like the show's mission statement would change from season to season, so established plot threads would have to be re-woven to accommodate. Regardless, this show is still a good watch, and there is some splendid animation by the end. I'd still call this series a ...
