Movie Review—Flow
—
What a delight! I would recommend Flow to anyone of any age. Kids will be captivated by it. Adults will be thoroughly entertained. I watched it with my wife and mother and we all loved it. The genius of *Flow* lies in its ability to tell a complex story without a single word of dialogue.…

Arcane Season 2 Review
—
Season 1 of Arcane easily gets an A+. It was so good that my wife and I watched it again before watching season 2. But, it didn’t help us follow the story because in season 2 the plot and character motivations are all over the map. In the end I stopped trying to figure out…

Movie Review – Nimona
Nimona is a gem of a movie that hits all the right marks. Fast-paced Funny Fantastic morality story (unless you’re homophobic, and then maybe not so much.) Fun antics for young kids Lots of subtle jokes for adults What more can you ask for? Oh, right. Really good voice acting by Chloë Grace Moretz (Nimona) and…

Movie review – Robot Dreams
So… This was different, in a good way. How to describe this? It’s a little like Bojack Horseman meets Issac Asimov. Coincidentally, or not, Issac Asimov has a short story titled Robot Dreams, but the story in this animation is not remotely related beyond the dreaming part. The animation is based on a graphic novel…

Avatar: The Last Airbender (animated) season two
I gave season one of Avatar: The Last Airbender an A+. But I think season two is just a little bit better. Do I have it an A++? I suppose I must. Creative Storytelling Season two offered three entire episodes that broke from the normal narrative flow. Episode 7 Zuko Alone devotes an entire episode…

Avatar: The Last Airbender (animated) season one
TL;DR Childish, but not immature. The Avatar feels the weight of responsibility that his title and abilities demand, but at the same time he’s a twelve-year-old kid whose first instinct is to play. The plot shows that it’s possible to have characters face great consequences without swimming in an ocean of angst Mature Character Development…

An Animated Kid’s Movie That Brilliantly Predicted The Future
—
Seemingly, every day, we learn that Mitchells vs. the Machines predicted a subtle but important aspect of the future better than any other movie. I don’t want to spoil the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, so I won’t tell you the specifics, but in the movie, they find a way…

PSA for Pluto, the anime series on Netflix
—
I wouldn’t call myself an anime fanboy, but I enjoy the genre. Anime often does a good job of exploring complicated social and psychological issues. I didn’t hesitate when my wife suggested we watch Pluto, eight episodes streaming on Netflix. It has an 8.2 on IMDb, a remarkably high rating for any show, regardless of genre.…
