TOY STORY 4 by Urizen

TOY STORY 4 REVIEW by URIZEN Oh man, Disney is really hitting hard with the nostalgia this year. We had Aladdin, Lion King coming up and now we have Toy Story 4. I was both thrilled and upset when this was announced a while back. On one hand, it is Toy Story! It has been such a great thing and a part of my life since I was a child. On the other hand though, things wrapped up so nicely in the third movie, this movie just seemed so unnecessary. Ultimately though, I decided I had to go see it. I’m going to pretend that with Woody being sad and with Andy now being gone, Charles Lee Ray finally got his wish, but Andy hid the toys with Bonnie in Toy Story 3 to keep them safe. I wanted to go to see Child’s Play and am trying to find time and money to do so.    So anyways, Toy Story 4! This story takes place 2 years after the end of Toy Story 3. Bonnie is getting ready to start Kindergarten and Woody is feeling rejected by her. All of the other toys have been picked to be playe

DEATH NOTE by Urizen

   Oh how I have waited for this day! Finally the stars have aligned in such a way that I can do this review! I always wished for this but never thought it would actually come to be. I don’t even know how to handle myself. I have so much to say! So, let’s just dive right in and talk about the world famous Death Note!    Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, the Death Note manga started being released in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2003. It told the story of Light Yagami, a very intelligent high school student who is sick of the failures of the justice system. One day he stumbles across this black notebook labeled “Death Note.” Inside it is a list of rules that tells him if he writes anyone’s name in it, that person will die. It is found out that the notebook belongs to a Shinigami, a god of death, named Ryuk. Ryuk dropped his notebook in the human world because he was bored and wanted to see what would happen. Light decides to use the Death Note to get

MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL by Urizen

   Here come the Men in Black! I have gone back and forth on this franchise’s future for years now. Rumors and plans have been thrown around for a while, including a weird 21 Jump Street crossover (dodged a bullet there), yet nothing had really came to fruition until recently when we got the announcement for Men In Black International. My hope continued to grow more and more as it was announced that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth would be starring in it. The two worked great together in Thor Ragnarok and both are great at acting, so it had to be good. As the trailer came out, it seemed like an interesting twist, but also kept the same feel of the original series. As usual though, the reviews came, and I grew worried. I didn’t know what I was getting into.    Men In Black: International deals with Thompson's Agent M, who as a child rescued an alien that had broken into her house while being chased by the MIB. While her parents got neuralized and forgot the incident, eve

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME by Urizen

   Spider-man, spider-man, does whatever a spider can! Man I have been hyped for this movie since it was announced. Endgame was an amazing movie, but there is no denying that it was depressing.   While Far From Home wasn’t going to be a one hundred percent happy movie,   especially since it was going to have to deal with the aftermath of Endgame, the idea was still a breath of fresh air. Spider-man has also been a more light hearted character, so it was something that was definitely going to be needed. I couldn’t wait, even if it’s existence almost seems like a spoiler. I’m not going to waste too much time with this one, let’s dive on in. It goes without saying though, this is going to have spoilers for Endgame if you haven’t yet seen it.      Spider-man: Far From Home deals with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker after the events of Endgame. He is still living the superhero life, but when his class gets ready to go on a trip to Europe, he wants to take a break. For once he wants to
