   I don’t know what is getting worse at this point, the amount of Batman actors we have had or the amount of Jokers. It is getting insane. Yet here we are again, three years after our last live action take of the character back in Suicide Squad, with a new live action Joker. This time with his own movie.    From the very beginning, I was unsure how to feel about this movie. On one hand, you have a great cast, the trailer looked excellent   and it deals with such a beloved DC character. On the other hand, I think you take away a lot of what makes the Joker great by giving him an origin and removing Batman from the equation. Making it an Elseworld story and not something that takes place in the main continuity helped, but still didn’t fully ease my mind. No matter what, I thought the trailers looked good and I couldn’t wait to see it, so here we are.    Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Joker takes slight inspiration from Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke.

   After doing my Tokyo Ghoul chapter reviews and comparisons, I decided I wanted to figure out a good way to talk about manga and such, but full story reviews could take forever given the amount of chapters. Thinking a bit about it all though,   I ultimately decided on an idea of something new I could do for some write ups. A first impressions series of sorts. No longer just limited to manga, I will go through and watch a random first episode of a television series or read the first chapter of a manga. Maybe play the first hour of a game, or check out the first couple tracks on a cd even. From there, I will do a little write up of my impressions,   thoughts, theories,   etc. Depending on how I feel about whatever I’m writing about,   I may continue and do more write ups on it, developing into a possible full review, or I may just drop it. So today that's what we start. Continuing with my original plan, it will be a random manga I've never read before. I’m writing this befo

Spooky scary skeletons may send shivers down your spine, but will PG 13 horror do the same? I know I know, this is a horror movie based off from children’s horror books, so I really shouldn’t expect Guillermo Del Toro's best work or a horror masterpiece. Even still, I couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed by the big screen adaption of Alvin Schwartz's “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark."    Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark tells the story of a group of teens who, one Halloween while visiting a haunted house, stumble upon the story book of one of the daughters who lived there, Sarah Bellows. Sarah was mostly kept as a secret from the rest of the world. No pictures existed of her and she was kept in a hidden room. Children would go up to the wall and she would tell them stories, though all of the children that heard them went missing. Upon finding her book in present time, the teens are now caught in a deadly situation as stories have begun writing themselves

   I was always unsure of the idea of doing a sequel/reboot of the Jumanji franchise. The original was so iconic and classic. Throw in Robin Williams and his passing, and it made the whole thing seem impossible.   When Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle came out in 2017, I gave in and went to see it. It had Karen Gillan and Dwayne Johnson in it. There was no way I wasn’t going to see it. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the movie. I thought it was very funny, and did a good job at paying homage to the original while still making sure to stand on its own. It was a success so naturally a sequel was eventually announced, which is where we are today. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Jack Black, Danny DeVito, and Danny Glover, Jumanji: The Next Level, sees our group return to the world of Jumanji when Spencer ends up going into the game once again. Martha, Fridge, and Bethany must fight back against the broken game to find their friend. This time though they must also

It goes without saying that Tokyo Ghoul is one of my favorite series. I have the manga volumes, anime, extra volumes, figures, statues, and have been to one of the Tokyo Ghoul pop up cafes in Akihabara. Previously I have discussed the one shot manga that started the series. I also had plans to get into all of the chapters of the manga. Given how long that would take, I have decided instead to just do the first chapter as a bit of compare and contrast sort of thing. I have talked a little about the story in that one and won't dive too much into the history with this one, so let’s get into the introductory arc of Tokyo Ghoul    The story starts the same way in chapter one with a news story talking about the remains of a body being found from a ghoul attack. The ghoul being an eater type. Basically going in line with the 8 people killer things from the one shot. We then get our first glimpse of protagonist Kaneki Ken, 18 year old college freshman. He looks so much better in th
