Mega Review by Urizen (Maleficent:Mistress of Evil, Birds of Prey, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Invisible Man, Onward)

  So, I’m very behind on things. Recently a lot of things have been happening that have made it hard to keep up with reviews. Thankfully it has been a bit of a slow period, so I haven’t seen too many. I was going to try to do individual reviews for all of them, but have ultimately decided that doing one mega review of these would be better. I won't be able to cover as much about them, but still allows me to get my thoughts out and be caught up. With this I should be able to start on the next one I see right away with no worries or stress. So here we go, let’s get started with the first one I saw which was Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.    Fun fact, I never actually finished the first Maleficent movie. While I thought Angelina Jolie did a killer job and the premise seemed interesting enough, there was an issue with whatever medium I was watching it on and I just never went back to finish it. Still, I found myself wanting to see Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. I never got around to se

BNA: BRAND NEW ANIMAL By Urizen

     I miss going to the movies. With the way the world is going, even if they were open, I probably wouldn’t be rushing out to see anything right now, but I still miss them. Without the new releases, I should have been taking the time to write about some of the other things I have been meaning to, unfortunately due to Covid and site issues, I have instead just been lazy. For now though, I am here and talking about a new anime I recently watched, BNA.    Now, I have a very long list of new anime that I have been meaning to watch, and an equally long list of older ones I’ve been saying I will start. As usual for me though, I forgot all about those and started one I never even knew about.    BNA: Brand New Animal, is a new anime from the famed   Studio Trigger that began airing in April of this year. If you know much about Studio Trigger's other anime, you will have a rough idea of what you are getting into with this series. For any who don’t know, this is the same studio that di

WEATHERING WITH YOU by Urizen

   I keep telling myself that between reviews I will be productive and work on other projects I have. I have yet to do that, so you know what that means, time for me to dive into something else and talk about it. Today that will be the great, new Makoto Shinkai film, Weathering With You.    I think it goes without saying, if you are a big enough fan of anime, you have heard of Makoto Shinkai's movies. His most famous one, Your Name, was highly successful both in Japan and worldwide. There is even a planned American live action remake of the film. Everyone, me included, was very excited to see what his next film would be. Finally, in 2019, Weathering With You was released in Japan with a worldwide release happening in early 2020. Trailers for the movie gave a bit of an idea what the film was about, but still left me with many questions. Questions I couldn’t wait to have answered as I eagerly awaited the release so I could go see it. Would it be able to stand up to Your Name, or wo
