Seven Sins

I have never been an anime fan by any means. One of my closest friends from home, DJ,  is a huge fan so through him I have been forced to see quite a lot of anime shows. One show in particular was used by DJ to try and turn me on to the anime world. The Seven Deadly Sins is currently on Netflix and just released its third season. I have since learned that season one was, in the words of DJ, "worth every minute of every day."  This statement was followed by a sigh of disappointment while speaking of season two, and yet another sigh for season three. I would be lying if I said that DJ was unsuccessful in making me love this show. I may not enjoy anime as a part of my entertainment, but the Seven Deadly Sins is a show that competes with Rick and Morty for my weekend mornings. Of every anime show that my friend tried to get me into, this one takes the win. It has a focused plot that is funny, sad, thought provoking, and not over dramatized. However, I agree with DJ in the opinion that the second and third season are iffy. The second season has no plot at all, the characters simply go through daily life, and the third season starts to slip back into the traditional anime that has "extreme drama and too much fantasy"- self quote.

This movie can be considered capitalist propaganda- the Bratz shop in order to destress about their problems, and it's an implemental part of their lives. They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
