Topic: How to Train Your Dragon
After its premiere two months ago, the How to Train Your Dragon remake finally hits theaters this coming Friday, June 13th. I've been vocally critical of live-action remakes, especially when the animated original released only a short time ago, but critics have praised this one, stating that it adds a lot to the world while remaining faithful to the source material. Even the large gap between the premiere and the general release is a good sign. Will you see this in theaters? Streaming? Or pass?

Topic: Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan
A woman is kidnapped and forced into a life of prostitution. Then gets her revenge. Good stuff. I love how often these Kung Fu movies from the 70s have strong female protagonists.

Topic: Win or Lose
What a well done show. I enjoyed Win or Lose more than I thought I would. This show is marketed towards kids, but it really goes into some heavy topics and gives a perspective that I’ve never seen before. I loved how it showed what each individual character was going through and how that affected the people around them. I honestly would like to see a season two but I know that’s probably not going to happen. Highly recommend if you haven’t watched it.

Topic: The Long Walk
I first read the Bachman Books when I was in High School and The Long Walk has stuck with me since. I've always thought this book was a reflection of humanity, what would people really be willing to risk to have everything. Sadly, some will think this is a play off The Hunger Games, but the book was released under a pseudonym of Stephen King's many years before that series was even a thought. I always wondered......did the Long Walk inspire The Hunger Games? What do you think?

Topic: The Black Cauldron
I've long said that I wished Disney actually WOULD do a live-action version of Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain (the basis for their animated film The Black Cauldron). However, I've never really dug to see if that was in the works, as it's never been on any release schedules. Well, it turns out that Disney actually renewed the rights in 2016 with the goal of producing a live-action adaptation. This was 9 years ago, but it's still within the realm of possibility!

Topic: Expedition Killer Whale
Such a great documentary!! Awesome footage of killer whales wave-washing hunting technique, and also a lot of behind the scenes footage of the camera crew and the scientists studying them. The behind the scenes footage makes the documentary a lot more fun. It’s only on the BBC right now but whenever it comes out in other countries you should definitely check it out!

Topic: This Is the Tom Green Documentary
I've turned off quite a few modern documentaries lately due to poor format. However I was pleasantly surprised by The Tom Green Documentary. A perfect balance of real footage laced with minimal interviews and some voice over.

Topic: Secrets of the Penguins
I've been watching Secrets of the Penguins on Disney+ recently, and I love it so far! It's beautifully filmed! I highly recommend checking out the first episode "Heart of the Emperors". The ending scene with the penguins jumping off the 50 ft ice cliff is crazy!

Topic: Karate Kid: Legends
This should be interesting. I haven't seen anything about Jaden Smith's character Dre. So I don't know how Jackie Chan's character Han fits in.

Topic: The Grudge
Watched this when I was 8 years old for the first time. Think it was a rental from blockbuster or something shortly after releasing. But after watching, I was afraid of the dark until my late teens lol no joke. Scary stuff and will be regarded in my opinion as one of the scariest movies I have ever seen

Topic: The Pitt
Is the Hype behind this show deserved? Everyone seems to love this, I'm not usually a person who watches these shows like ER was a pass for me. Greys Anatomy was ok for a couple seasons I'm not that much into the soap opera like drama shows like this bring I'm More of a thriller suspense whodunnit guy but is this still worth checking out? I mean I did like Gray's Anatomy for awhile until cast started changing crazy.

Topic: Star Wars
Happy Star Wars Day, and May the 4th be with you! What's your best Star Wars-related memory that doesn't directly relate to watching one of the shows or movies? It could be WHO you watched a certain movie with or the circumstances under which you watched it. It could be meeting a star or something that happened at a convention. It could be when you learned they were finally making another movie. It could be a trailer that caught your imagination. Anything!

Topic: Fullmetal Alchemist
Are there any major differences I should be aware of between Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood? I started watching brotherhood, because I assume it is probably the same as the original just better animation. My brother told me that brotherhood is terrible and I should watch the original instead. What is the difference? Why does it matter?

Topic: Hatching
I so wanted to love everything about this film and give it 5 stars, but it's not really there. (Insert sad face here) The story is well told and well acted, but I went in expecting a horror and wound up feeling so heart broken through out. I connected with the creature a little too deeply and that left the ending weak and incomplete for me. 3/5 stars

Topic: Starve Acre
A slow burn, pet cemetery-esque folk story, with a dash of Don't Look Now. This esoteric film with all the feels of a 60/70s thriller, leading you through a heartbreaking story, twisting and turning into a gut wrenching wtf ending. 4/5

Topic: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
It seems that no one has any opinions on Gundam, so let's talk about another mecha franchise. How do you feel about Code Geass and its movies, including the sequel to the original story, Lelouch of the Resurrection? As a jumping-off point, feel free to talk about the franchise's depictions of war; power; conquest; human nature; strategy; the narrative; the characters; or anything else about which you would like to talk.

Topic: Criminal Minds
How good is this series? On paper I should love this I love dark and gritty crime dramas or thrillers especially going into the mind of the criminal but I still haven't watched this. I'm just not typically a fan of the typical police procedural like every episode a new case or killer I like when it's one season to follow killer it's more believable imo, but would you suggest this show to someone who does love a good crime drama? Broadchurch. Dublin Murders. The Fall. The Wire, Shield I love...
