Ideas on How to Change Netflix’s The Electric State for the Better

Despite all the star power used to get fans of post-apocalyptic tales excited for The Electric State, this film generally falls flat for its execution, but I got ideas on how to salvage it.

The Electric State is not an entirely terrible film. Had The Russo Brothers taken more creative liberty and came up with adding a horrific element, I’d love it! When the robots in this film made me think of those from the cinematic adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, just what I imagined up would have been even more thrilling! But when this work is based on the work of another talent’s work, I have to wonder if Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag would approve.

While this work fails as being a road trip movie, where Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) leaves her foster home to search for Chris (Woody Norman), at least parts of the world building are done right. And when she knows her brother is a genius in science and robotics, this can lead to problems in the long run. Someone can take advantage of him. In what he knows about combining the two, nobody or no device can be safe.

When Assassination Classroom is Making A Comeback in Japan, There’s A New Soundtrack Attached (not Attacked) To It!

Fans of the anime Assassination Classroom might want to check out the upgrade! As for whether Crunchyroll will also replace their vaults with this new broadcast, it’s all about the music here!

Assassination Classroom Manga CoverA Japanese television network is rerunning the anime series Assassination Classroom using new opening and closing songs. This wonky science fiction comedy manga series created by Yūsei Matsui has quite the following because it’s about saving Earth from destruction.

This series is about an alien octopus teaching tweens the finer points in what goes on in their galaxy and encouraging them to put a stop to his nefarious plans by any means necessary. Honestly, I think he looks more like Pumpkinhead Sam from Trick ‘r Treat, but I digress. While he doesn’t hide the fact he’s targeting their home world for destruction, they’ll have to halt his plans. On my first impression, this high school series may well be digging up ideas which predate Baby Assassins and include concepts from Nightmare on Elm Street on top.

Here’s Everything Viewers Need To Know Before Jurassic World Chaos Theory Season Three Arrives

This recap covers everything viewers need to know before watching the next season of Jurassic World Chaos Theory tomorrow.

Just what fans of Jurassic World Chaos Theory need to recall is that the gang has one less member. Brooklynn is working with Santos, the enemy, and to keep her friends safe, she must cut ties with her past.

Although this series beginning sets up the belief where she was dead, this young former Vtuber has been alive all this time. She’s been undercover to find out who has been trafficking dinosaurs. After achieving some success, she must go further down the rabbit hole! It’s about time; the movies never went deep into what Biosyn Genetics wants to do with genetically modified dinosaurs.

When The Day the Earth Blew Up Spuddered. Is It A Crazy Looney Tunes Movie?

Some Warner Brothers cartoons are truly classic and can be viewed time and time again. But when this latest misses its mark, not even When The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie creates confidence. 

The Day the Earth Blew UpMy fondness for Looney Tunes will always place the Golden Age classics well above the modern revival era (2015 onwards). With The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, the nuance and wit that once defined the series are largely missing. The humour leans more toward Tex Avery’s zany chaos than Chuck Jones’ clever restraint. In fact, some of the slapstick borders on Ren & Stimpy-style absurdity, which may not sit well with traditionalists.

While many creative voices have shaped the franchise over the decades, it’s Jones’ signature blend of heart and timing that I value most—more so than the foundational work of others like Friz Freleng and Bob Clampett, who helped establish the tone in the 30s.

The strongest shorts came in the 40s and beyond. By the 90s, the franchise reached new heights with Animaniacs, and stayed strong into the early 2000s with Duck Dodgers: The Animated Series. Since then, attempts to honour that legacy have been hit-and-miss. This film’s high-definition look—using crisp digital animation and glossy textures—lacks the warmth of traditional hand-drawn styles. I’d prefer softer, pencil-textured visuals over hard-edged CGI.

When The Count Stops at Mickey 17, Could The Next War Concern Eugenics?

Dealing with life is never easy, but for Mickey 17, he finds the answer to it and there’s a lot more to it than to be reminded about Toni Basil’s song.

Mickey 17 film_posterNot everyone is going to interpret Bong Joon Ho‘s Mickey 17 the same way as the novel. When I went in not knowing the book, what I found is a story concerning Mickey (Robert Pattinson) looking to escape his past. And when he signs up to be an Expandable for the industrial evangelist Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo), life will not be easy. Instead of a soldier, he’s a replicant. That is, he’s a guinea pig. Whether that’s for medical tests or ordered to walk into a minefield, he’s there!

When this film is deviating from the source material, just what happens next is anyone’s guess. When this narrative mixes up elements from Edge of Tomorrow and Starship Troopers, I’m already hooked! And for the star to be geeked to resemble Steve Rogers before becoming Captain America results from some excellent makeup design.

In Search of Aliens Uncovered Jesuits Secrets Rather Than Desert Riches

Maybe some things shouldn’t be unearthed! In Aliens Uncovered Jesuits Secrets, while some ideas may seem far fetched, could what documentarian Clive Christopher is looking for the truth?

Some people may say the topics Clive Christopher has in his UFO conspiracy documentary series are far-fetched. However, I’m finding some of his releases better than others. In his latest, Aliens Uncovered: Jesuits Secrets, they are not out to spread the word of Christ. There’s also the search for gold (to help the aliens who need to “phone home” in order to save their planet).

However, there’s more to the mystery. The locals believe Mount Graham is a source of mystery. While the indigenous tribes living here are harvesting from the land for food and sustenance, there are others seeking something else! It’s rumoured the aliens want the minerals said to be buried here. Also, when the Vatican built an observatory here and it’s home to two other telescopes, perhaps these organisations know something else is hovering above.
