[Movie] Forbidden Planet

The Forbidden Planet is the story of a classic flying saucer containing a human crew, heading for Altare 4, aka, "The Forbidden Planet". They are investigating missing scientists, who landed on the planet.... 20 years ago... Guys.... really? Cmon. They're dead...
Is what I thought! Well, not really, but you know. No signs of civilization are detected, until someone makes radio contact with them from the planet, a human voice. JJ Adams, the commander, speaks to 'Morbius', a man on the scientist party! *gasp*. Morbius tells Adams that it's too danagerous to come down... I won't spoil anything else, but I'll begin my review at this point. The movie itself was fanastic. It's perfect for all audiences, with never a dull moment. The movie is exciting, entreging, and without a doubt one of my favorite classics. One thing the movie got wrong that I found hilarious was that it predicted that we would land on the moon at the END of the 21st century. The pace accelerates at different chunks, staying on one plot point for a while before quickly moving to the next point in the story. The characters feel a bit bland, especially the members of the flying saucer crew. I personally recommend Forbidden Planet, because anyone can enjoy it. One of my big problems about the movie though is it leaves some unresolved details, which are never truly explained. I give Forbidden Planet an 8/10. It's a fantastic movie to see, and I definetly plan on watching it again.

[Webcomic] Blaster Nation

Blasternation is a funny comic that's been losing it's moxy. While the art gets better and better, the comic becomes more and more meak, as the hilarity of it all decreases. The concept it self is alright, the story of a military brat who goees home, only to find his roomates have sold his room to an overly sexual  friend of the landlord's (One of his roomates) girlfriend. While the first 50 strips are golden, the comic begins to weaken. They attempt to introduce a new character who acts like she's from a random character generator. The comic neveer truly gets interesting, and on a climax chart, it's simply going straight forward at a slow and steady pace. I've seen comics that escalate way to quickly, and believe me, this is not one of them. The one thing I truly enjoy about BN is their fandom. I would rather read a comic's comments than the actually comic. These fans have witty punchlines, perfectly used memes, and all in all are just great. If prequel's comment section is a bar, then BN's comment section is a 5 Star Hotel. In the end, I give blaster nation a 6/10, and here's why:

[SCORE]
Art: +2/2
Concept: +2/2
Updates: +1/1
Other: +1/1
Pace: +0/2
Durability: +0/2

[Webcomic] Boozle Review

Nothing has done silent characters like Boozle since Charlie Chaplin. Boozle's art style is one of my favorites. He uses thick brushes with solid coloring, and uses a basic pallette that definetley succeeds at his goal. The story follows Boozle, who is pretty the equivelant of a nintendo main character. Never speaks, but gets the message across. Boozle is pretty much a level 20 wizard, but seems to reserve his power for bullshit stuff like rebuilding his house after a level 20 monk has a fight with him every day for what seems like quite a bit of time. The only thing is, this unamed goblin seems to enjoy these fights, most likely testing his strength, while Boozle hates it. He searches for a power spell to eliminate him, but when he does, he realizes he's nothing without him. He searches for a cure, but discovers that the spell is unreverable. Eventually, he discovers something that maybe able to reverse the spell, but the ingrediants are very rare. He goes on his journey, where he meets friends and discovers a part of him that he never new exsisted. I love the universe of Boozle, which is so much different than most fantasy universes. Instead of humans, the world is covered with goblins as the primary race. Unlike regular crazy fantasy goblins however, the only difference between these goblins and humans are their look. Wizard spells don't seem to be that dangerous, but are more helpfull than anything. I give this comic a 7.25/10. While it definetly is a good series, it has slowed down. In addition, the comic only updates once per week (on fridays). I definetly believe the comics the comic is worth checking out. If you like it, be sure to donate on his patron!

[Webcomic] Ava's Demon Review

Avas Demon puts its readers into a majestic world unlike anyother. I was up all night reading more than 1,000 pages of it, and I must say it is possibly one of the best webcomics I've ever read. Ava's Demon is the story of a 15 year old girl living in 2031, where she is tormented by a ghost only she can see. Only 37 pages into the story, a conversation between 2 primary characters is interupted as a 'Silent Scavenger', a robot that salvages planets then destroys them, tears down a wall with it's giant claw. Ava, the protagonist, escapes onto one of the 2 character's ships, where they fly away before the planet is destroyed. At the 61 page mark, the author created a wonderful animation that is elegant and features some fantastic music by 'Elsiane'. To see some of her work, click here. While I won't spoil anything beyond that, I will say the story manages to capture the audience quite easily, and it gets you hooked in chapter 2. Each update on (Mondays and Thursdays) features 10 new panels to explore, instead of a page. At somepoints, you can even switch back and forth (Using the arrow keys) to show intersting animations. The story escalates at just the right pace, while it might slow down every once in a while, it gets back up and keep being great. There are very few plot conveinences, and I have yet to find a hole in the story. One very good part of Ava's Demon is that it's constantly being updated as the comic is the author's full time job, AND

the story has already been completed, it just needs to be written. The author, Michell Czajkowski, makes you love hate, and pity the characters in the story, just as if they were real. I haven't seen a comic like that since Unlife. But that dosen't mean the comic is without flaws. I find the characters to be slightly 'ragdoll like', simply going where the author wants them to go, but she still gives them a cause to do so, even if it is not a good one. I give Ava's Demon a 9.5/10. It's definetly up on my favorite comics list, and I can't wait to see where ava goes next.

[Webcomic] Paranatural Review

This comic has come along way. Paranatural personally reminds me of gravity falls, but with some slight changes. The story follows Max, who just moved into his dad's childhood home, 'Mayview'. There they live in a conveinence store, with his sister. Just as they settle down to go to bed, Max is visited by a terrifying spirit, that causes him to wake up from an 'all too vivid' dream he was having. As he runs to school, well, scooters to school, he encounters the neighborhood bullies. Normall, I despise bullying and everyone that performes, but in this c

ase, the bullies are hilarious. Their quotes and shinnanigans make me spit my milk out, and even though they're always getting in Max's way, I can't help but love them. Later in the story, Max begins to see more and more sprits, but I won't spoil anything else for you. While the art starts out slightly colored, it's definetly been revamped since it's start in early 2011. The series is still being updateded on Tuesdays and Fridays, with a whole comic book page worth of laughter. The author defintetly intends on this being a cool series, and I can't wait to see what happens in the story next. Still, that dosen't mean it's without flaws. The series has gotten less comedic and more serious as the story progresses, like most comics do. But I'd still like to see those hilarious antics of Max and his friends. At some times, the dialouge seems a lot longer than other times, and a change in pace usually isn't a good thing. Still, I give Paranatural an 8.75/10. The story gets more and more exciting as I read it, and I love the character concepts. The Author, Zack, has definetley taken his time in crafting this story, and has improveed as an artist along the way. His art has gotten better and better throughout the years, which is one thing I love about webcomics. Seeing the authors become better and better is like watching a plant grow. I sure and proud of you, Zack.

[Webcomic] Saint for Rent Review

Hey everyone, I want to talk about the webcomic "Saint for Rent". This comic tells the story of a kid who runs an inn for timetravelers. There are some interesting aspects to it, such as the animation, but the animation never truley lives up to its potentional. When you look at webcomics such as  prequel, Kazerad managed to take the time to not only make long posts, (something animated comics should have), but also make the animation a highlight, not just another feature. The story progresses as a pace that is simply too fast to understand, which generates a chaotic setting. I believe this is what the author was trying to represent, but I believe that it could have been shown in a better manner than quickening the storyline. The story starts off quickly, escalating to the point of confusion, causing the reader to have to figure out things on their own. I always thought that the ability to illustrate the scene through art is what we attempt to prevent with comics, but the author failed to do so. While the author may not have designed the next masterpiece, he still got some things right. The story could easily captivate a whovian, with it's charm and classy look. The main character, 'Saint', a boy who was left nothing but an inn and a cane sword by his father, provides the hilariousness of David Tennent, while keeping the dark side of Matt Smith. Personally I feel that there were too many plot convienences throughout the story. At the beginning, for example, the author creatures a suspence by placing only 2 characters in the scene, but when it truly matters, many more time travelers showed up, who just so happened to have a sofa to fling at the villian. Hunky Timetravelers guys, I'm getting a boner already. I have to give Saint for Rent a 6/10. If might have had some good parts, but they were not enought to cover up the flaws.
