When Good and Bad Film Making Ends... Mediocrity Begins
“What are you afraid of?” Fear is a huge part of our lives, it shapes us into the people that we become. From heights to spiders to crowds and darkness, it is the age old emotion that is unique for each person. Fear is built into our psyche. It forms over the centuries, growing with each new experience. It is our response to danger, giving us that rush of adrenaline to either flee or fight. The horror genre is described as films that give us the fear of the unknown. This “unknown” can include everything that anyone has ever thought of. It’s not hard to describe our fears, but it’s hard to describe why do we fear one thing over another?

7 Great Magical Girl Shows
Magical girl is one of the more popular genres of anime. Aimed primarily at a young, female audience, almost every show is about teenage girls saving the world. With the popularity of male-led superheroes in the west, like the Avengers or Justice League, what the world needs more of is groups of young women who could easily beat those groups in a fight.

Hardwork and Natural Talent
Are you familiar with FLCL, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Kill la Kill? What do they have in common? Right smooth and powerful animation. Studio Trigger had been known to deliver these jaw-dropping animations, but this time, let's give credit to the man responsible for creating these works of art: You Yoshinari. He is the key animator that put all those animations into life.

My 'Clannad' Review
Clannad started as a video game and branched out into two seasons and a movie. Each season aired at different times, the first episode of the first season was aired on 2007. The first season is Clannad, the second season is Clannad: After Story and the movie is simply titled Clannad: The Movie. To specify, most people who have seen Clannad are of the eighteen to twenty-five age range as the series was aired in 2007 and the intended audience was teens at the time of its release. Although anime is becoming more and more popular in America, Clannad isn't considered a popular anime because it finished airing around the beginning of the anime boom. I plan to review the anime series as a whole and to answer basic questions that all anime lovers are forced to ask, here is what I know: the animated series comes in both English subtitles and in English dub as well as Japanese. Many fanbases do convert the series over into their own language. It's easy to find on YouTube or many fan-based websites for free. If you'd rather own the series it wouldn't break your bank, a normal DVD set costs around twenty to thirty dollars and is purchasable online or in specific stores. I personally would recommend purchasing the series and watching it at your own pace. Now that that’s out of the way, Clannad left me breathless; I do suggest it go on your list of must-sees. The genre is geared towards the female audience yet is set in the point of view of the male protagonist which is rather effective in its goal to attract the female audience throughout the plot.

Can Netflix's 'Castlevania' Break Dracula's Curse?
Netflix is taking a big gamble on their next project. Bram Stoker's Dracula and pretty much any video game adaptation have one thing in common, when it comes to adapting them for the screen, large or small. They're both subject to audiences with a love for the original content and that means any new adaptation has to get by steadfast fans if it's going to be a success.

Twin Peaks 2017: The Birth of an American Nightmare
"It was a fantastic decade in a lot of ways ... there was something in the air that is not there any more at all...It was a really hopeful time... You got the feeling you could do anything. The future was bright. Little did we know we were for a disastrous future."

Review: Shimmer Lake
So, I recently watched Shimmer Lake, a Netflix original drama/comedy. When the trailers for the film came out earlier this summer I was immediately intrigued. The film featured a cast of typically comedic actors such as Rainn Wilson, Adam Pally, Ron Livingston and John Mitchell Higgins. I was pretty sure that the film would be more "Fargo" - like, a dark comedy with a quirky bunch of characters. This is not necessarily the end result of Shimmer Lake.

Most Magical Harry Potter Creatures
When creating all of the magical Harry Potter creatures, J.K. Rowling drew inspiration from folklore and mythology. Most writers constructing a fictional universe (from J.R.R. Tolkien to George R.R. Martin) draw from reality. So, of course, Rowling had to base the Wizarding World on the real world – or, at least, the belief systems of the real world.
