Manga Review: Naruto - 599
Folks, looks like I was wrong. Masked Man Tobi is not Future Sasuke.

Unfortunately, for those who were hoping that Kishimoto happened to become a creative storytelling mastermind overnight, did not get their wish. Masked Man Tobi was in fact, as just about everybody and their grandma’s predicted, Obito (Tobi = Obito). This was either a moment of exuberance for...

Anime Review: Shirokuma Cafe - 22
No, seriously, Penguin, who do you really like? They’re waiting for your answer.

Penguin may not have had the same amount of screen time as Panda and Shirokuma throughout the season, but Shirokuma Cafe is making sure it makes up for it. In episode 22, not only do you get your dose of Penguin, but you get extra dosage of penguins all together.

Film Review: Premium Rush
“You have a real knack for making things worse.”
Before I get into this review, I have to preface it by saying that this is not a movie that everyone will enjoy. I can see the average movie-goer walking out of the theater thinking that it was a massive disappointment. However, there is a gem of a movie buried under a premise that has no business working whatsoever, and for those...
