IMDb is the world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. Find ratings and reviews for the newest movie and TV shows. Little more than a LEGO themed Mario Party clone, which in turn is little more than a random number generator that required little to no skill, LEGO Party! is still a fun game with some interesting and hilarious additions to it’s gameplay. My specific gameplay experience of the game was via the Netflix app on my roku with my phone acting as a controller, which was a pretty not great way of playing a...
Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village. I discovered a whole box of hd-dvds and blurays that I had forgotten I owned, so I’m going back through them. This is a great example of the quality of the films in that forgotten archive, but I had forgotten how...

Notting Hill: Directed by Roger Michell. With Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Richard McCabe, Rhys Ifans. A set of circumstances makes Anna Scott, a famous actress, fall in love with William Thacker, owner of a bookstore in Notting Hill. But the paparazzi’s fascination with her complicates their bond. A lovely romantic comedy that I’ve always enjoyed, so I decided to show it to my wife who declared it to be one of the most boring movies she’s ever seen. oopsy daisy! Buy On Amazon!
Batman and Harley Quinn: Directed by Sam Liu. With Kevin Conroy, Melissa Rauch, Paget Brewster, Loren Lester. Batman and Nightwing are forced to team with the Joker’s sometimes-girlfriend Harley Quinn to stop a global threat brought about by Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man. I watched this while putting together a LEGO Batmobile, I’ve seen it before and had a low opinion of it, none of the main characters are the versions that I prefer and none of them act the way that I like the characters to act. Having seen the recent DC output though, it’s a...
Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero: Directed by Boyd Kirkland. With Kevin Conroy, Michael Ansara, Loren Lester, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.. When Mr. Freeze, desperate to save his dying wife, kidnaps Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) as an involuntary organ donor, Batman and Robin must find her before the operation can begin. I got the HD version of this film back when I bought the complete Animated boxset a few years ago and am just now getting around to watching it and only watching it because I had an Animated Series LEGO batmobile. Mind you, I’ve seen this one a few times in the...
The Dropout: Created by Elizabeth Meriwether. With Amanda Seyfried, Naveen Andrews, Michel Gill, William H. Macy. TV series that chronicles Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ attempt to revolutionize the healthcare industry after dropping out of college and starting a technology company. A fascinating story of the uprising of a technology company that aimed to disrupt the entire health care industry, just to crash and burn with the inability to realize the hopes and promises of it’s overpromising founder, Elizabeth Holmes.

Howl’s Moving Castle: Directed by Hayao Miyazaki. With Chieko Baishô, Takuya Kimura, Tatsuya Gashûin, Akihiro Miwa. When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle. Such a dark but ultimately enjoyable film. Buy On Amazon!
Being Eddie: Directed by Angus Wall. With Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Charlie Murphy. Follows a comprehensive look at Eddie Murphy’s life and career. Much more shallow than I thought it was going to be, but it does include something akin to a tour of his castle mansion that he’s been hiding in for the last 20 years. They do not go into any of his more racy or controversial content, this was obviously one of Netflix’s many documentaries done for political reasons and not for an honest look at a subject. Buy On Amazon!
Solar Opposites: Created by Mike McMahan, Justin Roiland. With Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, Mary Mack, Sagan McMahan. A family of aliens move to middle America, where they debate whether life is better there or on their home planet. A fun ending to a fun series that had entirely way too many subplots going on, I think it got up to about…10? 15? sets of characters doing their own things in their own universes that only sparingly interacted with each other. I’d love to see a series of just the SilverCops doing their thing. Buy On Amazon!
