Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb. Apparently, it was nearly impossible to call the offices of a worldwide corporation and just speak directly to the President. Receptionists were hesitant to put a call through to his phone, if they even had that ability at all. It was fast becoming Sam’s experience that they would be more than … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14

The Great Dictator Review

Are there movies for which you have seen most of the noteworthy scenes just due to their ubiquitousness in pop culture, and so you have decided to put off ever watching the whole picture?

I still … Continue reading The Great Dictator Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 13

Chapter 13: 5 Years Ago “Hey! Buddy! Are you supposed to be in charge of this craphole? I was at the Rooftop Cafe, and the vending machine ate my money. You owe me a drink.” Tommy must have recognized his brother’s voice, because all he did was shrug and continue counting inventory of weight belts. “Good to know the new Rip-off Idiots feature is working … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 13

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Sam had nothing. He had no words or thoughts or actions. His brain was preoccupied with processing what the President of the Phoenix Shipping Corporation had just said. Just when it seemed like he was on the verge of accepting it, something inside him replied “No. No, that can’t be right” and forced him to reconsider it. Barry having had the lake guardians … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 12

Lake Placid Review

I just recently watched the Kurt Russell vehicle Miracle. That’s… that’s not what this article is about. But it actually takes place at Lake Placid, New York, which is more than I can say for the movie we ARE actually reviewing today. Funny thing: you could actually switch the names of the two movies–call the ice hockey one “Lake Placid” and call the crocodile one … Continue reading Lake Placid Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 11

Chapter 11 It was pretty basic as far as world history goes. Sometime around three hundred years ago or so, the country of Kanto was the first civilization on the planet to learn that pokemon could be both efficiently captured and trained to work with humans. The Kantoans discovered the process by which they could transform pokemon into high-frequency, unstable energy that could be contained … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 11
