Housing Complex C (from Adult Swim)

A bit predictable, but maybe that’s from seeing a lot of Anime in my life. Beautifully (and frightfully) animated from top notch studio Project I. G. (They do most of the Ghost in the Shell stuff), “Housing Complex C” tells the tale of an apartment complex where several seniors and a few families reside. There’s a girl named Kimi, who lives with her mother. All … Continue reading Housing Complex C (from Adult Swim)

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Stars (Episodes #187-188)

Chibi-Chibi, the somewhat controversial Pokemon-speaking little girl, and her actual form. Welcome back to more Sailor Stars reviews- we’re way deep in the series as the last enemy General reveals herself in this very review! Sailor Aluminum Siren is still largely in charge, but her increased failures are irking Sailor Galaxia, the ultimate Big Bad. And Chibi-Chibi is still running around in the background, and … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Stars (Episodes #187-188)

On Nostalgia And Biases

“Never Trust Anyone Whose Favorite Movie Came Out After They Turned 21”. I saw someone post this once on Twitter, and I was aghast. (I wasn’t. I just like the word “aghast” and need to work it into more things. “Rob, what did you think of your niece’s 2nd birthday party?” “I was aghast!” See? Always fun) Anyway, I started thinking, “Well how true can … Continue reading On Nostalgia And Biases

Jab Looks At: Dino Riders!

When I was a young Jab, there was only ONE cartoon and toyline that I could have called my favourite, and that one is Dino-Riders. Dino-Riders is another Merch-Based 1980s cartoon, this one from TYCO Toys. What sets it apart from the pack is that if features ALIENS FIGHTING IN LASER WARS WHILE RIDING GIANT ARMOURED DINOSAURS. It’s like the grab-bag of every single sweet thing in … Continue reading Jab Looks At: Dino Riders!

Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: Behold, the embodiment of the entire 1980s. The Transformers is the mightiest toy-selling cartoon of all time, and G.I. Joe is probably the best overall, but Jem will always have my heart. See, where alot of these shows come from the epitome of animation that was the ’80s, very few of them actually LOOK “’80s”. Sure, there’s Ghetto Blasters (better known as Boom-Boxes these days…. or … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye

We’re on our last entry. 2021 was a great ride in terms of the first batch of MCU shows on Disney+. Just before Christmas, we were given the appropriately holiday-themed show, Hawkeye. This was the show I was most looking forward to. First of all, the show was supposed to be following the Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye series and while I hadn’t read it, I … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye

Entertainment Rex: December 2021 Part 2

I did it. Two-hundred movies across the year 2021. Individually, 215 movies and about 220 total viewings when you factor in the flicks I saw twice, one of which was Jason X because EVERYONE should watch Jason X twice a year. He just wanted his machete back. I should have a better goal for 2022, but…I really like movies, man. Like I should… write 12,000 … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: December 2021 Part 2

Jab’s TMNT Review: Overview Part 2

For part one in this series, click HERE! THE PLAYMATES TOY LINE:-Well crap, you want something every kid I knew was OBSESSED with, back in the day? Look no further. These toys were AWESOME- some were incredibly-detailed, some were HUGE, and plenty of them kicked ass. My brother and I had all kinds of these things- General Tragg, Muckman, Baxter Stockman, my beloved Casey Jones, … Continue reading Jab’s TMNT Review: Overview Part 2

Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I’d definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought… could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about a movie per day, so let’s get the heck into … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

Entertainment Rex: November 2021

This is… very quickly becoming my “Here’s my recent movie reviews” post, and I am okay with that. When I started Entertainment Rex this year, the principle was that I’d discuss everything I watched, played, read, and otherwise enjoyed in the last half of a month. But I have been on an absolute movie TEAR of late, and it’s making it hard to do much … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021

Jab’s Reviews: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series Overview

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:-And now, owing to the big turnout in votes for the Ninja Turtles, I’ll be doing a big set of builds for the franchise! This will start off with the 1990s Movie series, then follow up with builds surrounding the trio of cartoons (leaving off Rise of the TMNT, which is too new and unknown to me)- a handful of characters will thus … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series Overview
