It's the halfway point of the year, and with it, the 50% marker of my journey to 300 movies watched within the span of January 1st 2022 to December 31st 2022. It's almost quaint to remember this started as a mission to 250 when the year changed and I saw I'd surpassed 200 total movies... Continue Reading →
So we've once again hit a point where I wasn't watching much Disney (I was away at college and mostly renting older stuff at this point). And most of these reviewed HORRIBLY, so I made no attempt to go see them. HOME ON THE RANGE (2004):Written by: Will Finn, John Sanford, Michael LaBash, Sam Levine, Mark... Continue Reading →
https://photos.smugmug.com/TMNT/i-XBQn7Pr/0/d339be1f/Th/Jagwar-Th.jpg JAGWAR: -Jagwar is the de facto leader of the Mighty Mutanimals, a spin-off attempt from the TMNT Adventures Archie Comics series. Like I said earlier, they were short-lived (a three-issue mini-series followed by an ongoing that was cancelled after only 9 issues), and were killed after a six-part back-up storyline in the main "TMNT" book- a SHOCKING move...

TREASURE PLANET (2002):Written by: Ron Clements, John Musker, Rob Edwards, Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio The backstory to the making of this movie is more interesting to me than the actual film itself, which is totally forgettable. Clements & Musker, two A-level directors responsible for The Little Mermaid, basically begged the studio for 12 years to make... Continue Reading →
I'm still at this! We have done this twice before at this point (Exhibit A and Exhibit B), and I can't stress this enough: I love alternate get-ups. I am the guy that, when I get a video game where the hero can unlock or earn various costumes, I will NEVER use the default look again. The... Continue Reading →
SAILOR MOON SUPERS:-… sigh… well, HERE GOES… Out of all the seasons of Sailor Moon, the fourth seasons, Sailor Moon SuperS (said like "Supers", but with a big "S", because reasons), is almost universally the most disliked by the show's adult fanbase. Even back in the 1990s, in the early days of the widespread online... Continue Reading →
You know what I realized I needed? A score card to correlate my ratings. Because a 2.5 for me is perhaps very different than a 2.5 for you. So here's my little cheat sheet: 5/5 - Essentially perfect 4.5 / 5 - A top-tier, extremely high-quality and rewatchable movie. The difference between this and a... Continue Reading →
I was wrong recently. I mean, that implies that I have not been wrong until recently. I WILL CLARIFY! I am wrong A LOT. With great frequency. Both on factual matters or subjective matters. Take the word subjective for instance! I use the word "objectively" the way people use the word "literally": when it is... Continue Reading →
So I thought I’d rank all of Spider-Man’s live action movie costumes. Why? I dunno. This site has Pop-Tarts reviews. This is not the weirdest blog topic here. Anyway, I like superhero costumes and Spidey is my favorite superhero so I’m particular on how he looks. Keep in mind this is not a ranking on... Continue Reading →
And we're back! Phase Two, as I like to call it, began with Jessica Jones season 2 and the second season of Luke Cage followed. Around this time, we had the announcement that Disney was going to be launching their own streaming service which would include Marvel properties. With the next few seasons premiering within...

Wow, I feel like this article needs about three different openings because I haven't written anything in a while. Let's get to it! Yes, first off: where has my writing been? What the heck, right? AP and Jabroniville have done a STUPENDOUS (Stew-pendous. ha!) job keeping SWOProductions flowing lately with all of their fantastic contributions!... Continue Reading →
I want to start this off with a shout-out to SWO Productions for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this great challenge (don’t forget to vote for this as the best of these four Top 10 lists, because it will be). My name is Kalvin and you can find me weekly on The Magic... Continue Reading →
Superman Fights The Elite:In 2001, a year after Millar and Authority fans LOL’d through his team massacring parodies of the Avengers, Joe Kelly wrote the Superman story What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way? , a sensational book in which a team of obvious parodies of The Authority show up and act like… well, the Authority. Moralistic, hyper-aggressive,... Continue Reading →
https://photos.smugmug.com/Disney/i-sZHWzL2/0/cbccdade/M/OliverCompany-M.jpg OLIVER AND COMPANY (1988): Written by: Charles Dickens (original story), Vance Gerry, Roger Allers, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Dave Michener, Pete Young & Mike Gabriel This one is odd, comparing it to the rest of the Disney Animated franchise. I mean, "Take a famous story and make them animals" has been done, and "people in... Continue Reading →
Happy Fall everyone! I'm still not used to its being so dark when I wake up. I still have the June brain where I expect it to be bright and sunshiney at 6am. Now I get up, see that it's still dark out, think "Oh, good, it must be the middle of the night", then... Continue Reading →
