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 5 is that maybe I need to watch it again … Continue reading May Movie Log: 2022
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 quite untrue that what I’m saying is very much not … Continue reading “I Was Wrong”: A Treatise On Getting Old[er]
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 which movie is the best or which actor played the … Continue reading Ranking The Live Action Spider-Man Costumes
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 months of each other, the writing should have been on … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Luke Cage Season 2
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! They have articles on the MCU Disney Plus series, the … Continue reading 2021’s First Time Watch Report!
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 Number Is 3. Now that we’ve got the plugs and … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs (By THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 3!)
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, “We are heroes who will kill if we have to” … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Continued!
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 modern times” had been done, but the fact that this is … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Rescuers Down Under & Oliver and Company
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 look at my phone to see it is 6:30 already. … Continue reading State of the SWO: September 2021
THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989): Written by: Hans Christian Andersen (original story), Roger Allers, Howard Ashman, Ron Clements & John Musker And now we come to the TRUE game-changer at the studio- the movie that started The Disney Renaissance, and helped define a decade. Coming out in the late 1980s after a series of “scratchy outline” movies and weaker faire, this Fairy Tale-based story had some work … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Little Mermaid
Welcome back, chums! Last week, we looked at my ten favorite Pokemon from the original series of games, Red, Blue, and Yellow! We’re moving on to Generation 2 this week to see who is the creme de la creme from the Gameboy Color era of Pokemon. I love Generation 2, and I had a copy of Pokemon Crystal for ages that I played over and … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation Two Pokemon
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991): Written by: Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (original story), Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont (adaptation novel that heavily influenced this), Linda Woolverton, Brenda Chapman, Burny Mattinson, Brian Pimental, Joe Ranft, Kelly Asbury, Chris Sanders, Kevin Harkey, Bruce Woodside, Tom Ellery, Robert Lence & Roger Allers The Disney Animated Canon features some spectacular works of art, and many excel at various things that … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Beauty and The Beast
THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE (1986) Written by: Eve Titus (original books), Vance Gerry, Peter Young, Steve Ulett, John Musker & Ron Clements The whole concept behind this one is a bit odd, and it’s based off of some children’s book I’ve never heard of- basically mouse versions of Sherlock Holmes & Watson, and a rat Moriarty. And Basil lives right below Sherlock himself. God bless Public … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Great Mouse Detective
SPORTS! Here at SWO Productions, we haven’t had a good ol’ sports draft yet. Lots of movie and TV drafts, sure. But sports? Nothing yet. Let’s change that! We partnered with three great podcasters to draft the BEST NFL QUARTERBACKS OF ALL TIME! Check out our draft below, and then don’t forget to vote on Twitter! Let’s meet the participants! Drafting first, we have BRODIE … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best NFL Quarterbacks Of All-Time
THE FOX AND THE HOUND (1981): Written by: Daniel P. Mannix (original novel), Ted Berman, Larry Clemmons, David Michener, Peter Young & Burny Mattinson Another one based off of a forgotten novel (with many changes- initially Tod & Copper didn’t know each other; Chief also dies in the novel), this one wasn’t a major hit, but has a cult following, largely due to the bittersweet nature … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Fox & The Hound
