Green Lantern

☞ Trailer

Yeah so I saw this the day it came out in movie theaters. I'd wanted to see it for a pretty long time so I was excited when it finally came out. Watch the trailer to know what it's about I don't want to explain. I liked the abs in this movie, but other than that it was disappointing. I expected more fighting and less really creepy looking baddies. And when I say creepy I mean extremely creepy. Normally the bad guys are cooler than the good guys but in this case I would never ever in any life want to be either of the bad guys in this movie. Sure, they have cool powers, but I would never want to look like them. So yeah I guess I just expected too much from this movie, but it's not like it was bad. I wouldn't have paid to see it in the movie theater and I could have waited for it to come out on Netflix, but it might be worth it to some people.

I give it: 7/10

Ghostbusters

☞ Trailer

Who you gonna call? Well, it's either Ghostbusters or Maroone I'm about to start talking about but I'm pretty sure you can figure out which one it is. This movie is old, so any of the graphic effects were really funny because technology back then was pretty lame compared to what we have now. Even funnier is to think that this movie was scary when it was released and now it's been turned into a joke because it's so unrealistic. There still were some creepy parts to the movie though.

Everyone knows what Ghostbusters is about so I'm not going to waste my time explaining the plot. Bill Murray was his usual funny self and Rick Moranis (the guy who was in the movies like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) was still extremely short. There were some funny lines that I liked in Ghostbusters too.

I give it: 8/10

Gintama

This seems like what would be produced by someone on crack and acid at the same time. Okay maybe not that crazy, but I'd say pretty close to it. At the same time, this manga is so loveable. The three main characteres, Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura, are just so funny. And it's nice because it can be so weird yet still usually have some sort of storyline to it. Although there are some chapters that are just completely out of the rest of the story, thely're still really funny.

The next section is from Wikipedia because the story of Gintama is much to scattered and crazy for me to even want to attempt to explain it. So without further ado...

"The story of Gin Tama takes place in Edo (known today as Tokyo because of its name change in 1868), Japan, which was conquered by aliens called Amanto in the late Edo period. The samurai of Japan fought the aliens, but after their defeat the Amanto placed a ban on carrying swords in public. The plot is focused on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata who helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from a group of aliens who want to make her part of a brothel. Impressed with Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his apprentice and works with him as a freelancer in order to pay the monthly rent where Gintoki lives, as well as to know more about him. The two of them rescue a teenage alien girl named Kagura from a group of Yakuza who wanted to use her superhuman strength to kill people. Kagura joins Shinpachi and Gintoki to work as freelancers and the three become known as "Yorozuya"."

Yep so there you go, that's the summary. Well, not really, but it's just how it starts out. I admit I haven't read all the volumes yet, but I have read most of them, and the ones I have read I've read them several times. So yes I do like this manga quite a lot just haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.

I give it: 9/10

Gyo

Holy crap this is the weirdest manga I have ever read. I'm kind of glad it's only two volumes just to save the world from contamination of such weirdness. That may be a little bit harsh, but honestly if you read it I'm sure you'd agree.

Freaky fish run rampant in this manga and not in a cool "yay fish" way. The fish get creepy and even beyond creepy. Junji Ito (the mangaka) must have been on something when he did this.

The plot is... wait there was a plot? Hard to notice. I guess that makes sense because this is a horror manga but still. There were more panels about the freakishly grotesque fish-things than actual talking about what the heck was going on in the book.

This manga turned me off to wanting to read any other horror manga because of how bad it was. I know it's unfair of me to do that but that's just how bad this manga is. Maybe I'll try to find one that actually has a plot and doesn't involve mutating fish.

I give it: 2/10
