"The Bob's Burgers Movie" Review

Title: The Bob's Burgers Movie Director: Loren Bouchard, Bernard Derriman Studio: 20th Century Studios Genre(s): Comedy Rated: PG-13 (For rude/suggestive material and language) Video Review Nestled on Sundays at Fox – sitting comfortably between “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” – is a show that has been unassuming since it premiered back in 2011: “Bob’s Burgers.” Though officially an ‘adult show’ with moments of edgy humor, the series has developed a small but dedicated audience for its witty humor, catchy songs, and family dynamics that (unlike most adult animated series) are sweet and endearing as opposed to mean spirited. The series has never been laugh-out-loud funny, but it has a dry sense of humor that is so low key you can’t help but find yourself laughing more often than you’d like to admit. That the family spends each episode supporting one another adds a layer of genuine sweetness that has kept viewers tuning in all these years later. This isn’t the type of

"The Brave Little Toaster" Review

Title: The Brave Little Toaster Director: Jerry Rees Studio: Walt Disney Pictures Genre(s): Drama/Musical Rated: G When John Lasseter first pitched “The Brave Little Toaster” to Disney executives as a potential movie for him to direct, he was surprised to find his vision for a 2D animated movie with computer animated backgrounds was not met with much enthusiasm from the executives running the studio at the time. They felt that there was no reason to make a movie with computers if it didn’t result in the final product being made either faster or cheaper (ideally both). Lasseter was dismissed from the company that very day and he moved on to Pixar, where he would end up making another movie where toys secretly pined to be played with by humans (I’m assuming you all know what I’m talking about). Despite his dismissal from the project, Disney did end up financing “The Brave Little Toaster” and future Pixar alumni Joe Ranft even worked on the screenplay.

"Death Note (2017)" Review

Title: Death Note Director: Adam Wingard Studio: Netflix Genre(s): Horror Rated: TV-MA “Death Note” is based off a manga that has so perfectly captured the imagination and minds of audiences both young and old, that any adaptation is going to be a tricky one. The success of the series is a strange one (and worthy of a book in and of itself). It is a series that was aimed for college kids and adults, but which was originally read mostly by teenagers. It is culturally very Japanese, yet has somehow managed to become a global phenomenon. It is dark and twisted, yet somehow a joy to watch. When Netflix announced they would be making an American adaptation you could hear the moans around the world. For many, the books and an excellent TV adaptation are definitive versions of the story, and if the Japanese couldn’t make live action versions that worked, what made American’s think they could? Being familiar with the source material made sitting d
