I Can’t Wait for Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

I love Teen Titans Go! I loved the original cartoon, sure. But Teen Titans Go! is something truly special. I know a lot of people hate it, but man, those people are squaresville, daddy-o! This show is hilarious and is one of the best examples of trolling in television!

So bring on the movie!

Love it! Hilarious trailer! Can’t wait! Though as much as I love Will Arnett, they probably should have gotten someone other than the voice of LEGO Batman to do Slade. What happens if they want to do a crossover?!

Red Dead Redemption 2 Looks Glorious

Good news, everybody! I went and splurged on a Playstation 4! So games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and the upcoming Spider-Man game are now within my sights. I gave up on consoles a couple years ago because Steam on PC was giving me everything I needed. Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!

My favorite games these days are over-the-shoulder, open world action RPGs. Give me a main story mission, a bunch of optional side missions, a good narrative, some character customization and leveling, a bunch of collectibles to find, and you’ve got me hooked! I loved Witcher 3. I lost myself in that game.

But I’m running out of those kinds of games of Steam. And the response to the new God of War game was so good. So I went for it and am back in the console realm! And just like everybody else, I’m salivating over Red Dead Redemption 2! Holy guacamole, that game looks great!

6 Thoughts on Avengers: Infinity War

My advice for seeing Avengers: Infinity War: See it twice, and make sure you have a good seat. The first time I saw the film, on opening night, I was low and slightly to the left. And I really do think my askew view of the big screen kept me from fully meshing with the large-scale, bombastic superhero action. I came away from Avengers: Infinity War with slight hesitation.

Then I saw it a second time two days later, with a perfect seat, and the movie was even better!

AVIF Review List 01

Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.

I think I’m allowing myself to get too hyped up for these new Marvel movies. I was giddy all day on Thursday, just counting down the hours until I got to take my place in the theater and watch Avengers 3. I wasn’t blown away by the film that first time…nor the second time, I’ll admit. Avengers: Infinity War is not a perfect movie. But it’s a damn good one, and hugely entertaining.

Join me after the jump for my thoughts and a full review of Avengers: Infinity War! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie!

Ant-Man and the Wasp Reminds Us That There is Still Joy in the World

Part of me was curious why we didn’t get a new Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer to go before Avengers: Infinity War. Then I remembered that Marvel doesn’t want to take attention away from their current awesome movie release by focusing too much on their next awesome movie release.

So I think this fun and hilarious trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer is a nice palate cleanser from the ending of Infinity War this past weekend.

Looks awesome! Ant-Man is my favorite hero in the MCU and I’m excited that he’s getting a full-on sequel, perhaps even a trilogy if this one does well. I think this movie could be a really fun thrill ride of superheroics and special effects. And giving the Wasp a big role will be great. Michael Peña is also hilarious in this trailer.

The villain, The Ghost, looks damn cool, too. And I’m glad to see Scott’s daughter coming back big time. She was a great part of the first film.

I think this is going to be set before Infinity War. And maybe the post-credits stinger will be Captain America showing up to recruit Scott and Hope for Infinity War 2.

Here’s to getting the Ant-Man gang back together on July 6!

There’s Gonna Be Another Tomb Raider Game

If you’re like me, you never played any of the classic Tomb Raider games that made the series popular in the first place. If you’re also like me, the first ever Tomb Raider game that you actually played was the 2013 reboot, which you enjoyed enough to buy and play the 2015 sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider.

And this means you’ll be excited to hear about the threequel, Shadow of the Tomb Raider!

Yeah, I’m excited to have another game in this series to play. It’s a fun action game with solid gameplay, cool cinematic moments, and an OK storyline. Bring on another one! I’ll gladly play.

Also, while we’re on the subject, I mostly enjoyed the forgettable Tomb Raider movie earlier this year. It’s based on this series of games, and they do an OK job with it, but made a lot of boring story and character choices. Could have been better. We probably won’t get a sequel.

But hooray for a new game in a couple months! Did I tell you readers that I’ve decided to splurge on a Playstation 4, to get me back into the console game after 2+ years?
