This review may contain spoilers.

From Dusk Til Dawn meets O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

Beautifully filmed, killer music, a number of truly strong performances, solid gore effects, and the first half of the story was really intriguing.

The moment when Grace yells at the vampires from inside the juke t is where it all begins to unravel.

Many, MANY dangling plot threads. Stupid character choices. Way too many "endings" (very MCU in that regard).

This could have been a truly amazing movie, instead it's just a well-made, pretty cool one.

Well, this.

This review may contain spoilers.

This 12-episode series blends a number of Wolverine stories together while adding new characters/elements.

Mariko (Uncanny X-Men #118, 1979) of course is the love interest
Shingen and Yukio from the classic Wolverine miniseries (1982) appear
Omega Red?! (1992) stops by to cause some problems
Even Cyclops stops by for a *VERY* brief cameo
Also for whatever reason the yakuza is allied with AIM.

The whole experience is wildly uneven - there are some standout moments, but they are few and far between. Casting Milo Ventimiglia to voice Logan in the English dub was a mistake - he simply doesn't sound tough enough.

This review may contain spoilers.

I was never a big Star Trek fan, but my dad had a copy of this on VHS when I was a kid, and the earwig scene lived rent-free in my memory for decades after the fact.

Now re-watching it some 30ish years later, it really doesn't live up to the hype as the "best" Star Trek film. It's leaps and bounds better than Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but still achingly slow, quiet, and beyond cheesy.

If this is truly the "best" Star Trek film of the original six (1979-1991), then maybe they should have stuck to television.
