Hey, long time no see!
Sorry for the delays. For some reason for this entire month, I just didn’t feel like doing any writing. It’s as if that last Samurai Jack review just drained me for the entire month. It really shouldn’t have done that. That shouldn’t be an excuse. I should post another review before the month changes.
Well guess what, today I am going to post a review about a show I finished recently. It will be up in a few minutes…

…Because I can! If you like Aardman animation and British humor, you should definitely give this 2006 movie a try.
Some things:
You may notice I haven’t been putting pictures with my posts. Yes, it seems easy to go on Google and steal other people’s pictures and post on here with my posts. On the other hand, I have absolutely no time and money to get in trouble and pay hefty fines. I have plans for my future that don’t include those. I could make pictures but I have yet to figure out how I’m going to do it. Yeah, I figure out how to dress up my blog posts when I can.
Also, I am in the process of writing a post about a show I am currently watching. The post will come up soon.
Stay cool, everyone!

…on 27 March 2017.
This is a review that was outlined for a long time. Over a year later, it was written down in complete sentences. As I watched the movie in the dark theater, I had a pen and notebook in my hand blindly jotting down notes.
I’ve been watching the regular Power Rangers shows on and off for over a decade so I thought why not see the latest movie? Let’s see how bad it is and laugh. There was a handful of people in the theater. Not sure how excited they were to see it. Since I’ve seen quite a bit of the Power Rangers franchise series, most of the elements used here were familiar to me.
So, basically, this is Power Rangers but for adults with more adult humor and real-life situations. Somehow I knew this was coming and it was long overdue. Not even the movies from the ’90s had this much flat-out adult humor.
Being more used to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers original characters, at first it was hard to believe that this was what this new cast was trying to be. Alpha 5’s (often as “A.L.P.H.A. 5”) redesign looked very interesting visually. As for Zordon’s redesign…now that was a Zordon! I like how he had a pin art toy-like appearance and the fact he was played by Bryan Cranston. I’ve been wondering about the communication language between Alpha and Zordon in certain parts.
There were some cheesy parts (i.e. the couple in the jewelery store) combined with totally kickin’ scenes (megazord scene). All in all, it’s what I always expect for entertainment with a “Power Rangers” label. For serious Power Rangers fans, you may notice a slight reference from some of the regular series (listen closely).
This movie kept my attention the whole time. I’m kind of on the fence for the rating. I will give this action-packed, eye-catching film 3 1/2 stars, “good” but not good enough for “very good.” If you find this movie and watch it with good and sweet audio devices and/or HD display, you will be amazed.
P.S. Not sure if I’ll do any more motion picture reviews but I’ll let you know if something good comes up.
Coming Up: A Legends of the Hidden Temple movie (2016) review is to be written and other bits of info coming up. Don’t miss it!

Before I continue, here is a preview of the reviews to come in the near future. To be honest, I had a look at my notebook and found not even half of the reviews have been written. They were to have been written as I have watched them. The reviews I DO have written as of now were written about two years ago. I could start with those.
Here is a preview of what is on my list. I will write about (items in blue have been written and ready for posting):
I will have the first review up as soon as I can.
Enjoy!
