Movie Review: 'Ferdinand'
Blue Sky Animation is the home of the truly mediocre in modern animation. The house that the awful Ice Age movies built is back again and apparently attempting to hide their latest bit of sub-par animation by opening Ferdinand opposite Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Smart move, Blue Sky. Burying Ferdinand is definitely the right call. No, the movie isn’t terrible, it’s just mediocre. And in a world where Pixar still rules, it’s not a bad idea to drop your more modestly ambitious products where few audiences will see it.

How to be Convention Ready!
Conventions. Amazing events where people of all different likings, hobbies, and fandoms can come together (usually in costume) and swap pictures, buy items, and see other cosplays. Specifically, this article will talk about how to survive a fandomized (anime, tv show, cosplay) convention.

The Trailer For 'Avengers: Infinity War' Is Hiding A Major Plot Thread From 'Captain America: Civil War'
The awe-inspiring trailer for Avengers: Infinity War has been released, and it’s already set the internet on fire. The hype is understandable though, because Infinity War truly feels like something special. Its arrival in theaters will mark the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it will culminate a story that was first hinted at during the credits of The Avengers back in 2012. And of course, among all the epic action on show, Infinity War will also be a film with plenty of character beats as these iconic superheroes finally come together.

Visaranai : A Visceral treatment on cops, the system and everybody else caught in between
The first few montages of the yet-to-dawn nocturnal life are enough to invite the film festival community to engage in the story.

While the world awaits Denis Villeneuve's grim, smoggy futuristic version of dystopian Los Angeles in Blade Runner 2, the director made plans to accommodate another science fiction movie and now we've a 2-minute long trailer. It stars Amy Adams which is all I want to know. The teaser previously released sometime last week gave our first look at the characters played by Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker.
