Darkwing Duck #8 comic reviewIt’s not every comic that gives you a swarm of vampire potatoes. Seriously, when was the last time you saw the Justice League or Avengers take on such a threat? They probably couldn’t handle it. You know who can? Darkwing Duck!

Darkwing Duck #8 gives us St. Canard being overrun by evil sentient potatoes. All heroes are on hand to fight off the infestation including Gizmoduck, Femme Appeal, Neptunia, and Stegmutt, while Darkwing Duck, his trusty sidekick Launchpad McQuack, and Goasalyn get to the root of the situation.

iZombie - Eat, Pray, Liv television review

There’s actually quite a bit going on in “Eat, Pray, Liv” which is held together by the Liv (Rose McIver) becoming more zen after ingesting the brain of a murdered self-help guru, eventually helping Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin) solve the man’s murder. The awkwardness between Ravi (Rahul Kohli) and Peyton (Aly Michalka) isn’t improved by Ravi admitting his true feelings or strong-arming Blaine (David Anders) to try the experimental memory cure now that Major (Robert Buckley) is on borrowed time.

Samurai Jack - Episode XCVI television review

Spending more time with Jack (Phil LaMarr), Ashi (Tara Strong) is slowly convinced that everything she has learned about the world is wrong. But is her conversion too late? Believing he has failed in saving children abducted by Aku‘s (Greg Baldwin)minions and turned into bloodthirsty weapons, Jack’s already fragile mind is shattered. Ashi actually is able to prevent the tragedy, and for the first time use her considerable skills to save lives rather than take them, but Jack walks off into the fog with the strange rider apparently willing to accept whatever fate has in store for him. Can Ashi find him and convince Jack to pick up the fight once more?

Colossal movie reviewAnne Hathaway stars as Gloria, an unemployed alcoholic who is forced to move back home to her parents’ abandoned house after her boyfriend (Dan Stevens) kicks her out. Back home, she reconnects with childhood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis) while struggling not to fall back into old patterns. All the pieces are here for an entertaining dramedy focused on Gloria, her questionable choices, and the people in her life. However, writer/director Nacho Vigalondo has something far more unusual in mind.

At the same time Gloria returns home a giant creature appears on the streets of Seoul, South Korea. Watching news footage, Gloria can’t help but notice some similarities between the creatures mannerisms and her own and quickly discovers that at one spot in her town, and one specific time, she causes the creature to manifest halfway around the world and controls its actions (be that wanton destruction or goofy dancing). From here the movie could devolve into a wacky comedy, but once again Vigalondo has something more interesting in mind as the film takes an unexpectedly dark turn.

Samurai Jack - Episode XCV television review

Awaking from his fall with the lone surviving Daughter of Aku, Jack (Phil LaMarr) begins his trek once more. Not willing to abandon the wounded brainwashed child Ashi (Tara Strong), the samurai decides to take her with him (despite the fact that she attempts to kill him every opportunity she gets). Even being swallowed by a giant beast and Jack having to crawl out with Ashi chained to his back does lessen the girl’s hatred. One at the end, seeing Jack react in harmony with the environment does doubt begin to creep into Ashi’s mind. Could Jack not be the end-all-evil that Ashi was taught to hate and kill her entire life? And, if so, what happens now?
