A little over 10 years ago, HBO released this little series called Game of Thrones. It was pretty big and was hailed as maybe the greatest television series of all time. Shortly thereafter, it seemed like everybody was flocking to read the original source material, as more often that not the book is better than …
When I watched the first episode of Zom 100, I couldn’t believe it.

Recently, I went to see One Piece Film Red with my friend Shirley. To be honest, I feel a strong 6/10 on the film – it wasn’t the best OP movie I’ve seen but there was a lot about it that was entertaining and the performances were good enough. Plus we got to see a …
