Shall I Continue? So, the reviewing spirit isn’t dead, as I have journals to account for that. However, a lot of my motivation to compose such reviews has been steadily decreasing. Maybe it’s just burnout from the era where I emulated That Guy with the Glasses-style reviewers, most notably through Doug Walkeresque approaches and composing my reviews as though they were visual, rather than textual, constructs. These days, a lot of my interest in Internet reviewers, outside Mr. Enter, has pretty much diminished. That said, there is still a part of me that channels that (largely film) critic who encouraged me to take a film course i

Another Return to the Wolves of Jasper Yeah, I know. I can already hear the I-knew-it’s coming from the crowd fearing and accusing the series of becoming the next Land Before Time. For a moment, you almost have to wonder if this was a bit of self-awareness, until you recall it’s likely just the sort of plot they figure kids would go for.

On the one hand, the premise of a haunting in the series snags the attention of my horror fan side. On the other hand, I thought they’d turn it into a miserable attempt at a Halloween special. And then, of course, there

The Games Wolves Play I was anxious about the premise of sequels to Alpha and Omega given their direct-to-DVD status and noticeably shorter times, among other aspects. However, A Howl-iday Adventure, for all its own faults, proved to be a decent followup with a better plot and a decent set of characters, especially showing that the new child protagonists wouldn’t steal the entire show. That said...I was not sure what to think of The Great Wolf Games, the third film in the series. It seemed like a typical “underdog team of misfits wins the championship” narrative given the trailer’s focus on the bear cub and porcupine
