Awesome Things To Expect At A Con!

Every year, more and more nerds are born made. Thanks to Marvel movies and DC TV, our people have grown exponentially! And with that growth comes the rise in attendees in nerd conventions. One of the most prominent of which, is the Philippine ToyCon!

And ToyCon 2015 is right around the corner! June 19-21 to be exact! If it’s your first time going, or you don’t know what Cons are, let me tell you what you can generally expect from them. But for those (likely very few) nerds who have no interest in Cons, let me tell you what you’re missing!

Living Up To The Jurassic Franchise

And just like that, Dinosaurs were cool again.

Because seriously, what was the last good dinosaur movie or TV show you remember? Lately it’s all superheroes, zombies, vampires, and what not. It’s a welcome change of pace to finally get a long overdue dose of colossal dino-fun! 

Jurassic World is a direct sequel to the Jurassic Park Trilogy in the 90’s. Its basic premise – dinosaurs are recreated, turned into an attraction and things inevitably go terribly, TERRIBLY, wrong - as in, massive-death-toll kind of wrong. It’s the same basic through line of all the Jurassic franchise movies, and it worked then, and it still works now.

Dragon Ball’s New Era Begins

I love Dragon Ball, especially Dragon Ball Z. I grew up with it, watched all the episodes, watched all the movies, and played all the video games. That said I’m still going to try my best to be objective about this movie review, despite my great, great love for the show. (I may go full DBZ nerd on you from time to time, I’m sorry in advance.)

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of F opens with Frieza’s army’s stand-in commander, Sorbet, attempting to resurrect their late master. When he succeeds, Frieza plots his revenge on the Saiyans that destroyed him. The plot is fairly simple, giving the movie ample opportunity to focus on the fighting.

San Andreas Review: Rockin' Action With A Shaky Foundation

The people of California just hit ROCK BOTTOM!

Eh? Eh? See what I did there?:) Bah, you get it.

...the movie stars The Rock, in case you didn't.

I haven’t seen a good disaster movie in a while, but San Andreas was one of the better attempts recently. It was an intense, visceral, movie that reminds us of our powerlessness against the fearsome forces of nature…unless you were The Rock, of course. In which case, you’d unsurprisingly be able to accomplish even the most ridiculously impossible things.
