Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Scott Pilgrim vs the World Knives Chau: I’ve never even kissed a guy before.

Yu Yu Hakusho (Netflix) Hmmm… I must admit I didn’t know how to start reviewing the live action adaptation of the classic “Yu Yu Hakusho,” which we’ll call “Yu Yu Hakusho (Netflix)” or “YYH(N)” for review purposes.

Arnold

Arnold I’m quite sure of one thing, and that’s that Arnold Schwar… Schwarz… Shravzen… well you already know who I mean… he surely influenced how the documentary about his life would go, by the principle “what I did badly, we’ll only minimally cover, and what’s good, well we’ll really spread out on that.” And despite…
